Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) bicentenary conference
Le parcours et l'œuvre de Friedrich Engels demeurent encore souvent dans l'ombre de Karl Marx. L'ambition de ce colloque pluridisciplinaire, organisé les 30 novembre et 1er décembre 2020 à l'université de Strasbourg à l'occasion du bicentenaire de sa naissance, est de rompre avec les idées reçues sur Engels en mobilisant les acquis de la recherche récente en sciences humaines et sociales, afin de projeter sur sa vie et ses travaux une lumière nouvelle.

For a Caribbean critique of political economics
Cette journée d’étude se propose de relancer le débat sur les rapports entre capitalisme et esclavage, initié par Eric Williams en 1944, en adoptant une approche croisée entre les Caraïbes « britannique » et « française » et en élargissant la perspective aux transformations des modes et rapports de production, des formes de travail et de résistance, après les abolitions jusqu’à l’ère néolibérale dans laquelle nous vivons. Il s’agit d’encourager le développement d’une critique de l’économie politique qui reste le parent pauvre des études contemporaines sur la Caraïbe dans le monde francophone.

Beyond games: Tinkering and creative appropriation of video games
Fifth edition of the Game History Annual Symposium
The symposium focuses on the personal and oral histories of fandom and hobbyist designers, their preoccupations, practices, and political economies. We are not only interested in the manifestations and history of these scenes, but also in how fandom themselves participate in the creation and distribution of historical discourse about the objects of their affection. Thus, we invite members of collecting and creating communities to participate with scholars in two days of conversation and events.

Wars, hope, despair and peace in History
The causes of violence and wars is a traditional theme of controversy. Some old philosophers, like Maurras or von Moltke, see war as a divine law. Others, like Plato, think that it results from human passions or that it constitutes a biological necessity (Nietzsche, Malthus). Still others attribute it to nationalism fueled by despotism. For Marxists, conflict comes from the clash of economic forces. Scholars, philosophers, and moralists debate whether aggression is a constant factor in human nature, an innate or acquired character.

State-building, social movements and political economy
Modernity was marked by the edification of increasingly complex and sophisticated state system, committed to governing territories and populations, through a multiplicity of administrative, fiscal, police and judicial networks. At the same time, new mechanisms for legitimizing political power emerged, based on the building of a public sphere and the dissemination of different forms of collective organization and mobilization: from associations to petitions, from political demonstrations to strikes and riots. Finally, a new regime of production and consumption was created in the form of a Political Economy directed to the creation of markets, the movement of goods and the accumulation of capital.

Myths, memories and economies: Post-socialist transformations incComparison
9th genealogies of memory conference
The conference organisers invite presentations on economy and memory, in particular, but not limited to the context of post-socialist economic transformations in East-Central Europe, as well as their interactions with parallel economic processes in other parts of the world. They may be based on a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, including history, sociology, anthropology, economics, literary and film studies, and others. While the focal point for most economic transformations in question is the 1990s, we invite speakers to address these changes in the context of their longer histories with attention to the genealogy of shifts in economic thought through the 20th century and related memory processes.
