Debt, Democracy, Citizenship

A Political History of Public Debts (Europe and the United States, since the Late Eighteenth Century)

This is call for papers for a symposium to be held in Paris in June 2013. Its main theme is a political history of public debts since the end of the eighteenth century. Organized as a workshop, this symposium aims to explore the public debt as the locus for political debates and conflicts. Our goal is to bring together various case studies, using different approaches, but all analyzing aspects of the link between politics (especially in its social or participative dimensions) and the indebtedness of states. This should help shed new light on such central concepts for our understanding of the modern political world as sovereignty, citizenship, democracy, and solidarity.

Sociability and conviviality in Europe and North America, 17th-18th centuries

Académies, loges maçonniques, clubs et salons, société de lecture ou de débats, lycées et « musées » tel celui de Bordeaux créé en 1783, les lieux de sociabilité se multiplient aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, alliant au plaisir de la convivialité et à l’art de la conversation une visée scientifique d’élaboration et de discussion des savoirs. Une abondante littérature normative n’a eu de cesse de définir les contours d’une sociabilité idéale. Plutôt qu’aux manuels de civilité ou de bienséance en eux-mêmes, on s’intéressera au fonctionnement effectif, quotidien, de ces espaces de sociabilité, aux mécanismes d’interaction qui confirment, ou parfois infirment, la validité de ces modèles. On s’intéressera à l’extension et aux limites de la sociabilité dans les sociétés hiérarchisées.

Contested Democracy:

Contestation and Participation in the English-speaking World

The dissent and uprisings that spread through the Arab world during the Spring of 2011 occurred almost a quarter of a century after the fall of East European political régimes that saw the rise of "democracy" modeled on the Anglo-American representative system. This specific context which has come to characterize the past quarter of century calls for a renewed analysis of the models these political systems represent and of the processes that triggered them and led to their long-term establishment in the UK and the US.Since the 1990s, as a response to the story of the inevitable emergence of democracy in the aftermath of the Cold War, researchers on North American politics have provided an alternative reading of events: that of a "contested democracy".

World War 2 : History, Art and Memory

The session will be divided into three complementary sections with the aim of exploring in an original manner a historical moment—the Second World War—that is crucial for the understanding of the contemporary world. The first part of the course will be devoted to the study of Franco-American relations during the war, providing us the opportunity to revisit well-known political and military events from the perspective of American press coverage. The second part of the course will examine the war through the official War Artists' scheme launched in 1939. The third and final part of the course will approach the memory of the Second World War through films that have played a crucial role in shaping our memory of this event, from 1945 to the present day.
