  Figures and actors of the Swiss scandal (18th-20th century)

  Moments d’épreuve par la médiation desquels une collectivité teste ses normes et ses valeurs, l’affaire et le scandale, pour rythmer l’histoire des sociétés contemporaines, ont jusqu’à des temps récents très peu retenu l’attention des disciplines historiques. Ce colloque portera sur les formes, les fonctions et les effets du scandale et de l’affaire.

  Democracy and Technology. Europe in Tension from the 19th to the 21st century

  Public debate, social media demonstrations, participative assessment, technocracy and transparency: these are just some of the issues on the growing list of multiple and evolving interactions between technology and democracy in Europe since the middle of the 19^th Century. The sixth Tensions of Europe conference aims historicizing and exploring these complicated links in long-term perspective. It will address key contemporary issues such as the democratization of technology and the vulnerabilities of technological democracies. The conference will close the ANR funded project « Large technical networks and democracy: innovations, practices and interested parties in long-term perspective, from 1880 to the present day ». The conference will also feature the official presentation of the Making Europe book series, more than 40 panels, and of course the traditional untraditional Tensions events – this time in Parisian style!

  Africa / Ifrîqiya and the central Mediterranean from Antiquity to the Middle Ages: exchanges and contacts

  Si l’histoire de l’Africa et de l’Ifriqiya doit être replacée dans un contexte méditerranéen plus vaste, il est souvent utile de varier les échelles. Ainsi, en portant le regard au plus près, il s’agira de se pencher davantage sur la Méditerranée centrale afin d’y lire et réinterpréter des relations de voisinage souvent intenses entre les régions qui composent cette dernière (Grèce, Italie, Sicile, Sardaigne, Egypte, Maghreb central) et l’Africa / l’Ifriqiya. Les récentes années ont vu l’étude de ces échanges et contacts renouvelée et leurs chronologies révisées dans le sens d’une précocité et d’une densité majeures. Au-delà des constructions politiques distinctes, les relations entre ces différents espaces qui sont documentées par les sources écrites et archéologiques n’ont cessé d’évoluer de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge.

  Democracy and Technology, Europe in Tension from the 19th to the 21st Century

  Sixth Plenary Conference of Tensions of Europe

  This conference will be devoted to the complex relationship between democracy and technology from a European and transnational perspective. The core of this reflection will be the complementarities and cross-fertilization that arise in the interaction of technology and democracy, but also the frictions, tensions, and paradoxes that emerge in the discourses, representations and interplay of actors. This historical conference is open to a wide range of interdisciplinary inquiry. It invites proposals for papers addressing an issue that up to now has mainly been investigated on a national basis. Focusing on circulations and appropriations of technology in a European and transnational perspective, the conference should open new ways to think and talk about the history of Europe.
