Decentring the “Flâneur”: walking the early modern city
Ideas about the origins and context for the flâneur have been tied to Paris, and viewed through the lens of Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project. While Benjaminian orthodoxy has increasingly been challenged, the association of the flâneur with modernity and European cities has continued to dominate studies of its variant forms. This conference aims to de-centre the concept and expand such critique by identifying and analysing forms of pedestrian observation in the early modern period taking note of the fact that strolling, seeing and being seen—and walking the city—emerged well before Europe and the 19th century in urban experiences in cities like Istanbul, Isfahan, Delhi and Beijing.

Urban and architectural identities in Mediterranean cities
Identités urbaines et architecturales dans les villes méditerranéennes
The architectural and urban diversity characterising mediterranean city is inseparable from their identity. It seems clear at that this diversity and multiplicity of different identities shoud be considered as one of the greatest cultural and human values. The coexistence of forms in time and space, the blending of urban and architectural cultures, influences and contaminations, even the contrast and and contradictions of identity that are revealed in the mediterranean urban territory reflect the stratification of the city in its pragmatics implications and its identity meanings. Today, in a context of a competition and attractiveness betwen territories, several mediterranean cities are going through a period of profound changes. Faced with these transformations, the reference to "identity territories" (Troin, 2004) and the ability of the city to build an identity and speared it among the population are called into question.

Limits of the western police model in China
In the past 20 years, the Research Center on Shanghai History (ECNU) and the Lyon Institute of East Asian Studies (IAO) have established close cooperative relations : joint projects, joint publications, joints conferences, as well as the co-training of graduate students have become significant and regular markers of increasingly close relationships. On this basis we hope to further co-promote Shanghai and Tianjin as centers of new urban history and social order. This project will avail new archival materials (municipalities archives), memoirs of policemen, photography, illustrated journals, correspondances, police reports etc…

Military orders and territoriality - between the East and West
Entre Orient et Occident
Nous proposons ici, non pas d’envisager une étude exhaustive et globale de la relation des ordres militaires à la territorialité, mais plutôt de réfléchir sur les dimensions qu’elle recouvre, d’essayer de discerner les particularités qui lui sont propres, les caractéristiques des implantations des ordres, variables selon le niveau d’échelle, la zone géographique et la société considérés. Afin de tenir compte de ces spécificités inhérentes au rapport, conscient ou non, que les ordres militaires entretiennent avec les territoires qu’ils occupent (envisagés dans leurs dimensions sociales, humaines, économiques, juridiques, matérielles, culturelles, etc.), même partiellement et pour une durée variable, ainsi que la manière dont leur présence s’inscrit dans ces lieux, plusieurs axes et directions, évidemment liés les uns aux autres et en interaction constante, sont soumis à la réflexion des participants.

Disqualification socio-spatiale dans les villes françaises et japonaises
Regards croisés entre l’histoire et la sociologie
Organisé par deux établissements de recherche, l’École des hautes études en sciences sociales (Paris) et l’université de la Ville d’Osaka (Japon), ce colloque se propose de réfléchir à la disqualification socio-spatiale dans les villes françaises et japonaises. Du point de vue sociologique, historique et sociolinguistique, nous entendons donner l’occasion dans ce colloque de discuter de ce thème à travers la question de la pauvreté, de l’immigration, de la marginalité urbaine, de la banlieue, de l’intégration et du colonialisme, et de comparer les situations au Japon et en France du XIXe siècle à nos jours.

L’échange architectural : Europe et Extrême-Orient (1550-1950)
Ce colloque international sera l’occasion d’examiner la question des échanges opérés dans le domaine architectural entre Europe et Extrême-Orient au cours de la période 1550-1950. A priori, on peut supposer que, s’agissant de deux mondes éloignés, et entrés tardivement en contact direct et régulier, l’identification de ce qui est échangé devrait s’en trouver facilitée. Pourtant, s’il semble évident de reconnaître une forteresse néerlandaise en Indonésie, des églises jésuites en Chine, une pagode chinoise en Angleterre, ou un pavillon de thé japonais en France, il est difficile d’analyser ce qui s’est passé chaque fois, ce qui a été transmis ou emprunté, et comment cet échange a pu se produire et avoir lieu. Il est donc nécessaire de procéder à une enquête portant à la fois sur les causes et le contenu de l’échange.

Second World Urbanity: Between Capitalist and Communist Utopias
Second World Urbanity: Between Capitalist and Communist Utopias seeks to investigate the history of the radical reshaping of the Soviet World (in our words - the Second World), that Ada Louise Huxtable reported on in the late 1960s. This project aims to bring together scholarly contributions on the various endeavors in the Second World to conceive, build, and inhabit a socialist cityscape that was an alternative to the segregated spaces of capitalist cities and the atomized world of suburbia. Imagining and designing urban space were undeniably powerful instruments of forging socialist modernity. Second World Urbanity pays close attention to the tensions between global challenges and locally driven agendas that made architects, planners, and ordinary dwellers alter socialist modernity according to more particular interests. -

Ottoman Urban Studies Seminar (2009-2010)
Post-Ottoman Cities
What is the historical experience of cities in the former territories of the Ottoman Empire - in the Balkans, Anatolia, the Middle East, and North Africa - in dealing with the impact of global changes and the transformation from Empire to nation States? How did people of different cultural, social and religious backgrounds live together? How are such examples of conviviality, conflict, migration, and urban regimes of governance and stratification conceptualized? And how have urban traditions been reinterpreted, and what bearing does this have on modern conceptions of civil society, multicultural societies, migration, or cosmopolitanism. These and other questions will be addressed in this year’s Seminar in Ottoman Urban Studies. Séminaire organisé par Ulrike Freitag et Nora Lafi. -

Daily Life in Ottoman Towns
What is the historical experience of cities in the former territories of the Ottoman Empire - in the Balkans, Anatolia, the Middle East, and North Africa - in dealing with the impact of global changes and the transformation from Empire to nation States? How did people of different cultural, social and religious backgrounds live together?

And how have urban traditions been reinterpreted, and what bearing does this have on modern conceptions of civil society, multicultural societies, migration, or cosmopolitanism. These and other questions will be addressed in this year’s Seminar in Ottoman Urban Studies, with a specific focus on daily life issues. This seminar is supported by the research program ‘Europe in the Middle East – The Middle East in Europe’ EUME with funds of the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung. -

Bourgeois Seas. Revisiting the middle classes of Eastern Mediterranean Port Cities
Although there has recently been a notable surge of interest in the study of non-European middle classes as well as of Eastern Mediterranean port cities, most historians working on the field of the Eastern Mediterranean rarely treat port cities as sites where classes were formed and contested and where bourgeoisies asserted their class hegemony. This conference aims at bringing these two critical trends together. Following recent historiographical trends proposals are invited on any port city of the Eastern Mediterranean during the long nineteenth century, until about the aftermath of the First World War.
