The seismography of struggle - critical, cultural journals around the world
Revolution, subversion and emancipation from the 18th century to the present day
Sismographie des luttes est le résultat d’un long processus de recherche conduit à l’Institut national d'histoire de l'art (INHA) dans le cadre du domaine Histoire de l'art mondialisée qui a permis d’inaugurer en 2015 un projet consacré au recensement et à la connaissance des périodiques culturels non-européens à l’échelle mondiale. Le colloque et l’exposition rendent compte de cette recherche. À terme, une base de données dédiée à ces revues sera proposée en accès libre.

The work of Adolphe Alphand (1817-1891) in the context of the Grand Paris project today
Creation and transmission of an urban landscape
À l’heure du développement du Grand Paris mais également de la transformation de la capitale intra-muros et à la lumière des Plans climat et biodiversité, ce colloque revient sur l’œuvre fondatrice d’Adolphe Alphand (1817-1891). Figure majeure, mais encore peu connue de l’urbanisme parisien, Adolphe Alphand a dirigé la création du paysage parisien pendant presque quarante ans, initialement en collaboration avec le préfet Haussmann et ensuite en tant que Directeur général des Travaux de la ville de Paris. Organisé à l’occasion du 200e anniversaire de sa naissance, ce colloque se propose de réunir des historiens, des écologues, des paysagistes-concepteurs, des architectes et des urbanistes afin d'aborder son œuvre, sa réception et son héritage en regard du développement du Grand Paris et des villes du XXIe siècle.

Territories in turmoil - pacified territories
Representations of territories in a state of turmoil and war
Si la guerre tue, la photographie, elle, est douée d’une capacité de sidération. Dans cette mesure, l’une et l’autre suspendent, figent l’instant. Dans leurs procédures, elles s’appliquent à maîtriser, à conquérir, à capturer et entretiennent un lien fondamental avec la mort. Cette journée veillera donc à aborder un large spectre de représentations des territoires confrontés aux guerres passées et actuelles qui s’offrent comme de multiples terrains d’études, qu’investissent très largement les artistes.

The idea of decentralization and regional planning, in the 20th century
Throughout the 20th century, from URSS to the United-States, Germany, Italy and Japan, architects, planners, economists, and politicians have repeatedly proposed decentralization as a way to restructure societies and their spaces—notably in response to political, economic, environmental, social, or cultural crisis. Our purpose is to revisit the concept and projects elaborated during the 20th Century (mainly until the 1970s) We will attempt, with the different papers, to understand the ideals that founded them, the references mobilized, the tools – conceptual as well as practical – they experimented, the influences they could have – or not – on the making of the urbanized world and on a new image of it; we will also explore the transfers from a scientific field to another, from a cultural space to another.

Post-soviet diaspora(s) in Western Europe (1991-2017)
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of former soviet citizens crossed the national borders in search of better lives in new countries, in what was the biggest migration tide since the end of World War II. These Post-Soviet migrants were diverse in origins, strategies and expectations. They often represented a challenge to the orthodox views of migration processes, since in most cases these flows could not be easily described and analysed following commonly accepted theoretical frameworks. Everybody seemed to be on the move: labour migrants, political refugees, cross-border traders, “tourists” planning to forget their return... and in a short period, they spread all over Western Europe.

Modernism and Rurality: Mapping the State of Research (EAHN 2018 - Tallin)
5th European Architectural History Network International Meeting, in Tallinn, June 2018
This session aims to address, from a historical perspective, the relation between, on one side, architecture and the related disciplines, and on the other side, agriculture and rurality at large. We welcome proposals specifically mapping case studies concerned with large-scale agricultural development and/or colonization schemes conceived and (but not necessarily) implemented in Europe and beyond during modern times (late 18th-20th century), strongly connected to nation- and State-building processes, and to the modernization of the countryside. We are particularly interested in those examples which aimed to “make the difference” in both scale and numbers, entailing radical reshaping of previously uninhabited or sparsely populated areas into new, planned, “total” rural landscapes.

Comparative Perspectives on Urban Diversity from the Gulf and Beyond
This conference aims to revisit the notion of cosmopolitanism in Gulf cities and other regional areas from a comparative perspective. It will be a unique opportunity for scholars of the Gulf and other world regions to engage with cosmopolitanism or otherwise probe the intersection of global studies, urban studies and migration studies from a range of disciplines. More specifically, panels will be organized around the following research themes:“cosmopolitan canopy”, cosmopolitanism in theoretical and comparative perspectives, new geographies of cosmopolitanism in Gulf cities.

Writing the native country - the literature of proximity in the European French-speaking space
The literature of proximity in the European French-speaking space (1880-1980)
Ce colloque vise à définir, nommer et mieux comprendre les pratiques littéraires présentant une inscription spatiale et/ou une proximité sociale entre un auteur et ses contemporains. Sans se limiter à l’étude de genres précis (roman, théâtre, poésie, presse…), il s’agira de chercher à comprendre les enjeux littéraires et sociaux que ces pratiques littéraires du proche impliquent.

Border Textures: Interwoven Practices and Discursive Fabrics of Borders
2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
In view of the current political developments in Europe, the scientific study of borders has increasingly gained importance. Cultural Studies has reacted to these developments by generating complex and more and more detailed theories and tools for describing and analyzing border phenomena. Cultural border studies champion approaches which do not examine spatial, material, temporal or cultural aspects in isolation but investigate their intersectional and performative interactions. This panel provides a space for explorative investigation of potential approaches for cultural border studies, focusing on interactions between material and immaterial manifestations of the border.

