  "Dodgy goings-on" in the world of economics

  The history of distorsions and perverse behaviour and their proscription in the economy and private enterprises

  Le colloque est organisé par un groupe d’historiens qui, depuis plusieurs années, mène des recherches dans le domaine de l’histoire de la corruption politique depuis le XIX^e siècle. Il repose sur deux postulats: la critique de la corruption ne concerne pas uniquement le politique, mais aussi les acteurs de l'économie, dans leurs liens avec l'État. De plus, une histoire de l’éthique managériale et économique avant la lettre fait encore défaut à ce jour.

  Call for papers - Middle Ages

  Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment

  International Medieval Congress

  Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.

  From One War to the Next: What Was Left of 1870-1871 in 1914?

  International Relations, Armies and Societies

  In Yesterday’s World: a European Memory, Stefan Zweig considered he could speak of the Austro-Hungarian Empire before 1914 as a “golden age of security” when “nobody believed in wars”, which were widely thought to belong to “bygones eras”. Indeed, one of the first questions that comes to mind on the eve of the commemorative events of 2014 is what did Europeans make out of the war and what did it mean to them: what memories and forms of knowledge fed their understanding of the new reality that faced them in the summer of 1914?

  Defenders of Peace 1899-1917

  Ce colloque, à l'occasion du centenaire de la première guerre mondiale, entend réflechir sur l'échec de la paix en s'intéressant à l'action de tous ceux et de toutes celles qui, dans les différents pays d'Europe et du monde, ont cherché à empêcher l'éclatement d'une guerre européenne ou ont cherché à en interrompre le cours. Le champ de recherches inclut toutes les sensibilités de paix émanant d'horizons politiques et de milieux sociaux très divers. Il s'attache aussi bien aux personnalités et militants qu'aux lieux et réseaux de défense de la paix, aux initiatives, évènements, manifestations et tentatives de paix, aux relations des pacifistes avec les États, aux idées, débats et controverses, enfin aux sensibilités et dimensions affectives, aux désirs de paix.

  Merchant, Ecclesiastical and Urban experiences for the uprising of princely accounting

  Provence, Comté Venaissin, Dauphiné, Savoy, and others territories of Occident (12th - 15th Century)

  The advent of monarchic accounting during the Thirteenth Century requires two types of reflection. The first one deals with the personnel mobilized by the monarch, its background, training and professional and family culture. The second one is more of an inquiry into the writing methods, the conservation and consultation processes used by the institutions in charge of princely accounting, especially the Camere rationum (accounting offices).
