“Afriques. Historical debates, methods and fields” journal
In this special issue, for the journal Afriques. Historical debates, methods and fields,we wish to ask ourselves how ancient societies represented their own past, or at least the past states of societies which came before them. In other words: what perception, collections, inventories, archaeology, denials, or even destructions, did they perform on their previous pasts? Which continuities or breaks did they believe they had perceived? What did they believe their own elders or ancestors had passed on to them? We are seeking papers which specifically explore the relationships between a past which is doubly past, a present which no longer exists, and our own present.

House and palace - a history of protected buildings
École de Chaillot doctoral study day
Cette manifestation est dédié à l’architecture domestique et résidentielle protégée. Ces espaces bâtis seront questionnés sous différents angles : l’historique de la protection, la définition du corpus concerné (distinction entre monument et maison), l’échelle de la protection de l’architecture domestique et résidentielle (rapport entre le contenant, le contenu et le contexte), ses modalités de protection et de prescription au regard des outils anciens et contemporains, la nature de l’intervention sur ce bâti (entretien, projet de conservation-restauration). Ces différentes approches sont sous-tendues par des usages, des contextes historiques (notamment l’histoire urbaine), des critères socio-économiques et culturels.

Spaces, material cultures, and scenographies in Africa before the 20th century

Grasping and managing fear - the anthropology of fear in Ancient Greece in the Christian age
Depuis une trentaine d’années, les études sur les émotions constituent un courant important de la recherche historique en général et helléniste en particulier. Les travaux d’Angelos Chaniotis et de David Konstan ont marqué cette tendance, et de nombreux ouvrages sur les émotions en général ou sur des émotions particulières comme aidôs (D. Cairns) ou la colère (Ed. Harris) ont vu le jour. Nous avons choisi d’approfondir une émotion fondamentale, la peur. Outre sa qualité de moteur pédagogique capital pour la petite enfance, la peur, sous ses différentes formes, combinée à des émotions annexes comme l’angoisse ou la stupeur, accompagne toutes les manifestations de la vie humaine.

Thinking "small" from Antiquity to the 19th century
Textual approaches and practices of artistic miniaturisation
Si les manifestations matérielles d’une fascination séculaire pour les formes, les images et les objets minuscules sont nombreuses – des statuettes tanagréennes aux gravures en petit de Stefano della Bella ou de Sébastien Leclerc, des microarchitectures sculptées des édifices gothiques aux objets de vertu de la bonne société du XVIIIe siècle, des créatures lilliputiennes de la littérature enfantine aux automates scientifiques que généralise le siècle industriel, etc. –, plus rares sont les sources historiques qui permettent d’en comprendre les fondements culturels. Alors que les écrits considèrent habituellement le « petit » dans son rapport hiérarchique avec le « grand », l’analyse des consommations des œuvres de moindres proportions atteste un ensemble de qualités pratiques, symboliques et artistiques (maniabilité, mobilité, économie, pauvreté, préciosité, minutie, joliesse, étrangeté, etc.), qui dessinent les contours d’une catégorie conceptuelle et esthétique à part entière.

The countryside and rural archaeology in the Maghreb and in the Mediterranean
Le thème de ce 6e colloque permettra de s’interroger sur les méthodes, les approches, les sources et les matériaux mis à contribution pour écrire l'histoire et aborder l’archéologie des peuplements dans les campagnes maghrébines et méditerranéennes de la Préhistoire jusqu’au début du vingtième siècle. Cette rencontre ne prétend pas présenter un bilan exhaustif des recherches sur cette thématique pour l’ensemble du Maghreb et de la Méditerranée, mais cherche plutôt à présenter l’état de la question, et fait appel à une réflexion épistémologique et méthodologique ainsi qu’à un regard critique sur les approches et les techniques appliquées dans l’étude des espaces ruraux.

On administrative and legal documents in Africa
Historians, anthropologists, linguists and specialists from other relevant disciplines are invited to submit proposals for articles in French or English devoted to the production, transmission and conservation of administrative and legal documents in Africa to the exclusion of texts from Western colonial administrations. The purpose is to establish a state-of-the-art account of African practices related to administrative and legal documents. Attention should be paid to documents that, often said to be “performative” and/or normative, are intended to have an effect, for instance: grants of donation, contracts, charters, funeral inscriptions, correspondence, inventories or any other “archived” documents. This special issue seeks to update the study of administrative and legal texts in Africa thanks to the advances made in research on “literacy” since the 1970s.

Sport and Education from the Ephebe to the Teenager
In every age, from ancient Greece to contemporary societies, sport has always had close and significant links to the world of education. The gymnasium of the ancient world fulfilled a threefold purpose as a space of the celebration of the body, sensory education and physical training. The twentieth century has seen a partial renewal in sports education in accordance with ideas and proposals influenced by, and occasionally the subject of controversy among, the Olympic movement, sporting associations, the institution of school, and youth movements. Sports education, then, involves issues and concerns encompassing the civic, military, health, practical and, most markedly, political spheres. The historiography of sports education has experienced profound transformations over the last decade, seeing changes in its sources, its subjects and its approaches. This session will be devoted to an account of the most exciting directions it is taking today.
