Women in Educated Elites of Pre-Socialist and Early Socialist East Central European Societies

The opening up to modernity of East Central Europe since the late 19th century was marked – among other things – by a triple process generating structural transformations of established post-feudal societies and affecting often radically the status of women. Due to post-feudal conditions of competition for social standing, positions of influence and prestige, hitherto unknown forms of inequalities appeared in the very process of accumulation of political, economic, professional, cultural an educational assets henceforth necessary for the access to the elites. Female professionals, though they could rarely achieve advanced careers in the ruling elites in the old regime, so much so that they often encountered even various forms of public rejection and discrimination on intellectual markets, significantly participated in the framing of the way of life of the new middle class. This workshop will adopt a gender-focused perspective cocentrating on the place of women (training, education, professions) and bringing to light the differences and inequalities existing between male and female members of educated elites.

The daily life and experiences of African students in the USSR and Russia

Avec les indépendances et la décolonisation, des étudiants africains sont venus très nombreux en URSS ; mais moins souvent en Russie après la Perestroïka. Quelle a été l’histoire de ces étudiants partis se former, non pas dans l’ancien pays colonisateur, comme cela était souvent le cas, mais dans un pays étranger envers lequel ils étaient souvent partagés entre admiration et méfiance ? Comment y sont-ils arrivés ? Quelles ont été alors leurs expériences ? Qu’est-ce qui les a marqués ? Quel a été leur devenir professionnel et politique ?

A Forgotten October? Russia in 1993

From 21 September to 4 October 1993, Russia experienced a major political crisis. The political confrontation between President Boris Yeltsin and the Parliament ended with the storming of Parliament by the army on 4 October, and the arrests of the rebel deputies and their supporters : more than 150 were dead and 400 injured. October 1993 has been considered as a stage in the regime's derailment from democracy and as forming the matrix of political developments in the country leading to Vladmir Putin. Twenty years after October 1993, this Conference aims to propose a sociological analysis of this crucial but neglected political crisis. To this end, it seeks to question the official version of the event, and will restore the place of alternative accounts and memories. It will analyse the debates on different political models and economic reformes so as to understand the stakes of the conflict as identified by the actors.
