  Contextualizing bankruptcy

  Publicity, space and time (Europe, 17th to 19th c.)

  Although bankruptcy is a rather exceptional situation in the life of a merchant, it has explanatory power for routines of economic stakeholders. Considering the long, non-uniform and unsteady transition from merchant capitalism to industrial and financial capitalism, we suggest to start a dialog between modernistes and contemporanéistes. The workshop focuses on the various forms of contextualizing business failure and puts forward three major research axes: Covering and uncovering/secrecy and publicity; economic space and area of jurisdiction; temporal narratives of (in)solvency.

  Objects of Exchange. Art and Economic Encounters

  Exchange is classically described by economists as a phenomenon of equalization of values within a given system. When heterogeneous orders of economic rationalities meet, material objects and practices come to embody the paradoxes of dissonant exchange. This symposium aims to explore how artifacts and artistic practices have materialized ruptures within, and encounters between, economic systems in the modern and contemporary period.

  Moving Beyond Paris and London: Influences, Circulation, and Rivalries in Fashion and Textiles between France and England, 1700-1914

  By looking closely at the relationship—at times friendly, at times not—between France and England through fashion and textiles between 1700 and 1914, this conference will touch on a number of topics, including: the circulation (lawful or illicit) of knowledge, individuals, and objects; the diffusion – and cross-fertilization – of design models between the two countries via press, engravings, or fashion dolls; the importation of textiles and clothing; the phenomena of copying, espionage, and counterfeits; the pursuit of protectionist policies which aimed to limit imports from the rival nation.

  Seminar - History

  The economic and social history of the countryside (17th-20th centuries)

  Crisis and change in the European countryside

  Ce séminaire a pour vocation de présenter et de discuter les plus récents développements dans le domaine de l'histoire des campagnes. Il est un lieu de réflexion sur les questions qui intéressent l'histoire de l'agriculture et l'histoire du monde rural, considérées comme des clés d'interprétation et d'explication des sociétés contemporaines, en s'intéressant plus particulièrement aux phénomènes de crises et aux mutations qui ont pu affecter l'économie et la société, que ces mutations aient été facteurs de crises ou que ces crises aient été porteuses de mutations. Une attention particulière est accordée aux problèmes alimentaires, agraires, sociaux ou environnementaux et une large ouverture internationale dans les thématiques abordées est privilégiée.
