Persistent Spaces

Politics, aesthetics and topography in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century city

This two-day conference brings together young researchers to explore the city and its ideologies from a fully interdisciplinary perspective. Persistent Spaces combines approaches from various fields in order to create a dialogue between disciplines and methodologies. This conference also seeks to establish a dialogue between the 18^th and the 19^th centuries, in turns highlighting the individual specificities of these two periods, and accounting for the echoes, continuities and breaks between them.

Persistent Spaces: politics, aesthetics and topography in the XVIIIth and XIXth-century City

Our two-day postgraduate conference will explore the evolving configurations of the urban space from the Enlightenment to the late 19th-century. We will consider the accumulating and interpenetrating layers that make up the 18th- and 19th-century city. London and Paris will be our main focus, but this palimpsestic model may be extended elsewhere, and we will welcome abstracts centring on other cities. Interdisciplinarity will be key to our conference. We hope to attract researchers from various fields, including literature and the arts, sociology, philosophy, law, science and engineering, etc. Through this ‘decompartmentalized’ approach, we will attempt to shed light on the myriad facets of the 18th- and 19th-century city.

Nature(s): Designing, Experiencing, Representing the natural environment (18th to 21st centuries)

The international conference "Nature(s)" which will be held on June 6-8th, 2013 and will coincide with other cultural and scientific events in Nantes as a "European Green Capital", will question what is really at stake when human beings consciously deal with nature and natural spaces, especially in an urban context. Over the centuries, how have writers, artists, painters or landscape planners been grappling with nature in a rapidly growing urban world, and how did they question the way in which human beings lived but also dreamt their future?

Industrial hazards and accidents (late 17th – late 19th century)

Technological accidents question our industrial society; they are an inherent part of the “risk society” concept that scientists, sociologists, geographers and anthropologists have popularised since the eighties. However, in order to step back and take a longer term view, historicization of the concept is necessary. Although historians have also begun to examine this question, they have focused primarily on the most contemporary period during which spectacular accidents have occurred and have sometimes led to disasters. But industrial (or artisanal or mining) accidents occurred throughout the earlier economic development process in Europe. They went hand in hand with the emergence of the industrial society that they helped to create.

Forming a good citizen

Social order and moral discipline in the cities of the Swiss territory (14th-18th century)

Dès les derniers siècles du Moyen Âge, on assiste dans de nombreuses villes de l'Europe occidentale à une ingérence croissante de la part des autorités municipales dans les affaires religieuses et à un contrôle accru des moeurs des citoyens. Les politiques déployées par les villes sont diverses et touchent de nombreuses pratiques et institutions urbaines. Le point commun de ces politiques est constitué par la volonté de contrôler et de soumettre tout citoyen (laïc ou ecclésiastique) à l'odre social et moral voulu par les autorités civiles. L'action des pouvoirs civils vise en définitive à la formation de bons citoyens, voire de bons chrétiens, les deux éléments n'étant pas dissociables.
