Colonisations, revolutions, and reinventions in early America and the Atlantic World (1492-1848)
The 8th Biannual conference of the European Early American Studies Association invites established scholars, post-doctoral students and graduate students to re-examine the fundamental concept of Atlantic history in light of current research on the themes of colonisations, revolutions, and reinventions, from 1492 to 1848. It is also an opportunity to examine the history of transformations in early America and, broadly, the early modern world, by taking fuller account of scholarship on the politics of primitive globalisation. We will focus on the empires that organised European settlements in disrupting and dislocating native peoples, prompting indigenous cultures to re-invent themselves; but we will also be attentive to the processes that led to the formation of new Euro-American societies in the Americas, often shaped by the enslavement of Africans and other forms of unfree labor. In the North-American colonies, the West Indies, India, Latin America, and Africa, entire peoples and their lands were reinvented by trading companies, individual administrators, theoreticians and executors of empires, as well as by those rare voices, many of whom were abolitionists, who developed a critical approach to European expansion abroad.

Fifth doctoral conference in Russian studies
Organisées tour à tour par différentes universités, les doctoriales en études russes, créées en 2010 à l’initiative de l’Association française des russisants (AFR) et soutenues par elle, ont vocation à rassembler autour d’un thème large doctorants et jeunes chercheurs en études russes, issus de tous les établissements universitaires français. Cette année, nous proposons, pour les doctoriales, le thème fédérateur des limites et frontières. L’enjeu est de réfléchir sur ces constructions sociales nécessaires, mais problématiques et fluctuantes.

Colonisations, revolutions, and reinventions in early America and the Atlantic World 1600-1848

Case-by-case analysis: a method for the comparative law of liberty?
Sous l’impulsion de Laurence Burgorgue-Larsen, Céline Lageot et Jean-Jacques Sueur, un travail collectif a été entrepris devant permettre laréalisation d’un ouvrage en « droit comparé des libertés » dans une perspective transdisciplinaire (droit, histoire, philosophie, sociologie,économie, anthropologie etc.). Un accord s’est dégagé sur l’idée d’un comparatisme à grande échelle, d’un comparatisme ouvert permettant de dépasser les limites étroites du modèle de libertés occidental, voire européen, et sur l’approche par cas.La méthode de l’étude de cas est un gage d’objectivité relative, elle ne préjuge de rien et laisse ouvertes certaines portes, en particulier celle de la transdisciplinarité.

Getting the Houses in Order: agenda-setting, policy-making, and legislating in the House of Lords
Twenty years after the 1999 Reform Act was passed, this one-day conference will study the evolutions and transformations of the legislative and political abilities of the House of Lords in the British parliamentary system. Organised jointly by the MIMMOC (Université de Poitiers) and the CECILLE (Université de Lille), the conference will also adopt a comparative approach and we welcome submissions focused on the upper chambers of different countries.

Re-thinking the Aristocracy in Capetian France, 987-1328
L’aristocratie a longtemps été la pierre angulaire de nombreuses études de la médiévistique française. Les sessions tenues en 2018 à l’International Medieval Congress de Leeds et à la conférence internationale de la Haskins Society ont présenté des recherches sur l’aristocratie française dans la longue durée du royaume capétien, en mettant l’accent sur une analyse nuancée et totale, en contraste avec des discours plus anciens, fragmentées ou simplistes.
