Lyon

Conference, symposium - Modern

Policing port cities during the colonial era : Tianjin and Shanghai interaction between Western and Oriental police forces, 1860-1945

Limits of the western police model in China

In the past 20 years, the Research Center on Shanghai History (ECNU) and the Lyon Institute of East Asian Studies (IAO) have established close cooperative relations : joint projects, joint publications, joints conferences, as well as the co-training of graduate students have become significant and regular markers of increasingly close relationships. On this basis we hope to further co-promote Shanghai and Tianjin as centers of new urban history and social order. This project will avail new archival materials (municipalities archives), memoirs of policemen, photography, illustrated journals, correspondances, police reports etc…

Cosmopolitanism revisited

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.

Montpellier

Military orders and territoriality - between the East and West

Entre Orient et Occident

Nous proposons ici, non pas d’envisager une étude exhaustive et globale de la relation des ordres militaires à la territorialité, mais plutôt de réfléchir sur les dimensions qu’elle recouvre, d’essayer de discerner les particularités qui lui sont propres, les caractéristiques des implantations des ordres, variables selon le niveau d’échelle, la zone géographique et la société considérés. Afin de tenir compte de ces spécificités inhérentes au rapport, conscient ou non, que les ordres militaires entretiennent avec les territoires qu’ils occupent (envisagés dans leurs dimensions sociales, humaines, économiques, juridiques, matérielles, culturelles, etc.), même partiellement et pour une durée variable, ainsi que la manière dont leur présence s’inscrit dans ces lieux, plusieurs axes et directions, évidemment liés les uns aux autres et en interaction constante, sont soumis à la réflexion des participants.

Call for papers - Africa

Street signage in urban Africa and Israel/Palestine

Memories, identities, politics

The exhibition will examine street signage in urban Africa and Israel/Palestine as an outcome of dialectic processes, short and long termed, of spatial production and attached imagery and symbolism. That is, beyond being a signifier of a spatial orientation per se.

Sheffield

Conference, symposium - Asia

New research on the History of Chinese gardens and landscapes

Organised by Dr Jan Woudstra in conjunction with the Gardens Trust, the event will look at new discoveries in the field from both professionals and post-graduate students from around the world. Dr Alison Hardie will introduce the conference and outline the importance that Maggie Keswick’s 1978 book The Chinese Garden, History Art and Architecture has played in the subject. It is a unique opportunity to hear speakers from UK and International institutions to present their new research in the field. Talks will cover subjects as wide-ranging as Jesuit water landscapes, gardens as museums, Feng Shui symbolism and botanical watercolours.
