Women and Violence in the Late Medieval Mediterranean, ca. 1100-1500
A two-days international conference
The last decades have witnessed an increased interest in research on the relationship between women and violence in the Middle Ages, with new works both on female criminality and on women as victims of violence. The contributions of gender theory and feminist criminology have renewed the approached used in this type of research. Nevertheless, many facets of the complex relationship between women and violence in medieval times still await to be explored in depth. This conference aims to understand how far the roots of modern assumptions concerning women and violence may be found in the late medieval Mediterranean, a context of intense cultural elaboration and exchange which many scholars have indicated as the cradle of modern judicial culture. While dialogue across the Mediterranean was constant in the late Middle Ages, occasions for comparative discussion remain rare for modern-day scholars, to the detriment of a deeper understanding of the complexity of many issues. Thus, we encourage specialists of different areas across the Mediterranean (Western Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic world) to contribute to the discussion. What were the main differences and similarities? How did these change through time? What were the causes for change? Were coexisting assumptions linking femininity and violence conflicting or collaborating?

Three-day international conference on the Photobook
This conference is on the social history of the photobook, whether photographer-driven, writer-driven, editor-driven, or publisher-driven. Papers will address: commitment or explicit political engagement; memory, commemoration and the writing of history; materiality (whether real or virtual), and how material form affects circulation, handling, critical responses and the social life of the photobook. Contributors will analyse these topics with respect to the growth of the market for the photobook as a commodity and an object of bibliophilic attention.

Kolloquium - Neuere und Zeitgeschichte
Industrial vigilantism, strikebreaking and patterns of anti-labour violence, 1890s-1930s
The conference is open to multi-disciplinary approaches and to both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In particular, it will explore the complex relationships between private agencies, semi-public groups, and local and national police authorities. One particular focus will be the development of organizational forms of strike-breaking, notably through the emergence of self- defence groups and community police patrols during or in anticipation of strikes. The conference will also explore the role of ideologies and emotions in the generation of violence, whereby groups felt legitimized in their decisions to defend social order, state authority and economic freedom. Such actions were often simultaneously local as well as national, and national as well as international.

The study of scents and all things olfactory is currently thriving, a sign of the great interest that our information-based societies feel for a sense which seems to offer a direct and immediate experience of reality. The conference The Mediality of Smells aims to develop the nascent interdisciplinary exchange around smells by examining the question of the media and the possible mediatisation of smells.

Colloque en l'honneur de Laurence Brockliss et Colin Jones
À l’occasion du vingtième anniversaire de la publication de ce livre et du départ en retraite de Laurence W. Brockliss, des collègues et anciens étudiants ont souhaité organisé un colloque en leur honneur. Ce livre représente un apport majeur à l’histoire de la médecine en intégrant les aspects sociaux, institutionnels et intellectuels pour construire une histoire renouvelée des savoirs à l’époque moderne. Il croise également les approches intellectuelles et culturelles des traditions historiographiques française et britannique et constitue un encouragement pour poursuivre ces échanges intellectuels.

Rationalité généalogique et statut social au temps des Lumières
La généalogie est un puissant idiome de hiérarchisation sociale dans l'Europe d'Ancien Régime et garde son efficace bien au delà des transformations sociales portées par l'âge des Lumières. On s'interrogera dès lors sur les transformations qu'a subies, dans l’espace temporel qui va de Fénelon à Kant, cette forme particulière de connaissance qu’est la raison généalogique, ainsi que les usages qu’en faisaient les différents acteurs sociaux.

The Commons, plant breeding and agricultural research
How to face the challenges of an increasing world population ant the preservation of agrobiodiversity
The joint challenges of food safety and conservation of agrobiodiversity are making us rethink the issue of agricultural production. We have to produce more, but especially better in order to sustain biological diversity, mitigate climate change and adapt to it. This prospect urgently calls for the development of a sustainable crop production system that relies less on natural resources (soils, wateraquifer), fertilizers and protection products. There are probably many ways to address these challenges, and it is undisputed that science and technology have a major role to play in this respect.

Crisis Legislation, Emergencies and the Rule of Law
Les modifications législatives et constitutionnelles en cours en France, appartiennent à une catégorie juridique qui pourrait être dénommée « législations de crise ». Bien que se référant parfois au vocabulaire de l’état d’exception, mobilisant ses arguments politiques et philosophiques, ces législations pourraient ne plus appartenir à cette catégorie. Là où l’état d’exception peut être défini comme une suspension de la légalité, les lois adoptées dans plusieurs pays après des attaques terroristes, traduisent une légalisation de l’exception qui aboutit à une dilution de celle-ci dans l’ordre juridique. L’état de droit n’est plus suspendu : l'état de droit est modifié et l'exception devient la règle. L’objectif de cette journée d'étude organisée dans une perspective comparatiste est d’interroger cette modification, non pas nécessairement pour l’évaluer mais pour la penser en révélant l'inadaptation des catégories juridiques et philosophiques traditionnelles à un monde politique nouveau.

