  Big Data - truths and fictions

  La puissance de calcul des ordinateurs, le progrès des algorithmes, les travaux en machine learning et en intelligence artificielle (IA) ouvrent de vastes possibilités devant les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales. Tout d’abord, la possibilité de mettre en question de telles entreprises : en quoi élargissent-elles le champ de notre compréhension ? Qu’est-ce qu’elles apportent à nos principes méthodologiques ? Quels types de vérités échappaient à notre sagacité, que les nouveaux outils d’étude nous permettent de saisir ? Et la suprême provocation - l’écriture des textes, la composition des tableaux et des mélodies – mène-t-elle à un remplacement de l’artiste par la machine, ou bien c’est l’équipe des programmeurs, artistes et critiques qui vient de produire simplement un nouveau média numérique, l’art de la « machine intelligente » ?

  Transnational dimensions of dealing with the past in ‘Third Wave’ democracies

  Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the Former Soviet Union in Global Perspective

  This conference aims to fill the gap by looking at how post-dictatorial justice and memory experiences in Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union after the “third wave of democratization” have reciprocally affected each other. It also seeks to unpack how memorialization practices in these regions were shaped by and influenced in turn criminalization discourses in other geographical contexts (Latin America, Asia, Africa). The conference focuses on transnational activism, transfers of knowledge, and expertise at bilateral, regional or international levels, the impact of legal and mnemonic narratives outside their countries of origin, and the role of international organizations and NGO's in dealing with mass violence. The conference aims thus to trace the mutlidirectional circulation of ideas, norms and models of reckoning with authoritarian regimes both within these regions, and between them and other areas of the world.

  The Other Half of Communism: Women's Outlook

  “History of Communism in Europe” Journal, no. 8/ 2017

  This issue looks to include the most recent scholarship on women and their intricate relations with the communist parties in Europe, during the XX^th century. While including the valuable scholarship on “exceptional” personalities such as Alexandra Kollontai, Inessa Armand or Dolores Ibarruri, this issue aims to explore the voices of women that by political choice or simply historical tournaments found themselves as both objects and subjects of the communist parties. The political evolution of Europe through the century, the existence of USSR and the national (illegal) branches affiliated to the Communist International, and later of an Eastern Bloc determined completely different experiences, forms of activism and sociability. This issue of History of Communism in Europe aims to follow the relation between communism and women before and after the Second World War, on the both sides of the Iron Curtain.

  Parties, elections and social movements

  Rethinking the contours of political protest in Central and Eastern Europe

  Les élections et les mouvements sociaux sont les deux formes majeures de conflit politique dans les systèmes démocratiques (D. McAdam & S. Tarrow). Cependant, la nature des relations entre les mouvements sociaux et les élections est encore insuffisamment étudiée, particulièrement lorsqu’il s’agit de la région de l’Europe Centrale et Orientale et de la Turquie. Des études commencent à être développées dans une perspective comparative plus systématique sur l’Europe de l’Ouest (H. Kriesi) et les Etats-Unis (T. Skocpol). Cependant les pays de l’ECO ont été traités soit d’une manière isolée (bien que compréhensive, c’est le cas de la Turquie), soit ils ont bénéficié d’analyses circonscrites aux épisodes déjà fort théorisés (révolutions orange, Solidarnosc, etc.) mais qui ne rendent plus justice à la complexité des nouveaux mouvements sociaux et de leurs circonstances politiques.
