    A Fragile State Monopoly? Policies and Practices of Gun Control and the Redefinition of State Prerogatives on the Global Stage, 1890s-1940s

    This conference seeks to reflect on the relationship existing between private gun ownership and the processes of imposition (or re-imposition) of State legitimacy in peacetime as much as during or in the aftermath of armed conflicts. It intends to do so specifically by addressing how the process of modernization and its ensuing tendency to codification and the world wars and their long shadows have had an impact on three aspects of these processes: institutional regulations on civilian possession of firearms from above; juridical debate on limits and rights of State control; practices and culture of gun ownership on the ground.

    The transformations of Literature and Art Criticism in periodicals between the 18th and the 21st century

    Although unquestionably all-pervasive within the history of modern and contemporary press, the ‘review form’ has been to present an understudied practice. In fact, this multi-faceted, cross-disciplinary form that has persistently accompanied the different phases in the evolution of “print-capitalism” has hardly been analysed from a theoretical perspective. This dismissal by the academic world is certainly peculiar, if not manifestly contradictory; however, it significantly testifies of the difficulty of investigating such a slippery object of study critically.

    Bigger than a club: Supporters and historical identity

    Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea invite les chercheurs à engager une réflexion sur la manière dont l'histoire est « fabriquée » et utilisée par les supporters et les groupes d'ultras. En fait, il existe un récit historique officiel réalisé par des clubs sportifs et des clubs de supporters officiels, maiségalement un récit « non officiel », produit spontanément par des groupes de supporters. Tous les deux s'inspirent de l'histoire du sport pour (ré)affirmer le rôle historique des équipes dans une perspective historique.

    Convegno Internazionale Curzio Malaparte e la ricerca dell'identità europea

    Il convegno, che si terrà a Torino il 6, il 7 e l'8 giugno, si propone di esplorare l’opera di Curzio Malaparte seguendo il filo rosso della sua riflessione sull’Europa, con l’intenzione di ricomporre e analizzare il complesso quadro dell’immaginario letterario che questo paesaggio rappresenta. A partire dai grandi mutamenti che subisce il panorama storico-geografico nel quale l’autore si muove negli anni 1920-1950, si vuole ragionare sullo sviluppo del tema dell’identità europea all’interno dell’opera malaprtiana per studiarne la poetica, le forme e le modalità espressive. L’obiettivo fondamentale del convegno è precisamente quello di ampliare l’indagine sulla narrativa malapartiana e rilanciare il dibattito sulla produzione letteraria dello scrittore, per individuare nuove prospettive di ricerca che investano sia l’area linguistico-letteraria sia quella storico-antropologica.

    Migrations and circulations between Italy and France from the 19th century to the present day

    À l’occasion de la présentation de l’exposition « Ciao Italia. Immigration et cultures italiennes en France 1860-1960 » à l’Institut français – Centre Saint-Louis, le colloque réunira des chercheurs français et italiens de différentes disciplines afin d’examiner divers aspects des flux migratoires entre l’Italie et la France à l’époque contemporaine. Il s’agit de souligner l’importance et la grande fluidité des mouvements de populations entre les deux pays depuis un siècle et demi. Ces migrations, d’une grande diversité géographique et sociale en fonction des circonstances, contribuent à façonner un espace circulatoire transalpin, cadre d’analyse qui permet de dépasser le traditionnel couple émigration / immigration. À l’heure où la question migratoire suscite des tensions entre la France et l’Italie, une perspective inscrite dans la durée doit permettre de saisir, au-delà des enjeux démographiques et économiques, les effets politiques et culturels de ces migrations du point de vue des rapports entre Français et Italiens.

    International migrations and labour from the 70s to the present

Both with regard to organization of forms of protection of immigrants in the exercise of theirs fundamental rights, especially in cases of serious discrimination and exploitation (immigrant associations, trade union action, etc.).

    The Agreements of the Holy See with States (19th-21st Centuries)

    Models and Transformations, from Confessional States to Religious Freedom

    This conference will explore the international legal agreements signed between the Holy See and individual states, which often but not always took the form of concordats and similar conventions. Its central focus will be to examine these conventions in light of diplomatic practices, as well as in relation to the political and religious dynamics of the nineteenth through the twenty-first centuries, notably the principles and requirements that comprised modernity. This entails assessing the historical evolution of the typology, method, content, scope, and spaces concerned.

    The effects of World War I on the christian churches

    11 November 1918 saw the end of the First World War, known at the time as the “Great War” (1914-1918) for its global scale, extreme destructivity and unseen casualty rates. On the one hand, wars evoke heroism and patriotism and bring people and groups to alter their mental boundaries and abilities. On the other hand, wars also elicit hatred, envy and violent behaviour, the settling of hidden accounts, the abandonment of ethical standards, and deep divisions and confrontations between families and societies. Since effects of the first world conflict were enormous and the shock waves were felt for years and generations to come, the question arises about the impact of the Great War on religion and the established churches.

    Interarts - mimetic hypertextuality between rewritings and allographic continuity

    The last decades have seen an increase in the number of publications concerned with the theme of trans-textuality, meaning the conscious reuse of themes and subjects. A widespread practice during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, trans-textuality was interrupted during the Romantic age only to be relentlessly resumed until  becoming, today, a real trend in literature and other arts, overlapping genres and artistic expressions.

    European Space Agency's Space History Conference

    There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.
