Conference, symposium - History

Music and nation, 1918-1945, Europe and the Americas (II)

Music, nationalism and transnationalism - diplomacy, politics and aesthetics

Ce colloque constitue la deuxième étape du programme de recherche « Musique et nation dans l’entre-deux-guerres - Europe-Amériques ». Il fait suite à la journée d’études « Musique et nation dans l’entre-deux-guerres » qui s’est tenue le 10 décembre 2015 à Paris. Y sera développée une réflexion sur la mobilisation de la musique par des acteurs publics ou privés dans des contextes locaux, nationaux et internationaux. Trois axes seront privilégiés : les usages de la musique dans la diplomatie culturelle ; la musique dans les commémorations et les répertoires à dimension commémorative et la place des imaginaires nationaux et nationalistes dans le discours sur la musique.

How to face the challenges of an increasing world population ant the preservation of agrobiodiversity

The joint challenges of food safety and conservation of agrobiodiversity are making us rethink the issue of agricultural production. We have to produce more, but especially better in order to sustain biological diversity, mitigate climate change and adapt to it. This prospect urgently calls for the development of a sustainable crop production system that relies less on natural resources (soils, wateraquifer), fertilizers and protection products. There are probably many ways to address these challenges, and it is undisputed that science and technology have a major role to play in this respect.

The Allied Occupation of Germany Revisited

New Research on the Western Zones of Occupation, 1945-1949

The Allied occupation of Western Germany after the Second World War has recently seen a revival of interest among historians. This two-day international conference will showcase new research from scholars based across the globe and provide a forum for the presentation of innovative approaches to the history of the three western zones of occupation. It also aims to stimulate dialogue between historians of the different zones of occupation and so bring together hitherto almost entirely segregated historiographies.

The Rule of Crisis

Crisis Legislation, Emergencies and the Rule of Law

After recent terrorist attacks, French political institutions have been undergoing legislative and constitutional amendments that are part of a specific legal category which could well be termed “crisis laws”. While these laws often share the vocabulary of a “state of exception”, engaging its political and philosophical references, they must yet be distinguished from it. Whereas a “state of exception” interrupts the rule of law in principle, the laws adopted in several countries following terrorist attacks have melded the state of exception into the legal framework. The rule of law is no longer interrupted: the rule of law is modified and the exception becomes the rule. The focus of this conference, which will adopt a comparative point of view, is to question this transformation, not necessarily with the aim to evaluate it, but in order to think it through while drawing attention to the inadaptability of traditional legal and philosophical categories in a new/changing political world.
