    Women in Educated Elites of Pre-Socialist and Early Socialist East Central European Societies

    The opening up to modernity of East Central Europe since the late 19th century was marked – among other things – by a triple process generating structural transformations of established post-feudal societies and affecting often radically the status of women. Due to post-feudal conditions of competition for social standing, positions of influence and prestige, hitherto unknown forms of inequalities appeared in the very process of accumulation of political, economic, professional, cultural an educational assets henceforth necessary for the access to the elites. Female professionals, though they could rarely achieve advanced careers in the ruling elites in the old regime, so much so that they often encountered even various forms of public rejection and discrimination on intellectual markets, significantly participated in the framing of the way of life of the new middle class. This workshop will adopt a gender-focused perspective cocentrating on the place of women (training, education, professions) and bringing to light the differences and inequalities existing between male and female members of educated elites.

    Creation in contemporary philosophy

    Ethics and politics

    Ce worshop se propose de questionner la nature et la fonction du concept de création dans la philosophie éthique et politique contemporaine. Il trouve son origine dans le constat que certaines philosophies (notamment celles de Bergson, Merleau-Ponty, Simondon ou Deleuze), qui partagent le souci de s’en tenir à l’expérience, ont été amenées à développer une pensée nouvelle de la création pour ressaisir l’être dans son immanence même ou encore éclairer en acte le mode opératoire des processus génétiques. Or, ces philosophies, loin de questionner d’emblée un concept de création qui n’ouvrirait qu’en un deuxième temps des perspectives dans les domaines de l’art, de la morale et de la politique, montrèrent que ce sont  ces expériences singulières mêmes qui requéraient, pour être élucidées, un concept de création, nouveau concept qui parfois, de façon paradoxale, appelait son propre dépassement.
