The calendar for the humanities and social sciences

Lyon

Hospital, city and citizenship - experiences past and present

Souvent premiers employeurs des villes où ils sont installés, objets de débats politiques et de mobilisations citoyennes, en particulier au moment des regroupements, fusions et désaffectations d’établissements, les hôpitaux sont au centre de la vie économique, sociale et politique des cités. L’objet de ce colloque est de mettre en évidence l’ancienneté de l’emprise urbaine des hôpitaux dans la ville, mais aussi du lien entre ces espaces de soin et d’assistance et les sociétés urbaines.

Women in the public space, 1800-1939

Great Britain, Ireland, Empire and Commonwealth

“The Angel in the House” is the image most commonly retained of British women in the nineteenth century. This reductive and repressive ideal, emerging from values propagated by the literary, religious, medical political discourses of the time, still persists today in the collective unconscious. Although this model has increasingly been questioned by researchers in the humanities, the focus has tended to be on the beginning of the 20th century. This one-day conference aims to pursue this still neglected area, bringing the Victorian and Edwardian woman further out of her “cloister” or “sphere”, and exploring the destinies of those women who occupied the public space in Great Britain, Ireland and, by extension, the Empire: activists, explorers, artists, writers and sportswomen to name but a few.

Formal and informal networks of migrant women and men in settlement process (14th-19th centuries)

Panel at the European Social Science History Conference (ESSHC)

This panel aims to study settlement patterns of migrants, according to a gendered approach. It aims to bring together scholars working on migration and settlement dynamics, by focusing on the extension and quality of relationships that newcomers could develop in the new environment and by highlighting differences between men and women. In addition it aims to investigate how these ties influenced, successfully or not, their settlement process: the daily life, the research of a job or a house, the access to credit networks, to poor relief or to other urban resources etc...

Lived religion and everyday life through early modern catholic hagiographic material

Rome

Call for papers - Religion

We invite abstracts for contributions on the subject from scholars working with early modern (ca. 15th–18th centuries) hagiographic material, such as beatification and canonisation processes, other miracle accounts, art, vitae, and other spiritual (auto)biographies. The aim is to produce a high-quality collection of articles, which offers cutting-edge and fruitful insights into early modern social and cultural history, using hagiographic texts and art as sources. We especially welcome contributions, which have a sensitive approach to gender, age, health and social status.

The massacre of Pya-Hodo in Kabiye, North Togo, 60 years later

Kara

Call for papers - Africa

The lessons of a past that isn't passing

À travers le prétexte de la répression coloniale de Pya-Hodo (au Nord-Togo) du 21 juin 1957, ce colloque veut revisiter la problématique des luttes anticoloniales en mettant en exergue les traumatismes causés par les répressions au sein des populations victimes. Ce sera également l’occasion de questionner la notion de « passés qui ne passent pas », tant les souvenirs demeurent encore vifs au sein des communautés qui ont enduré le martyr. Il s’agira aussi d’analyser de pareils cas dans d’autres espaces, que ce soit dans les territoires français, britanniques ou autres. Enfin, il sera question d’interroger la façon dont sont gérés les États africains, plus de cinquante ans après les indépendances.
