    From ritual to myth: Carnival in European culture

    D’où vient la profonde exigence sociale du carnaval et quels sont les thèmes et les motifs que cette tradition a fait émerger dans notre héritage culturel et artistique ? Du drame bouffon à la farce et à la grande tradition de la commedia dell’arte italienne, des observations de Goethe sur le carnaval de Rome aux compositions de Schumann (Carnaval, op. 9) et de Saint-Saëns (Le Carnaval des Animaux), jusqu’à la peinture de Brueghel l’Ancien, Monet, Pissarro et Elrond, le carnaval a fasciné de nombreux auteurs. Le but de ce colloque est de recueillir et de combiner des idées innovatrices pour l’analyse ou la reformulation de ce mythe, en créant un pont entre les perspectives de lecture les plus diverses dans le domaine des humanités.

    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.

    Cultural diversity and mechanisms of identification

    Diversity through the optic of football in France and Germany (1950-2014)

    Aspirant à réunir de « jeunes » chercheurs français et allemands, ce colloque se propose de questionner la notion controversée de « diversité ethnico-culturelle », linguistique ou confessionnelle exprimée dans et à travers le football en tant qu’activité et spectacle sportifs. En France comme en Allemagne, le recrutement socio-ethnique des Bleus et de la Mannschaft – qui ont participé à la Coupe du monde 2014 au Brésil – est habituellement présenté par les observateurs de la vie sociale comme un indicateur tangible de la diversification de la « communauté des citoyens ». Alimentant le débat sur l’identité nationale et les mécanismes de l’identification, ce fait invite alors à la comparaison franco-allemande. Or, l’originalité de ce colloque réside non seulement dans l’articulation des échelles d’analyse synchronique et diachronique (1950 à 2014), mais aussi dans l’approche pluridisciplinaire, mêlant la sociologie, l’histoire, la science politique, les sciences du sport et les sciences de l’éducation.

    Food and Weather

    Ce colloque pluridisciplinaire vise à combler une lacune dans la recherche, en étudiant les nombreuses interdépendances entre les conditions météorologiques et l’alimentation humaine. Il s’appuie sur deux réseaux : celui de l’IEHCA, qui travaille sur l’histoire et les cultures de l’alimentation, et celui qui se consacre aux représentations du temps météorologique (Réseau Perception du climat). Bien qu’ils partagent centres d’intérêts, sujets, méthodes, ils n’ont jamais vraiment réuni leurs expériences.

    The Office as an interior (1880-1960)

    The so-called “second industrial revolution” meant a significant growth in the tertiary sector (banks, insurance companies, etc.); at the same time new administrative bodies arose both in industry and at agencies and public authorities. This went hand in hand with a massive increase in the numbers of employees. The employee became the socio-professional figure of the urban modernity, whereas the professional woman became increasingly important. The symposium addresses the development of the office in order to analyse the interdependency between physical and social space, materiality and practices, strategies and tactics, structures and individuals. Likewise, it is intended to approach the office from a historical perspective, as attention is directed towards the significance of the office for structuring and transforming the sociocultural situation from the turn of the last century through the end of the 1950’s.
