  From professions to corporatism in Brabant cities (Middle Ages - 20th century)

  Van ambachten tot corporatisme in de Brabantse steden (middeleeuwen – 20ste eeuw)

  Le colloque s’intéresse aux conceptions que les corporations de métiers ont propagé jadis, en dehors du champ strictement matériel de leur activité de production. On songe au souci du ‘bien commun’, à la moralité, à la protection des veuves et des orphelins des membres, à la place des confrères pauvres, aux activités dévotionnelles et religieuses, à la transmission de connaissances et à la formation, aux manifestations communau-taires dans l’espace public et à une sociabilité liée au groupe professionnel.

  Progressive Catholicism in Latin America and Europe 1950s–1980s

  Social Movements and Transnational Encounters

  This conference, organized on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of 1968, intends to investigate and cast new light on the transnational transfer of ideas and encounters between religious and secular progressive movements on both sides of the Atlantic during the period ranging from the 1950s to the 1980s. Critically, it wants to assess the role of progressive Catholicism in the broader context of expanding social and cultural relations between Latin America and Europe, and to stress its relevance to other burgeoning research fields, such as the history of “1968”, human rights, transnational activism, and the Cold War. We are seeking to assemble a critical mass of researchers actively engaged with such questions and focusing on networks and encounters to elaborate new answers to the questions associated with these themes.
