Leipzig

The sources of international relations between the political centres of Europe and the Mediterranean (800–1600)

Letters - Acts - Treaties

The 15^th International Congress of Diplomatics organized by the Commission internationale de diplomatique, which is being held between the 4th and 6th of October at Leipzig, studies the diplomatic characteristics of medieval and early modern charters and the related documentation being used in “international” and interreligious diplomacy. The main objective of the conference is to analyse the "international" and interreligious repertoire of types and forms of the documents as well as their regional specific characteristics. Special attention will be dedicated to the different stages of tradition and the consequences for historical interpretation focussing on the internal and external characteristics of the diplomatic documentation.

Crisis. Auxesis. The nature of economic crises in Antiquity

Crisis and growth in the economies of the Ancient world

Table ronde organisée par l’Institut universitaire de France, l’université de Lyon 2, l’UMR 5189 HISOMA et la Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée, l’université de Lille 3 et l’UMR 8164 HALMA-IPEL. La question est d’abord méthodologique : à quoi reconnaît-on une crise, ou inversement des indices de croissance, dans nos sources ? Comment peut-on analyser, en contexte, une amélioration des conditions de vie des populations ? Comment interpréter les moments d’échec dans les économies antiques ? Il s’agit également de s’interroger sur la formulation et la perception par les Anciens de ces notions de crise, de croissance et de progrès.

La réinvention du « lien » en Méditerranée

Figures, formes, métamorphoses

Comment questionner la façon dont s’articulent religieux et politique, sous leur double aspect de pratiques individuelles et collectives ? Quels sont les dispositifs et les formes de médiation qui ont accompagné la volonté d’instaurer une réconciliation nationale centrée sur la remémoration des exactions vécues par les victimes ? Sur quels critères idéologiques, politiques, économiques ou touristiques s’opèrent la sélection des « objets » et des « lieux » patrimoniaux communs ? Quels rôles enfin, les médias (télévision, internet) jouent-ils dans les mises en scènes, mise en visibilité ou reconfigurations sociales et culturelles ? Peut-on fabriquer du consensus sans réactiver de nouvelles controverses et susciter des résistances ?Les études proposées dans ce colloque ont recours à la compréhension de mythes ou imaginaires fondateurs de toute entité sociale inscrite dans le temps, à l’analyse de processus ou des stratégies symboliques conçus dans la période contemporaine et à la perspective d’une projection dans le futur.

Religious Community and Modern Statehood

The passage from the Ottoman empire to modern states

The conference aims to explore various aspects of the communal organization in the Ottoman Empire for regions such as Asia Minor, Middle East and the Balkans, and to present the changes that occurred within the religious communities during the 19th century and particularly during the period from Tanzimat reforms until the First World War. Key questions in relation to the modernization process of the Ottoman state and the functioning of religious communities, are a) how does the Sublime Porte understand the process of structuring a modern state with respect to religious communities, b) who is responsible for the modern institutions: the state or the religious communities, c) what is the reaction of the religious communities regarding the modernization process d) why and in what way the religious communities are changing on the light of this process.

Religions and Politics in Europe's Orients (14th-20th c.)

The goal of this conference is to explore a number of aspects of the relationship between the religious phenomenon and politics through the historical framework of political developments in what progressively will become, through interaction, the Orients of Europe, i.e. Eastern and Southeastern Europe as well as the Eastern Mediterranean, an area so unorthodox and difficult to examine in terms of essentialist definitions. It is no accident that Samuel Huntington believed that what we call the ‘Orthodox East’ does not form a part of the West, but rather a sui generis encounter between Christianity and Islam at the borders of Europe. This theoretical scheme is not overturned by drawing the borders of Europe a little further to the East, as many believe, but by historicizing the issue of the relationship between religion and politics in the given geographical region through the comparative prism of what was occurring during the same period in Western Europe.

Society and Politics in South-Eastern Europe during the 19th century

There has always been a negative image attached to South-Eastern European politics and polities and rarely has it been widely acknowledged (Mazower) that the process of state formation in the region was not just a pale and gruesome caricature of Western European models but rather a complicated affair involving juggling with various institutional models (local as well as imported ones), coping with societies of a sometimes inextricable ethnoreligious diversity and varying degrees of political allegiance to central power, dealing with foreign interference and tampering. 19th century visitors of the region contributed a lot to this negative image which still clings to the region (Todorova) and culturalists still like to refer back to the 19th c. as the genealogical matrix of all the region’s evils.

Voisinages fragiles : les relations interconfessionnelles en Méditerranée orientale et dans le Sud-Est européen

Contraintes locales et enjeux internationaux, 1854-1923

À l'heure de l'élargissement partiel et problématique de l'U.E. en direction du Sud-Est européen et de la Méditerranée orientale, ce colloque organisé par l'École française d'Athènes vient aborder une des questions les plus brûlantes dans la région et ayant souvent donné lieu à des simplifications caricaturales, parfois lourdes de consèquences. En abordant l’histoire des relations interconfessionnelles de 1854 à 1923, nous nous proposons d’adopter un point de vue relationnel étayant la variété des contacts, la multitude des stratégies des individus comme des institutions, le rapport complexe entre religions, identités et politique, enfin le rapport ambigu entre Orient et Occident, plutôt que de présenter un énième essai, facile et rassurant, de définition essentialiste des identités religieuses et de leur correspondance parfaite et diachronique à des identités nationales.
