  To reconcile and to reincorporate

  Discourse, ceremonies and practices in and beyond the Iberic Monarchies

  In recent years historiography has been slowly acknowledging the potential of civil societies to restore concord after profound divisions. It also has uncovered the pacification strategies of authorities to reconcile and reincorporate individuals and social groups after periods of contestation and revolt. These complex processes are crucial to better understand the history of the Iberic monarchies, which have been able to develop a long-term government despite many crises of different origin and outlook. Hence, this conference will be focused on the themes of reconciliation and reincorporation from following four perspectives: Words, discourses and emotions (semantics and sentiments), Negotiating reconciliation (promotors and strategies), Making reconciliation work (agents and mediators, processes and forms), In the margin of reconciliations (the undecided and excluded)

How to build together a common heritage? How not to entrust the task to professionals only delegates this function, but also to take collective action that allow more widespread involvement? This question arises differently in each museum.

  Les travailleurs chinois dans la première guerre mondiale

  Pendant la première guerre mondiale, la France et l’Angleterre, manquant de main-d’œuvre en raison de la mobilisation et des victimes de la guerre, ont recruté 140 000 volontaires chinois. La majorité des travailleurs chinois se trouvaient massés à proximité du front, pour des tâches de manutention dans le Nord-Pas-de-Calais et la Somme, mais aussi après-guerre pour participer à la reconstruction. Le CLC ont aussi participé aux efforts de reconstruction d’Ypres après guerre. Nous organisons, au cœur d’un territoire associé à ces événements historiques, un colloque international interdisciplinaire qui est aussi le premier colloque organisé en Europe sur les travailleurs chinois de la Grande guerre. Il rassemblera des spécialistes de différentes disciplines : sinologie, histoire, interculturel, science politique.
