Residue and Oblivion: Manufacturing Toxic Legacies

Cross-reflections based on the exemplary case of asbestos. 20th - 21st centuries

Several studies in environmental history and the sociology of science have already shown how, regarding asbestos as other toxic substances, the narrative of the sudden “awareness” of their harmful effects was a fiction, actually and that a number of stakeholders were well aware of asbestos pathogenic effects as early as the early 20^th century. The circulation and appropriation of this knowledge did not take place in linear fashion. Now, what are the possible trajectories of a toxic substance after it has been banned? This is the question this conference aims to answer.

Le fascisme dans les urnes

Imaginaires politiques, sociologie électorale, pratiques militantes. (Europe, 1918-1945)

Le présent colloque propose de relancer le chantier de la place du vote dans l’accession des mouvements fascistes au pouvoir – ou dans leurs aspirations à le faire – dans l’idée d’éclairer la place de la dynamique électorale dans la faillite des démocraties et leur processus de désintégration. Le cadre chronologique creste celui, strict et traditionnel, des années 1918-1945, où se multiplièrent, partout en Europe, des mouvements fascistes et où s’installèrent dans certains pays, des dictatures fascistes ou des gouvernements autoritaires comportant une composante fasciste. Trois directions principales seront explorées : le programme politique du fascisme, l’histoire matérielle des campagnes électorales et du vote, enfin la sociologie électorale.

Migrating Off the Beaten Path. Europeans and the World at a Time of New Migratory Horizons (1750-1850)

Since 2023, the PIOMIG project “Pioneers of Global Migration (16th- 21st centuries)”, supported by the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de la Société - Sud-Est (MSHS-SE) and the Institut Convergences Migrations (ICM), has been studying so-called “pioneer” migratory phenomena, which lie upstream and on the margins of the major migratory currents already well identified in scholarly literature. After organizing a first workshop, which enabled us to better define this notion (https://epi-revel.univ-cotedazur.fr/publication/pionniers-migrations), we propose to convene a symposium on December 4, 5 and 6, 2025. This symposium will provide an opportunity to present the original material collected and analysed in recent years, and to compare it with other approaches and studies on related subjects.

Exploring the margins of administrative and police archives. New perspectives on social history (20th-21st century)

Workshop organized with the support of Le Mouvement Social, Paris

The workshop, organized with the support of the journal Le Mouvement Social, aims to shed a new light on current discussions about archives and address methodological and epistemological issues in studying marginalized individuals and groups. First, we aim to address marginality as a category of analysis. Second, we encourage reflections on cross-reading administrative and police archives with community archives. Finally, we welcome papers that focus on the materiality of archives.

At the crossroads of the African world: a space for mobility and the emergence of new identities, from prehistoric times to the 21st century

Mobility, one of the fundamental functions of any society, is now a key concept in research into migration in the human and social sciences. In an approach to migration based essentially on identity, security or usefulness, several African, European and American states have adopted immigration laws to limit the movement of people and access to the right of asylum. In the light of current concerns about migration throughout the world, this international symposium in tribute to Professor ALLOU Kouamé René is intended to provide a framework for analysing the migration policies that African governments, whether or not they are subject to the diktat of Western public authorities, are trying to implement in order to remedy these identity crises as part of the construction of the nation-state.

Islam - migration - gender

The “Islam - Migrations - Gender” workshop aims to initiate a dialogue between three fields of research that communicate little: the history of Islam, the history of migrations and the history of gender. The first is too focused on religious dimensions for some, the second is too focused on state control of migration others, and the third is too “militant” for the rest. How, then, can we write a social and cultural history of Muslims in Europe that integrates gender as a category of historical analysis and focuses on the daily lives of the actors, highlighting their “agency”?

Appropriating international spaces and professions. European women and feminists in the 20th century

The workshop focuses on the intersections between the history of international relations, the history of European integration, women’s and gender history, European studies, and gender studies. Since the early 21^st century, historiography on international relations and European integration has undergone profound transformations, enabling the integration of a gender perspective. The workshop has two main objectives. First, it will reassess the field by discussing the theoretical and methodological challenges of approaches at the intersection of the history of international relations, European integration, gender and feminist history, European studies, and gender studies. Second, the workshop will provide a platform for debate around case studies, recent or ongoing empirical work. It is explicitly aimed at PhD candidates and early-career researchers.

