Left-wing radicalism in the United States: a foreign creed?
Special Issue, “Transatlantica” (journal of American Studies)
This Transatlantica issue will analyze the way in which the construction of radicalism as foreign to US-American identity was received by radicals themselves, to see how they reacted to the branding of their beliefs as un-American, and how they devised counter-discourses in order to Americanize their ideas, sometimes leading to conflict and contradiction. How can the language of patriotism be combined with a belief in internationalism ? What coalitions, what political alliances can be built while maintaining a revolutionary stance ? How can the class struggle be rooted in a discourse on US-American society without succumbing to the sirens of exceptionalism ?

Benelux: Europe and the Cold War
The Power of non-powers and perspectives on the economic, social and political aspects of European Security Strategy in the early Cold War
What are the historical roots of views of European defense and Europe's role in Western defence? How did the early European Integration movement perceive American involvement in the development of a common security strategy? This conference will investigate these and other related questions by re-examining the early cold war US/European relationship and the role that early Cold War period developments played in the European Integration Movement. In so doing, this conference will also showcase findings which can contribute to the unification of Cold War and European Integration historiographies.

Capitalism and inequality in the United States
EHESS monthly seminar
Ce séminaire se propose de repenser la question des inégalités à l’aune des travaux récents sur l’histoire du capitalisme aux États-Unis. En repensant les mécanismes de crédit, les processus d’endettement ou les nouveaux enjeux de la question salariale, de multiples analyses invitent à réfléchir aux formes de légitimation ou de rejet des inégalités dans une société capitaliste. Si les États-Unis constituent le cœur de notre réflexion, des approches comparées seront régulièrement abordées. Ouvert à tous, ce séminaire mensuel s’articulera autour de lectures et de présentations de travaux en cours.

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.

The American state and the Second World War
Alors que le sens commun et l'historiographie font dater du New Deal le gigantisme de l’État fédéral américain, il est en réalité le résultat de la seconde guerre mondiale : dans la mobilisation générale, sa taille est soudainement multiplié par dix. Warfare State explore ce processus, analysant comment l’État développe ainsi son influence sur la société américaine en guerre, et surtout pourquoi la population américaine (si souvent décrite comme « antiétatiste ») s'y est si bien adaptée. La participation de masse au service militaire, à l'industrie de guerre, au rationnement, au contrôle des prix, aux souscriptions d'emprunt et à la généralisation de l'impôt sur le revenu ont toutes appris aux Américains à vivre avec leur nouvel État fédéral, État-providence de guerre.

Institut des Amériques seminar (2014-2015)
Le séminaire « Les Amériques en Livres » s'intéresse aux ouvrages publiés par les maisons d'édition partenaires de l'Institut des Amériques, ainsi qu'aux travaux en sciences humaines parus chez les principaux éditeurs français et étrangers. Il contribue à faire découvrir les études les plus récentes sur les Amériques. Les ouvrages portent sur l'ensemble des espaces américains du XVIe siècle à nos jours et reflètent la diversité méthodologique employée dans les études présentées, la pluridisciplinarité, les approches locales ou globales, les ouvrages biographiques et de références. Les analyses comparatives et transnationales, abordées dans ce séminaire, établissent des liens et soulèvent des problématiques nouvelles entre les divers espaces des Amériques, l'Europe, l'Asie ou l'Afrique. Enfin, les présentations et échanges avec le public alimentent la réflexion sur les débats historiographiques actuels.

Debt, Democracy, Citizenship: A Political History of public debts
Europe, United States, since the late 18th century
Organized as a workshop, this symposium aims to explore the public debt as the locus for political debates and conflicts. It brings together case studies analyzing aspects of the link between politics (especially in its social or participative dimensions) and the indebtedness of states. The discussions will help shed new light on such central concepts, for our understanding of the modern political world, as sovereignty, citizenship, democracy, and solidarity.
