  A century and a half of diplomatic presence - France and Germany since 1871

  Cette journée d'étude sera l'occasion de retracer un siècle et demi de présence diplomatique française en Allemagne depuis l'unification du Reich. Les lieux de cette présence – Berlin tout d'abord mais aussi Bonn et Munich –, les acteurs et les évolutions des pratiques diplomatiques seront au cœur de la réflexion. Mettant l'accent sur le quotidien des émissaires français, l'expérience de l'immersion en terre allemande et le travail interculturel qu'induit le travail diplomatique, cette journée s'incrit dans le renouveau contemporain de l'histoire de la diplomatie. Elle se déroulera dans un cadre permettant un dialogue, ouvert au public, entre chercheurs et praticiens de la diplomatie.

  The Berlin Airlift

  A Realm of Memory of the Cold War

  Whether or not “the entire world” was looking at Berlin, as Reuter asserted, is one of the central questions to be addressed at our conference. Starting from the “frontline city” of Berlin, we will cast our glance to West Germany and its neighboring countries in order not only to frame the Berlin Airlift as a transnational memorial of the Cold War, but also to address, from outside, the question of whether Berlin was really the international focus of the East-West conflict back then, as the press and academia so often portray it.

  All the Beauty of the World. The European Market for non-European Artefacts (18th-20th century)

  In the wake of the Western expansion, a fast growing number of non-European artefacts entered the European market. They initially made their way into princely cabinets of curiosities. Enabled by the forced opening and exploitation of more and more parts of the world and pushed by social and technological changes of the time, the 18^th century brought a boom of the market of non-European artefacts in Europe. This came along with the emergence of a broader collecting culture and the development of a rich museumscape. This market and its development in terms of methods and places of exchange and monetary and ideological value of the objects are in the focus of an international symposium that will take place in October 2016 in Berlin.
