  Avoiding violence, the construction of peace and historical memory

  Un an après l’accord de paix entre le gouvernement colombien et les FARC (Forces armées révolutionnaires de Colombie), ce colloque se propose de croiser des expériences de post-conflit en Colombie, ailleurs en Amérique latine et dans d’autres régions du monde. Il s’intéressera principalement aux processus de paix et à leurs suites, à l’émergence de nouvelles violences, à la question de la justice transitionnelle, aux mouvements sociaux et aux créations culturelles liées à la sortie de la violence, aux relations entre mémoire et histoire.

  Wars and political violence in modern European and American societies (19th-21st century)

  “Amnis” Journal

  Amnis Review seeks to open up a reflection on the synergies that exist between war and political violence – both real and symbolic – and to ascertain to what extent the two phenomena are interlinked as well as how far they can be regarded as an essential area of research for gaining an understanding of the historical processes at work during a given period. To this end, Amnis proposes a long-term study focused on the contemporary period in order to analyse not only the impact of conflicts, such as the two world wars that left their mark on the 20^th century, but also the consequences of the many civil wars, colonisation wars and the various other types of confrontations that have punctuated the history of European and American societies from the 19^th century to the present.

  The politics and poetics of museology

  40th annual ICOFOM symposium

  It has become rather banal to speak of the museum as a place of power. Whether one refers to it as media, as medium, or as device, we must understand that this institution, emblematic of occidental civilization, has always aroused the interests of local political régimes, whatever they may be. The creation of the British Museum and the birth of the Louvre illustrate the many different ways the public has of seeing the links between knowledge and collections. Furthermore the advent of each new political régime (from democracy in America to the Marxist-Leninist system in the Soviet Union, passing by fascist Italy and national-socialist Germany) marks museums with its imprint, as well as its system of communication, preservation and research.
