Art Markets : An Integrated Perspective 2020
International Summer School - Antwerp-Brussels July 6-10, 2020
Inspired by the success of the first Art Markets Summer School held in Lyon in June 2019, a second edition of this unique research, training and networking experience will take place in July 2020 in Belgium. A team of international experts from relevant fields such art history, economics, sociology, finance and digital humanities will engage with participants with an academic or professional interest in the global art market. An exciting program combining lectures, workshops and field trips will familiarize the participants with the nature and structure of the art market system. Attention will be given to the theoretical and conceptual frameworks, the various actors in the art market and the available methodological tools to study this fascinating yet complex phenomenon. This immersive experience will inspire and shape new interdisciplinary thinking about the emergence, history and dynamics of art markets around the world.

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.

“For the World’s Benefit” : Transnational Perspectives on the First Century of the Panama Canal
The centennial of the canal’s inauguration provides an opportunity to renew inquiry about Panama’s mission of “service to the world”, as the country’s national motto states. The colloquium approaches the history of the canal in light of recent efforts to promote “global”, “connected” or “transnational” history. It aims both to reassess the geopolitics of the canal’s control and to explore a broad range of social and cultural phenomena that have taken shape through the canal’s construction and use. Alongside diplomats, soldiers and journalists, who figured prominently in international relations, engineers and juristsput forward the professional dimension of international cooperation. Last but not least, the colloquium seeks to shed light on how travellers and laborers appropriated the canal and interpreted the “service of the world”.

The innovation in the physical and sports activities of mountain in the XXth and XXIth centuries
Journées d'Etude
En raison des territoires dans lesquels les activités de pleine nature s’exercent, des significations qu’elles promeuvent et de leurs situations dans le champ sportif, elles conduisent à développer des perspectives intéressantes concernant les enjeux de leur développement. Centré sur les pratiques de montagne, il s'agira d'étudier les innovations dont elles sont porteuses en particulier au niveau des mécanismes d’adaptation d’ordre économique, politique, social ou culturel tant au niveau de leur exercice qu’au plan de leur inscription spatiale (et donc territoriale) et temporelle. -

Lausanne
Jusqu’à présent, la recherche historique n’a pas accordé beaucoup d’intérêt au tourisme, en dépit de son importance sociale, technique et économique, qui est considérable, en particulier pour le développement de certaines régions. Si le tourisme est désormais bien analysé en tant que conséquence d’évolutions sociales et économiques (urbanisation, société de loisirs, révolution des transports), son rôle dans la transformation des sociétés européennes, puis extra-européennes, mérite d’être analysé plus en détail. Le colloque, organisé à l'Université de Lausanne (Suisse) du 10 au 12 novembre 2011, a pour ambition de sortir d'une approche segmentée en invitant les historiens de l’économie, mais aussi de la mobilité, de l’hôtellerie, de l’urbanisme, des loisirs, de la santé, etc., à une réflexion globale sur le tourisme comme facteur de transformation des sociétés. -
