  Russian Jewellery Art of the 19th and Early 20th Centuries in a Global Context

  With one of the largest collections of Russian jewelry art in the world, Fabergé Museum in St. Petersburg considers it its duty to study the topic from all angles and in a broad historical and cultural context. We hope to include in our conference contributions from art historians and critics, museum and archive professionals, collectors, and jewelers. In the period from the early 19th to the early 20th centuries, Russian jewelry art tread the path from the Empire style to Art Nouveau, saw the appearance of a constellation of brilliant jewelers both Russian and foreign, got itself noticed at World’s Fairs, contributed to the revival of old jewelry techniques, and began to be collected by both connoisseurs and museums.

  The pursuit of industrial activity in war zones

  Le Musée du verre de Charleroi (Belgique) et l'Amaverre (France) co-organisent un colloque européen transfrontalier ayant pour thématique principale la poursuite de l'activité industrielle en zones occupées durant le premier conflit mondial, thématique dont l'intérêt réside dans la possibilité d'éclairer d'un nouveau jour, un siècle plus tard, ce qui s'est réellement passé en industrie, loin des discours très orientés d'après-guerre.

  European Space Agency's Space History Conference

  There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

  Strategies and recognition techniques in the field of design and the decorative arts

  Dans le domaine de la recherche, la question d’un design à la fois comme champ disciplinaire et sujet à interroger, se pose avec acuité. Malgré l’engouement dont il fait l’objet au quotidien, le design – et les domaines rattachés industrie, industrie d’art, artisanat entre autres – reste encore très largement à identifier, explorer et qualifier. La notion est encore difficile à cerner et demande toujours à être définie tant sur le plan historique, esthétique ou encore économique et sociologique. C’est le sens du colloque Stratégies et dispositifs de reconnaissance dans le champ du design et des arts décoratifs.

  Placing cultural sustainability within the perspective of technological history

  Evolution and practices from the 20th-21st centuries

  Cette journée d'étude a pour but de voir comment l'idée de soutenabilité culturelle a été intégrée dans les pratiques / actions de la mise en valeur du patrimoine au niveau international, national et local entre le XX^e et le XXI^e siècles. Pour nous distinguer des travaux déjà réalisés sur la question, il nous est paru intéressant plutôt que chercher à donner une définition de la soutenabilité culturelle, d’interpréter sa spécificité à travers des cas d'études concrets. On souhaiterait mettre l'accent sur le patrimoine industriel et technique, qui s'avère être témoin des grands progrès et innovations de la société.

  History Review of the technical modernity in France (the twentieth century to the present)

  Critical thinking of modernity has never been more relevant. She also has a history, especially since the late eighteenth century. Its players may have been either movements (1810 Luddites to the Surrealists in the late 1950s, and other movements today) or relatively isolated thinkers, and more involved in writing (sometimes the pamphlet) than in transformative political action. The proposed program focuses on this second category, most misunderstood, but also addresses the first category – in both cases over a period extending from the early twentieth century to today. It puts them into perspective with some excitement speeches of the dominant technical modernity that often they criticize, especially in the period of the 1930s and that of the years 1960-1980.
