  Factories on the banks of the Seine

  Territories of the second Industrial Revolution of the 20th and 21st centuries

  La basse vallée de la Seine, comme bien d’autres espaces similaires, en France ou dans le reste du monde, est marquée à partir de la première guerre mondiale par une vague d’industrialisation d’un nouveau type : le « tournant taylorien » (Patrick Fridenson), qui bouleverse les systèmes productifs à plusieurs échelles, jetant les bases de la « Seconde Révolution industrielle ». L’histoire de cette mutation est au centre des questions que ce colloque vise à explorer. Ces questions n’appartiennent pas qu’au passé mais conduisent jusqu’à nos jours. Les propositions de contribution pourront aussi bien avoir une approche historique que patrimoniale.

  Rock and Violence in Europe (1950's-1980's)

  This event is the first of two conferences, the second of which will take place in 2019 under the sponsorship of the History department at California State University, Long Beach. The first component, at Rouen, concentrates on Europe, while the second part, on the same theme, will focus on the situation in the Americas. The purpose of these two events is to gain an understanding of the place of rock in contemporary culture and to define its significance and impact in our societies. From this starting point, the conferences will also endeavor to consider the part of legend that encompasses the myth of rock music. The association between rock and violence, however fantastical and artificially constructed, is a given which has penetrated the music's history during the second part of the twentieth century; in some ways, the recent dramatic events at the Bataclan have highlighted this in an extremely tragic manner.
