  Insularities and enclaves in colonial and post-colonial circumstances

  Crossings, conflicts and identitarian constructions (15th - 21st centuries)

  Historically, archipelagos were considered as rehearsal spaces for new social constructions. Since colonization and, afterwards, colonialism and imperialism, many of them evolved in association with the strengthening of international networks, while others did not escape isolation and forced unequal integration in different spaces. On the other hand, enclaves were the outcome of historical circumstances, often externally decided, which prompted some degree of insularity regarding the immediate geographical surroundings. When those territories did not become independent, there were demands for autonomy or, at least, some underlying emancipatory and anti-colonialist feelings. Even when these feelings did not mobilize relevant segments of the population, they disclose the alterity – above all cultural – in regard to sovereignty.

  The spread and heritage of the Enlightenment between thought and political action

  Figures of public space and the representation of the other

  Dans quelle mesure les Lumières doivent-elles être diffusées vers les couches sociales les moins riches et les moins instruites ? Dans quelle mesure le fait de les diffuser change-t-il leur définition même ? Ainsi s'engage, au tournant du XIX^e siècle, le débat qui contribue à faire des Lumières, dans les deux siècles qui suivent, un héritage multiple et complexe, qu'il est possible d'analyser au prisme des tensions entre pensée et action, idées et réalités, théorie et pratique ou encore forme de gouvernement (Regierungsform) et manière de gouverner (Regierungsart).
