Utopias and collective dystopias in rural worlds: Contestation, experimentation, evasion
"Civilisations", volume 70
The investment in the rural world by anti-establishment communities is not new. The strategy of withdrawal and distancing from places where power is centralised has already been observed by sociologists, anthropologists and historians at different times and places around the world. People who decide to organise their daily lives and modes of production collectively are motivated by different aspirations. Utopian collectives are also defended by their protagonists as places for experimentation with societal alternatives, whether they concern modes of governance, agricultural techniques, gender relations or the organisation of work. The objective of this issue is to grasp their "creative" potential, as well as the social values and contradictions they promote. This issue is part of a multidisciplinary approach.

Gender Dynamics and Practices in Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape Architecture
In France, as in several other countries, the professions of architect, urban planner and landscape architect have crossed a historic threshold in terms of feminization. However, numerical parity does not mean men and women have equal professional opportunities: numerous demands of feminist associations remain unsatisfied. They note the persistence of many professional inequalities: in terms of income, in terms of financial control and job insecurity, in terms of visibility, and in terms of recognition. This call for papers aims to gather contributions for an assessment of the gains and limits of feminization and gender dynamics at work in the professional worlds of architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture in France, fifty years after the "massive" entry of women into architecture schools in 1968.

Place your bets. Musical life in French casinos (19th-21st century)
Ce colloque a pour but d'étudier la vie musicale dans les casinos français du XIXe au XXIe siècle. il est conçu comme la première étape d’un projet de recherche sur la vie musicale dans les casinos européens (empires coloniaux compris) et américains. Il vise à explorer un terrain de recherche aussi vaste que vierge, un terrain d’autant plus stimulant pour le chercheur qu’il se situe à l’intersection de l’histoire des lieux de musique et des pratiques musicales, de l’histoire du spectacle, de l’économie de la musique, de l’histoire sociale des musiciens et de celle des circulations des différents acteurs et des répertoires musicaux à l’échelle locale, nationale et internationale. Ce faisant, il s’agira de contribuer à l’histoire de la musique hors des grandes capitales culturelles et aux études sur le balnéarisme et le thermalisme.

Rethinking the History of the Rust Belt since 1945
This region, stretching from western New York to eastern Iowa, was until the middle of the 20th century the country's manufacturing and industrial heartland. From the Great Migrations that radically transformed its demographics to the weakening of its economic model, as well as the massive struggles waged by local workers and protagonists of the Civil Rights movement, the political and social history of the Rust Bel. By bringing into dialogue the ongoing or recently completed research of doctoral students and junior academics with a view to opening up new perspectives on the history of the Rust Belt, from a range of disciplines (history, sociology, political science, geography), we intend to highlight spaces and actors too often relegated to the margins of this region’s history, despite their having decisively contributed to shaping the contemporary Rust Belt

Iglesias
Il rapporto Chiesa e società nelle aree europee degli Imperi di Spagna e Portogallo e nell’America spagnola e portoghese intende gettare uno sguardo sullo sviluppo e sulle caratteristiche di questo variegato rapporto tanto nel Vecchio quanto nel Nuovo mondo. Particolare attenzione sarà attribuita alle fonti documentarie inedite o poco studiate in grado di aiutarci ad aprire nuovi percorsi di ricerca per capire la funzione pastorale ed evangelizzatrice della Chiesa, ma anche le luci e le ombre di un clero non sempre orientato al bene dei poveri. Sarà importante analizzare come la Chiesa, attraverso le sue strutture, si sia organizzata e radicata nella società sia in Europa sia in America Latina.

Research program looking at institutions and law in former Savoie states (PRIDAES 10)
À l’heure d’une réflexion planétaire sur la préservation du patrimoine naturel et environnemental, dans une perspective de développement durable, et lorsqu’il s’agit de promouvoir des solutions globales de surveillance environnementale et de gestion des risques, le droit apparaît comme un mécanisme d’impulsion de nouvelles règles de surveillance et de valorisation raisonnée des ressources. Or, l’élaboration de ces règles peut s’enrichir de solutions et d’expériences passées figurant dans des documents juridiques parmi lesquels les statuts, bans et règlements champêtres constituent une source d’une richesse insoupçonnée. De tels règlements, qui sont de véritables outils de gestion durable des ressources environnementales, relèvent aujourd’hui en France d’un champ historiographique peu connu et donc peu exploité.

South-South Axes of Global Art
The decentered internationalism espoused by the Havana, Dakar, and Gwangju biennials invites art historians to depart from an exclusively North Atlantic focus. Such a shift in purview seriously considers cities and regions that have been marginalized by previous academic emphases, more so than by their historical circulations of art and culture with the rest of the world. Historicizing and measuring the circulation of art on the former margins is now a decisive task if we want to evidence, nuance, or contest the “provincialization” of Europe and North America in recent art history. Artl@s’ upcoming conference aims to gather an international and transdisciplinary group of researchers to collectively investigate the formation and impediments of what we call “South-South” axes from decolonization to the present day.

