Music and nation, 1918-1945, Europe and the Americas (II)
Music, nationalism and transnationalism - diplomacy, politics and aesthetics
Ce colloque constitue la deuxième étape du programme de recherche « Musique et nation dans l’entre-deux-guerres - Europe-Amériques ». Il fait suite à la journée d’études « Musique et nation dans l’entre-deux-guerres » qui s’est tenue le 10 décembre 2015 à Paris. Y sera développée une réflexion sur la mobilisation de la musique par des acteurs publics ou privés dans des contextes locaux, nationaux et internationaux. Trois axes seront privilégiés : les usages de la musique dans la diplomatie culturelle ; la musique dans les commémorations et les répertoires à dimension commémorative et la place des imaginaires nationaux et nationalistes dans le discours sur la musique.

Cultures of Conservatism in the United States and Western Europe between the 1970's and 1990's
The conference will examine the cultural history of conservative ideas and movements in Western Europe and the United States between the 1970s and the 1990s. Focusing on cultures of conservatism, the conference will rethink the general contours of conservatism. It will pay close attention to the intersection of culture, politics and economics, in order to broaden our understanding of the processes of change that have unfolded since the 1970s.

The Allied Occupation of Germany Revisited
New Research on the Western Zones of Occupation, 1945-1949
The Allied occupation of Western Germany after the Second World War has recently seen a revival of interest among historians. This two-day international conference will showcase new research from scholars based across the globe and provide a forum for the presentation of innovative approaches to the history of the three western zones of occupation. It also aims to stimulate dialogue between historians of the different zones of occupation and so bring together hitherto almost entirely segregated historiographies.

Radical Americas Symposium 2016
The theme of this year’s Radical Americas symposium is “Decolonizing Americas”, acknowledging the long arc of struggle for freedom since the period of European colonization of the Western Hemisphere in the 15th century. Our collaborative effort will be to consider how histories within the US, Latin America, and the Caribbean converge and depart in relation to the experience of anti-colonial and decolonizing social movements, many of which continue today. We will also consider the ways that cultural efforts, collectives, art, and intellectual projects shape radical imaginaries of freedom.

Rethinking Continuity and Change in Early Modern and Modern History
In the past decade historians have increasingly questioned the categories used to distinguish the early modern and modern phase in political history. For example, rationality as a feature of modern bureaucracy is now seen as projected onto the governmental process, rather than inherent to it. Furthermore, as the nation state loses its status as a sovereign historical agent, it is instead seen as the subject and outcome of historically variable and contested representations. With this perspective in mind, the Political History PhD Network invites PhD candidates in political history to submit a proposal for its second annual workshop.

Critical Psycholawgy: Dialogue at modern times between legal and psychological sciences
Links between psychology and law rightly raise more and more scientific awareness. The human being, as the common object of this two fields, is studied from both an individual and a social perspective. This stream is an invitation to build an interface and exchange between clinical psychology, cross cultural psychology, justice and law through a critical perspective. This critical approach can be reached with a psychoanalytical lecture of society. This stream is an invitation to an interdisciplinary dialogue to open discussions in a world in perpetual motion. We are looking for papers on those topics: Psychocriminology, Critical Psychology, Psychoanalysis, Post-colonial and Critical historical studies.

Protest in French and Francophone Arts and Culture
Society for French Studies Postgraduate Conference 2016
Protest is an intrinsic part of human culture, which enables subjects to express their dissatisfaction with existing social structures and hegemonic hierarchies of power. Protests have occurred across time periods and contexts, and have taken numerous different forms, ranging from personal expressions of discontent to united movements for revolutionary change. Protests can be individual or collective, personal or political, spontaneous or carefully planned, but they are generally orientated towards destabilising the status quo and establishing new modes of existence. Over the ages, political, social and cultural protests have successfully toppled authoritarian regimes, exposed and confronted dominant imbalances of power, and ameliorated conditions for disenfranchised members of society.

Creating the Europe 1600-1815 Galleries
This conference celebrates the opening of the V&A’s new Europe 1600-1815 Galleries. It will introduce some of the new patterns of living that laid the foundations for our modern world. The papers will be presented according to the three main themes that create a narrative structure for the displays and interpretation in the galleries: first, that, for the first time ever, Europeans systematically explored, exploited, and collected resources from Africa, Asia and the Americas in their art and design; second, that France took over from Italy as leader of fashion and art in the second half of the 17th century; and third, that ways of living came to resemble those we know today.

Call for papers - Representation
Journée des doctorants de la Society for French Studies 2016
Propre à l’activité humaine, la manifestation comme forme de protestation permet aux individus d’exprimer leur mécontentement vis-à-vis des structures sociales et des hiérarchies de pouvoir hégémoniques existantes. Les formes de manifestations varient selon les contextes et périodes, allant de l’expression du mécontentement personnel aux appels aux changements révolutionnaires. L’acte de manifester peut donc être individuel ou collectif, personnel ou politique, spontané ou organisé, mais il est presque toujours orienté vers la déstabilisation du statu quo et vise souvent à proposer de nouvelles façons d’exister. À travers l’histoire, les manifestations, qu’elles soient légales ou non, ont ainsi permis aux peuples de renverser des régimes autoritaires, exposer et confronter des déséquilibres de pouvoir, ou encore d’améliorer les conditions de vie des individus privés de droits sociaux.
