Music and urban sociability in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Europe
New methods, new perspectives
The city is a privileged field for encounters between historians and musicologists. The work of recent decades has seen a significant renewal, particularly with regard to the Modern Age, during which music became a central component of the urban experience. The diversification of themes is the key ingredient to this renewal. Institutional studies have given way to more complex approaches that combine artistic, social, political, cultural and economic issues to show how music was negotiated in urban contexts. Through the central theme of urban sociability and an unusual periodization, this workshop aims to highlight the original work of emerging scholars in which the spatial issues of urban musical practices are predominant, in order to compare sources, methods and questions.

Taking a multidisciplinary, transnational approach, this conference explores the role of informal communication under conditions of World War II occupation and Nazi rule.

Freedom of Conscience in the Pre-Enlightenment (1000-1650)
Freedom of conscience is considered an unalienable right akin to freedoms of expression and speech, as noted in Articles 18 and 19 of the UN Charter. However, if we turn to the Medieval period, and its great diversity of innovative religious writing, it is clear that the mechanics of external oppression upon an individual’s inner life already existed in clear and comprehensible terms. Therefore, the (broad) question we would like to answer is : if we look beyond the eighteenth century, do we see this idea gradually become concrete ?

Conference, symposium - History
This international conference examines the history of confinements through the lens of their materiality. Indeed, confinement is defined by walls that separate individuals from society. Beyond the mere walls, daily interactions between confined individuals, institutional authorities, and staff are largely paved and defined by a variety of things : food, water, books, graffiti, clothes, money, letters, official registers, medicine, punishment objects, etc. In this regard, and drawing on the material turn in history since the early 2000s, things – whether “tangible” things physically available to historians or “textual” things described in written sources – might offer an additional perspective on the history of confinements more broadly, especially when addressing forms of “prison before the prison”.

Galant Eroticism and Its Markets (1650-1720)
This conference aims to explore the emergence, from the second half of the seventeenth century onward in France, of a new market for eroticism, linked to the development of the galanterie, understood here as an ideal of sociability grounded in values such as refinement, playfulness, and equality between the sexes. Drawing on a wide range of media – whether texts, images, engravings, or music – participants will be invited not only to question the renewed representations that characterize this new eroticism, but also to examine its conditions of production, circulation, and reception, in France and, more broadly, on a European scale.

Tant dans l’espace journalistique que sur les murs mêmes de la ville, la caricature politique et l’illustration graphique constituent des sources de la culture visuelle qui condensent et montrent les batailles symboliques qui se livraient dans la rue, allant même jusqu’à redéfinir les codes et les pratiques utilisés dans l’espace public. À la croisée de l’histoire politique, de l’histoire de l’art, des études culturelles et de l’analyse urbaine, ce colloque propose d’examiner les façons dont la caricature politique, la satire visuelle et l’illustration graphique ont influencé la représentation et les usages de l’espace urbain au cours du « long XIXe siècle » espagnol.

Au milieu du XXe siècle, en contexte de Guerre froide, divers pays envisagent le socialisme comme alternative à la domination coloniale. Dans le double contexte de Guerre froide et des décolonisations, le domaine culturel, et notamment les arts visuels (arts plastiques, photographie, cinéma, arts textiles, arts décoratifs, architecture), occupent une place particulièrement importante.

By choosing to focus on South-North circulations, this seminar is dedicated to the deconstruction of the “British Empire” as a homogeneous category to write and think about the intellectual, artistic, and political histories of the people who circulate and inhabit this polity known as the Commonwealth of Nations in the post-Bandung era. Working from the assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South have networked and connected within this space, we seek to interrogate the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era.

La Guerre froide latino-américaine : dialogues globaux
Desde finales del siglo XX, las investigaciones sobre la Guerra Fría en Latinoamérica han adoptado un enfoque transnacional, centrado en redes que cruzan fronteras y actores no estatales. Estas investigaciones amplían el marco temporal, utilizando perspectivas más globales y basadas en fuentes de archivos latinoamericanos, con el fin de resaltar la agencia de los actores locales y alejarse del análisis bipolar tradicional. El objetivo del panel es visibilizar esta producción regional y establecer un diálogo con investigaciones de otras regiones, discutiendo metodologías, avances en el acceso a datos y la situación de los archivos en el continente.
