Collecting impressionism - international digital conference
Colloque international numérique
Le colloque abordera le collectionnisme impressionniste sous un angle jusqu’ici peu exploré : le collectionneur et sa collection en lien avec son époque et son contexte politique, social et économique, et ce à une échelle internationale. Le collectionneur est ancré dans des réseaux d’acteurs, aussi bien privés qu’institutionnels et l'ambition de ce colloque est de contribuer à identifier ces acteurs, à mettre en lumière leurs relations et à les situer dans les mondes de l’art moderne.

Rethinking tobacco history: Commodities, empire and agency in global perspective, 1780–1960
Tobacco was one of the most important globally traded commodities from the 17th century through to the present day, and yet it has received relatively little attention in the historiography of modern empires in comparison to other commodities, such as sugar or cotton. As a result, recent approaches to rewriting the history of European imperialism from a more global perspective have hardly been problematized with regard to the peculiarities of tobacco history. Nowadays, studies no longer understand empire as a rigid relationship between metropole and colonies, but take the dynamics of actors within an empire as seriously as the networks and global processes that crossed imperial borders, or indeed lay beyond them. The conference starts from this assumption.

Behind the curtain? Representations of poverty in Europe in the modern era
L’objectif de ce colloque est de rassembler des chercheurs qui ont fait de l'image du pauvre et de la pauvreté dans les arts visuels, l'histoire des représentations et la littérature un sujet d'étude en soi. Il s'agira notamment d'évaluer, à l'échelon européen, l'impact d'une production significative bien que rarement prise en compte, d’analyser son iconographie et d’en cerner le sens, d’en préciser les débouchés, les discours et leurs enjeux (comiques, sentimentaux, économiques, religieux, politiques etc.) à la lumière d’éléments contextuels précis.

Francoism, its image and policies of influence in France (1936-1975)
Cette journée d’étude entend interroger la politique d’influence du régime franquiste en France de la guerre civile jusqu’à la fin du régime, en 1975. Il s’agit de s’intéresser à la construction de son image publique destinée à traverser la frontière pyrénéenne et à sa réception sur le sol français. Si les évolutions internes du régime franquiste (guerre civile, premier et second franquisme) ont joué un rôle déterminant dans sa politique menée en France, les évolutions sur le territoire français ont joué un rôle tout aussi important. C’est ce phénomène d’interdépendance, ce jeu de miroir entre France et Espagne, que cette journée d’étude souhaite mettre en lumière.

Art with or without the art market
Le marché de l’art contemporain a connu une croissance extrêmement forte ces dernières décennies, non pas seulement pour des raisons purement artistiques mais surtout du fait de la spéculation financière. La question se pose de savoir s’il est encore possible de parler d’art contemporain sans mentionner les sommes importantes qu’il véhicule. Le développement hyperbolique du marché de l’art contemporain a des conséquences sur les postures et les pratiques de la plupart des acteurs du champ, à commencer par les artistes eux-mêmes. Autrefois, nombre d’entre eux professaient de mépriser le commerce de l’art ; aujourd'hui le succès commercial n’est plus vu comme un gage de médiocritéou une trahison. Comment le marché détermine-t-il l’évolution des productions artistiques ? Est-il réellement devenu le prescripteur principal des valeurs artistiques ? Est-il encore pensable de s'y opposer?

Objects of Exchange. Art and Economic Encounters
Exchange is classically described by economists as a phenomenon of equalization of values within a given system. When heterogeneous orders of economic rationalities meet, material objects and practices come to embody the paradoxes of dissonant exchange. This symposium aims to explore how artifacts and artistic practices have materialized ruptures within, and encounters between, economic systems in the modern and contemporary period.

Conference, symposium - History
This conference is an international symposium that proposes to study the entire range of exchanges and relations established between these two areas during the Early Modern Times (1500-1820). Its main objective is to think about diplomatic, economic, religious and cultural links between Europe and the Middle East by calling upon over twenty researchers with specializations in the Arab, Persian and Muslim world. In addition, this conference will provide a comprehensive overview to date of the Arabian Gulf at a time of major political change, including the successive arrival of the European “trading empires”. It will focus on some of the methodological challenges raised by a global, connected and cross-cultural thinking approach to the History of the Middle East and Europe”.

By looking closely at the relationship—at times friendly, at times not—between France and England through fashion and textiles between 1700 and 1914, this conference will touch on a number of topics, including: the circulation (lawful or illicit) of knowledge, individuals, and objects; the diffusion – and cross-fertilization – of design models between the two countries via press, engravings, or fashion dolls; the importation of textiles and clothing; the phenomena of copying, espionage, and counterfeits; the pursuit of protectionist policies which aimed to limit imports from the rival nation.

Multidisciplinary Approaches to Food and Foodways in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean
Within the rapidly expanding area of research on food and foodways, the medieval eastern Mediterranean is still very much an unexplored area. The aim of the POMEDOR project (People, Pottery and Food in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean) was to explore this new field in a multidisciplinary way and to stimulate further research.

The Smaller European Powers and China in the Cold War, 1949-1989
This international conference aims to examine the policies of the smaller European powers towards China – and vice versa – during the Cold War. Thereby it focuses, on the European side, on both Western and Eastern Europe – regardless of whether a country was part of the NATO or the Warsaw Pact. Meanwhile, on the Chinese side, the conference proposes to include both Chinas, namely the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (RoC). While this should allow for the analysis of different relational constellations, the chronological framework – that ranges from the Communist victory in China in 1949 to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989 – should enable us to identify policy shifts and patterns.

Music-Records-Radio in French-Speaking Countries (1900-1950)
In the space of a few decades, from 1900 to 1950, musicians’ and listeners’ relationship to music was transformed with the advent of records and then the radio. The conference seeks to provide researchers an opportunity to explore collectively the relationship between music, records, and the radio by examining the following issues: the interactions between different forms of media and intermedial transfer; the ways in which composers and performers adapted to the new means of dissemination; and the social, economic, and aesthetic consequences on musical activity with the arrival of records and the radio. Restricting the context to French-speaking countries will make it possible to establish comparisons as well as connections between various record “markets” and the radio networks that developed during the period.

Venetian Commodities, 13th-16th centuries
What are "Venetian" commodities? More than any other medieval or early modern city, Venice lived off of the trade of portable goods. In addition to trading foreign imports, the city also engaged in intense local production, manufacturing high quality glass, crystal, cloth, metal, enamel, leather, and ceramic objects, characterized by their exceedingly rich forms and complex production processes. Today, these objects are scattered in collections throughout the world, but little remains in Venice itself. In individual instances, it is often difficult to tell whether the objects in question were actually made in Venice or if they originated in Byzantine, Islamic, or other European contexts.

The right to a tomb - recruitment and funerals under Antiquity
Le recrutement des ensembles funéraires antiques
Grâce aux efforts conjoints d’archéologues, d’anthropologues, d’historiens et d’épigraphistes, les avancées récentes de la recherche en archéologie funéraire permettent aujourd’hui une bien meilleure connaissance du recrutement des ensembles funéraires antiques, c’est-à-dire de leur composition en termes de sexe et d’âge, mais aussi de statut social et juridique des individus.A partir de différentes études de cas, l’objectif de cette journée d’étude est de proposer quelques pistes de réflexion sur les critères et les motivations de la sélection des individus dans les ensembles funéraires de la Méditerranée antique, à la fois d’un point de vueméthodologique et interprétatif.
