  Rethinking the History of the Rust Belt since 1945

  This region, stretching from western New York to eastern Iowa, was until the middle of the 20th century the country's manufacturing and industrial heartland. From the Great Migrations that radically transformed its demographics to the weakening of its economic model, as well as the massive struggles waged by local workers and protagonists of the Civil Rights movement, the political and social history of the Rust Bel. By bringing into dialogue the ongoing or recently completed research of doctoral students and junior academics with a view to opening up new perspectives on the history of the Rust Belt, from a range of disciplines (history, sociology, political science, geography), we intend to highlight spaces and actors too often relegated to the margins of this region’s history, despite their having decisively contributed to shaping the contemporary Rust Belt

  The army of the city

  Forces in presence, architectures and shared urban spaces (16th-19th centuries)

  À l’articulation de l’histoire de l’architecture et des cultures urbaines civiles et militaires, ce quatrième colloque international du programme « Patrimoine militaire » initié en 2012 vise à renforcer les recherches sur la ville moderne et contemporaine en Europe par l’étude des interactions entre gouvernances militaire et civile, entre armée et populations urbaines dont les rôles et les besoins diffèrent. Il se fonde sur le constat qu’il est aujourd’hui fondamental d’entreprendre la réécriture d’une histoire de la ville et de l’architecture encore dominée par des études essentiellement nourries de corpus documentaires civils.