2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
The societal events of the last decade have challenged Border Studies more than ever before. This can be seen not only in the field’s growing institutionalisation but also in its developments in research: these include the relativization of geopolitical perspectives by cultural studies approaches, the spatialisation of the border concept (e.g. zone, third space, exter/internalisation etc.), the decentralisation of the border in favour of processes (e.g. b/ordering, othering etc.), the pluralisation of the border concept (e.g. walls, differences, (dis)continuities, demarcations) or the complexification of the border (e.g. scapes, textures). The panel is treating these developments and other turns as an opportunity for a long-overdue self-examination, which in the light of the resurgence of borders seems necessary from both a societal and scientific perspective.

The 1960-1970s - administrating asylum in the age of decolonisation and the Cold War
Governing refugees - norms, practices and actors
Cette journée d’études s’inscrit dans la continuité des travaux précédents du Comité d’histoire, notamment la publication : Réfugiés et apatrides. Administrer l’asile en France (1920-1960), sous la direction de Aline Angoustures, Dzovinar Kevonian et Claire Mouradian, Presses Universitaires de Rennes, 2017. Elle prend place dans la série de journées pluridisciplinaires consacrées au gouvernement des réfugiés, c'est-à-dire à la gestion des réfugiés par les acteurs, qu’il s’agisse de l’administration ou d’acteurs privés concourant à la gestion publique de l’asile, dans le cadre français et international. Cette thématique intègre l’analyse des groupes de populations réfugiées et des individus vis-à-vis du parcours migratoire et administratif, en particulier en relation avec les institutions. Les articulations entre normes et pratiques seront aussi analysées dans ce contexte.

Art and research relating to the visible and invisible traces of conflicts - interdisciplinary and inter-artistic approaches to war heritag
This symposium is part of the research project “landscape(s) of the strange. On visible and invisible traces of a regional heritage in transformation. Artistic and theoretical (re)-constructions of a cross-border history marked by major conflicts” started in 2016. To begin with, the project approached the notion of “trace” or “mark” in its material (heritage, architecture, vegetation) and immaterial (memory, culture) dimensions, especially those related to the concrete landscape of Lorraine which bears the mark of a conflictual history opposing Frenchmen and Germans, especially during the two World Wars.

Ce projet de colloque est né de la conviction que le renouvellement des approches sur les classes sociales peut contribuer à améliorer notre compréhension des phénomènes religieux tout comme le religieux est susceptible de constituer une perspective heuristique dans l’analyse de la stratification sociale.

Field philosophy and other experiments
This colloquium will bring together leading and emerging scholars to discuss, share, and analyze what similarities and differences there are between their respective humanities research projects, as conducted in the field, and to experiment with what new field practices might emerge from the humanities. How are field practices in the environmental humanities methodologically different from those in cultural anthropology, geography, or sociology? How might field research in philosophy reshape traditionally text-based disciplinary boundaries?

Space(s) of care, tension and presence
Above all, the call for papers emphasizes the correlation between hospitality and space. Jacques Godbout, in his article "Receiving is to give", specifies that hospitality is a "gift of space". So what are the characteristics of these given spaces? Are they permanent, temporary or transitional? Are there inherent areas of hospitality? And how are they built? From hospitals to home, what are these spaces and what is their spatial nature? And what meaning of hospitality do these spaces convey? What kind of space does hospitality produce?

South Asian Diasporic Cinema: Encounters
The fourth issue of /DESI/ will focus on the question of encounters in diasporic South Asian cinema: Afghanistan, India, Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh Nepal and Sri Lanka. The transformation of this contemporary human condition into filmic material coincides with a turn in the scientific study of diasporas. Forced migrations, which generate a movement of displacement and settlement in home territories, movements of arrivals, caught in a logic of deterritorialization, diasporas – and more particularly South Asian diasporas – are all relocated in transnational and transcultural spaces. Cinema holds a mirror to this experience of movement through this new “ethnoscape” (Appadurai) made up of shifts and disjunctures, free flows and political hurdles, border-crossings and assignment of identity.

"Jews who have disappeared - issues of memory, between discovery and appropriation."
Ce colloque international entend saisir, dans leurs aspects et formes multiples, les dynamiques dialectiques de la mémoire et de l’oubli, sur le temps long, ainsi que les phénomènes de patrimonialisation dans un contexte d’absence des Juifs ou de délitement de la présence juive dans différents pays. Il s’agit ici, dans une perspective comparative, de croiser les regards et les expériences, à partir des différents cas des communautés juives, qui apparaissent ici comme une sorte de « laboratoire » pour comprendre les reconstructions des passés, leur poids dans les formes urbaines, dans les représentations et les historiographies, leurs effets sur la recomposition des frontières entre groupes sociaux et sur l’effritement de certains d’entre eux, sur place ou en exil.

Wine and alcohol during WWI - markets, war economy and production
Marchés, économie de guerre, productions
On approfondit la connaissance de la culture sociétale des alcools, des modes de consommation, des mentalités vis-à-vis de la consommation, que ce soit au sein des institutions et communautés officielles ou que ce soit à la base. On étudie les systèmes productifs locaux et les systèmes productifs par branche, et leur entrecroisement : vins de Bordeaux et de Bourgogne, champagne, cognac, rhum. On scrute l’évolution de la vie quotidienne des régions productives en fonction des aléas de la guerre. On détermine l’évolution des marchés extérieurs. On soupèse le poids de la commande publique et des marchés de l’Intendance, au sein de l’économie mixte de guerre. On précise le rôle des alcools industriels, avec ses effets sur les industries.
