Gendered Species: Colette, Gender and Sexual Identities

Espèces genrées : Colette, le genre et les identités sexuées

Although French woman writer Colette was indifferent to and even critical of the feminist movement of the early 1900s, in the way she lived her life as in her fiction, she exemplified financial and social independence and shame-free sexuality, or what would be call today “gender fluidity”. This international conference will show how Colette represents a vibrant and radical expression of feminism in tune with the #MeToo spirit in today's society

The Price of Peace: Modernising the Ancien Régime?

Europe 1815-1848

In many historiographic traditions, the so-called "Restoration" has been depicted as an awkward interval between the Napoleonic Wars and the age of nationalism. This international conference has the ambition of breaking down old myths and stereotypes about the ‘Restoration’ in order to think more broadly and openly about the key transitions and issues. The conference will revolve around the provocative historiographical issue of whether the post-Napoleonic order represented an attempt to reconcile the heritage of the Ancien Régime with a deeply transformed world. Topics explored by panels of invited experts from across Europe will include Rethinking the "Restoration", New departures in international relations, Constitutions vs. Charters, Rebirth of composite monarchies, Before and Beyond the Nation, Historicising the Ancien Régime?, New borders and old identities.

Interactions et transferts entre la France et les îles Britanniques, 1640-1660

Ce colloque international rassemble des spécialistes français, britanniques, irlandais et américains sur la question des liens unissant la France et les îles Britanniques entre 1640 et 1660. Cette période troublée dans les trois royaumes britanniques vit la mise en place de nouveaux systèmes de gouvernements, parfois avec l'aide de la France, et coïncide avec le début du règne de Louis XIV et le triomphe de l'absolutisme en France. Ce colloque propose d'étudier les échanges, interactions et représentations croisées alors à l'oeuvre.
