  Gendering Humanitarian Knowledge

  Global Histories of Compassion from the Mid-Nineteenth Century to the Present

  The conference invites scholars to think about the notion of "humanitarian knowledge" in a multidisciplinary way, by combining perspectives such as gender history, the histories ofemotions and the body, literary and visual culture studies, global health history, as well as the history of institutions and their agents. All of them are useful to explore the transnational networks through which humanitarian practices and ideas have been promoted, disseminated and standardised.The conference brings together scholars interested in working on the history of humanitarian knowledge from a gender perspective. The interventions deal with stories of flesh and blood, which put women’s and men’s humanitarian experiences at their centre, in order to inscribe their local practices within a global history of compassion from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.

  Being free - "Histoire et cité" festival

  Festival « Histoire et cité »

  Pour sa troisième édition, Histoire et cité a choisi d’explorer le thème « Être libre ». Des luttes de libérations nationales à la révolte des esclaves, la liberté est un combat. Elle a notamment mobilisé les femmes pour conquérir leurs droits civiques et continue de les inspirer pour échapper aux carcans du patriarcat. Par ailleurs, notre programme réserve une place particulière aux mouvements de 1968, cinquante ans après. De Spartacus à Martin Luther King, du reggae à l’indépendance de la presse, de l’exode biblique aux séries TV, goûtez à la liberté !
