Politics, aesthetics and topography in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century city
This two-day conference brings together young researchers to explore the city and its ideologies from a fully interdisciplinary perspective. Persistent Spaces combines approaches from various fields in order to create a dialogue between disciplines and methodologies. This conference also seeks to establish a dialogue between the 18th and the 19th centuries, in turns highlighting the individual specificities of these two periods, and accounting for the echoes, continuities and breaks between them.

Second French-speaking conference on the history of construction
L’activité de la construction convoque des ressources et des compétences de natures très diverses. Elle se trouve largement déterminée par des phénomènes extrêmement variés, chacun généralement étudié séparément au sein de disciplines autonomes. L’histoire de la construction revendique un champ d’investigation qui est spécifique par rapport à ceux de l’histoire de l’architecture, de l’art, des sciences ou des idées ; tout en convoquant les disciplines des ingénieurs, architectes, économistes, juristes, artisans, artistes, philosophes. L’interdisciplinarité, caractéristique et nécessité de l’histoire de la construction, n’est cependant jamais acquise. Elle se nourrit de ces rencontres qui permettent de faire système de points de vue qui, en l’absence de rendez-vous périodiques et réguliers, resteraient singuliers et isolés.

Industrial hazards and accidents (late 17th – late 19th century)
Technological accidents question our industrial society; they are an inherent part of the “risk society” concept that scientists, sociologists, geographers and anthropologists have popularised since the eighties. However, in order to step back and take a longer term view, historicization of the concept is necessary. Although historians have also begun to examine this question, they have focused primarily on the most contemporary period during which spectacular accidents have occurred and have sometimes led to disasters. But industrial (or artisanal or mining) accidents occurred throughout the earlier economic development process in Europe. They went hand in hand with the emergence of the industrial society that they helped to create.
