Post-soviet diaspora(s) in Western Europe (1991-2017)

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of former soviet citizens crossed the national borders in search of better lives in new countries, in what was the biggest migration tide since the end of World War II. These Post-Soviet migrants were diverse in origins, strategies and expectations. They often represented a challenge to the orthodox views of migration processes, since in most cases these flows could not be easily described and analysed following commonly accepted theoretical frameworks. Everybody seemed to be on the move: labour migrants, political refugees, cross-border traders, “tourists” planning to forget their return... and in a short period, they spread all over Western Europe.

Women and migration (19th-20th centuries)

Cette journée d’étude souhaite explorer les différentes facette de l’émigration féminine au XIX^e et au XX^e siècle, qu’elle ait été individuelle ou de groupe, assistée ou forcée. Il s’agira pour cela d’analyser les différents types de migration, les raisons socio-économique qui les motivent (push et pull), ainsi que leurs conséquences. Le regard sera aussi porté plus particulièrement sur les migrantes elles-mêmes, sur la façon dont elles peuvent / ont pu être affectées par leur passage d’un territoire à un autre, percevoir leur voyage et être perçues dans leur nouvel environnement. Les modalités institutionnelles, sociales et humaines de leur migration et, le cas échéant, les mécanismes d’appropriation des nouveaux territoires et/ou espaces sociaux seront discutés.

Co-Ethnics as Unwanted Others

A huge variety of cases involving the interaction of different ethnic/racial groups (in recent history up to the present day) and resulting in tension, conflict, disillusionment, discrimination, etc., have been the subject of extensive social research worldwide. Thus, thousands of scholarly works have been written about the intricacies of the acceptance and integration of immigrants who are racial, ethnic and/or confessional ‘others’ in relation to host populations. Alongside this, there are many examples of co-ethnics’ interaction which are also, overtly or latently, accompanied by intra-group conflict, tension and misunderstanding. Academic coverage of co-ethnics’ encounters is far less ‘mature’ in terms of conceptualization, and literature devoted to these issues is far less abundant.

Co-Ethnics as Unwanted Others

Intra-Group Tensions After the Fall of Communism: Causes, Consequences, and Contexts

Much has been written about the intricacies of acceptance and integration of immigrants who are racial, ethnic and/or confessional ‘others’ in relation to host populations. There are many examples of co-ethnics’ interaction which are overtly or latently accompanied by intra-group conflict, tension and misunderstanding, but academic coverage of co-ethnics’ encounters is far less ‘mature’ in terms of conceptualization, and literature devoted to these issues is far less abundant. The pattern of peoples' interaction being studied is usually a result of various kinds of population movement provoked by serious socio-political cataclysms in the 20^th and 21^st centuries, including the collapse of multi-national states and the intensification of labor migration resulting from post-socialist economic transformation. Our aim is to bring together international scholars who could present results of their latest research on these topics, preferably from a comparative and/or micro-level perspective.

The daily life and experiences of African students in the USSR and Russia

Avec les indépendances et la décolonisation, des étudiants africains sont venus très nombreux en URSS ; mais moins souvent en Russie après la Perestroïka. Quelle a été l’histoire de ces étudiants partis se former, non pas dans l’ancien pays colonisateur, comme cela était souvent le cas, mais dans un pays étranger envers lequel ils étaient souvent partagés entre admiration et méfiance ? Comment y sont-ils arrivés ? Quelles ont été alors leurs expériences ? Qu’est-ce qui les a marqués ? Quel a été leur devenir professionnel et politique ?

Urban Heritage Stakeholders and their Conflictual Memories and Representations : France, Romania, Turkey

Second Workshop : Minority Groups, Conflitcs and Heritage Policies

Ce cycle de rencontres scientifiques vise à approcher la question des acteurs du patrimoine urbain (au sens large et au-delà des monuments classés ou historiques) et celle des conflits de mémoire que la patrimonialisation engendre. Lors de cette seconde journée, seront abordées les politiques et pratiques patrimoniales en rapport avec la question « des groupes et populations minoritaires face aux politiques patrimoniales » dans les trois contextes nationaux. Les questions de la mémoire des lieux et des groupes sociaux, comme constitutive de leurs identités et de leur projection dans l’avenir et, en lien, des effets des politiques patrimoniales sur ces groupes – les éventuelles résistances générées – et sur les identités locales seront ici posées.

Conference, symposium - History

Historical Development of National Systems of Elite Formation in Eastern and Central Europe

This workshop is bringing together specialists from mostly Eastern Europe together with some West European partners, capable and liable of sharing their localised research expertise in the study of the birth and initial development of national systems of elite training in a number of (mostly but not exclusively) small East Central European societies. All of them have very concrete empirical research agendas and records in these fields, but separately, applied to their own national societies. The idea of the meeting is born from the need of and the interest in comparing – in many thematic issues term by term – research findings, insights and questions gained from studies of the training, career and activities of various East European elite groups during the decades up to the Soviet take-over.
