Delinquency, crimes and repression in History
The question of delinquency, in the most general sense of the term, is particularly complex because criminologists, sociologists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, doctors, lawyers, and historians who have studied this subject extensively have often expressed very different and even contradictory opinions. Difficulties arise as soon as the phenomenon is to be defined. In French law, the word “delinquency” designates all types of offenses. These fall into three categories: transgressions; which constitute very light offenses, crimes which are at an intermediate level, and crimes among including murders, non-premeditated voluntary homicides, and the assassinations, premeditated voluntary homicides. In recent years, in many countries, rape has entered this category of crimes. The Arabic language differentiates between delinquency (“inhiraf”) which designates minor crimes and the crime (“jarima”) which applies to the most serious crimes and offenses.

The South Atlantic route and the business of the maritime transport of migrants (1870-1960)
The objective is to propose a special issue to the Journal of Transatlantic Studies, by contributing for the understanding of the business of emigrant maritime transport from the Belle Epoque until the end of the 1960s. The editors of the special issue (Yvette Santos and Paulo César Gonçalves) accept proposals focused on the study of the migration industry linked to the maritime transportation of emigrants from Europe to the South Atlantic countries.

The exit from war in Danubian Europe: a new era? (1918-1924)
Using the Hungarian case as a springboard, and broadening the perspective to the whole of Danubian Europe, the conference seeks to address the following questions: the new social bonds emerging from the transformation brought about by the Paris Peace Conference; social, intellectual and (or) regional impact of changes, conflicts and international confrontations between 1918 and 1924. The conference aims to rise to the challenge of writing comparative social histories of this historical moment.

The Allied Occupation of Germany Revisited
New Research on the Western Zones of Occupation, 1945-1949
The Allied occupation of Western Germany after the Second World War has recently seen a revival of interest among historians. This two-day international conference will showcase new research from scholars based across the globe and provide a forum for the presentation of innovative approaches to the history of the three western zones of occupation. It also aims to stimulate dialogue between historians of the different zones of occupation and so bring together hitherto almost entirely segregated historiographies.

Occupied Societies in Western Europe: Conflict and Encounter in the 20th Century
The history of Western Europe in the first half of the 20th Century was shaped by numerous contradictions: by conflicts and interdependencies, proximity and distance, violence and co-operation. Many of these elements can be identified in the structures and dynamics of Western European societies under German occupation. After all, the relationship between occupiers and the occupied cannot simply be reduced to "collaboration" and "resistance", in contrast to the suggestions of an older historiography.

Social approaches to eighteenth-century international history
Diplomacy, trade and knowledge as regional phenomena
This call for papers invites scholars with fresh research projects to submit proposals for a workshop on Social approaches to eighteenth-century international history that is to take place at Sciences Po, on April 8, 2016. The workshop aims to confront, share and discuss the fresh claims on eighteenth century international history and its social approaches. We particularly encourage proposals that are able to link different sectors (such as diplomacy, trade and knowledge) and those that deal with the opportunities and limits of such trans-sectorial history. Contributions that handle different academic historiographies and traditions will be strongly privileged as well.

Mons
Festivals in Hainaut at the time of Jacques du Broeucq
The aim of the conference is to bring to widespread public notice a famed series of occasions when, as the hub of Renaissance Europe, the Low Countries commanded the continent’s attention, with Hainaut and its capital Mons featuring as the site of the most famous and influential events. These took place in 1549 when Charles V, Count of Hainaut and Holy Roman Emperor, attempted to determine the continent’s dynastic, political and economic future by nominating as his successor his son Philip of Spain. With this aim in mind, Charles’s sister Mary of Hungary commissioned a series of magnificent festivals, the most lavish of which took place in September of that year at her palaces close to Mons at Binche and Mariemont.

Between Eastern and Southern Europe 1960s-2014
In under two decades, authoritarian political systems collapsed across Europe – in the south of the continent in the 1970s, and then in the east between 1989 and 1991. Although much work has been done on these processes in each region, and comparative work carried out on post-authoritarian transitions and memories, there has yet to be any sustained scholarship that examines the ‘entangledness’ of these processes in the context of broader European and global processes of the late Cold War and its aftermath. Taking a longue durée approach, this conference will explore these inter-relationships between the 1960s and the present day. 2014 marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of state socialism and the 40th anniversary of the beginning of the transition from dictatorship on the Iberian Peninsula and in Greece: an ideal time to consider the relationship between these processes that have been central to modern European history.

Revisiting the Historical Connections between Agriculture, Nutrition, and Development
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in a Global Context
The workshop posits that after 1945, the interconnectedness of questions of nutrition, agriculture and poverty became a central aspect of international governance, and that issues of food and agriculture posed particular challenges to national sovereignty. We thus approach the history of FAO as a history of the ideas and practices of economic and social ‘development’ embedded in local, regional, national, and global contexts and with implications on all these levels. We propose to examine the process by which the FAO facilitated the institutionalisation and globalisation of debates on agricultural production and food security, how it integrated previous international and transnational networks, and how it navigated the tension between agrarian commercialisation and rural welfare during the Cold War and Decolonisation.

Mediterranean Europe in the EU: spaces, cultures, policies and players
Officina della Storia Review
Economic crisis has turned on lights on Mediterranean Europe’s countries and the role-played in the European integration process and as interface between the EU and countries, policies and cultures coming from Mediterranean Area. Moreover, events such the Arab Spring have brought back the idea of Mediterranean as a wide and complex meeting place where cultures, faiths, different political and social experiences meet, and sometimes clash, developing opportunities of dialogue and integration.

Strategies of the Iberian Empires (1800-1936)
Notre intention dans cet atelier est d’analyser les stratégies que les empires ibériques déployèrent au cours du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe siècle pour gouverner les colonies tout en les faisant varier en les adaptant. En pleine époque de l’impérialisme et passé la première guerre d’indépendance coloniale, la métropole espagnole adopta une série de mesures libérales à Cuba et Porto Rico. Peu avant, la création d’un Ministère d’outre-mer en tant qu’organe autonome d’administration mit en évidence l’intérêt renouvelé pour la gestion des territoires coloniaux. La création de partis politiques et l’incorporation des Antilles au système parlementaire métropolitain constituent des changements fondametaux sur lesquels nous devrons nous pencher. -

Forced migrations and youth welfare policies of the 19th and 20th centuries
La plupart des jeunes placés en institution dans le cadre des politiques de protection de l’enfance ont été en réalité déplacés, non seulement dans le but des les éloigner de chez eux, mais aussi en vertu d’une volonté de les enraciner ailleurs. Ainsi, certaines politiques mettent en œuvre un programme raisonné de déplacement massif de populations juvéniles, souvent au-delà des frontières nationales, selon des visées colonisatrices, du fait de conjonctures politiques spécifiques – guerres et changements de régimes, d’utopies pédagogiques et idéologiques, ou de stratégies institutionnelles particulières. Le numéro 14 de la Revue d'histoire de l'enfance « irrégulière » portera sur les politiques migratoires contraintes concernant les jeunes placés en institution dans l'objectif de comprendre comment ces enfants (dé)placés deviennent des enjeux de pouvoir, des acteurs des relations internationales, des sujets politiques sans droits politiques. -
