  Gender Dynamics and Practices in Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape Architecture

  In France, as in several other countries, the professions of architect, urban planner and landscape architect have crossed a historic threshold in terms of feminization. However, numerical parity does not mean men and women have equal professional opportunities: numerous demands of feminist associations remain unsatisfied. They note the persistence of many professional inequalities: in terms of income, in terms of financial control and job insecurity, in terms of visibility, and in terms of recognition. This call for papers aims to gather contributions for an assessment of the gains and limits of feminization and gender dynamics at work in the professional worlds of architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture in France, fifty years after the "massive" entry of women into architecture schools in 1968.

  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.

  The contemporary practices of oral history

  Maintenance to oral archives

  Face au dynamisme de l’oral history à l’international, les pratiques historiennes de l’entretien font, aujourd’hui encore, l’objet de relativement peu de discussions dans le paysage universitaire français. Un nombre croissant de travaux historiens associent pourtant une démarche d’enquête orale à l’exploitation des archives écrites. Aussi, si les causes des premières réticences françaises vis-à-vis de la source orale sont connues, c’est désormais la question de l’invisibilisation d’une « histoire orale à la française », pourtant bien active, qui pose davantage question. Cette conférence propose donc de mettre au cœur de la discussion le rapport des historiens aux entretiens et plus généralement au terrain. Elle vise à mettre en partage et à confronter des approches plurielles de la constitution et de l’analyse de la source orale, et à dégager les dynamiques nouvelles qui émergent dans ce champ.

  Call for papers - America

  Appraisals and perspectives in French-American historiography

  Pour une institution comme la Revue d’histoire de l’Amérique française, l’heure des bilans sonne de manière récurrente. Quels sont les questionnements, les objets, les méthodes, les orientations et les sensibilités qui ont animé et qui animent actuellement l’historiographie ? Tout en se moulant à cette vaste interrogation, les textes de ce numéro thématique doivent porter sur des figures, des œuvres, des thématiques, des espaces réels ou imaginaires, des interprétations ou des tendances reliées à l’historiographie de l’Amérique française, toutes périodes confondues.

  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
