  Sociable spaces in the long Eighteenth Century (1650-1850) from present-day perspectives. Europe and its imperial worlds

  This international conference will interrogate the evolution of the long eighteenth-century’s sociable spaces and their persistence in time. Analysing the interaction of sociability and space and the modes of construction of sociable spaces from the modern period to the present day will shed new light on the history of European and imperial societies. The eighteenth century in Europe saw the emergence of new forms of sociability and the creation of new places devoted to sociable practices. By deeply transforming urban centres and by structuring people’s social relationships, those sociable practices became increasingly identified with their spatial features.

  1812 in the Americas

  Une conférence sur la période 1812-1815 est l’occasion de revenir non tant sur l’événement à proprement parler qu’est la guerre entre les États-Unis et le Royaume Uni, bien que l’exploration par un regard neuf des causes et des conséquences du conflit soit la bienvenue, mais d’explorer à cette occasion les grands mouvements à l’œuvre ou en gestation en ce début de XIXe siècle. Ne limitons pas cette date anniversaire à une célébration militaire, mais considérons ces quelques années dans un cadre plus large, intéressons-nous au contexte social, économique, politique et culturel qui sert de toile de fond au conflit armé.
