  Memoires of Souf Algerians in Nanterre

  Oral archives study day

  Organisée par la Bibliothèque de documentation internationale contemporaine et le département d'histoire de l'Université de Paris Ouest, cette rencontre marque l’aboutissement d’un projet de collecte d’archives filmiques parmi les anciens émigrés algériens des bidonvilles de Nanterre. Les différents acteurs du projet seront invités à discuter de son bilan et de ses apports. Ce sera également l’occasion de présenter ce nouveau fonds consultable à la BDIC, de revenir sur ses conditions d’élaboration et de visionner quelques extraits. La journée s’adresse autant aux chercheurs intéressés par l’histoire et la mémoire des Algériens en France qu’à tous ceux, originaires du Souf ou non, qui ont envie de mieux connaître le passé des migrations et des bidonvilles de Nanterre.

  Call for papers - Urban studies

  Representing South African cities

  This conference proposes to present the latest developments in the research on South African cities, but also to offer an opportunity for academics from various fields (literature, social sciences, architecture, geography, visual arts, etc.) to compare their respective analysis and their theoretical conclusions with the imaginative, artistic representations of the cities of South Africa. The convenors therefore not only invite researchers from all fields to come and present their latest work on South African cities, but also strongly encourage papers which offer a cross-disciplinary approach, or joint presentations between researchers from various fields or academics and artists (writers, directors, photographs). Some major actors of the literary and art scene will be present to expose their views and discuss their works with researchers as well as with a wider, more general audience.This conference is part of the Official Season of South Africa in France.

  Conference, symposium - History

  Histoire de l’Algérie coloniale

  Longue durée et désenclavement

  Historians have long focused on the independence war, and this has given rise to a rich historiography. Consequently, the longer term colonial period was less extensively explored. However, recent historiography shows that new ground has been broken. It is perhaps now time to pause and reflect on the historiography. The purpose of this conference is two-fold: firstly, can we have a better understanding of the colonization of Algeria in the longue durée, beyond the traditional focus on periods of conflict? The second aim is to take the history of Algeria out of its isolation and place it instead within the broader picture of imperial history – whether in relation to hexagonal France or the other French colonies.
