Borders Past and Present. Materiality, Practices and Concepts

In recent years, the study of borders and boundaries has attracted the curiosity of scholars from different disciplines and informed a rich and diverse literature. With notable exceptions, most publications on the subject relate however strictly to their sub-field and discipline, paying only fleeting attention to the work produced in neighbouring disciplines. The aim of this workshop is to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from the European University Institute and other European universities and research institutions who study borders and border-related phenomena from different perspectives.

Populism: a historiographic category?

Populism is a category which is often abused in public discourse nowadays. For this reason, it is a category historians will have to face more and more frequently. In spite of this, it is undeniable that the issue is usually looked at from the perspective of political science or cultural studies, clearly dominated by a need for conceptualization and abstraction of the category.

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together scholars from different subject areas –historians, social anthropologists, political scientists and social movement scholars – to reflect in an interdisciplinary and comparative European perspective upon the influence of popular cultures and old repertoires of contention (rough music, mock trials, mock funerals, ride on donkeys, shaving, effigy burning or hanging, etc.) on modern protest.

Le champ juridique européen

Au cours des vingt dernières années, un grand nombre d’ouvrages ont envoyé l’Europe du droit. La plupart ont envisagé les rapports entre la Cour de justice de Luxembourg et ses divers relais économiques et sociaux. Ce récit judiciaro-centré sous-estime néanmoins la variété des « fonctions » qui ont été attribuées au droit et aux juristes dans la construction d’un ordre politique communautaire. L’objet de cette conférence réunissant à l'Institut universitaire européen (Florence) sociologues, politistes, historiens et juristes est de rouvrir ce dossier en croisant une sociologie des élites européennes (milieux juridiques européens mais formation et capital juridique des élites européennes) et une analyse des conflits entre savoirs et savoir-faire (économique, juridique, bureaucratique, etc) du gouvernement de l'Europe.
