  Mapping the History of the Bohemian Lands and the First Czechoslovak Republic (1880-1938)

  It seems that in contrast to the contemporary history of former Czechoslovakia, the research on the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries has remained static in the last couple of years. How can the recent historiography on the Bohemian lands be encouraged? Which approaches and research fields emphasizing the mutual relationships between local, national and transnational actors promise new perspectives and interpretations of multiethnic society? The workshop aims at critical discussions of the state of research and of ongoing research projects related to the Bohemian lands and the First Czechoslovak Republic, focusing on comparative or transnational questions in the given period.

  Après le post-communisme

  Dépasser la dichotomie européanisation contre tournant autoritaire

  Une part importante des pays anciennement communistes (hors URSS) fait l'objet de travaux en termes d'européanisation tandis que les ex-républiques soviétiques sont souvent abordées sous l'angle du nationalisme et des régimes autoritaires. Serait-ce là l'essentiel du post-communisme ? Une fatale alternative sans autre issue ? Organisée par les doctorants du programme Russie – CEI de Sciences Po, cette journée d'études vise à dépasser cette opposition. Les axes thématiques retenus sont les suivants : nationalisme, relations internationales, mémoire, personnel politique et mobilisation. La journée d’étude permettra également d'inscrire ces recherches dans les questionnements actuels de la science politique en les confrontant au regard de spécialistes d'autres aires géographiques.

  A Forgotten October? Russia in 1993

  From 21 September to 4 October 1993, Russia experienced a major political crisis. The political confrontation between President Boris Yeltsin and the Parliament ended with the storming of Parliament by the army on 4 October, and the arrests of the rebel deputies and their supporters : more than 150 were dead and 400 injured. October 1993 has been considered as a stage in the regime's derailment from democracy and as forming the matrix of political developments in the country leading to Vladmir Putin. Twenty years after October 1993, this Conference aims to propose a sociological analysis of this crucial but neglected political crisis. To this end, it seeks to question the official version of the event, and will restore the place of alternative accounts and memories. It will analyse the debates on different political models and economic reformes so as to understand the stakes of the conflict as identified by the actors.
