  The key concepts of the Franco-German context

  25 ans après la parution de l'ouvrage de Jacques Leenhardt, Robert Picht : Au jardin des malentendus. Le commerce franco-allemand des idées, il s'agira d’examiner sous un angle nouveau certains concepts-clés essentiels pour la coopération interculturelle entre Français et Allemands et de les soumettre à un questionnement contemporain, en les analysant dans leur contexte socio-culturel et dans l’optique d’une recherche et d’une pratique interculturelles.

  Formation artistique transnationale au XIXe siècle

  Transnationale Künstlerausbildung im 19. Jahrhundert

  L’équipe du projet de recherche ArtTransForm (Technische Universität Berlin / université François-Rabelais Tours, 2010-2015) organise un colloque conclusif sur le phénomène de la formation artistique transnationale au XIX^e siècle. La mobilité des artistes au moment de leur formation joue un rôle crucial dans la construction biographique mais aussi dans le regard posé sur d'autres pratiques, d'autres milieux artistiques et professionnels et d'autres possibilités d'expression personnelle. Elle redessine enfin une géographie artistique différente des écoles nationales habituellement décrites dans les manuels.

  Processus de transmission dans les familles de migrants ou issues de l'immigration

  Regards croisés dans les États de l'Union européenne

  Asking oneself questions on the concept of « transmission » in the field of sociology or history of immigration, one can refer to Max Weber’s observation: “All differences in ‘customs’ can feed a specific feeling of ‘honor’ and ‘dignity’ within those who carry them out. One can forget the original motives that gave birth to diverse lifestyles and the contrasts continue being perpetuated as ‘conventions’.” (Economie et Société, Vol.2, Pocket 1995, p. 128) Nearly a century later, can this observation still be considered as a topical subject? It is exactly this question that the conference offers to verify, summoning around the syntagm “process of transmission” the different disciplinary fields of migratory research.

  War and experiences of European-ness: convergences, transfers and circulations (1900–1950)

  National societies do not function in closed space. The spread of new communication and transport means during the second half of the 19^th century has brought together formerly distant regions of the European continent and created new spaces for economic and information exchanges. This process of convergence provided a basis for a larger "community of Europeans". At the same time, a somewhat contradictory development took place through the strengthening of nationalist ideas and movements leading to the foundation of so-called "nation-states" in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and the intensification of tensions between different ethnic groups and minorities. European societies therefore experienced contradictory changes, both rapprochement on a transnational level and withdrawal to the national space.
