  Capitals - capital cities in extra-European worlds (18th-20th centuries)

  Les villes capitales dans les mondes extra-européens (XVIIIe-XXe siècle)

  Cette journée d’étude consacrée aux villes capitales (XVIII-XX^e siècle, mondes extra-européens) est l’occasion pour de jeunes chercheurs (masterants, doctorants et post-doctorants) de participer à une rencontre scientifique et de présenter les aspects les plus novateurs de leurs recherches. On s'interrogera principalement sur les critères, les manifestations ainsi que sur les régimes de capitalité des villes en contexte colonial et post-colonial. Si la littérature abonde sur les têtes d'empire (Paris, Londres), en revanche, peu d'études sont consacrées aux capitales extra-européennes.

  Rethinking the History of the Rust Belt since 1945

  This region, stretching from western New York to eastern Iowa, was until the middle of the 20th century the country's manufacturing and industrial heartland. From the Great Migrations that radically transformed its demographics to the weakening of its economic model, as well as the massive struggles waged by local workers and protagonists of the Civil Rights movement, the political and social history of the Rust Bel. By bringing into dialogue the ongoing or recently completed research of doctoral students and junior academics with a view to opening up new perspectives on the history of the Rust Belt, from a range of disciplines (history, sociology, political science, geography), we intend to highlight spaces and actors too often relegated to the margins of this region’s history, despite their having decisively contributed to shaping the contemporary Rust Belt
