English journeys past and present, explorations of the condition of England

The conference will address the following hypothesis: the illustration of a certain way of being English, of a specific English way of inhabiting and making sense of the world, were given definition and cultural force through a series of writings which record the impressions of things seen in the course of a journey dedicated to the exploration of a territory, whether the land of England in its national extension or the more local territory of a particular community. The organizers are calling for papers which will examine a corpus of writing proposing a first-person observations of a condition of England at various moments in the history of a territory.

Victorians like us – Domesticity and worldliness

Issue of “Open Cultural Studies”

From novels to government reports, the Victorians attached unprecedented significance to domesticity. The household was a central institution, and their occupants played out their different roles according to custom and circumstance. Within its sphere, gender, class, economic and political conflicts were played out as the household provided the background for important social practices. These practices ranged from the kitchen to the parlour, from the street to the Houses of Parliament, from the colonial metropole to the British colonial outposts in Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

From « Traditional » Games to Digital Games

Since the early 2000’s, the importance of studying digital games has increased to take a significant place in the academic literature dedicated to entertaining phenomena, to such a point that many articles offering to make an inventory of current “game studies” primarily focus on work related to games on this media. In this context, we cannot ignore the fact that work aimed at conceiving and studying digital games is also regularly referred to as reflections on (non-digital) “traditional” games, whether to build their theoretical framework, or to conduct comparative and contrastive studies. According to us, this kind of mutual lighting encourages researchers to examine the peculiarities and complementarities of the two areas, as well as the theoretical interest of connecting or of confronting them. Therefore, in order to analyse the relations established between “traditional” games and digital games, this call is divided into five themes that give a broad overview of the different kinds of possible links. All types of research, fundamental or applied, as well as disciplinary approaches are welcome.

Women and sport in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries

Women's access to sports and physical education is a story made by advances and retreats, punctuated by discrimination, mentalities’ shifts and social achievements. In fact, by the end of 1800, women's participation in sporting events was only looked upon as entertainment, giving particular attention to body and facial postures, and to feminine beauty, setting physical strength, agility and skill of the athletes as second level of importance. The Summer Olympics are a clear illustration of this historical path. The "Women and Sport in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries" conference, organized by the Institute of Contemporary History (Faculty of Social and Human Sciences - Nova University of Lisbon), seeks to analyze, in a critical and integrated way, the history of this journey, watching its multiple dimensions and approaches: social, economic, political, cultural, legal, ethical, organizational, media, medical and gender. This meeting aims to provide a space of discussion, seeking to stimulate and further develop studies in the History of Sports, particularly in the field of History of Women’s Sports.

Football & Europe

To what extend can football be a part of european identity?

Appel à contribution pour le colloque « Y a-t-il un football européen ? » qui se déroulera le vendredi 7 mai 2010 à l'Université Paris Descartes. Quinze ans après l'arrêt Bosman, l'idée d'un « football national » en Europe semble plus que jamais dépassée. Parallèlement à l'ouverture des frontières, la suppression des quotas de joueurs en provenance de l'Union européenne a modifié considérablement le paysage du football. Des voix se sont même élevées contre cette réglementation accusée d'avoir « tué » les petits championnats et permis aux grands clubs, mieux dotés, d'asseoir leur hégémonie. Par ailleurs, on ne compte plus les exemples de clubs alignant des équipes constituées pour moitié, voire en totalité de joueurs d'origine étrangère, ni les clubs voire les sélections nationales entraînées par des coachs étrangers (Capello en Angleterre...).

La culture aérienne. Objets, imaginaire, pratiques de l'aéronautique, XVIIIe-XXe siècle

Aeronautical Culture. Artifacts, Imagination, and the Practice of Aeronautics.18th-20th Century

L’approche de l’histoire de l’aéronautique proposée ici est celle de problématiques transversales sur la longue durée. Des premiers ballons en 1783 aux transports de masse de nos jours, la culture aérienne a imprimé sa marque au monde moderne. Loin d’opposer aérostation et aviation, il s’agit de s’interroger sur cette culture aérienne en prenant en considération les temps longs et parfois superposés des savoirs, des représentations, des réceptions et des pratiques variées qui traversent le champ des techniques. Le vol libre des ballons nourrit tout au long du XIXe siècle de nouveaux imaginaires et trace l’horizon de conquêtes possibles que l’avion et le dirigeable revivifient et rendent réalisables. La première guerre mondiale génère des industries aéronautiques, y compris civiles ; le transport de masse, des entreprises et des infrastructures, des flux de voyageurs et de marchandises, le nouveau visage des échanges mondiaux. Loin de se réduire à l’héroïsme des pionniers, ces problématiques permettent d’aborder un ensemble de questions nouant l’histoire des techniques et l’histoire culturelle.
