  Call for papers - History

  Colonisations, revolutions, and reinventions in early America and the Atlantic World 1600-1848

  8th biannual conference of the European Early American Studies Association

  This call for papers invites established scholars, post-doctoral students and graduate students to re-examine the fundamental concept of Atlantic history in light of current research on the themes of colonisations, revolutions, and reinventions, from 1600 to 1848. It is also an opportunity to examine the history of transformations in early America and, broadly, the early modern world, by taking fuller account of scholarship on the politics of primitive globalisation. We will focus on the empires that organised European settlements in disrupting and dislocating native peoples, prompting indigenous cultures to re-invent themselves; but we will  also be attentive to the processes that led to the formation of new Euro-American societies in the Americas, often shaped by the enslavement of Africans and other forms of unfree labor. In the North-American colonies, the West Indies, India, Latin America, and Africa, entire peoples and their lands were reinvented by trading companies, individual administrators, theoreticians and executors of empires, as well as by those rare voices, many of who were abolitionists, who developed a critical approach to European expansion abroad.

  St. Louis, Senegal, and New Orleans

  The Comparative and Linked History of Two Port Cities on Each Side of the Atlantic, 17th to 21st Centuries

  Fondées respectivement en 1659 et en 1718 à proximité de l’embouchure des fleuves Sénégal et Mississippi, Saint-Louis et La Nouvelle-Orléans sont deux villes importantes du monde atlantique, de la diaspora africaine et de l’empire français du XVIIe au XXe siècle. Elles partagent une histoire commune autour de la traite, de l’esclavage, de la colonisation française et de leurs héritages. Il existe ainsi de nombreuses connections et résonances entre l’histoire de ces deux cités portuaires. Bien qu’elles occupent chacune une place singulière au Sénégal, aux États-Unis et au sein de la francophonie, Saint-Louis et La Nouvelle-Orléans n’ont pourtant jamais été étudiées dans une perspective d’histoire comparée et croisée sur la longue durée.
