  First Annual Workshop of the Research Programme "Corpses of mass violence"

  This workshop addresses the first phase of the research programme “Corpses of mass violence and genocide”. In the context of mass violence and genocide, death is not the end of the executors’ work. After the abuses, the victims’ corpses are treated and manipulated in very specific ways, amounting in some cases to true social engineering; this phase is remarkably little documented in the existing research. This conference aims therefore to explore this phase of destruction, across a range of extreme situations including mass cremations, concealment, profanation, displacement or re-burials. Focused on the 20th century, the conference will seek to reevaluate the motivations, the ideological frameworks and the technical processes at work in the destruction of corpses, taking a comparative and instrumental perspective which should open to new research in mass violence and genocide studies.

  Call for papers - History

  Gendarmeries of the world, from the French Revolution up to the present day

  Depuis deux siècles, une quarantaine de forces de sécurité sont directement ou indirectement issues de la gendarmerie française. En dépassant la lecture nationale del’histoire de la gendarmerie, on veut étudier la diffusion de ce que l'on appellera provisoirement le « modèle gendarmique français », interroger ses formes et ses résultats, observer les acteurs et les enjeux d'une circulation originale, sans négliger les effets-retours. Largement ouvert sur le plan chronologique et géographique, ce colloque devra ainsi permettre de revisiter un certain nombre de concepts initialement forgés dans le cadre français.
