A Political History of Public Debts (Europe and the United States, since the Late Eighteenth Century)
This is call for papers for a symposium to be held in Paris in June 2013. Its main theme is a political history of public debts since the end of the eighteenth century. Organized as a workshop, this symposium aims to explore the public debt as the locus for political debates and conflicts. Our goal is to bring together various case studies, using different approaches, but all analyzing aspects of the link between politics (especially in its social or participative dimensions) and the indebtedness of states. This should help shed new light on such central concepts for our understanding of the modern political world as sovereignty, citizenship, democracy, and solidarity. -

Reassessing Anglo-Saxonism and Anglobalisation
Les relations anglo-américaines sont abordées le plus souvent dans le cadre de l’histoire des relations internationales et de la diplomatie. Nous proposons de les étudier plutôt à travers l’histoire de projets internationaux, qu’ils relèvent du commerce et des affaires ou qu’ils poursuivent des objectifs politiques ou réformateurs au sens large. -

Contestation and Participation in the English-speaking World
The dissent and uprisings that spread through the Arab world during the Spring of 2011 occurred almost a quarter of a century after the fall of East European political régimes that saw the rise of "democracy" modeled on the Anglo-American representative system. This specific context which has come to characterize the past quarter of century calls for a renewed analysis of the models these political systems represent and of the processes that triggered them and led to their long-term establishment in the UK and the US.Since the 1990s, as a response to the story of the inevitable emergence of democracy in the aftermath of the Cold War, researchers on North American politics have provided an alternative reading of events: that of a "contested democracy". -

St. Louis, Senegal, and New Orleans
The Comparative and Linked History of Two Port Cities on Each Side of the Atlantic, 17th to 21st Centuries
Fondées respectivement en 1659 et en 1718 à proximité de l’embouchure des fleuves Sénégal et Mississippi, Saint-Louis et La Nouvelle-Orléans sont deux villes importantes du monde atlantique, de la diaspora africaine et de l’empire français du XVIIe au XXe siècle. Elles partagent une histoire commune autour de la traite, de l’esclavage, de la colonisation française et de leurs héritages. Il existe ainsi de nombreuses connections et résonances entre l’histoire de ces deux cités portuaires. Bien qu’elles occupent chacune une place singulière au Sénégal, aux États-Unis et au sein de la francophonie, Saint-Louis et La Nouvelle-Orléans n’ont pourtant jamais été étudiées dans une perspective d’histoire comparée et croisée sur la longue durée. -

World War 2 : History, Art and Memory
The session will be divided into three complementary sections with the aim of exploring in an original manner a historical moment—the Second World War—that is crucial for the understanding of the contemporary world. The first part of the course will be devoted to the study of Franco-American relations during the war, providing us the opportunity to revisit well-known political and military events from the perspective of American press coverage. The second part of the course will examine the war through the official War Artists' scheme launched in 1939. The third and final part of the course will approach the memory of the Second World War through films that have played a crucial role in shaping our memory of this event, from 1945 to the present day.
