History, archives and psychiatry
What perspectives for Belgium?
Cette journée, organisée le 16 mai 2014, vise à souligner l’importance d’un questionnement commun et public sur l’histoire de la psychiatrie et sur le sort à réserver aux archives du secteur de la santé mentale. Concrètement il s’agit, d’une part, d’établir un « panorama » des recherches en cours en histoire de la psychiatrie en Belgique et, d’autre part, de poser la question délicate du traitement des archives des institutions psychiatriques en Belgique. Ces deux objectifs ont une résonance particulière à l’heure où l’histoire de la psychiatrie connait un renouveau incontestable et où les questions de protection de la vie privée et du secret médical, aussi légitimes soient-elles, tendent à primer sur la liberté de la recherche.

Conference, symposium - Religion
Ancient christianity and cults around pagan mysteries in the work of Franz Cumont (1868-1947) and in research history
Ce colloque, qui aura lieu du 13 au 15 septembre à Gand, est centré sur la manière dont l'historien des religions belge Franz Cumont et ses contemporains ont conçu la relation entre le christianisme ancien et les cultes à mystères païens. Il s’agira d’une étude large du thème historiographique, incluant aussi ses prédécesseurs et les recherches récentes. Le colloque s’adresse aux spécialistes d’historiographie des religions antiques des XIXe et XXe siècles. Il sera l’occasion de discuter amplement des idées avancées par les diverses traditions historiographiques, méthodologiquement et géographiquement déterminées.

Even if human scientists and business executives like to argue otherwise, the human sciences have always been in-corporated. Without them, the modern business corporation would simply have been unimaginable, just as the production and consumption of working bodies within these corporations. ‘The Firm’ continues to frame itself as a fundamental human enterprise, in which the prominence of human ressources and human relations only continues to increase, yet the humanities of the business corporation largely remain to be written.

Call for papers - Science studies
Early Christianity and the pagan mystery cults in the work of Franz Cumont (1868-1947) and in the history of scholarship
Cumont was a pioneer of the scientific study of the oriental religions. Many of his publications (e.g. The Mysteries of Mithras, 1900) fuelled the early 20th century debates about Christianity’s dependence on the pagan cults through the similarities they suggested between these religious traditions. Cumont expressed his opinion only indirectly and ambiguously, but other scholars have been more explicit in demonstrating or denying such influences.The theme of this international conference, hosted by Franz Cumont’s alma mater Ghent University, is the way Cumont and his contemporaries conceived the relationship of Early Christianity to the pagan mystery cults. We will also include predecessors and more recent scholarship on this topic.
