  Conference, symposium - Middle Ages

  Supplying and financing the court

  Economic relations between Iberian courts and urban societies at the end of the Middle Ages

  Ce colloque international organisé les 27-28 novembre 2014 à l'Universitat de València par Alexandra Beauchamp (U. Limoges, EA 4270-CRIHAM), Antoni Furió (U. València), la Casa de Velázquez (EHEHI, Madrid) et l'Universitat de València, se propose d’examiner les relations entre la cour et la cité qui l’héberge, entre les cours royales ou nobiliaires d’une part, et les citadins d’autre part, en terme d’approvisionnement et de financement, dans la Péninsule ibérique, aux deux derniers siècles du Moyen Âge. Il s'agit de mieux cerner les conditions économiques nécessaires pour que la cour puisse s’installer dans une ville, l’impact de la présence des cours sur la vie économique urbaine, la contribution des villes au train de vie fastueux des cours, ainsi que la concurrence ou les antagonismes au niveau économique, si ils existent, entre le monde curial et le monde urbain, ou entre les différentes villes.

  Intermediate Groups in the Portuguese Dominions, 16th-18th century

  Revista de História (Universidade de São Paulo)

  The Revista de História of the University of São Paulo (Brazil) invites interested scholars to submit proposals for articles to be published as part of a ‘dossier’ concerning intermediate groups in the Portuguese dominions on the Early Modern Age. Throughout that period, ‘middle people’ strove to assert themselves in rural areas and helped to shape old and new urban centers in the Portuguese World, corresponding to an increased demand for specialized services and ensuring the necessary extensions of royal representation functions and Church activities. Even though almost non-existent in juridical or normative terms, those groups were recognized both by nationals and foreigners as a complex and vibrant intermediate social layer. Time has come to try and distinguish its specificities, trends of formation and effective roles in social dynamics.

  Urban night-life

  Thinking, feeling and telling nightlife

  The quality of nightlife in European cities has become a real political challenge in recent years. The turning point in the decision of regulating urban temporalities was The General States of the Night in Paris (2010) and in Geneva (2011). New lifestyles, the desynchronisation of social time with individual rhythms, the disruption oftraditional couplework/leisureinself-realizationand competitiveness between governors about urban marketing, explain this new point of view about urban life. Nowadays, how is nocturnal urban space occupied in central areas of large cities, but also in fringes? What does this gradual conquest of urban night-life mean ? How do we speak of everyday acceptanceand massive expansion in access to these nights? How can nightlife be appeased ?

  School and equality: the long march

  Encounter-debates cycle for 2013 / 2014

  Ce n’est pas une nouveauté, l’école de la République a du mal à garantir la réussite de tous. Pour autant la démocratisation scolaire est passée par là et les progrès ne sont pas à occulter. Mais les ressorts inégalitaires et discriminatoires sont puissants, à l’oeuvre, et ont déjà frappé des générations d’élèves et de familles. L'association Approches cultures & territoires (ACT) propose de mettre ces questions et mécanismes en débat tout au long de l’année scolaire 2013 / 2014 à travers différentes projections, conférences et débats dans plusieurs quartiers populaires de Marseille.
