  Germany and its Images in World Exhibitions

  The very first World Exhibition, held in London in 1851, presented industry as a thriving sector, a dreamworld offering man endless possibilities. This theme was a constant in subsequent Exhibitions, culminating in the Paris Exhibition of 1900, which represented a new highpoint for technological achievement. It was at this time, between 1880 and 1914, that Germany sought to impose itself as an industrial giant. By the time of the Exhibition of 1904, held in the American city of St Louis[1], German industrialists were working harder than ever to achieve recognition from their peers around the world.

  Formation artistique transnationale au XIXe siècle

  Transnationale Künstlerausbildung im 19. Jahrhundert

  L’équipe du projet de recherche ArtTransForm (Technische Universität Berlin / université François-Rabelais Tours, 2010-2015) organise un colloque conclusif sur le phénomène de la formation artistique transnationale au XIX^e siècle. La mobilité des artistes au moment de leur formation joue un rôle crucial dans la construction biographique mais aussi dans le regard posé sur d'autres pratiques, d'autres milieux artistiques et professionnels et d'autres possibilités d'expression personnelle. Elle redessine enfin une géographie artistique différente des écoles nationales habituellement décrites dans les manuels.

  Processus de transmission dans les familles de migrants ou issues de l'immigration

  Regards croisés dans les États de l'Union européenne

  Asking oneself questions on the concept of « transmission » in the field of sociology or history of immigration, one can refer to Max Weber’s observation: “All differences in ‘customs’ can feed a specific feeling of ‘honor’ and ‘dignity’ within those who carry them out. One can forget the original motives that gave birth to diverse lifestyles and the contrasts continue being perpetuated as ‘conventions’.” (Economie et Société, Vol.2, Pocket 1995, p. 128) Nearly a century later, can this observation still be considered as a topical subject? It is exactly this question that the conference offers to verify, summoning around the syntagm “process of transmission” the different disciplinary fields of migratory research.

  War and experiences of European-ness: convergences, transfers and circulations (1900–1950)

  National societies do not function in closed space. The spread of new communication and transport means during the second half of the 19^th century has brought together formerly distant regions of the European continent and created new spaces for economic and information exchanges. This process of convergence provided a basis for a larger "community of Europeans". At the same time, a somewhat contradictory development took place through the strengthening of nationalist ideas and movements leading to the foundation of so-called "nation-states" in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and the intensification of tensions between different ethnic groups and minorities. European societies therefore experienced contradictory changes, both rapprochement on a transnational level and withdrawal to the national space.

  The Cartography of Space: Voyagers in the Baltic and Mediterranean Regions from the Middle Ages to the 19th Century

  L'intérêt que la recherche historique récente porte à la notion de « l'espace » est étroitement liée aux changements politiques, économiques et culturels qui dépassent dans le contexte de la mondialisation les processus traditionnels d'identification et de structuration de l'État national. L'objectif du colloque présenté ici est d'analyser, au-delà des catégories traditionnelles de l'État nation, les conceptions et descriptions spatiales du passé qui se rapportent à la région de la Mer baltique et/ou la Méditerranée (ou à des espaces différement circonscrits tels le « Nord », le « Sud », le « Levant », etc.) tout en essayant de définir et de décrire ces espaces en tant que tels sur un plan historique, géographique et culturel.
