  Conference, symposium - Early modern

  Race and Class in Britain and America, 17th-19th centuries

  This conference will question how developing discourses of race came to structure the societies of Britain and America in the early modern period. It hopes to explore the way discourses of race and class interacted with each other, and how the vocabulary of social strata overlapped with the language of race. How were the bodies and minds of the upper ranks considered to differ from those of other people during these periods? How important indeed was the idea of the physical body in rank distinction, and how did this square with the notions of pure blood that underpinned both “race” and hereditary privilege? In what ways were some groups “naturally” privileged or “naturally” excluded? Were social minorities like indigents or women marginalized or stigmatized similarly to Africans or Native Americans?

  Conference, symposium - America

  Black dolls, material culture and Afro-American resistance and representations (1840-1940)

  Ce colloque trans-disciplinaire a pour point de départ la collection Neff de poupées noires en tissu faites main, vraisemblablement par des Africaines-Américaines entre 1840 et 1940, et d’un ensemble de photographies de la même période montrant des enfants américains avec leurs poupées. Il se propose d’analyser, de documenter et de questionner un jouet qui malgré son universalité et son importance considérable dans la formation de l’enfant voire d’une société, reste un sujet d’étude très minoritaire.

  Creating the child audience: media and the invention of modern American childhood in the late XIXth and XIXth centuries

  "Transatlantica" special issue

  This Transatlantica issue sets out to examine how, in the process of creating new audiences for its products, child-centric media crafted a homogenizing vision of childhood especially compatible with media consumption. As a result, in the course of the late XIX^th and XX^th centuries, media has made itself the vehicle of adult norms and expectations about children’s tastes, behaviors and development – be it to pander to existing tastes and behaviors or shape them to ideal standards, some civic-minded (with emphasis on social adjustment, character building, or good citizenship), some commercial, and others both at once.
