Private Wars: legitimacy, finance and the social contract
A conference on the public/private boundary in warfare
The outsourcing of much military labour – to the private sector, and to other publics – has a long-standing historical basis that raises serious questions about the relationship between war, the state and society. Yet, were the boundaries between public and private ever clear? If the global wars of the twentieth century were "total" for some belligerents, what of the millions who served for other kings, other countries and other empires prior to the emergence of the nation state? While much military history and military sociology has been written in national frames, did these frames ever adequately explain the nature of war? What of the private and supranational armies who played such important roles in the making of the modern world?

Economic history and its models / Economists and history
Depuis quatre années, le séminaire histoire-économie, soutenu par quatre laboratoires lyonnais (CIHAM, HiSoMA, LARHRA, Triangle), a tenté de jeter des ponts entre ces disciplines en ne prenant ni la forme d’un « impérialisme de l’économie » ni d’une pure historicisation des systèmes de production et d’échange. Deux journées d’études vont clore cette tentative, en privilégiant une réflexion sur l’usage des modèles. Ce mot est entendu ici dans un sens assez large qui ne recoupe pas l’usage précis qu’en font les économistes. Ainsi, la démarche idéal-typique fondée par Max Weber peut être considérée, ici, comme un travail de modélisation. Ces journées d’études reposent également sur la conviction que le recours au temps long et à des aires chrono-culturelles multiples, depuis l’Antiquité et le Moyen Âge jusqu’aux temps modernes et contemporains, favorise la diversité des approches et le décloisonnement des analyses.

Craftsmen and metalworking in medieval cities: thirty five years later
The symposium Craftsmen and Metalworking in Medieval Cities: 35 Years Later addresses the metallurgies of iron, copper, tin, lead and precious metals, which produced a wide variety of objects necessary for urban life at the end of the Middle Ages. The nature, volume and possible standardization of production may be studied, as well as the needs of the city, the practices and techniques of craftsmen, their knowledge and know-how. The relationships between the crafts and between the craftsmen themselves might be examined, including dependency links, pluriactivity, networks of sociability or local relationships in urban areas. The identity and regulation of these crafts, their integration into urban society, their relationship with the surrounding rural areas and with other cities may also be revisited.

Francoism, its image and policies of influence in France (1936-1975)
Cette journée d’étude entend interroger la politique d’influence du régime franquiste en France de la guerre civile jusqu’à la fin du régime, en 1975. Il s’agit de s’intéresser à la construction de son image publique destinée à traverser la frontière pyrénéenne et à sa réception sur le sol français. Si les évolutions internes du régime franquiste (guerre civile, premier et second franquisme) ont joué un rôle déterminant dans sa politique menée en France, les évolutions sur le territoire français ont joué un rôle tout aussi important. C’est ce phénomène d’interdépendance, ce jeu de miroir entre France et Espagne, que cette journée d’étude souhaite mettre en lumière.

The social and cooperative economy: what history?
Dynamics, methods and perspectives for the history of the social and cooperative economy
L'objectif de ce colloque est de penser une histoire globale de l'économie sociale et solidaire (ESS), tout en mettant en valeur ses spécificités, sources et méthodes. Il invite à revisiter l'histoire de l'économie sociale et solidaire (ESS) à travers deux axes thématiques principaux : la place de l'ESS dans l'historiographie et le rôle de ses études dans l'articulation des théories d'économie politique aux pratiques sociales ; Les liens entre l'ESS et les institutions politiques, syndicales et religieuses qui oscillent entre conflits, reconnaissance et banalisation.

From fiscal justice to social justice
2nd day of social and economic ethics at Laval University
L’inquiétude largement partagée eu égard à la croissance des inégalités appelle à une correction de la situation, et la fiscalité représente l’outil principal dont disposent les sociétés démocratiques pour y parvenir. Ce colloque vise à explorer les possibilités qu’offrent les différents instruments de la politique fiscale pour répondre aux défis actuels de la justice sociale. À cette fin, le colloque invite les contributions qui portent sur ces instruments, leurs modalités et leur faisabilité. Cela peut concerner l’impôt progressif, ses justifications et ses réformes, les débats autour de l’impôt sur les successions, la nécessité ou la réalisabilité d’un impôt sur le capital, ou porter encore sur toute autre forme d’impôt sur la richesse, inédite ou non.

Conference, symposium - Africa
11th-17th centuries
This symposium will take stock of the theoretical ambition of this programme, relative to the disciplinary tools available to us today, to disclose, to distinguish and above all to ponder the historical connections established. If the plants, epidemics, commercial goods or written materials are proof of often-forgotten connections, they inform us only indirectly on the intensity and consequences of these economic, political and cultural connections for the societies of Southern, Eastern or Western Africa. Starting from this observation, the historians, archaeologists, linguists, and philologists involved in this release will reflect on multidisciplinary models that go beyond the observation of a connection and switch towards a more integrative concept of “route,” understood, in the broader sense, as a connection in progress. I this respect, the third and final objective of this symposium will stimulate further reflection on the routes that crisscrossed medieval Africa, and the practices, mobilities, and representations that they created.

Craftsmen and metalworking in medieval cities: 35 years later
In honour of Professor Paul Benoit
The symposium addresses themetallurgies of iron, copper, tin, lead and precious metals, which produced a wide variety of objects necessary for urban life at the end of the Middle Ages. The nature, volume and possible standardization of production may be studied, as well as the needs of the city, the practices and techniques of craftsmen, their knowledge and know-how. The relationships between the crafts and between the craftsmen themselves might be examined, including dependency links, pluriactivity, networks of sociability or local relationships in urban areas. The identity and regulation of these crafts, their integration into urban society, their relationship with the surrounding rural areas and with other cities may also be revisited. The symposium will be interdisciplinary in nature, promoting dialogue between historians, archaeologists and archaeometry, without excluding anthropological approaches to learning and knowledge
