Final Conference of the ValEUR research project
The conference addresses the role, effects and meanings of values at the crossroads of politics, culture, market and law. It documents the circulation and shaping of values between the different spheres of the European multi-level governance (local, national, supranational, transnational). It investigates the EU as a container of values politics as well as its interactions with external entities (Council of Europe, UN, rest of the world). A secondary purpose is to map the research using values as an exploratory framework of wider transformations of politics, policies and polities in Europe. Leaders of scientific projects having developed such agendas in recent years figure among the contributors.

Europe and Europeanness exposed to plural observers (9th Edition)
The 9th International Conference ‘Europe Inside-Out: Europe and Europeanness Exposed to Plural Observers’ aims exactly to refresh a broader approach and understanding of Europe by enlarging the platform of regular conferences and workshops for a wider arena of participants and disciplinary backgrounds in order to put on stage a worldwide monadology for such concerns. The conference aims also to enable critical alternatives to the disciplinary orthodoxies by creating a framework for interaction and dissemination of diversity that has to become once more a European trademark.

The Price of Peace: Modernising the Ancien Régime?
Europe 1815-1848
In many historiographic traditions, the so-called "Restoration" has been depicted as an awkward interval between the Napoleonic Wars and the age of nationalism. This international conference has the ambition of breaking down old myths and stereotypes about the ‘Restoration’ in order to think more broadly and openly about the key transitions and issues. The conference will revolve around the provocative historiographical issue of whether the post-Napoleonic order represented an attempt to reconcile the heritage of the Ancien Régime with a deeply transformed world. Topics explored by panels of invited experts from across Europe will include Rethinking the "Restoration", New departures in international relations, Constitutions vs. Charters, Rebirth of composite monarchies, Before and Beyond the Nation, Historicising the Ancien Régime?, New borders and old identities.

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.

SARI, as a group involved in research on the cultures of the Commonwealth, proposes to bring out an electronic and free access publication that will aim at studying representations of decolonization with particular attention paid (but not exclusively) to visual images (engravings, cartoons, painting, photographs, cinema, TV serials) in a crosscultural and multidisciplinary perspective with a view to throwing a different light on the subject. / La SARI (Société d'activités et de recherches sur le monde indien) en tant que groupe impliqué dans la recherche sur les cultures du Commonwealth envisage une publication électronique en libre accès qui étudiera les représentations de la décolonisation avec une attention particulière accordée (mais pas exclusivement) aux images visuelles (gravures, dessins, peintures, photographies, cinéma, séries télé) dans une perspective interculturelle et pluridisciplinaire afin d'éclairer le thème sous un autre angle.

Interactions et transferts entre la France et les îles Britanniques, 1640-1660
Ce colloque international rassemble des spécialistes français, britanniques, irlandais et américains sur la question des liens unissant la France et les îles Britanniques entre 1640 et 1660. Cette période troublée dans les trois royaumes britanniques vit la mise en place de nouveaux systèmes de gouvernements, parfois avec l'aide de la France, et coïncide avec le début du règne de Louis XIV et le triomphe de l'absolutisme en France. Ce colloque propose d'étudier les échanges, interactions et représentations croisées alors à l'oeuvre. -

Le nationalisme dans les pays anglophones
Nationalism In the English-speaking World
Colloque international du CRESAB (Université de Nancy 2)Le nationalisme est un domaine particulièrement sujet à controverse. Il se peut que cette absence de consensus s'explique en partie par le fait que des théoriciens ont souvent tenté d'appliquer des modèles basés sur des contextes précis d'une manière universelle. Ce colloque vise à examiner cette hypothèse en étudiant l'application de divers modèles théoriques à divers contextes nationaux du monde anglophone.
