  Gendering Humanitarian Knowledge

  Global Histories of Compassion from the Mid-Nineteenth Century to the Present

  The conference invites scholars to think about the notion of "humanitarian knowledge" in a multidisciplinary way, by combining perspectives such as gender history, the histories ofemotions and the body, literary and visual culture studies, global health history, as well as the history of institutions and their agents. All of them are useful to explore the transnational networks through which humanitarian practices and ideas have been promoted, disseminated and standardised.The conference brings together scholars interested in working on the history of humanitarian knowledge from a gender perspective. The interventions deal with stories of flesh and blood, which put women’s and men’s humanitarian experiences at their centre, in order to inscribe their local practices within a global history of compassion from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.

  The Restoration of Artworks in Europe from 1789 to 1815 : Practices, Transfers and Stakes

  L’histoire de la restauration des œuvres d’art émerge actuellement comme un champ de recherche incontournable et innovant. Cette journée d’étude cherche à faire le point sur l’histoire de la restauration en Europe dans un arc chronologique précis, étendu de 1789 à 1815. La période est en effet charnière. Après la Révolution française et jusqu’à la fin de l’Empire, la circulation accrue des œuvres en Europe favorise le développement de nouvelles techniques de conservation. De même, les annexions d’œuvres d’art par le gouvernement français font émerger la question de leur conservation de manière centrale et extrêmement sensible. D’envergure véritablement internationale et interdisciplinaire, cette journée entend réunir des chercheurs issus de différentes sciences humaines et sociales, mais aussi des professionnels de la restauration.
