Study days - History

The Iberian East Indies

Frontiers, Actors, Dynamics

The historiography of imperial Spain and of the Iberian-initiated first globalization has recently been renewed by the study of exchanges between Asia and America and of the Spanish Pacific. The purpose of this one-day seminar is to further this historiographical renewal and to shed some new light on the Iberian East Indies, at a time when Spain and Portugal were the two main European powers in the region. The focus will be put on exchanges, dynamics of cooperation and rivalry between empires and also between various key actors: missionaries, merchants, soldiers and officials. The aim is thus to improve our understanding of the multiple connections between the Asian territories of both empires.

Noms de dieux !

Who named the gods? Utterers, addressers, ritual agents

The ERC MAP Seminar “The Names of the Gods! 5: Who named the gods? Utterers, addressers, ritual agents” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine. This year, it focuses on the human agents in the process of naming the divine, whether they are producers of a discourse on the deities, addressers in a communication with the deities, or even experts in charge of a ritual knowledge. What agency do men and women exercise in the production of a specific denomination of the divine? How can we question their choices, their anchoring in a tradition or their innovation strategies?

Logics, stakes and limits of cultural heritage transmission in Eurasia

The thematic issue is about cultural heritage and patrimonialization. It aims at comparing the varying notions of “tradition” and “safeguarding of culture” within an empirical approach.We focus on conflicts about the creation of culture and how these globalised and specific contexts shape a changing self-perception of “ethnic identity” in Northern Asia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe.The articles may be on local as well as global expressions of cultural heritage: poetical genre, engraving or wood carving, architecture, ethno-parks or ecomuseums, cultural tourism, opposition to projects of valorization, etc. Analysis may also focus on the role of actors involved in local projects, on historical contexts or on international fashions.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology

From quarries to rock-cut sites. Echoes of stone crafting

The conference aims at carrying on the international debate on the archaeological investigation of rock-cut spaces and stone quarries, considered as aspects of the same mining phenomenon: places in which specific empirical and handcrafted knowledge related to stone working is expressed and conveyed. The conference envisages a diachronic approach and therefore all case studies are welcome, without chronological limits.

Metropolises versus medium towns and territories: an absurd debate?

Ce numéro de la RIURBA propose de discuter de la pertinence des distinctions et catégorisations opérées entre « métropoles », « villes moyennes », « petites villes » ou encore « territoires » aujourd’hui. Les débats, scientifiques tout comme politiques, sont anciens à ces sujets, mais réifiés récemment par le contexte de la pandémie. Ce numéro privilégiera les articles à dimension épistémologique et méthodologique, ceux qui affronteront des questions précises ou analyseront des cas spécifiques plutôt que de contribuer à grands débats surplombants. Il accueillera très volontiers les travaux concernant d’autres pays que la France.

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.

Before the Anthropocene: Medieval concepts of interdependent human-nature-relations

Ces dernières années, l'histoire du climat et la climatologie historique se sont essentiellement concentrées sur les impacts économiques et sociaux des changements climatiques de long terme, comme ceux qui se sont produits pendant l'Anomalie climatique médiévale ou le Petit âge glaciaire. Néanmoins, les préoccupations contemporaines concernant le changement climatique global ont posé de nouvelles questions urgentes aux historiens du climat : Comment les sociétés du passé ont-elles perçu les périodes de changement climatique rapide ? Dans quelle mesure ont-elles été affectées, non seulement sur le plan économique, mais aussi dans leur réflexion sur la relation entre l'homme et la nature ?

Conference, symposium - Psyche

Racism and anti-racism: a pluridisciplinary clinical approach

Étudier, dans une perspective de sociologie clinique, l’articulation racisme / antiracisme, tel est l’objet de ce colloque. Des recherches récentes, produites au sein de cette approche, ont permis d’identifier des processus de racisation, au niveau individuel et collectif. Ces travaux participent à rendre compte des modalités selon lesquelles fonctionnent le couple racisme / antiracisme, aux plans sociétal, institutionnel, organisationnel, groupal et individuel. L’enjeu de ce colloque sera d’approfondir la compréhension des relations racisme / antiracisme, relations qui seront abordées selon différents axes et différents contextes géographico-culturels et nationaux, et en tenant compte d’une approche psychosociale ou sociopsychique.

Contemporary art and institutions

Marges journal issue 33

Le mot institution désigne, selon l’une des définitions les plus courantes, un « organisme public ou privé, régime légal ou social, établi pour répondre à quelque besoin déterminé d'une société donnée ». Cette définition suscite des images stéréotypées : bâtiments officiels, bureaux, fonctionnaires, textes réglementaires… Elles s’étendent aux institutions artistiques, couramment associées à des lieux emblématiques – musées, théâtres, académies… –, ainsi qu’à des instances de subvention, de transmission ou de patrimonialisation de l’art. L’institution est parfois vue comme un pur instrument de contrainte normative, lieu de « récupération » voire de répression, opposée caricaturalement à la liberté, à la spontanéité ou à la subversion de l’art. La doxa ajoute parfois que les artistes se battent contre elles avant de les intégrer : signe d’une reconnaissance bien méritée ou de la pire des compromissions. Le but de ce numéro est d’explorer les relations entre la création artistique et les institutions.

The drudges of the Axis : exploitable persecuted persons and ambivalent persecutors during WWII (Asia, Europe, Latin America)

This meeting is a continuation of the UFA (French-German University) Montpellier-Weimar Colloquium "Construction of myths of war heroes (Germany, France, Japan) organized by Philippe Wellnitz and Gérard Siary in Berlin in 2014. After having there discussed the ambivalence in the construction of "war-heroe", this new conference is interested this time in two other ambivalences associated with the Second World War: those of the positioning of certain host states and "the ethics of survival" of persecuted persons who fled from Axis-occupied territories to other Axis-allied or to neutral States.

New approaches to the history of soft power in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries

The study of soft power in the modern period is unequal, with much attention understandably paid to the Cold War when culture offered a surrogate for damaged and blocked political dialogues. But practices that aimed at promoting a nation abroad were not invented after the Second World War, nor were they inexistent before then. Some historians have traced their origins back to the nineteenth century with the formation of nation states (in Europe) and the growth of ministries of foreign affairs. In addition, the historiography has largely omitted soft power policies produced by and targeting so called “periphery countries”. Therefore, much remains to be written if we are to fully appreciate the history of soft power and its associated key concepts (public and cultural diplomacy, propaganda, publicity, promotion, oeuvres -in the French context, public relations) and the multiplicity of meanings with which these ideas and practices were endowed globally throughout the modern period.

The archaeology and anthropology of iron

Ce colloque a pour but de casser le mur érigé entre anthropologie, archéologie et histoire antique autour de la culture du fer. Il fera le point sur l’archéologie du fer dans les pays extra-occidentaux (principalement en Afrique sub-saharienne, mais pas exclusivement) : quelles sont les dernières données scientifiques issues des fouilles archéologiques ou des études de matériel ? qu’apportent les analyses chimiques aux datations et sources géographiques des minerais, mais aussi aux techniques employées pour son raffinage et sa fusion ? quels sont les axes de recherche prioritaires à intensifier ?
