The Invention of Traditions in the United Kingdom and the British Empire, 1840-1940

The year 2023 will mark the fortieth anniversary of the publication of The Invention of Tradition, a collective work edited by Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger. Since this publication, the invention of tradition has become a key concept in cultural studies. While the book edited by Hobsbawm and Ranger brings together contributions on the invention of the Scottish kilt tradition, Welsh national culture, scouting, and British monarchical ceremonies, which cover the period from 1840 to 1914, this conference invites us to explore other invented traditions over a longer period, from the 1840s to the 1940s. It will also analyze the reactivation of certain traditions at key moments in history.

The American Developmental State : The Origins of American Capitalism in Comparative Perspective

How can we best account for the historical trajectory of American capitalism over the “long” nineteenth century ? With this conference we aim to deploy the idea of an “American developmental state” as a lens for investigating the formative years of US capitalism. Now is an opportune moment to reconsider the role of government in US economic history.

Cantieri dell’Agiografia, 7th edition Rome

The Cantieri dell’Agiografia (Hagiography Workshops) aim both at encouraging networking among scholars and at bringing out the most innovative research and methodologies in the field of hagiographical studies. This workshop provides a context in which the participants’ research can be showcased in diachronic and multidisciplinary forms. Participants are encouraged to discuss methodological tools, historical paths, and social and cultural interactions that, over the centuries and up to the present day, have sustained the process of recognition of sanctity, such as cultic practices, places of devotion, and forms of hagiographical communication.

Pastoral academies. A global phenomenon?

The international symposium “Pastoral Academies. A global phenomenon?” offers an opportunity for researchers in literature and history to meet and discuss a phenomenon that has never been studied in its European or even global dimension: the development, from the 16^th to the very early 19^th century, of literary academies or cenacles adopting forms and names taken from bucolic literature.

Insecure Conditions: ‘Precarity’ and ‘Precarisation’ in Contemporary History

18th Potsdam Postgraduate Forum on Contemporary History

At the 18^th Potsdam Postgraduate Forum on Contemporary History, we propose to take the concept of “precarity” as a starting point to inquire into situations of insecure circumstances in contemporary history: (co-)productions and perceptions of them, ways of dealing with them, and their effects on those exposed to them.

Political thought and government in the medieval West: cross-cultural perspectives (11th to early 13th centuries)

L’objectif de ce colloque est de mener une analyse croisée de l’action et de la pensée politique entre le XI^e siècle et le début du XIII^e siècle. Une réflexion d’ensemble, évitant l’écueil de l’opposition entre théorie et pratique politique, est nécessaire pour apporter une perspective novatrice à l’appréhension de la pensée et de l’action politique au cours de ce long XII^e siècle. Cette rencontre convie les participants à réfléchir sur une mise en relation entre des modèles ou des actes gouvernementaux concrets et des considérations plus théoriques et sur l’influence que ces deux éléments structurants pourraient avoir l’un sur l’autre.

Religion in movement. New perspectives in the study of religious History

While the role of the Catholic Church under the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) and the Dictatorship (1939-1975) remain one of the most bitterly contested aspects in public and academic debates, in recent years, the study of religious history has become an increasingly respected as an expanding field of research in Spanish historiography. The foundation of the Asociación Española de Historia Religiosa Contemporánea (AEHRC - Spanish Association of Contemporary Religious History) in 2016 has greatly contributed to this development. The present conference aims to celebrate and continue these efforts. For this reason, the AEHRC would like to invite researchers to join us in the prospect of advancing the state of the art in our field by a) critically evaluating the successes and limitations of current and new perspectives in the study of contemporary religious history; and, in particular, b) by reassessing the processes of secularisation and religious reconfiguration that have shaped the Spanish and Hispanic cases.

From cultural feminism to the ethics of care

Theories and practices of ecofeminist art from the 1970s to the present

À l’heure où les institutions culturelles commencent à mettre en lumière les préoccupations écoféministes dans l’art, il importe de revenir sur l’histoire de ces pratiques pionnières, d’interroger les cadres conceptuels qui ont pu influencer les démarches (spiritualité féministe, théorie du care, etc.) et de réfléchir aux formes artistiques nouvelles que prend le combat écoféministe au XXI^e siècle. Dans cette perspective, cette journée d’étude entend réunir des historiens d’art, des chercheurs, mais aussi des critiques et des artistes, dans le but de définir plus précisément les contours d’une histoire de l’art écoféministe depuis les pratiques pionnières jusqu’aux formes les plus contemporaines.

