Epidemics, History and the Environment: Crossing Academic Boundaries

European Society for Environmental History 10th Biennial Conference (2019)

This panel - epidemics, climate and history – for the European Society for Environmental History 10th Biennial Conference in Tallinn (2019) aims to explore specific climatic/environmental and institutional factors that shaped both the way in which plagues lato sensu and other epidemics, including cholera, yellow fever, typhus, typhoid fever, leprosy, syphilis, etc., originated and spread as well as the consecutive significant demographic and socio-economic consequences at a local or regional scale throughout history (without geographical limitation). A particular attention will be given to original interdisciplinary approaches linking natural proxy archives and written documentary sources.

Modernism, modernisation and the rural landscape

MODSCAPES_conference2018

The impact of the Modern Movement and modernisation processes on rural landscapes in Europe and beyond is a widespread but little known, recognised or understood phenomenon which still exerts effects today. Within the third joint research programme of HERA (Humanities in the European Research Area) dedicated to “The uses of the past” which started in 2016, this subject is now being studied through several lenses within the MODSCAPES project. MODSCAPES welcomes proposals (full sessions, papers, trainnig/workshop) to its mid-event event, an international conference dedicated to Modernism, modernisation and the rural landscape.

Modernism and Rurality: Mapping the State of Research (EAHN 2018 - Tallin)

5th European Architectural History Network International Meeting, in Tallinn, June 2018

This session aims to address, from a historical perspective, the relation between, on one side, architecture and the related disciplines, and on the other side, agriculture and rurality at large. We welcome proposals specifically mapping case studies concerned with large-scale agricultural development and/or colonization schemes conceived and (but not necessarily) implemented in Europe and beyond during modern times (late 18th-20th century), strongly connected to nation- and State-building processes, and to the modernization of the countryside. We are particularly interested in those examples which aimed to “make the difference” in both scale and numbers, entailing radical reshaping of previously uninhabited or sparsely populated areas into new, planned, “total” rural landscapes.

Social divisions, surveillance and the security state

43rd Annual Conference of the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control

Despite the existence of widespread public discourse about equality and human rights, social, racial, sexual, ethnic, religious, political and economic divisions continue to mark societies across the globe. In many countries, these divisions have even widened under the pressure of competing nationalist and populist discourses which highlight difference rather than common humanity. Today, new technologies of surveillance are used on both a national and supra-national level to classify, segregate and control all those who are thought to threaten the mythical cohesion and security of nation-states. Whilst it was thought that the end of the Cold War and the spread of globalisation would lead to the erosion of boundaries of all kinds, on the contrary old boundaries are being rebuilt and new ones created. These boundaries have spread far beyond the traditional borders of nation state as surveillance and security have come to dominate the agendas of international organisations.

The Why Linguistics Conference

This conference proposes a constructive take on the question "Why?", as in, why are we doing what we are doing as linguists, and what is our contribution to knowledge? Or, equally well, what is the contribution of a particular domain of linguistics to other disciplines, and in turn, their contribution to linguistics? To what end do linguistics and any such neighboring fields of research or industry converge in their methods, results and problem setting? We welcome ideas both from within the linguistics community and fields of research or industry that involve the study of human language.

Conflicts & Social Violence in an Uncertain Interconnected World

Panel 033 EASA 2014. Collaboration, Intimacy & Revolution  - innovation and continuity in an interconnected world

This panel wants to question the issue of ordinary violence and its dynamics in interconnected but uncertain contemporary societies. Whatever their shape, these social violence appear to be very different from spectacular collective forms of political or economical violence. Ordinary violence is violence experienced by ordinary people in their ordinary everyday lives. Occurring everywhere, they are ordinary and daily routine though always culturally or locally specific in their achievements. They take place in relationships or interactions undermined by power abuse or exploitation. Previous studies have focused on the social construction of ordinary violence in ‘face to face’ interactions. But, the kind of ordinary violence springing from distant interconnections and from a growing feeling of uncertainty has not been suited as such. Then, it is from these contexts that we want to investigate anew the issue of ordinary social conflicts and violence.

From Observation to Text, from Text to Culture

Two Paths of Semiotics?

Dans ce colloque, nous entendons nous concentrer sur les outils d’analyse de la sémiotique et des disciplines sociales suivant deux directions complémentaires : (I) de l’observation au texte et (II) du texte à la culture. Dans le volet (I), nous entendons nous concentrer sur ce qui se passe durant la captation et l’inscription du sens en fonction de l’observation et l’interaction vécue, mais aussi à travers les notations, transcriptions et pré-analyses produites au cours de cette observation. Il s’agira de nous demander en quoi l’observation et la participation du chercheur peuvent contribuer à façonner les objets culturels. Dans le volet (II), la question que nous voudrions poser concerne le parcours qui conduit du texte à la culture. Ici, il ne s’agira pas forcément d’enregistrer sa propre expérience in vivo et de l’analyser en cours de construction du texte, mais de s’arrêter sur les moyens possédés par le chercheur pour prendre pour objet d’analyse un élément aussi large que la culture.

Anthropologie et sémiotique des camps et des déportations

L´expérience et la narration

Dans ce colloque on entend mettre l´accent sur des éléments centraux tels que : le rapport entre l’expérience (insaisissable en soi) et la narration (une forme de codification qui se dépose dans l’écrit, le visuel, le filmique, etc.), l’acte de parole individuelle et la représentation d’une collectivité, l’impersonnalité de la narration transparente et objective et la charge des émotions et de la souffrance, la communication des faits vécus et l’indicibilité du mal, la perte et la récupération de l’identité individuelle du narrateur-témoin, le rôle joué par le filtre de la mémoire, les lieux stratégiques des récits des camps (par ex. l’incipit et l’excipit) et la spécificité de la matière narrative, etc. La codification sémiotique des événements est évidemment importante afin de saisir le cours même de l’histoire. Du point de vue anthropologique, la question centrale est de réfléchir sur la manière dont les formes d’humanité (et de non-humanité) sont conçues, hiérarchisées, imposées, tolérées.
