Care in foreign climes in the 19th century (Europe, Atlantic and colonial worlds)

Le XIXe siècle, temps d'invention des Etats-nations en Europe et des réformes des législations sur l'enseignement et l'exercice de la médecine fait figure d'époque relativement favoravle à la circulation des étudiants en médecine et des praticiens. S'intéresser aux mobilités interroge tant l'évolution des savoirs médicaux et les attentes qu'ils véhiculent que le rapport aux institutions nationales de formation. Il implique d'éclairer les choix etudiants et les modalités de diplomation des non-nationaix dans les universités. Ce mouvement interroge aussi les attendus politiques qui encadrent l'exercice médical, la construction des exclusivités nationales et la manières dont les médecins étrangers composent (ou pas) avec ces règlementations, les formes de leur exercice dans leurs pays d'installation. Au delà, le mouvement des médecins s'inscrit dans des dynamiques migratoires, notamment européennes, qui peuvent les mener dans plusieurs métropoles et dans les colonies.

Capitals - capital cities in extra-European worlds (18th-20th centuries)

Les villes capitales dans les mondes extra-européens (XVIIIe-XXe siècle)

Cette journée d’étude consacrée aux villes capitales (XVIII-XX^e siècle, mondes extra-européens) est l’occasion pour de jeunes chercheurs (masterants, doctorants et post-doctorants) de participer à une rencontre scientifique et de présenter les aspects les plus novateurs de leurs recherches. On s'interrogera principalement sur les critères, les manifestations ainsi que sur les régimes de capitalité des villes en contexte colonial et post-colonial. Si la littérature abonde sur les têtes d'empire (Paris, Londres), en revanche, peu d'études sont consacrées aux capitales extra-européennes.

Actors, practices and themes of resistance in the history and memory of contemporary Libya (1835-2011)

The panel will examine the practices and themes of Libyan resistance, defined as the concrete expression of the dialectical tension between the political and institutional centers of power and the social movements, group actors, or individuals that opposed them, covering the chronological span from the Ottoman reconquest in 1835 to the Jamāhīriyya’s fall in 2011.

The logics of the inventory: classifying archives, books, objects (Middle Ages - 19th century)

The conference will investigate all sorts of practices related to any document that can non-restrictivly be regarded as an inventory, catalog, index, etc. Inventories are indeed established and used in particular contexts. Each proposes its own particular classification and order, though not always explicitly, so that any ordering and structuring of archives, books or objects deserves to be considered as an innovative and creative action.

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.

Overseas French periodicals (19th-21st century)

L’objectif du projet PERFROM (Périodiques francophones Outre-Mer - XIX^e-XXI^e siècle) est de constituer un réseau de chercheurs travaillant sur la presse périodique en langue française hors d’Europe, des années 1830 jusqu’à nos jours. Sans privilégier a priori telle ou telle zone, il s’agira de rendre compte de la variété des situations dans le rapport aux métropoles coloniales (France et Belgique), et plus généralement à la culture francophone.

Connecting Mediterranean and Atlantic History

2nd meeting of the Atlantic Italies Network

The Atlantic Italies Network – a developing network of scholars working on economic entanglements and related cultural phenomena that emerged between Italian-speaking territories and the Atlantic world from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century – aims at examining connections related to European states without colonies as well as their links to sub-Saharan Africa and the Americas and at contributing to current attempts to analyse early modern Italian territories in their global contexts. The second meeting of the network will particularly appreciate papers involving economic dimensions related to shipping, trade and economic interconnections, but we welcome all proposals contributing to our overall perspective.

Africa: pasts within pasts

“Afriques. Historical debates, methods and fields” journal

In this special issue, for the journal Afriques. Historical debates, methods and fields,we wish to ask ourselves how ancient societies represented their own past, or at least the past states of societies which came before them. In other words: what perception, collections, inventories, archaeology, denials, or even destructions, did they perform on their previous pasts? Which continuities or breaks did they believe they had perceived? What did they believe their own elders or ancestors had passed on to them? We are seeking papers which specifically explore the relationships between a past which is doubly past, a present which no longer exists, and our own present.

The colonial magistrates at the time of the first colonial empire (around 1500 - 1800): statutes, careers, influences

Cette journée d'étude pluridisciplinaire est consacrée à l'histoire de la magistrature à l'époque du premier empire colonial, dans une perspective d'histoire institutionnelle, judiciaire et d'histoire sociale, dans l'ensemble des colonies européennes de l'époque moderne et au début du XIX^e siècle. Etudier les spécificités des anciennes magistratures coloniales dans leurs statuts, leurs carrières, leurs manières de rendre la justice, leur implication dans le système colonial, leurs liens avec la société coloniale, etc. L'histoire de la colonisation passe par celle de ceux qui ont été des acteurs majeurs de ce complexe phénomène historique. Alors que la société judiciaire du second empire colonial (post 1850) a fait l'objet de travaux approfondis, celle de l'ancien régime colonial mérite d'étre étudiée dans une perspective colonialiste.
