  How do we globalize the long eighteenth century?

  Quelle globalisation pour le long XVIIIe siècle ?

  Every student of the 17th or 18th century encounters in his or her own way the global historical dimensions of the more or less ‘domestic’ (provincial, national) subject being addressed. For decades, perhaps, many of us ignored these ramifications, which among other things were hard to treat because we are generally hardpressed to bring to such subjects the kind of specialized knowledge we are used to. (There are of course exceptions, involving colleagues who consciously adopt a global approach, e.g. Atlantic studies, though even these are no doubt truncated in different ways.) In all, the global was not an ‘aporia’ of our studies, so much as something more or less difficult to draw into the discussion and, in that sense, an ‘impensé’.

  Symposium 2010

  Ce colloque international, organisé par Jan Blanc (Université de Lausanne) et Pascal Griener (Université de Neuchâtel), à Lausanne et à Genève, du 16 au 18 septembre 2010, est le premier événement scientifique organisé en Suisse autour de la carrière, de l’œuvre et de l’univers de Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792). Il est aussi l’un des premiers, depuis la dernière grande exposition rétrospective consacré au premier Président de la Royal Academy, à Londres et à Paris (1986), à faire le point des recherches et des travaux les plus récents sur le peintre et son temps.
