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 ?

Stakeholders and healthcare systems

The economic dynamics of the French Revolution
Dix ans après le numéro consacré aux « Temps composés de l’économie » par les Annales historiques de la Révolution française, le projet de ce colloque international vise à dresser un état des lieux de la recherche, tant pour valoriser les travaux en cours que pour en impulser de nouveaux en matière d'histoire économique de la période révolutionnaire. En revisitant des corpus d’archives déjà explorés ou en exploitant des sources encore méconnues, il s’agit de faire émerger des pistes de recherche inédites et des interprétations renouvelées à propos des mutations induites par le fait révolutionnaire sur les circuits et les dynamiques économiques, à l’échelle hexagonale mais aussi européenne et internationale.

The Emancipation of Bound Laborers in the Americas before the Abolition of Slavery
What were the modalities of the emancipation of unfree workers? Which factors motivated the adoption of legislation regulating emancipations? Is it possible to establish a typology of the emancipators and of the emancipated servants and slaves? To what extent did slaves and indentured servants take part in their own liberation? Did the introduction of slavery provide any negotiating power to white servants, for instance by reducing their length of service? Did the practice of emancipation evolve in reaction to the advent of abolitionism, especially after the movement gained momentum and radicalized itself?

Histoire économique et sociale des campagnes (XVIIe-XXe siècle)
Crises et changements dans les campagnes européennes
Ce séminaire a pour vocation de présenter et de discuter les plus récents développements dans le domaine de l'histoire des campagnes. Il est un lieu de réflexion sur les questions qui intéressent l'histoire de l'agriculture et l'histoire du monde rural, considérées comme des clés d'interprétation et d'explication des sociétés contemporaines, en s'intéressant plus particulièrement aux phénomènes de crises et aux mutations qui ont pu affecter l'économie et la société, que ces mutations aient été facteurs de crises ou que ces crises aient été porteuses de mutations. Une attention particulière est accordée aux problèmes alimentaires, agraires, sociaux ou environnementaux et une large ouverture internationale dans les thématiques abordées est privilégiée.

The Atlantic World of Anthony Benezet
There is renewed interest today in the study of early North American antislavery, and thus Quakers. Yet the French Atlantic dimension of Quakerism has been left unexplored. We thus found it useful to focus on the Atlantic world of Huguenot Anthony Benezet, a mere schoolteacher and the first antislavery propagandist of modern times. Benezet was born in Saint-Quentin in 1713, then left for France eventually to settle in Philadelphia where he converted to the Quaker faith. His antislavery ideas later had a major influence on Quaker communities in North America, but also other antislavery activists on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean at the end of the eighteenth century.
