Projections of health and welfare on the socialist and post-socialist screen
Bodies and health on television have not been extensively researched, in particular in the socialist and transition to market-economy contexts.The conference seeks to analyse how television and its evolving formats –contemporary, similar and yet differing in national broadcast contexts– expressed and staged bodies and health from local, regional, national and international perspectives. The conference seeks to better understand the role that TV, as a modern visual mass media, has played in what may be cast as the transition from a national bio-political public health paradigm at the beginning of the twentieth century, to alternative societal forms of the late twentieth century when (supposedly) “better” and “healthier” lives were increasingly shaped by market forces.

The exit from war in Danubian Europe: a new era? (1918-1924)
Using the Hungarian case as a springboard, and broadening the perspective to the whole of Danubian Europe, the conference seeks to address the following questions: the new social bonds emerging from the transformation brought about by the Paris Peace Conference; social, intellectual and (or) regional impact of changes, conflicts and international confrontations between 1918 and 1924. The conference aims to rise to the challenge of writing comparative social histories of this historical moment.

Migravit a seculo. Muerte y poder de príncipes en la Europa Medieval
El objetivo del coloquio es el análisis de la muerte como instrumento de poder por parte de las élites (los “príncipes”) medievales, desde los miembros de la realeza o la jerarquía eclesiástica hasta la aristocracia militar o el patriciado urbano. Dado el carácter multidisciplinar escogido, el acercamiento que ofrezcan los ponentes pueden ser de muy diverso tipo, y por tanto también los enfoques de acercamiento; desde perspectivas generales hasta casos particulares, que permitan la comparación en el tiempo y el espacio, pero también establecer la necesaria interrelación desde los diferentes campos de análisis. Por la misma razón, el elenco de ponentes contempla, junto a los miembros del equipo de investigación de MIGRAVIT-SEPULTUS que organiza el coloquio, la presencia de otras relevantes figuras del panorama científico europeo en sus respectivos campos, desde la historia general a la historia del arte, la musicología o la biología, para poder poner en común con ellos los resultados más relevantes de las investigaciones realizadas a lo largo de los tres último años.

New narratives, new approaches
Le groupement de recherche « Empire russe, URSS, monde post-soviétique » est né début 2019. Il a vocation à mettre en réseau les chercheurs français en sciences humaines et sociales travaillant sur l’Empire russe, l’URSS et le monde post-soviétique dispersés sur l’ensemble du territoire français, à soutenir les étudiants et les jeunes docteurs s’engageant dans des travaux sur cette aire, à donner de la visibilité aux travaux portant sur cet espace, et à renforcer le dialogue interdisciplinaire avec les chercheurs français travaillant sur d’autres espaces. Il est ouvert à tous les chercheurs intéressés. Dans cette perspective, il propose une première journée d’études, ouverte à tous, portant sur « Culture, création, patrimoine : nouveaux récits, nouvelles approches », en correspondance avec le premier axe transdisciplinaire du GDRus.

Dissent Versus Conformism in the Nordic, Baltic and Black Sea Areas
The tenth annual international conference on Nordic and Baltic Studies in Romania
In the meanwhile, conformism seems to have pervaded larger categories of public in East-Central Europe and beyond and new “illiberal democracies” evolved. A composite of authoritarian leader and godfather have taken the reins of power in the area. Populist parties and movements are on the rise. Resurgent nationalisms are again offered as a substitute to solutions. The refugee crisis lingers on and no common decisions have been adopted within the EU to solve it on the basis of the European values. The EU institutions are in need of reform and decisions on the course of the organization and its future enlargement process are still pending. The conference aims at analyzing two often interrelated phenomena: dissent and conformism.

