Getting the Houses in Order: agenda-setting, policy-making, and legislating in the House of Lords

Twenty years after the 1999 Reform Act was passed, this one-day conference will study the evolutions and transformations of the legislative and political abilities of the House of Lords in the British parliamentary system. Organised jointly by the MIMMOC (Université de Poitiers) and the CECILLE (Université de Lille), the conference will also adopt a comparative approach and we welcome submissions focused on the upper chambers of different countries.

OK Computer, twenty years on

Radiohead’s musical, cultural, and political legacies

Following a symposium held at Rennes 2 University last may, further contributions (in English or French) are now sought in order to publish a wide-ranging, peer-reviewed collection of articles appraising OK Computer’s musical, cultural and political legacy twenty years after its release. The aim of this publication is to bring together contributions from scholars who wish to confront Radiohead’s work with their own disciplinary methodologies, including (but not limited to) musicology, sociology, art history, political science, literature, cultural studies or even economics.

"OK Computer", twenty years on: Radiohead’s musical, cultural, and political legacies

As a band who has garnered critical and commercial success without forsaking their taste for musical experimentation and subversive, yet poetic, lyrics, Radiohead offer multiple facets to their listeners and to popular music scholars alike. Nevertheless, only a handful of academic studies have, to this day, been devoted their work, including The Music and Art of Radiohead (Tate, 2005).

Rethinking Right-Wing Women

Gender, Women and the Conservative Party, 1880s to the Present

This two-day international conference explores the relationship between women and conservatism since the late 19th century. In the media frenzy and the re-enactment of the visceral political divisions of the 1980s that greeted the death of Margaret Thatcher in April, 2013, it soon became clear that Britain’s first woman Prime Minister was being portrayed as an aberrant figure who had emerged from a party of men. It appeared that the media and the public had not been well enough served by academics in making sense of and contextualizing the Thatcher phenomenon and, more broadly, the paradoxical sexual politics of the Right.

Governance and Public Policies in the Contemporary United Kigdom

Cette journée d’études se propose d’explorer la notion de gouvernance dans un ancrage spatio-temporel précis : le Royaume-Uni de 1997 à 2014. Il s’agira de s’interroger sur l’évolution de la gouvernance dans les politiques publiques britanniques. Nous souhaitons ainsi repenser les transformations de l’action publique et de l’État, notamment dans les secteurs qui ont connu des réformes (santé, logement, éducation, énergie et politique de la ville), face aux impératifs tels que la « dévolution », la pression des dynamiques commerciales internationales, ou encore l’influence croissante de l’Union européenne et d’agences intergouvernementales. La perspective des élections législatives à venir nous invite à dresser un bilan des recherches portant sur la gestion des politiques publiques en civilisation britannique.

Governance and Public Policies in the Contemporary United Kingdom

The purpose of this conference is to study the notion of governance in a specific time and space context: the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2014. The evolution of governance in British public policies will be questioned. Participants will be invited to rethink the transformations of public and State action, especially in the sectors that have been reformed (health, housing, education, energy and urban policy), faced with the imperatives of “devolution”, pressure from international trade dynamics, and the growing influence of the European Union and intergovernmental agencies. The forthcoming general elections provide an opportunity to take stock of the research on public policy management in the field of British studies.

The Liberal Party in Britain : Past and Present

Le Parti libéral, majoritaire en 1906, devient minoritaire à partir de 1910. Le gouvernement est néanmoins resté aux mains de libéraux, au moins partiellement, jusqu’en 1924. De même, membre de la coalition gouvernementale en 2010, le Parti libéral n’a pas été sans influence sous les gouvernements précédents. L'histoire se répète-t-elle ? Les pistes qui seront explorées sont celles qui permettent d’expliquer pourquoi et à quel moment, le parti libéral a perdu le pouvoir, et, pourquoi et à quel moment, il l’a retrouvé.
