6th Colloquium on Crime and Criminal Justice in Early Modern and Modern Times
The colloquium provides an open forum for discussion, debate and the presentation of PhD-, postdocand other research projects related to the history of crime and justice in the early modern and modernperiod. It aims for an interdisciplinary exchange between scholars of a wide range of subjects suchas history, legal history, sociology, anthropology, ethnology, humanities, political science and others. Core issues that will be addressed are various forms of crime and delinquency, law and normativity, criminal prosecution and justice, punishment and social control as well as sources and methodicalapproaches. We also invite contributions of scholars who would like to enter into a dialogue with researchers from the field of crime and criminal justice even though the mentioned topics would onlyconstitute a part of the respective projects. The colloquium focuses on elites in a political, economic, social or cultural context, their role inthe administration of justice and the legal system as well as specific forms of deviance and delinquency of such groups.

Acts of justice, public events: World War II criminals on trial
The conference suggests approaching trials of war crimes and of crimes against humanity, which took place in the aftermath of World War II and its following decades, as specific social events. By including professional and social actors (magistrates and police force, whistle-blowers, witnesses, defendants...) who got involved and shaped audiences of such trials, the conference endeavours to question the notion of publicization. It will cross this perspective with a study of the part played by the media supports in the organization and in the public reception of these trials.

Class, Gender and Peacebuilding in Peru (1961-2014)
Según el historiador Franklin Pease, ‘hacer una historia de la subversión en el Perú con elemental seriedad, requiere disponer de información confiable, casi nunca al alcance del investigador’. Trabajar sobre grupos alzados en armas que se organizaron en el marco de la 'lucha de clases' desde los años 1960, es tarea difícil en la medida en que significa trabajar sobre la clandestinidad. Nombrar, investigar o repensar a grupos como el ‘Partido Comunista del Perú-Sendero Luminoso’ (PCP-SL) y el Movimiento Revolucionario Tupac Amaru (MRTA) supone un peligro para el investigador: ser llamado ‘terrorista’ es común en un medio donde el discurso oficial y el discurso académico han confluido para dar una versión única. Maritza Felices-Luna y Anouk Guiné los invita a someter un capitulo para el libro colectivo que sigue el coloquio internacional « Clase, Género y Construccion de la Paz en el Peru (1961-2014) » que se llevo a cabo en Ayacucho (Peru) en julio 2014.

Call for papers - Representation
L’efficacité policière est devenue un enjeu politique et électoral majeur dans les démocraties en proie à l’inquiétude sécuritaire. Placées sous l’œil attentif des médias, les autorités policière et politique, soucieuses de faire la preuve de leur capacité à assurer le maintien de l’ordre, se retrouvent au cœur d’une logique d’image et d’enjeux de communication permanents. L’objectif de ce colloque est de contribuer à renouveler la réflexion sur les relations entre les sphères policière et médiatique. -

Internment, Incarceration and Detention
Captivation histories in Europe around the First and Second World War
On 3 and 4 November the NIOD, Institute for for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies will organize a workshop in Amsterdam (The Netherlands) on "Internment, Incarceration and Detention. Captivation histories in Western Europe around the First and Second World War". The workshop seeks to explore the historical practice of incarcerating enemies of the (former) regime, the changes that occur in the existing penal system by doing so, the emergence of new types of correctional institutions and their practical implementation in imprisonment cultures. Different types of prisons should be considered, the most important being: the regular prisons, internment camps and different types of concentration camps (not the extermination camps). -

E.A. CLIMAS (Université Michel de Montaigne-Bordeaux 3)
Si la déviance est un comportement qui échappe aux règles admises par la société, pour parler de déviance, il faut que soient réunis trois éléments : existence d'une norme, transgression de cette norme et stigmatisation de cette transgression (« The deviant is one to whom that label has successfully been applied », Becker). L'origine de la déviance n'est donc pas à chercher dans la nature profonde de l’individu, mais bien plutôt dans son « rôle social », lequel détermine son identité (Mead, Berger). La déviance s’inscrit dans une dialectique dont le pôle opposé est forcément la norme qu’elle enfreint. Partant le déviant est celui qui, par consensus communautaire, est affublé d’une étiquette (« labeling theory » ou « théorie interactionniste de la déviance »), véritable « stigmate social » (Goffman).