Literatures, geographical spaces and the fateful effects of borders

Alors que la frontière est dépeinte comme une limite nécessaire à toute société dans une logique d’organisation et d’administration, entre inclusion et exclusion, la question des déterminants d’une frontière (géographique) est posée. La mise en place ou même bien la postérité de frontières peut être considérée comme tenant à la fois de la contingence et de la nécessité. À l’image du mythe de Héro et Léandre, et de leur amour interdit, la littérature et les arts ont souvent fait de l’eau le marqueur d’une frontière « naturelle’ et ‘émotionnelle ». Dès lors, les éléments d’ordres naturels joueraient un rôle crucial sur la destinée des Hommes et des espaces.

Bringing monuments to life: Thinking about visitor experiences

Ce colloque vise à questionner le rapport des publics aux monuments à partir de la notion d’expérience, et cela dans une dimension internationale. Le terme d’expérience, souvent polysémique, se situe à la croisée de plusieurs disciplines (muséologie, sociologie, sciences de l’information et de la communication, tourism studies, etc.) qui interrogent la manière dont les visiteurs interagissent et s'approprient les lieux patrimoniaux.

Decolonial routes, knowledge, spaces and memories

Decolonial summer university SIRA (Savoirs, Idées, Réseau, Archives)

The symposium will critically examine what decolonization means and its implications in educational contexts. It seeks to challenge the power structures entrenched within academic institutions through a series of discussions that take place in spaces ranging from universities in the Global South to the Théodore Monod African Art Museum and the historic site of Gorée Island. These discussions aim to reconfigure the creative and resistant dynamics that continue to shape us. The connective movement between academic institutions and historically marginalized spaces—those imbued with histories of resistance—underscores the central thesis that “decolonization is not a metaphor.”

Making architectural history through the prism of environmental and decolonial issues

From historiography to the epistemology of history, what are the "new problems, new approaches, new objects" - taking up and updating the postures of Pierre Nora and Jacques Le Goff - new periodizations, new geographical areas of architectural history? This symposium aims to clarify the complexity of these narratives, which are both plural and situated, in order to better understand the methodological questions they raise and the contemporary issues they illuminate. It will question these new data and make them resonate with approaches that claim to be postcolonial and/or environmental. It will examine the epistemological implications of the use of certain notions, such as the anthropocene, and their mobilization in the field of architectural research.

What is an eco-cultural niche? Rethinking the shape of eco-cultural niches

This workshop aims at bringing together ecologists, anthropologists, environmentalists and archaeologists, in order to discuss the definition of eco-cultural niches, a concept that was first proposed by Banks et al. 2006. Significant time will be given to open discussions in order to co-create a new theoritical framework for the analysis of human-environment macro-relationships in the past, using the approach of eco-cultural niche modeling. All scholars (students, teachers, researchers,...) interested in this approach can participate to the meeting and discussions.

Crises of political legitimation and recompositions of forms of authoritarianism in post-2011 North Africa

Workshop - 6th Congress of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies

Some fourteen years after the Arab Spring, two observations need to be made. On the one hand, the current situation in the region is far from being in line with the hopes for democratization and justice that gave rise to the popular uprisings of 2011. On the other hand, the political dynamics underway in several countries (Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco) are marked by a return –or the emergence of new forms– of authoritarianism, associated or not with a rise in populism. We invite contributions that address the processes of authoritarian restoration or takeover through a variety of thematic entries and disciplinary approaches (political science, sociology, economics, anthropology, etc.).

Perspectives historiques et comparées sur les enjeux politiques, juridiques et sociaux des questions palestinienne et sahraouie

The populations of Western Sahara and Palestine share the same denial: that of recognition, by third-party states, of a political subjectivity granting them the right to decide their own destinies. How can comparison and historical perspective on these two issues help us better understand their political, legal, and social dimensions? The aim of our proposal is, in fact, to highlight them, while at the same time trying not to overlook the differences, starting with the social structure of the two populations and their identity construction.

Impossible consolation ? Paradoxes et échecs d’une notion en débat de l’Antiquité à nos jours

Face aux fléaux en tous genres qui ont coutume de s’abattre sur le genre humain, les Grecs et Romains faisaient volontiers appel aux méthodes des orateurs et aux arguments des philosophes. Avec l’invention du christianisme, la religion s’est appropriée cette mission en recyclant les méthodes anciennes par la perspective d’un au-delà rédempteur. Dès l’Antiquité toutefois, les méthodes consolatoires et les discours visant à soulage la peine sont discutés et parfois même remis en cause. Le colloque se propose d’examiner l’expression de ces résistances et de ces échecs, qui, à chaque époque, invitent à repenser les modalités de la relation à autrui et à interroger le statut de la consolation.
