    Inventing traditions in a dis:connected world. Self-Fashioning and nation-building in the age of Empire 1860s – 1960s

    The conference intends to examine the relation between nation-building, scholarly research, and class from a global historical perspective. It aims for exploring the possibilities of how to write the history of ‘imagined communities’ (Anderson 1983) or ‘invention of traditions’ (Hobsbawm and Ranger 1983) after the global turn. Moreover, it aims for linking these concepts to those of ‘the denial of coevalness’ (Fabian 1983) and ‘futures past’ (Koselleck 1983), The conference will thus discuss the pathways, power struggles, and (re-)negotiations of nation-building and similar forms of community-fashioning in different world regions.

    Among Empires. Transimperial circulation of political models and scientific knowledge

    The case of four “latecomers” (Germany, Italy, Belgium and Japan), 1880s-1940s

    We seek original contributions that, through the lens of the politics of comparison, focus on four “latecomer empires,” namely Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Japan that started their colonial expansion at the end of the nineteenth century. In these countries and their colonies and protectorates, heated debates took place around the search for (historical or current foreign) models, and politicians, activists, and intellectuals often demanded the transimperial circulation of colonial knowledge, be it legal, political, or scientific. In particular, we are interested in two distinct yet bordering fields: models of colonial policies from a global perspective and transimperial circulation of colonial knowledge in scientific fields such as medicine, agronomy, anthropology, legal culture, etc.

    Dark Networks

    Imaginaries of Shady Connections and the Global Underworld from the Nineteenth Century to the Present

    Observers of modern life have not always been optimistic about transnational connections. From the nineteenth century to the present day, the cosmopolitan ideal of a united world has been challenged by widespread anxieties about mysterious and dangerous networks. This exploratory conference critically examines the cultural and political significance of these imaginaries of dark networks from the nineteenth century to the present. Drawing on a series of historical case studies, we suggest to take three key features as a point of departure: figures such as traffickers, clandestine migrants, or spies; spaces such as ports, borderlands, or tunnels; and goods such as weapons, counterfeit money, or revolutionary pamphlets.

    A polycentric war and its narratives

    A new approach to the Thirty Years War

    This conference is therefore intended to analyze the Thirty Years War from a polycentric perspective that is focused on the evolution and the impact of the contemporary news market. Contributions most welcome being concerned with the entanglement of regional conflicts, the polycentric character of the war, the analysis of the war news market, the development of narratives that had an impact on the behavior of the contemporaries, their self-perception and their attitude towards the military conflicts.

    Expressivity, Bodies and Language in the Twenty-First Century

    This two-day event will consider all contributions addressing “in the flesh” effects and characteristics of language, highlighting the way bodies can be affected by – or pulled into – linguistic forms, whether negatively, positively, or else, with an eye to assessing in turn the impact of such bodily effects on decision-making and/or state of mind (Bottineau 2008). The sources of analysis need to be language-based (discourse of any genre or interactions of any kind) but the corpora can be found on a wide variety of media (online discourse, forums, interviews, fictional discourse, etc.).

    Joachim Trier

    Urban Memories

    Joachim Trier is one of the most internationally acclaimed contemporary Nordic filmmakers, and his cinema is a particularly interesting subject for researchers in film studies and Nordic studies. His cinema is an invitation to explore Norwegian culture, as it allows us to discover Oslo and its contemporary art scene. What's more, he tackles Norwegian social issues that have an international echo: the issues of sexuality today, our relationship with drink or melancholy, freedom of expression and lifestyle choices, etc. In this regard, he has developed one of the finest artworks to catch the urban individual. This international conference is an opportunity to bring together a group of international experts in Paris.

    Extreme right and democracy in Europe after the Second World War

    Coexistences, contrasts, contradictions

    It seems urgent to reflect on how democracies have responded to the presence of extreme right-wing movements, both in terms of political practices and rhetoric. Have democracies actively opposed the extreme right, or have they opted for strategies of containment and coexistence? Equally important is to examine the perspective of the extreme right: how has it interpreted and narrated the (supposed) coexistence with the democratic system? How has it dealt with the legacy of fascism and to what extent has it adapted to the culture of democracy?

    Emerging Technologies in Communication: Best Practices and Theoretical Frameworks for Professional Success

    Communication practitioners are now faced with difficult questions regarding which of emerging technologies can substantially improve their workflow and which only add to the technological noise interfering with the essence of their work. Even if productivity considerations have encouraged the adoption of Artificial Inteligence systems in many areas of professional communication, it is still not certain which tasks can be safely delegated to the technological systems, if one takes into account their oscillating levels of accuracy. As concerns for end-product quality increase in many areas, it becomes clear that most of these new options need a substantial amount of supervision and correction on the part of human professionals. The conference call is thus emphasizing the need to examine theories, concepts, ideas for best practices, and attempts to understand the changing parameters for professional success.
