  Contestation sociale et ses futurs

  Social protest and its futures

  What are the future temporalities of contemporary mobilizations ? In social protests, the hopeful future and the conviction that a better future is within reach have long marked revolutionary rhetoric and progressive political fervor. However, is this enthusiastic “jusqu’auboutisme” a temporality that still belongs to contemporary imaginaries of struggle ?

  Conference, symposium - Africa

  Ethiopians abroad in the Middle Ages

  Ce colloque est organisé dans le cadre du projet ERC COG HornEast* (Horn & Crescent. Connections, Mobility and Exchange between the Horn of Africa and the Middle East in the Middle Ages). Le projet ERC HornEast a pour objectif de documenter les relations entre les sociétés chrétiennes de la Corne de l’Afrique (Éthiopie, Nubie) et leur environnement islamique aux échelles locale et régionale (Égypte, Palestine, péninsule Arabique), afin de mieux comprendre les modalités du processus d’islamisation à l’œuvre dans la région au cours du millénaire médiéval (VII^e - XV^e siècle).

  Dreams of the Future

  As the research training group “European Dream Cultures” at Saarland University enters its ninth and final year, we would like our concluding conference to look not only back but also ahead, in focussing on future content of dreaming in literature, art, theatre, film, and music. Key questions include: What types of futures do artistic dreams of the future envision? Are they utopian or dystopian? Are they marked as dreams experienced during sleep, or are they imaginings of the future that are dreamlike in nature but anchored in the waking world? How do they connect to the present or the past, and to which version of these temporalities? What function do they assume within different works? To what extent do religious, political, or epistemological discourses influence these artistic dreams of the future?

  Migration in Belgium: Epistemological issues, History, Public action and Mobilisations

  This study day aims to bring together researchers from different social science disciplines (anthropology, law, economics, geography, history, philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, etc.) working on migration issues in Belgium. In a context where migration phenomena are regularly at the forefront of political and media news (“reception crisis”, border management and control, citizen mobilisations, etc.), the aim of this study day is, on the one hand, to review the progress of research in the various social science disciplines in this field, and, on the other hand, to refine academic analyses through a multidisciplinary dialogue. This meeting thus intends to contribute to a better understanding of the migration phenomenon in Belgium.

  The Image on the Page

  A Study Day Around Illustrated Print Culture

  This study day aims to gather researchers around the subject of the printed image since the 1880s. With particular attention to material bibliography and production techniques, we seek to better understand how illustrations contribute to the formation of meaning and discourses within different contexts from illustrated newspapers to etiquette manuals, from scientific journals to children’s books.

  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.

  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.
