    "An Gorta Mór", the Great Irish Famine (1845-1851)

    The Great Irish Famine is recognized today as the most significant event inmodern Irish history. From the first appearance of the potato blight in 1845 to its disappearance in 1849 it is estimated that the country lost about a quarter of its population when a million died and a further million emigrated.The Famine, its causes, its demographic and migratory consequences for Ireland and the world and the (in)action of the British government are all topics which have become major political, historiographical and memorial issues. Interpretations have varied and given rise to lengthy debates between those adopting an anti-British nationalist position and others proposing revisionist versions of these events. Since the 1990s, many historians have followed in the footsteps of Cormac O'Grada and Christine Kinealy and have tried, with varying renewed historical approaches, to remove the Great Irish Famine from the grip of this two-sided vision of events.

    Conference, symposium - Early modern

    How do we globalize the long eighteenth century?

    Quelle globalisation pour le long XVIIIe siècle ?

    Every student of the 17th or 18th century encounters in his or her own way the global historical dimensions of the more or less ‘domestic’ (provincial, national) subject being addressed. For decades, perhaps, many of us ignored these ramifications, which among other things were hard to treat because we are generally hardpressed to bring to such subjects the kind of specialized knowledge we are used to. (There are of course exceptions, involving colleagues who consciously adopt a global approach, e.g. Atlantic studies, though even these are no doubt truncated in different ways.) In all, the global was not an ‘aporia’ of our studies, so much as something more or less difficult to draw into the discussion and, in that sense, an ‘impensé’.

    Seminar - History

    The Empire after the Empire

    Post-Imperial Great Britain

    L’équipe « observatoire de l’aire britannique » (C.R.E.A., Paris Ouest Nanterre la Défense) organise un séminaire consacré à l’exploration des formes de la puissance britannique et de ses réinventions. Le thème retenu pour les années 2013-2015 est « l’Empire après l’Empire ». Ce séminaire s’appuiera sur une définition large de l’Empire britannique qui inclut aussi bien l’Empire formel et ses délimitations légalement établies ainsi que l’Empire informel et le réseau des influences développé par le Royaume-Uni de la fin du dix-neuvième siècle au début de la décolonisation. Il s’agira au fil des interventions de proposer une approche des héritages de l’Empire au Royaume-Uni, des années 1970 à nos jours.