Female artists in the classical age - illustration, painting, sculpture and engraving
Comment ces artistes sont-elles désignées, et de quelle manière préfèrent-elles se nommer ? Le siècle hésite à se saisir d’expressions pour les qualifier. Quelles sont les conditions de travail et de vie de ces artistes ? De quelles façons apprennent-elles leur art, où peuvent-elles l’exercer et l’exposer, avec qui à leurs côtés ? Quelle est la réception de leur art dans les Salons et les journaux de l’époque, en France et en Europe ? En quelle réputation – nationale et internationale, bonne ou mauvaise – sont-elles ?

The sacred space in the medieval church
Les rites liturgiques articulent la structure matérielle d’un édifice ecclésiastique. De ce fait, chaque conception artistique participe à son aménagement. Reproduit sur un bloc de pierre – claveaux de grandes arcades ou chapiteaux - à partir d’objets sacrés comme les chancels, le motif sculpté aide à identifier un espace liturgique spécifique. Cette question de l’espace liturgique peut également être considérée à travers le prisme de l’objet liturgique. Plusieurs cérémonies se déroulent, en effet, en dehors du cadre bâti de l’église : les processions, les drames liturgiques ou encore une partie des funérailles. Les objets liturgiques ont alors pour fonction de transposer, en dehors de leur cadre habituel, les rites cultuels. Ce colloque international, qui aura lieu les 5 et 6 juin 2018 dans les locaux de la Maison Archéologie et Ethnologie de René Ginouvès (MAE), a pour objectif de mettre en présence jeunes chercheurs et spécialistes reconnus pour dresser un état de la question dans les travaux actuels. Deux thématiques rythmeront ces deux jours dans lesquelles seront regroupées les communications des intervenants.

Divided memories, shared memories: Poland, Russia, Ukraine
History mirrored in literature and cinema
In Central and Eastern European countries, memorial questions appeared right after the demise of the communist regimes in 1989–1991, revealing long-denied processes. The phenomenon of the rise of repressed memories along with the rewriting of history, and the political uses of the past are noticeable in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine, three countries whose histories are as often shared as their memories are divided. The “memory wars” in which these three states have sometimes been engaged since the end of the 1980s have been the subject of an abundant historiography.

Post-soviet diaspora(s) in Western Europe (1991-2017)
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of former soviet citizens crossed the national borders in search of better lives in new countries, in what was the biggest migration tide since the end of World War II. These Post-Soviet migrants were diverse in origins, strategies and expectations. They often represented a challenge to the orthodox views of migration processes, since in most cases these flows could not be easily described and analysed following commonly accepted theoretical frameworks. Everybody seemed to be on the move: labour migrants, political refugees, cross-border traders, “tourists” planning to forget their return... and in a short period, they spread all over Western Europe.

The genesis of history and documentary museums
Second part: the first 20th century
Après une première journée d’étude consacrée en 2016 à l'émergence et à l'inégal succès du concept de musée documentaire au XIXe siècle, cette seconde journée sera consacrée au premier XXe siècle. Son objectif est de mettre en lumière une culture commune de la mémoire documentaire des sociétés contemporaines en croisant les exemples sur une échelle internationale, en montrant les transferts de savoirs et de techniques documentaires et en retraçant l’évolution parallèle ou commune du statut toujours ambigu du « document ».

1917-2017: Comparative Looks on the Soviet Artistic Avant-Gardes
The Soviet artistic avant-gardes have been raising a specific interest for a long time. For instance, their multiple practices, their theoretical apparatus, their opuses as well as the influences they exerted have been largely surveyed by the academic world. Ever since the 1990’s a reappraisal of the multiple reuses and reinterpretations of those “avant-gardes” have been carried out. Our international symposium aims to question and put into context that reappraisal and the renewal it induces in the field of scholarly research. The year 2017 as an historical landmark, the centenary of the Russian revolutions, offers a conducive environment for such reflections and thoughts. While evocating various and contradictory narratives, this centenary leads to rethink the vast array of meanings embodied by the revolutionary events as well as to shed a new light on the opuses they produced or lived through.
