  Between variability and singularity: crossing theoretical, qualitative and computer-based approaches to types and typologies in archaeology

  Call for paper EAA 2021

  This session is based on the ambition to revisit the "type" as an analytical and theoretical concept inorder to re-activate type-sensitive archaeological research or to develop genuine alternatives. We invite scholars from varying backgrounds to interrogate our apprehension of types, and to re-consider the basic explanatory value of types andtypologies, especially so vis-à-vis computer-based methods, emerging theoretical frameworks and, more generally, the consequences of such approaches and research frameworks for our understanding of types and typological thinking as core concepts ofarchaeological practice.

  History of measuring and calculations in archaeology

  In archaeology, quantitative approaches have a long tradition and belong to the very core of the discipline. However, the history of quantitative archaeological reasoning might be not as straight forward as suggested by the disciplinary history commonlys hared among archaeologists. Taken into account different social interests and traditions we doubt the narrative of linear methodological and technical progress, especially considering to a certain extent alternative developments of quantitative approaches inblocks of countries somewhat separated by language barriers. Different communities assign different roles and functions to quantitative procedures applied in archaeology. This session aims to explore the multitude of factors that determine the development ofquantitative archaeology.

  Sustainable Work

  Research Network Working Futures and Centre Marc Bloch

  In recent decades, work has undergone numerous mutations. New questions arise about the perception and value of work, the impact of digitalization, the virtues of the welfare state, and the social and ecological responsibility of employers, employees and companies. All these changes within the sphere of work raise the issue of the sustainability of work in various ways. The Summer Academy aims to explore the relationship between work and sustainability along four thematic axes: Sustainable Work and Ecology, Sustainable Work and Democracy, Sustainable Work and Social Welfare as well as Sustainable Work and Economic Development.

  Rethinking tobacco history: Commodities, empire and agency in global perspective, 1780–1960

  Tobacco was one of the most important globally traded commodities from the 17th century through to the present day, and yet it has received relatively little attention in the historiography of modern empires in comparison to other commodities, such as sugar or cotton. As a result, recent approaches to rewriting the history of European imperialism from a more global perspective have hardly been problematized with regard to the peculiarities of tobacco history. Nowadays, studies no longer understand empire as a rigid relationship between metropole and colonies, but take the dynamics of actors within an empire as seriously as the networks and global processes that crossed imperial borders, or indeed lay beyond them. The conference starts from this assumption.

  Figures and Perspectives on the Mass and the Individual in Capitalist Modernity (19th-21st century)

  How is it possible to use the notion of mass without making it collapse into a complete condemnation of collective action or into an acritical celebration of the crowd? From there on, the relationship between mass and individual can be addressed in many fashions: Are there any specific ways for the mass to organize itself as a political subject? What are means whereby artworks represent and transform the linkage between  mass and individual? What are the mutations undergone by the mass qua object of the social sciences? How does capitalist modernity affect the moral and psychic autonomy of individuals?

  Franco-German comparison

  Quels sont les outils juridiques mobilisés pour lutter contre le harcèlement professionnel ? Comment les juges les mettent-ils en œuvre ? Les différences observables sont-elles le fruit de l'histoire juridique nationale ou la conséquence d'un contexte socio-économique particulier ? Ces questions seront abordés dans un cadre comparatif franco-allemand lors de trois étapes successives. La première consistera à identifier les notions juridiques utilisées et à clarifier le vocabulaire. La seconde portera sur les obligations de l'employeur en matière de harcèlement. La troisième aura trait au mécanisme probatoire spécifique utilisé en matière de harcèlement. Lors de chacune de ces étapes, un binôme franco-allemand effectuera une présentation du thème étudiée, qui sera suivie d'échanges entre les participants.

  Thinking about violence in Africa through women’s experiences: vulnerability & subversion

  Penser la violence en Afrique au travers de l’expérience des femmes: vulnérabilité et subversion

  The two-day conference “Junges Forum 2020” seeks to reflect on women’s experiences of violence in Africa from an interdisciplinary perspective. The aim is not to discuss passive experience in the context of violence (if it exists at all) but to attempt to outline different experiences of violence (symbolic, social, domestic, epistemic, political or sexual) as well as to explore how they can be transformed, appropriated and reversed. The “Junges Forum” explicitly invites young researchers (PhD students, postdoctoral scholars) to share their ideas from various disciplines (anthropology, film studies, gender studies, history, literary studies, psychology, sociology, etc.) in order to encourage an interdisciplinary exchange and open debates related to the topic. The main focus is to be on African countries and regions only.

  Music and the Spanish Civil War

  This two-day conference aims to create a framework for a broader understanding of the ways in which Spanish and non-Spanish musicians (including composers, performers, conductors, musicologists, critics, and others) relate to this key historical and ideological conflict of the 20^th century. These relationships are not limited to the wartime period but also include the subsequent decades, in which a large number of musicians from Spain and abroad reflected on the confrontation and its consequences in their work.

  Research and innovation practices in non-academic settings in Europe (17th-21th Centuries)

  The aim of this conference is to examine the production of scientific, medical, technical and artistic knowledge in non-academic settings in Europe between the 17^th and 21^st centuries. The point is to understand who these non-academic social actors were, and to study the interactions between their research conditions, the knowledge produced and its reception. No presupposition on the marginality of or indeed centrality of said social actors should be deduced from the wording of the question. On the contrary, it calls for a study of the complex interactions between social and scholarly social spheres.

  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 XVII^e 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.

  Innovation and medieval communities in North-West Europe (1200-1500)

  Le lien bien établi entre innovation et modernisation suscite de nombreuses interrogations aujourd'hui. Toutefois ce phénomène est loin d’être propre aux sociétés modernes et contemporaines et la fin du Moyen Âge, qui n’a encore jamais fait l’objet d’une étude systématique sur ce sujet, se révèle essentielle pour comprendre les mécanismes humains d’adaptation, mais aussi les enjeux culturels qui facilitent ou bloquent les transitions. Débarrassés de toute perspective téléologique sur l’innovation, la période (XIII^e- début XVI^e siècle) et l’espace (Europe du Nord-Ouest) que nous souhaitons placer au cœur de cette rencontre pourront servir de laboratoire d’analyse, afin d’estimer les conditions de réception de l’innovation et les réactions suscitées par l’irruption de la nouveauté.
