Nation and Globalisation

Maison Française d'Oxford conference cycle

L'axe de recherche « Nation et mondialisation » a notamment privilégié un programme pluridisciplinaire relatif à l’analyse des élites. D’un point de vue politologique, il concerne l’analyse comparative des représentants politiques au sein des démocraties européennes et d’autre part celle de la symbolique, appréhendée notamment du point de vue des rituels politiques. Dans une perspective davantage sociologique, il ambitionne de favoriser le développement d’études comparatives autour de la question de la distinction élitiste, y compris avec le concours d’historiens ou d’anthropologues susceptibles d’introduire, pertinemment, des dimensions temporelles et culturelles.

Court Medicine: Healthcare Personnel and Sanitary Politics in European Courts, late 15c-18c

Court medical practitioners changed in numbers, occupations and functions during the Renaissance and early modern period (15c-18c) practitioners focused on different specialities within body-care, and took on different roles in the government of Europe’s states. Building on recent work that has concentrated on the history of body care at courts, this workshop will explores changes in court medical politics, practices and practitioners and the consequences they had for, firstly, medical thought, regulation and practice and, secondly, the activities, management and evolution of early modern states.

Great historical narratives in European museums, 1750-2010

Building Nations, Looking across Borders and Remembering the Past

À l'heure où, en France, le terme de « roman national » est entré dans le vocabulaire courant, à mesure peut-être de sa transformation en « lieu de mémoire », et où le monde des musées s'y trouve confronté à nouveau, on s'interrogera sur sa place dans les musées nationaux européens. Comment, d'abord, en donner une traduction en termes d'exposition – sauf à imaginer qu'un message global ou principal inspire généralement le musée et structure sa présentation d'une collection d'objets, d'images et d'informations ? Peut-on ensuite considérer le musée en tant qu’auteur – de la voix individuelle du conservateur à celle, collective, de l'organisation – notamment dans son rapport à l'historiographie académique et à la vie politique, nationale et internationale ?

French Theory: reception in the visual arts in the United States between 1965 and 1995

Nombreux sont les artistes américains, actifs dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, à avoir nourri leur réflexion et leur pratique des apports de la philosophie, des études littéraires et des sciences sociales. À cet égard, un certain nombre d'auteurs français ont bénéficié très tôt d'un intérêt soutenu. La perspective de ce colloque sera l'étude de la réception de cette « pensée française » dans le domaine des arts visuels à partir de 1965 et jusqu'en 1995, veille d'un mouvement d'évaluation critique de l'influence de ces auteurs sur la pensée intellectuelle américaine, initiée entre autres par la désormais fameuse « affaire Sokal ».

Subjectivity and Sociability in the Arabic and Latin Traditions

The general theme of the workshop is to explore the notions of subjectivity in the contexts of moral and political philosophy from Late Antiquity to Early Modern period. In more precise terms, the workshop concentrates on the various ways in which human subjectivity figures in discussions concerning human sociability, and how the conceptions of human experience, agency, consciousness, self-consciousness, emotions, and intersubjectivity appear in political contexts. By addressing the interplay between political philosophy and philosophical psychology in different historical and intellectual contexts, the workshop will further philosophical understanding of the nature of subjectivity within social context and elucidateaffiliations and parallel developments within different traditions.

Catholic Intellectuals in France in the mid-20th Century

Following the success of the journée d’étude ‘Engaging with Engagement: French Catholic Thought 1930-50’, held at Magdalen College in May 2010, this conference will continue and extend exploration of different types of French Catholic intellectual engagement during the mid-twentieth century, against the backdrop of the ‘crises’ of civilization of the interwar period through to the war years and beyond. The formation of Catholic identities, in their artistic, philosophical, theological and political manifestations, and the shifting norms and values of political and social commitments in relation to their cultural and theological fault lines, are central to our concerns.
