  Town Twinning in Europe

  Concepts and Praxis of Rapprochement during the 20th Century

  Today there are almost 20,000 communal partnerships across Europe. In fact, they have become somewhat of a mass phenomenon since the 1960s. Despite this impressive development, historical research has shown little devotion to this particular form of international relations. Its detailed analysis, however, allows special insight into the participation of “common citizens” in international initiatives and international exchange in a communal setting. The goal of the conference is to depict the history of town twinning by challenging the concept and definition thereof. City partnerships have particularly developed in the context of bilateral rapprochement after the Second World War, the European Integration and the Cold War. Since the collapse of the Soviet bloc, they have also become a symbol for a Europe of civil partnership “from below”. Furthermore, they do not only play an important role in Europe and its relations with its neighbors, but through globalization, ultimately with the rest of the world.

  Through every sense

  Numéro thématique de traverse, revue d'histoire, 2, 22, 2015

  L’histoire des sens constitue actuellement l’un des champs les plus dynamiques de la recherche historique à dimension anthropologique. Se situant certes dans le sillage du visual / iconic / pictorial turn, les interrogations portent désormais davantage sur les possibilités d’historiciser l’ouïe, l’odorat, le goût et le toucher, tout en continuant à explorer la vue ; par ailleurs, l’histoire des sens propose une relecture critique de certains questionnements, plus anciens, issus de l’anthropologie historique, de l’histoire des sensibilités et de celle des mentalités.
