"The grass is always greener" - gardens and politics
Franco-German histories, experiences and perspectives
Le CEREG (EA 4223) de l’Université de Nanterre, l’équipe de recherche « Mondes allemands » (EA 1577) de l’Université Paris VIII Vincennes Saint-Denis, l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Versailles et la fondation Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau organisent, du 14 au 16 mai 2020 un colloque franco-allemand sur le thème « “Sortir de l’enclos” : jardins et politique(s). Histoires, expériences et perspectives franco-allemandes ». Il s'agira de s’interroger sur les liens qu’ont entretenus, depuis le XVIIe siècle, les jardins avec la politique en France et en Allemagne, mais aussi d’examiner de récentes initiatives où le jardin, compris comme processus vivant, se transforme en lieu d’expression de la démocratie et de la citoyenneté. L’histoire des deux pays, parfois adverse et souvent intimement mêlée, incite en effet à tendre des miroirs pour révéler des mouvements et aspirations profondes des deux sociétés, étudier les contrastes et transferts mutuels, et croiser les études de terrain dans ce domaine encore peu exploré qu’est l'art comparé des jardins.

Conference, symposium - History
Alsace and the 1918 switch - expulsions, migrations, mobilities
Expulsions, migrations, mobilités
Ce colloque entend reconsidérer l’histoire de l’Alsace après 1918 à partir de recherches récentes sur son histoire migratoire, qui incluent l’expulsion des Allemands et des Alsaciens germanophiles, les migrations de travail, les déplacements frontaliers, l’accueil de réfugiés dans les années 1930. Ces phénomènes migratoires divers, à différentes échelles, dépassant souvent les frontières de la région comme de la France (puisqu’ils touchèrent le pays de Bade, la Lorraine, la Ruhr, la Belgique) contribuèrent tous à redéfinir la place de l’Alsace dans la Troisième République et ses nouveaux liens à l’espace allemand.

Art and research relating to the visible and invisible traces of conflicts - interdisciplinary and inter-artistic approaches to war heritag
This symposium is part of the research project “landscape(s) of the strange. On visible and invisible traces of a regional heritage in transformation. Artistic and theoretical (re)-constructions of a cross-border history marked by major conflicts” started in 2016. To begin with, the project approached the notion of “trace” or “mark” in its material (heritage, architecture, vegetation) and immaterial (memory, culture) dimensions, especially those related to the concrete landscape of Lorraine which bears the mark of a conflictual history opposing Frenchmen and Germans, especially during the two World Wars.

Summer School - Ethnology, anthropology
The music of migrants in camps
Making art in an emergency situation
Cette université d’été a deux objectifs. le premier est d'explorer un secteur mal étudié de l’ethnologie comme la musique dans les camps de transit. S’il existe une abondante littérature historienne et musicologique sur la musique dans les camps de concentration et dans les camps d’extermination, rares sont les études qui portent sur les pratiques musiciennes. Le second objectif est de construire une démarche comparative afin de mesurer la singularité d’une observation ponctuelle sur ce que l’on appelle la crise des migrants en Europe : Paris, Baigorri, Calais, Dunkerque (France), Friedland (Göttingen, Allemagne), M’Bera (Mauritanie), Mentao (Burkina Faso), Zaatari (Jordanie).

Bureaucracy and identity construction in the colonial and post-colonial context (1500–2015)
Based on a trilateral German, French and Senegalese cooperation, we wish to contribute to the academic exchange in African Studies between Europe, Africa and elsewhere. The summer school combines the reading of theory-related texts, the presentation of selected problems and case studies, as well as discussions. Its aim is to provide a solid foundation for further research and reflection, which will open up new perspectives and lead to cutting-edge findings.

Berlin
A Realm of Memory of the Cold War
Whether or not “the entire world” was looking at Berlin, as Reuter asserted, is one of the central questions to be addressed at our conference. Starting from the “frontline city” of Berlin, we will cast our glance to West Germany and its neighboring countries in order not only to frame the Berlin Airlift as a transnational memorial of the Cold War, but also to address, from outside, the question of whether Berlin was really the international focus of the East-West conflict back then, as the press and academia so often portray it.

