Appropriating, exhibiting, and reconstituting objects and human remains from colonial conquests (late 19th century-present day)

Most major ethnographic museums in Europe hold objects that can be traced back to the wars of conquest and “pacification” of the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries, during what was one of the most violent phases of European colonial expansion. The appropriation of ethnographic artifacts and human remains for the purpose of collection or desecration was a feature of colonial expansion. It has become the focus of a growing field of research. Collecting and accumulating objects took various shapes. Some were looted as war trophies in the violence of combat; others were negotiated in complicated and often uneven hierarchical fashion. This one-day conference will underline the diversity of these processes.

The European Left and the Jewish question

Zionism, anti-semitism and the Arab-Israeli conflict (1789-1989)

The seminar on contemporary history of the Department of social and economic sciences of Sapienza University of Rome will organize a conference that will take place from 13 to 14 December 2018 in Rome titled: “The European Left and the Jewish question: Zionism, anti-Semitism and the Arab-Israeli conflict”. The goal is to explore the relationship between the Left and Jews in the two hundred years’ history of the political left, considering three major themes: the Jewish question as seen by left-wing authors; Anti-Semitism and its representations in left-wing culture; The Arab-Israeli conflict as a node of comparison between the Left and the Jewish question.

War as Contact Zone in the Nineteenth Century

The workshop seeks to encourage further debate on the mechanics of encounter and transfer processes in war during the "long nineteenth century" (1789-1914). It wiil also explore how historians working on this subject can use new digital methods and impact case studies to make their findings accessible to the public. The choice of period is informed by this era’s manifold innovations in such fields as communication, mass transport, weaponry, international law and the conduct of war, which have generated fruitful dialogue on the question whether the nineteenth century set the path for a totalitarianisation of warfare or should instead be evaluated on their own terms.

Immoral Money and War Profiteurs (1870-1945)

Ce colloque se concentre sur les accusations de corruption lancées contre les entreprises qui, dans l’aire européenne, ont réalisé des profits élevés en temps de guerre ou de sorties de guerre, entre le dernier tiers du XIX^e siècle et la première moitié du XX^e siècle. Le poids des guerres comme temps forts historiques se retrouve dans la question des normes publiques. À l’heure où la contradiction potentielle entre gains individuels et intérêt collectif est exacerbée, des sacrifices considérables sont accomplis au nom du salut national et de la collectivité, et le patriotisme est exigé de chacun. Dans le même temps, une dynamique économique particulière voit le jour : les décisions se prennent dans un temps accéléré, les dépenses publiques augmentent de façon considérable, et d’importantes sommes d’argent sont injectées dans le système.

War as contact zone in the nineteenth century

We now know more than ever before about the multilayered webs of entanglement that connect army and society, as well as the way in which soldiers and civilians experience violence. Work in this vein has shown that instead of being an exceptional state, war has been implicated in some of history’s most far-reaching changes, such as the evolution of the modern idea of citizenship.

Music in the wake of war (19th-21st centuries)

Art, propaganda, diplomacy

Troisième volet du projet « Musique et nation », cet atelier explore les recompositions du champ musical et les usages de la musique dans les périodes de sorties de guerre. Les processus de démobilisation culturelle, les musiques de deuil et les commémorations, les reconfigurations esthétiques et institutionnelles, ainsi que les liens entre musique et diplomatie sont au cœur de la réflexion. Cet atelier est organisé en vue de la préparation du colloque « Musique et sorties de guerres (XIX^e-XXI^e siècles) » qui se tiendra à l’Université de Montréal, du 18 au 20 octobre 2018. Des présentations courtes seront suivies d’une discussion collective.
