  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.

  1917-2017: Comparative Looks on the Soviet Artistic Avant-Gardes

  The Soviet artistic avant-gardes have been raising a specific interest for a long time. For instance, their multiple practices, their theoretical apparatus, their opuses as well as the influences they exerted have been largely surveyed by the academic world. Ever since the 1990’s a reappraisal of the multiple reuses and reinterpretations of those “avant-gardes” have been carried out. Our international symposium aims to question and put into context that reappraisal and the renewal it induces in the field of scholarly research. The year 2017 as an historical landmark, the centenary of the Russian revolutions, offers a conducive environment for such reflections and thoughts. While evocating various and contradictory narratives, this centenary leads to rethink the vast array of meanings embodied by the revolutionary events as well as to shed a new light on the opuses they produced or lived through.

  Austria and Hungary in the period 1866-1918

  An exceptional contribution to the legal protection of human rights

  En 2016-2017 l’Autriche et la Hongrie fêtent le 150^e anniversaire du compromis constitutionnel de 1866-67. La Constitution adoptée à l’époque a créé un cadre pour un développement rapide de la monarchie constitutionnelle et la construction de l’État de droit. Les premières cours modernes pour la protection des droits fondamentaux (Reichsgericht, Verwaltungsgerichtshof) ont été créées. Vienne et Budapest se sont alors retrouvées dans une situation exceptionnelle. Pour rendre hommage à tous ceux qui ont contribué à cet essor exceptionnel du droit moderne, il est proposé d’organiser un colloque pluridisciplinaire (droit public, histoire du droit, théorie du droit, droit comparé, droits de l’Homme) à Strasbourg.

  The peripheries of the European revolutionary process(es) 1917–1923

  International conference to be held in Florence, Italy, in October 2017 on the impact of the Russian Revolution on non-conventional, non-Social Democratic groups (anarchists, nationalists, feminists, republicans, etc.) that were also shaken by the events of 1917 and often played an important role in the birth of the international communist movement, but which have tended to fall out of the purview of the historiography, which has traditionally focused on the splits in the big socialist parties and on the German, Austrian, and Hungarian revolutions.

  Acts of justice, public events: World War II criminals on trial

  The conference suggests approaching trials of war crimes and of crimes against humanity, which took place in the aftermath of World War II and its following decades, as specific social events. By including professional and social actors (magistrates and police force, whistle-blowers, witnesses, defendants...) who got involved and shaped audiences of such trials, the conference endeavours to question the notion of publicization. It will cross this perspective with a study of the part played by the media supports in the organization and in the public reception of these trials.

  War without weapons - refugees and prisoners on the Austro-Italian front (1915-1918)

  Réfugiés et prisonniers du front austro-italien (1915-1918)

  Ce colloque est le deuxième d’un programme de recherches sur la guerre austro-italienne qui a donné lieu à une conférence à Padoue (19-21 mai 2016) intitulée « Soldats et quotidien de guerre sur l’Isonzo ». Le second volet de ce programme est consacré aux aspects proprement austro-italiens des expériences des populations désarmées, et plus spécifiquement par une réflexion autour de trois catégories : les prisonniers, les réfugiés et les populations civiles à proximité des zones de front. Le colloque propose d’articuler dans une perspective bilatérale les expériences de ces trois catégories de population autour de la mise en perspective des enjeux aussi bien publics que privés, locaux aussi bien que régionaux ou nationaux.

  Benelux: Europe and the Cold War

  The Power of non-powers and perspectives on the economic, social and political aspects of European Security Strategy in the early Cold War

  What are the historical roots of views of European defense and Europe's role in Western defence? How did the early European Integration movement perceive American involvement in the development of a common security strategy? This conference will investigate these and other related questions by re-examining the early cold war US/European relationship and the role that early Cold War period developments played in the European Integration Movement. In so doing, this conference will also showcase findings which can contribute to the unification of Cold War and European Integration historiographies.