Processus de transmission dans les familles de migrants ou issues de l'immigration
Regards croisés dans les États de l'Union européenne
Asking oneself questions on the concept of « transmission » in the field of sociology or history of immigration, one can refer to Max Weber’s observation: “All differences in ‘customs’ can feed a specific feeling of ‘honor’ and ‘dignity’ within those who carry them out. One can forget the original motives that gave birth to diverse lifestyles and the contrasts continue being perpetuated as ‘conventions’.” (Economie et Société, Vol.2, Pocket 1995, p. 128) Nearly a century later, can this observation still be considered as a topical subject? It is exactly this question that the conference offers to verify, summoning around the syntagm “process of transmission” the different disciplinary fields of migratory research.

War and experiences of European-ness: convergences, transfers and circulations (1900–1950)
National societies do not function in closed space. The spread of new communication and transport means during the second half of the 19th century has brought together formerly distant regions of the European continent and created new spaces for economic and information exchanges. This process of convergence provided a basis for a larger "community of Europeans". At the same time, a somewhat contradictory development took place through the strengthening of nationalist ideas and movements leading to the foundation of so-called "nation-states" in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and the intensification of tensions between different ethnic groups and minorities. European societies therefore experienced contradictory changes, both rapprochement on a transnational level and withdrawal to the national space.

Conference, symposium - Europe
Transnational representations of the flight and explusion of Germans after WWII
Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic
Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les événements de la fuite et de l’expulsion des Allemands des territoires de l’Est à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale occupent l’espace public en Allemagne de façon massive. Le présent colloque souhaite élargir le périmètre de perception de la fuite et de l’expulsion aux pays d’Europe centrale concernés : la Pologne, la République tchèque et la Slovaquie. Si le colloque s’intéresse principalement à la représentation des événements historiques dans la littérature, les arts, les médias, les musées et les expositions, surtout après 1989, il est néanmoins nécessaire d’accorder une place à l’historiographie du temps présent des différents pays concernés, notamment en s’interrogeant sur les nouvelles approches historiographiques. Il proposera également une réflexion sur ces événements dans le sens de la construction d’une mémoire commune en Europe centrale.

Call for papers - Representation
“People” and Power(s) in Representation
Nordic and Germanic Space
The Kiel Treaty, signed on 14 January 1814, marks a milestone in European and Scandinavian history as it ended armed conflicts between the realms of Sweden and Denmark. In order to celebrate its 200th anniversary, this conference will focus on national propaganda and representations of power through the representation of the people. The period under study spans from the 14th century to 1814. It includes the Scandinavian realms’ stabilization as well as the emergence of a national sentiment centered on the homeland, the ruler or the reigning power and ends with the emergence of nationalism in Europe.

What mankind? Teaching, students, (male and female) teachers
Revue internationale d'ethnographie n°4
This call for contribution of the Revue Internationale d’Ethnographie considers gender issue in terms of education and training through three “foundations”: teaching, students and teachers. It aims at assembling articles dealing with these three “foundations” – in a connected or disconnected way – by putting into evidence the dynamic which connect them to the gender issue so as to renew the knowledge extending to these observations of various situations. Expected contributions will emanate from ethnography but those from different subjects concerning humanities and social sciences may be relevant as well.

Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment
International Medieval Congress
Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.

Ce colloque, à l'occasion du centenaire de la première guerre mondiale, entend réflechir sur l'échec de la paix en s'intéressant à l'action de tous ceux et de toutes celles qui, dans les différents pays d'Europe et du monde, ont cherché à empêcher l'éclatement d'une guerre européenne ou ont cherché à en interrompre le cours. Le champ de recherches inclut toutes les sensibilités de paix émanant d'horizons politiques et de milieux sociaux très divers. Il s'attache aussi bien aux personnalités et militants qu'aux lieux et réseaux de défense de la paix, aux initiatives, évènements, manifestations et tentatives de paix, aux relations des pacifistes avec les États, aux idées, débats et controverses, enfin aux sensibilités et dimensions affectives, aux désirs de paix.
