A Political History of Public Debts (Europe and the United States, since the Late Eighteenth Century)
This is call for papers for a symposium to be held in Paris in June 2013. Its main theme is a political history of public debts since the end of the eighteenth century. Organized as a workshop, this symposium aims to explore the public debt as the locus for political debates and conflicts. Our goal is to bring together various case studies, using different approaches, but all analyzing aspects of the link between politics (especially in its social or participative dimensions) and the indebtedness of states. This should help shed new light on such central concepts for our understanding of the modern political world as sovereignty, citizenship, democracy, and solidarity. -

St. Louis, Senegal, and New Orleans
The Comparative and Linked History of Two Port Cities on Each Side of the Atlantic, 17th to 21st Centuries
Fondées respectivement en 1659 et en 1718 à proximité de l’embouchure des fleuves Sénégal et Mississippi, Saint-Louis et La Nouvelle-Orléans sont deux villes importantes du monde atlantique, de la diaspora africaine et de l’empire français du XVIIe au XXe siècle. Elles partagent une histoire commune autour de la traite, de l’esclavage, de la colonisation française et de leurs héritages. Il existe ainsi de nombreuses connections et résonances entre l’histoire de ces deux cités portuaires. Bien qu’elles occupent chacune une place singulière au Sénégal, aux États-Unis et au sein de la francophonie, Saint-Louis et La Nouvelle-Orléans n’ont pourtant jamais été étudiées dans une perspective d’histoire comparée et croisée sur la longue durée.
