  The Vulnerability and Marginality of Youth in the Mediterranean Basin (19th-20th centuries)

  French Journal for the History of “Unconventional” Childhood

  The Revue d’histoire de l’enfance “irrégulière” (the French Journal for the History of “Unconventional” Childhood) will devote its next issue to the different perceptions and management policies focused on irregular or marginal youth in the countries of the Mediterranean basin (i.e. the northern coast of the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Mashriq and the Maghreb) throughout the 19^th and 20^th centuries. Specifically, we expect that the study of the public policies adopted by the countries of the region to deal with their youth will put the hypothesis of the unity and singularity of the Mediterranean to the test: either it will allow some sort of shared approach to emerge or, on the contrary, it will expose the Mediterranean as a cultural and ideological construct.

  Tribute to Marthe Bibesco

  Ce colloque est, tout d’abord, un hommage à la complexe personnalité de Marthe Bibesco. Nous envisageons de focaliser deux de ses traits identitaires, la féminité débordante, de même que ses multiples formes de manifestation, et la mobilité concrétisée / exercée dans ses nombreux voyages faits tout le long de sa vie. Au-delà des données biographiques inédites, nous sommes intéressés par l’exemplarité du destin de Marthe Bibesco. Dans ce sens, nous voulons investiguer le profil de la femme intellectuelle, écrivaine, dynamique, mondaine, voyageuse.

  Co-Ethnics as Unwanted Others

  Intra-Group Tensions After the Fall of Communism: Causes, Consequences, and Contexts

  Much has been written about the intricacies of acceptance and integration of immigrants who are racial, ethnic and/or confessional ‘others’ in relation to host populations. There are many examples of co-ethnics’ interaction which are overtly or latently accompanied by intra-group conflict, tension and misunderstanding, but academic coverage of co-ethnics’ encounters is far less ‘mature’ in terms of conceptualization, and literature devoted to these issues is far less abundant. The pattern of peoples' interaction being studied is usually a result of various kinds of population movement provoked by serious socio-political cataclysms in the 20^th and 21^st centuries, including the collapse of multi-national states and the intensification of labor migration resulting from post-socialist economic transformation. Our aim is to bring together international scholars who could present results of their latest research on these topics, preferably from a comparative and/or micro-level perspective.