Gender, Women and the Conservative Party, 1880s to the Present
This two-day international conference explores the relationship between women and conservatism since the late 19th century. In the media frenzy and the re-enactment of the visceral political divisions of the 1980s that greeted the death of Margaret Thatcher in April, 2013, it soon became clear that Britain’s first woman Prime Minister was being portrayed as an aberrant figure who had emerged from a party of men. It appeared that the media and the public had not been well enough served by academics in making sense of and contextualizing the Thatcher phenomenon and, more broadly, the paradoxical sexual politics of the Right.

Comment écrire la Grande Guerre ?
Poétiques francophones et anglophones
L'objet de ce colloque international sera d'interroger, à travers des perspectives littéraires, historiques, stylistiques et linguistiques, les littératures de témoignage anglophones et francophones de la Grande Guerre, en éclairant les moyens que mobilisèrent les écrivains pour répondre aux bouleversements occasionnés par le conflit. Une attention particulière sera accordée aux évolutions de la langue, des genres ou encore du personnel romanesque, mais aussi à leurs permanences respectives, tout aussi instructives dans l'optique d'une saisie des enjeux éthiques, esthétiques et politiques de la période.

Kolloquium - Neuere und Zeitgeschichte
Littérature, espace(s) public(s) et démocratie
The important roles played by literature and by autonomous frameworks of discussion in the formation of a democratic public space, in Europe at the time of the Enlightenment, are well known. How can we, in a now globalized world, rethink the question of possible links between literature and democracy – whether we define the latter as a form of society (the exchange of words and discourses), a problem, or a moment in time? How can we define the place of literature in the public space as it is now configured?

Climat et temps : la science comme culture publique
Communication scientifique et son histoire – III
This conference is the third in a series devoted to historical and contemporary perspectives on the communication of science and technology. Climate and weather provide a particularly rich and challenging case study to complete the conference series. As with other disciplines studied during the previous conferences, the climate sciences are characterised by complexity: in their professional networks; their conceptual models; and the logistics of their large-scale data and computing needs. Yet few modern scientific disciplines attract the same level of public engagement, in both everyday life and passionate debate on the future of the planet. Moreover, their status at the intersection of policy, scientific controversy and the public sphere is not a recent development: the same issues and fault lines ran through meteorology from the 18th-century onwards. Shifting interests within the history of science and the development of environmental history have greatly expanded the field in recent years. The conference will provide an opportunity to reflect on these historiographical developments via a specific focus on the communication of weather and climate from the 18th to the 21st centuries. The conference will address three themes in particular: Commodification of meteorological knowledge, Media, and Historicizing climate history. -

Dispute between Philosophers or Dispute over Philosophy?
Debates over Moral and Political Philosophy in the 17th Century
L’étude des querelles de philosophie qui ont durablement marqué l’époque moderne, à un moment (le XVIIe siècle) où la question de la méthode de découverte et de démonstration de la vérité se trouvait reprise à nouveaux frais, est susceptible de faire apparaître la mise en place de modèles alternatifs, irréductibles aussi bien à la forme scolaire de la disputatio qu’à la forme dialogique ou dialectique du débat humaniste, et dépassant par ailleurs le cadre du seul affrontement polémique. Pour essayer de cerner ces formes émergentes de la dispute à l’époque moderne, notre colloque se propose de limiter le champ de réflexion aux querelles d’ordre moral et politique, plus à même de rendre possible la généralisation d’un nouveau mode de codification de la dispute que ne le feraient les querelles spécifiquement métaphysiques ou physiques. -

New Perspectives on Visuality in the History of Science
The workshop will feature four sessions dedicated to some of the most important or well developed areas of visual studies of science: 1 “The making and materiality of visual objects”, includes the materials, techniques, tools and practices involved in the making of visual objects and their conservation; 2 “The circulation of images and of visual cultures” for instance among scientific practitioners, printers, engravers, draughtsmen, and different publics, but also across different publications; 3 “The uses and politics of the image” focuses on the intended functions of images e.g. in science popularization or teaching but also on their less intended uses in other realms and by other publics; and 4 "Images as epistemic objects” asks what roles images and visual objects play in scientific epistemology, e.g. as visual evidence.
