  Power, authority and normativity

  Brussels medieval culture and war conference

  The 2018 edition of the medieval culture and war conference will take place at the Saint-Louis University, Brussels, and will focus on the theme of “Power, Authority and Normativity”. An omnipresent phenomenon, war was a dominant social fact that impacted every aspect of society in the Middle Ages. Moving away from so-called “histoire-bataille” that studied war on its own as an isolated succession of battles, historiography has moved towards investigation of how military conflicts influenced the economic, legal, political, religious, and social spheres in the Middle Ages.

  Legal repression of protests, revolts and resistance in Central Africa

  VIth European Conference on African Studies (2015)

  Having long remained in the shadows, the issues of legal history and colonial justice are now experiencing a revival. For about a decade, researchers of different imperial spaces have placed this issue on their agenda. The panel we propose aims to deepen and explore the role of justice in the policies of Central Africa. More specifically, we wish to highlight the intervention of colonial courts in dealing with disputes, revolts and resistance (open or silent) of the African population. The analysis of the repression of resistance leads to consider the implications of colonial policy on local populations and that of the dynamics of power between the administration, the magistrates and the natives.

  The confiscation and destruction of archives and libraries during the 20th Century

  A la suite du retour de Russie, à la fin du XXe siècle, d'archives françaises qui avaient été saisies une première fois par les nazis, puis par les soviétiques, les historiens ont commencé à étudier plus en profondeur l’étrange périple à travers l’Europe de ces documents et bibliothèques d’administrations publiques, d’associations, de syndicats, de partis politiques et de particuliers souvent juifs. Le moment paraît venu de faire le bilan des recherches effectuées et d’ouvrir de nouveaux champs d’investigation.
