    The event

    73rd congress of the Institut d'histoire de l'Amérique française (IHAF)

    Pour son 73e congrès, qui aura lieu à Orford en Estrie les 15, 16 et 17 octobre 2020, l'Institut d'histoire de l'Amérique française sollicite des communications qui mobilisent la notion d’événement, mais également qui la mettent à l’épreuve et la questionnent, des communications qui cherchent à révéler des aspects méconnus d’événements bien enracinés dans les récits historiques, mais également qui mettent ou remettent en scène des événements oubliés de l’historiographie ou de la mémoire collective, des communications qui réfléchissent à la manière dont l’événement est fabriqué, historicisé. Au final, nous n’avons pas à choisir entre l’événement et la longue durée, mais il y a certainement une nécessité de réfléchir à la place de l’événement dans la longue durée.

    Sciences, knowledge and politics: Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland between Europe and Latin America

    Depuis longtemps, la recherche sur Alexander von Humboldt s’est surtout intéressée aux différents aspects scientifiques de ses voyages et de ses recherches. Elle a par exemple analysé leurs apports aux évolutions des différents champs des « sciences romantiques » et de la philosophie, ou encore les relations avec les autres voyageurs et scientifiques, en discutant ainsi les effets de transferts et de circulations des savoirs entre Amérique latine et Europe – voire d’autres parties du monde. Si la recherche historique a ainsi pu faire découvrir au public de nombreuses facettes des œuvres d’Alexander von Humboldt et d’Aimé Bonpland dans leurs liens avec le monde scientifique de leur temps, plus rares ont été les chercheurs qui se sont penchés sur les aspects politiques de leur travail.

    Defining and defying the concept of deviance and degeneration in the British Isles and North America in the 19th century

    This one-day conference aims at exploring the definition(s) and contours of deviance and degeneration as it was conceived in the British Isles and North America in the 19th century. PhD students, postgraduate students and junior scholars whose research pertains to the study of deviant groups, whether self-defined or not, are particularly welcome to participate. Speakers will be invited to focus on the processes of definition of the standards of normality – whether religious, social, political, legal, medicalor sexual – as well as what those processes entailed for those who were labelled ‘deviants’. The role of scientists, doctors but also political authorities is of considerable interest in this respect, as are the ways in which normative standards were circumvented and challenged.

    Knowledges, Sciences, Techniques and State building in Iberian America, 1790-1870

    Over the last few decades the renewal of the history of the sciences has been marked by an opening towards non-European spaces, especially the Iberian Americas, and by the study of the relations between knowledges and power. We now have at our disposal a growing body of work on the imperial sciences, the contribution of the colonies to the advancement of knowledge, more particularly the natural sciences, and on the Enlightenment and the links between sciences, revolutions and independence in the colonial territories. However it is the opposite hypothesis that we seek to explore, highlighting both the modalities by which the legacy of the imperial, colonial Enlightenment was passed on and transformed, and the processes which meant that late 19th century Ibero-American societies, including Brazil and the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, were ready to take full advantage of the new scientistic paradigm with a rapidity that ought to strike us as surprising.
