For a comparative history of industrial risks regulation, 18th-19th c.
If comparison between national or regional contexts has been a driving force for the historiography of the « industrial revolution », and if environmental history has been immediately written on a global scale, the evolution of environmental and risk regulation is often studied according to the national, regional or local scales of the institutions producing the regulations. The aim of this workshop is to invite historians to consider how comparison could advance our understanding of the different ways of regulating risk and environment. -

Puericulture, Biotypology and "Latin" Eugenics in Comparative Context
This One-day Workshop is organised by the History of Race and Eugenics (HRE) Research Group Oxford Brookes University. The study of eugenics and race is currently undergoing a remarkable transformation - one defined by society's need to engage with scientific advances and the ethical dilemmas they raise on the one hand, and the investigation of hitherto neglected case studies on the other. The inclusion and juxtaposition of national and international histories of race and eugenics lies at the heart of this international collaboration that strives to not only yield original and timely research on these neglected national case studies, but to redefine and diversify the overarching debates on these particularly turbulent periods of modern history. -

Power of Spirit and Imagination in 17th Century
In this workshop, scholars from different disciplines will work together to study the early modern imagination. In particular, we are interested in the relation between general conceptions of the imagination at the time and more specific and controversial ideas of a creative, active and forceful imagination. This powerful imagination was dependent on ‘spirit’ in its different meanings in the early modern period (human spirit, demons, animal and other spirits, spirit of nature, etc.), resulting in a rich variety of opinions. These ideas of an active imagination and of powerful spirits, in their full complexity and diversity, were transmitted between philosophy, literature, medicine, the sciences, witchcraft, demonology as well as religion, and the workshop aims at unearthing the exchanges between these various fields. -

Theatrical Institutions and their Quarrels (1660-1848)
Le lien des théâtres institutionnels aux régimes monarchiques nous invite à étudier ces questions sur une longue période, de 1669, date de création du premier privilège de l’Opéra, à 1848, où une grave crise des théâtres éclate au moment de la chute de la dernière monarchie.En portant notre attention sur l’intervention structurante des querelles dans les institutions théâtrales et dans l’institutionnalisation des pratiques, et non pas sur les querelles dramatiques déjà étudiées pour elles-mêmes dans de nombreux travaux, nous nous interrogerons sur ce qui peut faire la continuité de cette période, non pour faire un tour exhaustif de la question abordée, mais pour porter notre attention sur des études de cas concrets, susceptibles de dessiner des problématiques stimulantes pour la recherche. -
