  Diasporas, charity and the construction of belonging

  A connected history of practices of ‘goodwill’ in Egypt during the imperial age (19th–20th centuries)

  Egypt was a space of circulation in the 19th and 20th centuries; a pole of attraction for migrants from Europe and around the Mediterranean. Numerous individuals from Ottoman provinces choose it as a place of exile. Greeks, Italians and Maltese, to name the most numerous groups, swelled the ranks of populations of European origin, which was chiefly concentrated in urban centres. Numerous institutions and charities were created to support these mobile populations. A space of rivalry between different actors (consulates, associations, missionaries, philanthropists, etc), charity in the context of diaspora/diasporic communities/groups has not been sufficiently studied. Inspired by recent works in connected history, this workshop aims to approach charity from a relational perspective, through a comparison of the discourses on and the practices of ‘goodwill’ implemented by different groups.

  The Vodun/Orisha pantheon - an answer to the world issues of tomorrow

  Porto-Novo, Capitale du Bénin a été pendant trois siècles et jusqu'a l'arrivée du colonisateur français en 1894, le cœur du royaume de Xogbonou. Ce passé a laissé dans le ville les traces matérielles plus ou moins conservées et qui donnent à cette ville une attractivité singulière. Le colloque scientifique du Festival international de Porto-Novo est un moment de réflexion sur son histoire et les grands enjeux du développement. Le présent appel à communications se définit donc comme une contribution à une meilleure connaissances des enjeux mondiaux d'aujourd'hui et de demain, mais aussi comme l'opportunité d'une large réflexion sur le panthéon Vodùn / Orisha ainsi que leur réponse aux questionnement du monde.

  Sistemas e dinâmicas educacionais coloniais e suas inferências sectoriais na África e em Moçambique colonial e pós-colonial

  Se para o conjunto africano é perceptível que as diferenças eductivas resultaram fundamentalmente da imposição de diferentes modelos ligados à diferentes realidades colonizadoras, tais diferenças seriam consideradas atípicas quando vistas no interior do mesmo sistema, por um lado, ou dentro do mesmo território colonial, por outro. Contudo, tal atipicidade parece ter dominado, mesmo reconhecendo-se que as colónias africanas estiveram, a partir do século XIX, sob uma mesma dinâmica imposta pela “Modernidade Europeia”. Tal realidade terá sido engendrada, ao que tudo indica, em virtude de nem sempre a tal Modernidade ter sido capaz de manifestar-se da mesma maneira em todos os territórios coloniais.

  The First World War from Tripoli to Mogadishu (1912-1924)

  "How, because of two wild beasts the world was set alight"

  Writing the history of the first World War from an African perspective is the main ambition of this conference. The Global approach challenges the traditional center and periphery model. What we would like to suggest in this conference is the adoption of a combination of different scales of analysis: local, national and transnational. The goal of the conference is to bring together experts, academics, early-career historians and doctoral students from different disciplines to share new scholarly work and to enrich the history of the first World War in Africa and the Middle East.
