  Third International Student Symposium on the History of Crime

  The International Symposium on the History of Crime is a forum for international university students to explore the understanding of issues surrounding the history of crime. The annual symposium was created to bring together doctoral, masters, and undergraduate students as well as early career academics in a friendly academic environment that facilitates discussion around history of crime issues. This Third edition will be attended by students and academics from the USA, UK and France. The symposium is deliberately broad in reach and we make every effort to draw together wide and diverse topics in order that contributors feel encouraged to participate and present their research in-progress as well as engaging and informative short papers.

  Police and Public Order in France and England (1750-1850)

  Perspectives from current historiography

  Traditional historiography has often opposed the French police model to its English counterpart. However, for twenty years, many researchers relativized the differences of these models and focused more on the interactions between cultures of social control. Recent studies have shown the limits of approaches focused on the only national police models as well as the importance of the circulation of police knowledge and technics in the late 18th century and early 19th century. Everywhere in Europe, this period is marked by the will to reform and by reflections on the procedures for the exercise of the police. Through a panel of international researchers, the conference aims to investigate beyond the national perspective by questioning the permanence and changes in police practices on both sides of the Channel. We will ultimately highlight the major trends of contemporary historiography and identify new paths of work.

  Representing Animals in Britain

  La question de la ou des représentation(s) des animaux dans les îles Britanniques évoque d’emblée plusieurs éléments majeurs de la tradition et de l'histoire récente du pays : les gravures de Hogarth en 1751, la création de la Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals en 1824, les écrits de Locke, de Bentham sur le statut de l’animal, les travaux de Darwin sur les espèces, ou encore le débat contemporain sur l’expérimentation animale ou l’élevage intensif. Il semble que les Britanniques aient accordé une grande place aux animaux dans leurs arts, leur pensée, leurs loisirs, leurs sciences, et leur vie quotidienne. Cependant, l’idée que nos voisins d’outre-Manche aiment beaucoup les animaux révèle-elle quelque chose de profond dans la culture de ce pays, ou bien n'est-elle qu'un cliché que les Britanniques se plaisent à colporter ? C’est à cette question que nous souhaiterions répondre.

  South Asian Culture "à la barre"

  Word of experts in transnational case-law

  « South Asian Culture à la barre » est la première réunion d’une section du projet ANR « JUST-INDIA » (http://www.just-india.net) consacrée aux conflits de droit dans les cas judiciaires transnationaux. Les participants à la journée examineront comment les tribunaux de différents pays s’approprient la notion de culture lorsqu’ils sont amenés à se prononcer dans des cas impliquant des ressortissants d’Asie du Sud, et quel est le rôle de cette notion dans les procédures judiciaires correspondantes. Les exposés et les discussions seront en anglais.
