History of non-governmental organisations and politics in contemporary Britain
(Colloque sur l'histoire des Organisations Non-Gouvernementales en Grande-Bretagne après 1945)
Since 1945, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and new social movements have proliferated in Britain. Historians are only just becoming aware of their key role in redefining notions of political engagement, and their importance for understanding social and political history. NGOs have driven new political agendas, transformed and revived associational life, and re-politicised generations seemingly disillusioned with the politics of the ballot box. mitted by 23 December 2006. -

Circulating journals and knowledge transfer
Second meeting of the European network on “Scientific periodicals in modern Europe”
The aim of learned periodicals is to circulate information concerning the world of learning : information on recent books on a wide range of topics, news concerning research, observations, experiments, inventions and the Academy. The book market and the traces of private or institutional uses witness the circulation of learned journals all over Europe. Does the material circulation of single titles induce knowledge transfers ? This question gets regional answers, the result of the mapping of these transfers not being homogeneous at all. For a workshop like ours, it is then interesting to investigate where these transfers take place, and where not ? Are they parochial, do they extend from one region to another or do they concern the whole of Europe ? It is also interesting to study the forms they take : reprints, resumptions or translations. -

War Experiences and Identities
The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars in Contemporary Perception
The importance of the armed struggles which took place across Europe and far beyond European borders between 1789 and 1815 for the framing of the political and military culture of the nineteenth century has been largely underestimated. The enduring legacy of this period of warfare related not only to the much-analysed after-effects of the French Revolution, which permanently influenced European political culture far beyond France's borders, but also to the constant state of war which existed between 1792 and 1815. -
