    Liberation struggles, the “falling of the empire” and the birth [through images] of African nations

    The fortieth anniversary of Portuguese decolonisation of Africa has acted as a catalyst in discussing how Portugal “imagined” colonial politics through moving images and how these propagandist portrayals began to be questioned by the Portuguese “Novo Cinema”. This can be seen in works that were censured and prohibited. Portuguese colonial cinematographic representations were later challenged by films made in the context of the liberation movements and by images that emerged out of the national cinematographic projection (Frodon) of the new Portuguese-speaking African countries. This conference intends to go some way in highlighting common aspects in the emergence of cinema in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau, which have all been studied individually.

    The War within: finance and morality in early-modern Europe (1630-1815)

    While many historical studies have shown that the funding of international warfare had a profound impact on institutional and economic developments, less work has been done on the ways in which European polities responded to the "War within" that pitted those who benefited from war expenditure against those who paid for the military effort. A series of case studies on Spain, Venice, the Dutch provinces, the Austrian Low Countries, Prussia, France, Britain and Sweden will analyse some of the conflicts that arose when the needs and methods of financing war met social demands for morality and accountability. These are fundamental questions that still resonate and have relevance today as governments and societies try to move on from the Global Financial Crisis.

    Stylus as a Paint Brush – Writing and Artistic Creation (VIth to IXth centuries)

    International medieval congress 2016

    By involving scholars from various disciplines, these two sessions will explore: the ability of late antique and medieval authors to create images throughout their written words, blurring the borders between visual and literary arts; investigate how the written and oral dissemination of textual imagery interacted with the conception, production, and perception of visual arts in the same period.

    The Dominican Order in the Middle Ages

    En 2016, l'Ordre dominicain fêtera son 800e anniversaire. Au Moyen Âge, il joua un rôle crucial dans toute l'Europe, en particulier dans les débats sur la prédication et la pastorale, l'hérésie et l'Inquisition, la pauvreté et la richesse. Pour marquer cet anniversaire, plusieurs sessions de l'International Medieval Congress (IMC) de Leeds porteront sur les débuts de l'histoire de l'ordre. Elles viseront à faire le point sur l'état de la recherche et à mettre en place un réseau de chercheuses et chercheurs issus de pays différents.

    Fabrications: Designing for Silk in the Eighteenth Century

    Joubert de la Hiberderie’s Le Dessinateur d’étoffes d’or, d’argent, et de soie (1765) was the first book to be published on textile design in Europe.  In preparation for the publication of an English translation and critical edition of the text this one day conference calls for papers that will analyse, critique, contextualise, review or otherwise engage with the Le dessinateur in the light of its themes: production, design, technology, education, botany and art.  Joubert’s manual argues for both a liberal and a technological education for the ideal designer. Such a person must, he argues, have detailed knowledge of the materials, technologies and traditions of patterned silk in order successfully to propose new designs; he or she must also have taste and an eye for beauty, which call, he says, for travel in order to see both the beauties of nature and those of art gathered in the gardens and galleries of Paris and the île de France.

    Rethinking Right-Wing Women

    Gender, Women and the Conservative Party, 1880s to the Present

    This two-day international conference explores the relationship between women and conservatism since the late 19th century. In the media frenzy and the re-enactment of the visceral political divisions of the 1980s that greeted the death of Margaret Thatcher in April, 2013, it soon became clear that Britain’s first woman Prime Minister was being portrayed as an aberrant figure who had emerged from a party of men.  It appeared that the media and the public had not been well enough served by academics in making sense of and contextualizing the Thatcher phenomenon and, more broadly, the paradoxical sexual politics of the Right.

    Radical Americas Symposium 2015

    The aim of the event is to bring a range of disciplinary and geographical perspectives to bear on radicalism throughout the Americas. Our definition of radicalism is a broad one, encompassing both political radicalism as an object of study, and radical analytical approaches to the societies and cultures of the Americas. We welcome proposals that deal with any aspect of radicalism, from the democratic and republican radicalisms of the nineteenth century; to the socialist, anarchist, communist, and populist radicalisms of the twentieth century; as well as contemporary identity politics, social movements, and twenty-first century radicalisms.

    San-Antonio international : représentations, circulation, traductions, échanges

    L’ampleur et la pérennité du succès de San-Antonio en France restent peu comprises à l’étranger. Malgré un demi-siècle de carrière, plus de 250 livres publiés et des dizaines de millions d’exemplaires vendus, cet auteur, sous ce pseudonyme ou sous le nom de Frédéric Dard demeure très mal connu hors de France, et il est rare de trouver ses livres en librairie hors des pays francophones. Ses romans, tant sous pseudonyme que sous patronyme ont pourtant été largement traduits dans une trentaine de pays. Son œuvre a aussi circulé sous d’autres formes médiatiques, inspirant en particulier de nombreux films distribués internationalement.
