  The Many Faces of Slavery: non-traditional slave experiences in the Atlantic World

  By the 18^th century, racial slavery had matured into a fully-fledged, firmly established, profitable form of labour in the Atlantic World. In slave societies, the development of the plantation unit led both to the geographical concentration of the slave population and to a growing homogenization of the activities bondsmen performed. However, throughout the Atlantic World, the existence of phenomena such as urban slavery, slave self-hiring, quasi-free or nominal slaves, domestic slave concubines, slave vendors, slave sailors, slave preachers, slave overseers, and many other types of “societies with slaves,” broadens our traditional conception of slavery by complicating the slave experience. This conference does not aim to challenge the significance of the plantation system, but, by using it as a paradigm, seeks to assess the extent and nature of non-traditional forms of slavery in the context of the historical evolution of labour in the Atlantic World.

  Histories of Forgetting in the French- and English-speaking Worlds, 19th-21st centuries

  Ce colloque propose d'examiner le rapport paradoxal entre l’histoire et l'oubli pour explorer, dans une perspective civilisationniste et comparatiste, les lacunes dans la mémoire collective et les épisodes occultés, perdus ou écartés du récit historique : ces « histoires oubliées » susceptibles de définir la communauté nationale, locale ou diasporique tout autant que l'histoire officielle ou les hauts lieux de mémoire. Comment rendre compte de la persistance de certains souvenirs collectifs et des silences qui entourent d'autres ? L’objectif est d’analyser les processus et mécanismes qui conduisent vers la perte du passé, la non-inscription ou transmission de la mémoire communicative, voire sa suppression, et d'étudier les formes de l'oubli afin de sonder leurs enjeux historiographiques et politiques.