Strangers and foreigners: hospitality and hostility in Britain, France, and Germany, 1680-1850

The ongoing wars and migrations have foregrounded the issue of the hosting of migrants and the duty of hospitality. This international Early career symposium aims to explore the relationship to foreigners in Germanophone areas, France and Britain (including colonial spaces) from the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685), which provoked international migrations of Protestant refugees, to the revolutions of 1848, which were characterized both by internationalist fervour and by political exiles.

« Youth commitments » Structural constraints, reconfigurations and levers

Eleventh RJS Meeting in europe and around the mediterranean

In what places, with what goals, in what forms, according to what modalities, to what degree and on what scale are young people committed today? What responsibilities do young people take on and intend to pursue in the various classic fields of commitment, such as politics, associations and trade unions? Are the categories of commitment or disengagement relevant to understanding young people’s relationships with the school institution, work and family? What links are forged between different forms and spheres of youth engagement? How do geographical and historical contexts and societal frameworks influence them? Can we observe new modalities, new spaces and specific vectors of commitment or forms of “demobilisation” - or even non-commitment - among young people?

However, if the popularity and impact of this multiform opus seems undeniable, one may wonder why it has not more frequently been the subject of scholarly research. This conference aims to help bridge that gap and to fully understand the importance of the transmedial nature of Maupin’s opus.

Au plus près de l’action : repenser le management public au service de la première ligne

Séminaire francophone du congrès annuel du Groupe européen d’administration publique

Face aux contextes de crises et à la croissance des besoins, les services publics se trouvent confrontés à des contraintes budgétaires certes, mais aussi sur les ressources naturelles et l’énergie et sur les compétences et l’endurance physique et morale des agents. Des appels à la préservation de services « vitaux », « essentiels », « de première ligne » se font entendre. Mais quelle en est la substance et la nouveauté ? Peut-on comparer les intentions politiques actuelles avec des réformes administratives passées ? Comment les tendances managériales actuelles – gouvernance collaborative, aplatissement des structures, digitalisation des services, notamment – influencent-elles l’action publique ? Enfin et surtout, quelle serait la soutenabilité dans la durée des solutions proposées ? La pénurie des ressources est-elle une barrière ou un facteur de résilience ? Ou pourraient-elles, a contrario, engendrer des effets négatifs : détérioration des services, abandons de mission, effets régressifs sur les citoyens les plus pauvres ou fragiles et les plus dépendants des services publics ?

Spotlight on the mine

When cinema and literature take hold of the subject

To celebrate the Mines in the movies exhibition, the Centre Historique Minier has sought to open up this issue to other coal-mining areas, as it has grown accustomed to doing when addressing themes at the heart of mining culture, for an international symposium. In the contemporary era, mining has formed the subject of numerous artistic performances, particu-larly in the fields of writing and literature (mine novel, testimony, poetry, comic strip …), on the one hand, as well as in the world of cinema and audiovisual arts (fiction, documentary, animated film …). These representations have served as a place of artistic innovation, as well as a medium for mass culture (which developed alongside the mining industry), to such an extent that veritable sub-genres (the mine novel, the mine film) have been created, each with their own archetypes.

Wandering Heritage

Cultural routes and heritage in the move

For a long time associated with the place or the closed space of a territory that contains it and that it emblematizes, heritage has never ceased to be mobile. It is what passes through time, what passes from generation to generation. It is transformed from generation to generation. It is also the shadow of every traveler, accompanying him or her in the territories s/he travels through, distinguishing him/her from what surrounds him/her.

Circumferences of improvisation : forming bodies differently

Improvisation in the various performing arts (dance, music, theater, etc.) seems to present a heterogeneous multiplicity, and each time singular, of forms, including correlatively to the framework in which it occurs: according to whether it is in particular a workshop improvisation, or a performance improvisation. Usually, we like to make distinctions by evoking "free" improvisations and "structured" improvisations, or "solo" improvisations and "group" improvisations, etc. However, don't these linguistic conveniences actually betray a specificity of the improvised experience, unsuited in its discursive structuring to these conceptual divisions? In other words, wouldn't the improvised experience deconstruct, by nature, the very opposition between genres by rejecting any binarism? To do this, we have chosen to analyze the central theme of the "body of improvisation" under three specific axes: the axis of the learned and the popular ; the axis of the voluntary and the involuntary; and the axis of the individual and the collective.
