  Victorians like us – Domesticity and worldliness

  Issue of “Open Cultural Studies”

  From novels to government reports, the Victorians attached unprecedented significance to domesticity. The household was a central institution, and their occupants played out their different roles according to custom and circumstance. Within its sphere, gender, class, economic and political conflicts were played out as the household provided the background for important social practices. These practices ranged from the kitchen to the parlour, from the street to the Houses of Parliament, from the colonial metropole to the British colonial outposts in Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

  Sites of popular education: conceptions and the architecture of the use of facilities since the thirties

  PAJEP conference

  Ce colloque vise à étudier l’histoire des équipements socioculturels depuis les années 1930. Organisé par Laurent Besse (histoire) et Catherine Clarisse (architecture), il s’adresse à des chercheurs intéressés par les rapports entre éducation populaire et architecture, qu’ils soient historiens, architectes, sociologues, géographes, spécialistes de sciences de l’éducation. L’étude des programmes architecturaux et des conceptions pédagogiques qui les sous-tendent sera complétée par celle des usages de ces bâtiments. Si la perspective est clairement historique, le colloque vise également à identifier un patrimoine de solutions techniques qui mérite d’être réinterrogé au regard des besoins contemporains. Les réhabilitations contemporaines de ces bâtiments sont une thématique qui sera abordée.
