  Displaying the social history of migrants: content, scenography, public engagement

  Donner à voir l’histoire sociale des migrations: contenus, scénographies, médiations

  We seek proposals from post-doctoral scholars, recent PhDs, as well as those in the final stages of their dissertations with a background in related fields, in particular migration studies and social history, especially as they intersect with museum studies and/or public history. Participants will discuss, from a theoretical and a practical point of view, the best ways to display, in an exhibition context, the daily experience of past migrations in all their social dimensions.

  The European Industrial Heritage of the First World War

  The First World War marked the history of Europe. It has been characterized by an unprecedented effort in industrial production, which today constitutes a common European heritage. The industrial heritage of the First World War, however, seems to be invisible: it is not identified or even defined as such, whereas this war was characterized by the massive use of industrial technology, both in the field of the production of weapons, aircraft and chemicals for military purposes as well as in the civil sector, particularly for agri-food production. It is interesting to note that conversely, the industrial heritage of the Reconstruction could be the subject of work. The organization of a European symposium, the first on this theme, is essential in order to establish an inventory of the material traces that still exist today and to draw the attention of the public authorities to the need to ensure their conservation.

  The Work of Art, Particular and Universal

  At the same time symbols of a specific cultural identity and bearers of a message of universal level, the art pieces and their interpretations carry a semiotic tension. The matter of this symposium is to explore the dialectic between identity and universality from the historical point of view and through three different thematic.