Names of places, names of people: the question of sources
Les recherches onomastiques, qu’elles concernent la toponymie ou l’anthroponymie, nécessitent de recourir à des sources diverses dont l’identification et l’exploitation posent un certain nombre de problèmes que le colloque se propose d’examiner. Nous entendons par source tout document contenant des données qui permettent d’étudier les noms propres, de l’Antiquité à nos jours. La thématique locale du colloque sera la toponymie urbaine de Paris et de sa banlieue.

South-South Axes of Global Art from the Nineteenth Century to Today
Artl@s Conference
The decentered internationalism claimed by the Havana, Dakar, or Gwangju biennales, that the Venice biennale is now trying to echo by awarding Angola’s pavilion the 2013 Golden Lion, invites us to depart from an exclusively North Atlantic art history. Historicizing and measuring the circulation of art on the former margins is now a decisive task if we want to evidence, nuance, or contest the “provincialization” of Europe and North America in recent art history. Artl@s’ upcoming conference aims to gather an international group of researchers to collectively investigate what we call “South-South” axes since the nineteenth century.

Museums and collections of visual and sound documentation around 1900
The spread of photography, the invention of cinema, and the development of sound recording devices around the end of the 19th century engendered the creation of a large volume of still and moving images, as well as sounds registered from across the world. At the time, various institutions were established in order to collect, archive, and highlight these materials, so as to preserve visual and auditory traces of history, geography, and all the social phenomena stemming from particular regions or states, or even the entire world. It concerns, for example, documentary photography museums which arose from local projects in France, Swiss and Belgium; the Archives de la Planète, created by the banker Albert Kahn; the project of Boleslas Matuszewski for a repository of historical cinematography; or the earliest, globally-directed sound archives, set up in Vienna and Berlin.

The international festival of research films in humanities and social sciences
Organisé au CREA à Lyon de 2010 à 2013, le Festival international du film de chercheurs sur les esclavages, leurs héritages et leurs résurgences contemporaines. Diasporas, Cultures et Citoyennetés, connaît cette année à la fois un élargissement de ses thématiques et un nouveau format. Cette nouvelle configuration du festival, intitulé désormais Festival international de films de chercheurs en Sciences Humaines et Sociales. Terrains, écritures et trajectoires, accorde une place centrale aux nouvelles écritures de l’anthropologie pour penser la discipline, son avenir et son rapport aux autres sciences humaines et sociales. Il s’agit de relayer les interrogations sur la place des outils, des techniques et des formes de transmission, mais aussi du son et de l’image en réaffirmant qu’ils sont susceptibles de complexifier profondément les recherches contemporaines des anthropologues, mais aussi des géographes, des historiens, etc.

Issues of the enquiry into migrations
Moving object, slippery terrain
La diversité et la complexité des trajectoires migratoires, l’incertitude liée aux crises politiques, économiques et aux politiques de sécurisation et de contrôle des frontières, génèrent une forte instabilité du champ migratoire. Elle se reflète sur la façon dont le chercheur essaie d’appréhender les migrations. Cette journée d’étude se propose de revenir sur les spécificités de l’enquête de terrain sur le fait migratoire. A partir de leurs recherches sur les migrations présentes et passées, de jeunes chercheurs (masterants, doctorants, post-doctorants) présenteront leurs questionnements : comment saisir et restituer ces mouvements ?

This conference follows up the Future of Historical Network Research (HNR) Conference 2013 and aims to bring together scholars from all historical disciplines, sociologists, other social scientists, geographers and computer scientists to discuss the emerging field of historical Social Network Analysis. The concepts and methods of social network analysis in historical research are no longer merely used as metaphors but are increasingly applied in practice. With the increasing availability of both structured and unstructured digital data, we should be able to analyze complex phenomena. Historical SNA can help us to cope with the organization of this information and the reduction of complexity.

Issues of research into migration
Moving object, slippery terrain
La diversité et la complexité de trajectoires migratoires qui ne peuvent être saisies uniquement à travers les cadres nationaux, l’incertitude liée aux crises politiques, économiques et aux politiques de sécurisation et de contrôle des frontières, génèrent une forte instabilité du champ migratoire. Elle se reflète inévitablement sur la façon dont le chercheur essaie d’appréhender les migrations. Cette journée d’étude se propose donc de revenir sur les spécificités de l’enquête de terrain sur le fait migratoire. Les communications porteront de préférence sur des études empiriques, à partir de questionnements ou de situations expérimentés par les jeunes chercheurs (masterants, doctorants, post-doctorants) dans leurs recherches sur les migrations présentes et passées : comment saisir ces mouvements, comment les restituer ? Dans quelle mesure ces mobilités nous amènent-elles à repenser l’enquête de terrain, le recueil de données ou la relation avec les enquêtés ?
