Innovation and medieval communities in North-West Europe (1200-1500)
Le lien bien établi entre innovation et modernisation suscite de nombreuses interrogations aujourd'hui. Toutefois ce phénomène est loin d’être propre aux sociétés modernes et contemporaines et la fin du Moyen Âge, qui n’a encore jamais fait l’objet d’une étude systématique sur ce sujet, se révèle essentielle pour comprendre les mécanismes humains d’adaptation, mais aussi les enjeux culturels qui facilitent ou bloquent les transitions. Débarrassés de toute perspective téléologique sur l’innovation, la période (XIIIe- début XVIe siècle) et l’espace (Europe du Nord-Ouest) que nous souhaitons placer au cœur de cette rencontre pourront servir de laboratoire d’analyse, afin d’estimer les conditions de réception de l’innovation et les réactions suscitées par l’irruption de la nouveauté.

France, Germany, Africa: representations, transfers, relations
Appréhendé à l’époque coloniale comme le « laboratoire de la modernité » européenne, le continent africain est aujourd’hui partie intégrante de l’histoire et de l’avenir de l’Europe mais aussi du monde. Dans son essai Afrotopia récemment traduit en allemand, l’économiste et écrivain sénégalais Felwine Sarr dénonce le mythe occidental du développement projeté sur les sociétés africaines et appelle à décoloniser les esprits de par et d’autre de la Méditerranée pour permettre aux Afriques de redevenir le « poumon spirituel du monde. » Ce plaidoyer pour un changement de paradigme s’inscrit dans une relation Europe-Afrique à refonder. Partant de ces réflexions, Le XVe colloque du comité franco-allemand des historiens entend interroger cette histoire croisée entre la France, l’Allemagne et le continent africain pour les XIXe et XXe siècles.

Emotional attachment to machines
New ways of relationship-building in Japan
Currently, technologies that foster emotional connections between humans and digital beings are perceived as a threat by many. Because emotional devices are considered to be make-believe systems based on ‘simulation’ (which is often confused with lying, deceit or fraud), emotional technologies could potentially be suspected of affecting human sexual identity or disrupting social bonds. This Symposium will examine the ways in which humans form intimate relationships with ‘emotionally-intelligent entities’ (robots, digital characters, downloadable boyfriend…) and what purposes these relationships to machines serve for them.

Prisons of Russia, Ukraine, France, Germany : Questioning Prison Violence
Almost twenty years after the European Court of Human Rights affirmed the right to decent conditions of detention, has this aspiration for a violence-free sentence succeeded in counteracting operation modes usually described as inherent to prison? Has the European project for common minimum standards succeeded in overcoming national penological conceptions and professional cultures, in other words overcoming the historical inertia of prison? What resistance/adaptation strategies have deployed prison administrations in response to these reform injunctions? In view of these experiences, what are the ways out of prison violence? Can civil society actors force these transformations? In particular, can lawyers help maintaining vigilance? The Seminar is held as part of the European Lawyers' Day and will bring together former detainees, researchers, civil society leaders and lawyers to discuss the issue of prison violence as is manifest in Western (Germany, France) and Eastern former soviet (Russia, Ukraine) European prison systems.

Locating negative affects in post-reform China
This panel takes the prevalence of positivity in post-reform China as an invitation to investigate its opposites: the variety of negative ordinary affects that can be viewed as ensuing from state-induced “situations of restricted agency”. What can we learn from the various forms of negativity that morph out of the socio-political circumstances of post-reform China, and how to tread a fine line between the risk of romanticization and analytical dismissal? Under what conditions do the expression and performance of negative affects constitute “a manifestation of autonomy from state directives” in the context of pervasive “happiness” campaigns? Or is their work ambivalent, if not problematic, especially when they come to be associated with specific marginalized groups?

2020 world conference of public history
Since 2011, International Federation for Public History (IFP)H has been dedicated to building an international and multi-lingual community of public historians working both outside and inside academia. The main role of the Federation is to foster the development of Public History worldwide, creating and coordinating networks and national associations for public history, promoting teaching, research, theoretical inquiry, and other activities that engage the public with the past, history and individual and collective memories. Berlin, which has been called the “Rome of contemporary history,” is an ideal location for a major meeting of public historians from across the globe. Like few other places in the world it offers many different layers of history, that not only still matter and are controversial locally or regionally, but nationally and even internationally.

The protection of cultural heritage in Europe and Rhineland
Franziskus Count Wolff Metternich and the Kunstschutz during the Second World War
Ce colloque traitera de la protection du patrimoine culturel en Europe et en Rhénanie. Franziskus comte Wolff Metternich (1893-1978), conservateur provincial et du Land de Rhénanie entre 1928 et 1950, et directeur du Kunstschutz dans les territoires occupés pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, joue par son activité un rôle important dans la réflexion sur la protection des biens culturels au XXe siècle. Le colloque se propose de présenter les résultats rassemblés par un projet de recherche de trois ans sur les sources du Kunstschutz et sur le réseau de Wolff Metternich, projet implanté au sein du LVR -AFZ (Archivberatungs- und Fortbildungszentrum du Landschaftsverband Rheinland / Centre de conseil et de formation en archives des autorités régionales de Rhénanie).

Emotional attachment to machines
New ways to create ties to Japan
Au Japon, un nombre croissant d’interfaces issues des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TC) sont spécifiquement conçues pour favoriser l'attachement : les robots de compagnie, les épouses holographiques, les petits amis à télécharger et les partenaires en réalité augmentée sont commercialisés à des prix toujours plus attractifs. L’attrait qu’ils exercent est tel qu’une frange non-négligeable de consommateurs affirme préférer ces formes de vie artificielles aux humains de chair et d’os. Ce colloque international et interdisciplinaire s’intéressera à la manière dont l’être humain établit des relations intimes avec des « entités numériques émotionnellement intelligentes » et aux raisons pour lesquelles il s’engage dans une histoire avec elles. L’impact de ces technologies sur les structures traditionnelles de la famille et de la société sera également exploré.

Innovation and medieval communities in north west Europe (1200-1500)
En quoi l’innovation participe-t-elle de la redéfinition des groupes sociaux entre le XIIIe et le XVIe siècle ? Inscrit dans un vaste programme de recherche, dédié à l’étude de l’innovation en contexte à la fin du Moyen Âge, l’objectif de ce premier colloque, dont le but est d’amorcer une collaboration suivie autour de ce thème de recherche, sera donc triple : Observer l’accueil de l’innovation en fonction des communautés étudiées ; repérer des stratégies de diffusion ou de refus, toujours en fonction des différentes communautés retenues ; comprendre le complexe régime de novation et de transformation dans ces sociétés pré-modernes qui, d’un côté réprouvent « la novelleté », et de l’autre répondent à des impératifs de changement.
