  New approaches to the history of soft power in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries

  The study of soft power in the modern period is unequal, with much attention understandably paid to the Cold War when culture offered a surrogate for damaged and blocked political dialogues. But practices that aimed at promoting a nation abroad were not invented after the Second World War, nor were they inexistent before then. Some historians have traced their origins back to the nineteenth century with the formation of nation states (in Europe) and the growth of ministries of foreign affairs.  In addition, the historiography has largely omitted soft power policies produced by and targeting so called “periphery countries”. Therefore, much remains to be written if we are to fully appreciate the history of soft power and its associated key concepts (public and cultural diplomacy, propaganda, publicity, promotion, oeuvres -in the French context, public relations) and the multiplicity of meanings with which these ideas and practices were endowed globally throughout the modern period.

  Justices and representations: actors, practices, records

  Ce symposium sur les justices, ses acteurs, ses représentations et ses registres, propose une réflexion interdisciplinaire à partir de situations du passé et du présent. Cette rencontre souhaite contribuer à l'élaboration de savoirs pertinents et utiles pour la compréhension des sociétés et des cultures, en particulier leurs savoirs judiciaires et juridiques, leurs modalités et leurs fonctionnements. On cherchera avant tout à tracer et répertorier les expériences, les répercussions, les conséquences et les impossibilités des justices.
