  Res Antiquitatis. Journal of Ancient History, volume 3, 2012

  The Centro de História de Além-Mar (CHAM) is accepting proposals of articles for vol. 3 of Res Antiquitatis. Journal of Ancient History (2012). Its scientific field comprises studies focused on Ancient History and, on the other, research into the cultural transmission of traditions concerning Antiquity throughout the ages. Both of these guidelines are privileged by the Editors of this journal. Thus, historiography and the constructed memory of civilizations such as the Mesopotamian, the Egyptian or the Graeco-Roman are themes as relevant for the journal as those regarding specific Ancient History problems.

  Irish self-portraits: the artist in curved mirrors

  Si l’Irlande peut se targuer de posséder une collection nationale d’autoportraits, l’art de l’autoportrait en littérature et dans les arts visuels reste encore largement inexploré. Certes, la pratique de l’autoportrait marque une tentative de plonger au fond de soi-même mais la représentation qui en découle n’est ni simple ni directe. Les artistes mettent en scène leur propre identité et leur propre personnage, se jouant de la célébrité et de leur rayonnement d’artiste, montrant de l’irrespect ou du mépris pour toute forme de canon ou d’usage. Le miroir dans lequel l’artiste se contemple est ainsi souvent un miroir courbe. L’objet de cette conférence, organisée par le Centre Interlangues TIL de l’université de Bourgogne, est d’analyser les diverses stratégies à l’œuvre dans l’art de l’autoportrait.

  The economic, social and political issues related to population ageing

  Les transformations sociales, économiques et politiques induites par le vieillissement de la population ouvrent un vaste chantier de recherche. La question de la dépendance ou de la vulnérabilité, de la consommation de soins et de services, du vieillissement au travail, de l’aménagement urbain et de la citoyenneté des personnes âgées sont des problèmes sociaux et politiques d’actualité mais qui suscitent encore peu de travaux. Ce colloque tentera d'explorer quelques unes de ces pistes.

  The Nation and its "Repatriates"

  Pieds Noirs and German Expellees in a Comparative Perspective

  L’Allemagne et la France ont intégré des millions d’émigrés après la seconde guerre mondiale et la décolonisation, que ce soient les expulsés des territoires de l’Est ou les rapatriés européens d’Algérie. En dépit de parallèles notables, les deux processus ont généralement été étudiés isolément. Le colloque international propose de les mettre systématiquement en perspective et se concentre sur les questions suivantes : quelle signification les territoires perdus avaient-ils pour la France et l’Allemagne ? Quel a été l’impact de l’intégration des expulsés et des pieds-noirs dans les deux sociétés ? Comment a-t-on commémoré l’exode, l’exil et l’expulsion, à quels conflits et controverses ont-ils donné lieu à l’échelle nationale et internationale ?

  Elective affinities. Critical approach of religious heritage-making in the Mediterranean

  Workshop of the inaugural conference of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies

  This workshop of the inaugural conference of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies (Gothenburg, 5 June 2012) focuses on the relationships between religion and heritage in the Mediterranean. It aims to study the entwining of these two phenomena and reveal the eventual particularities of religious heritage-making, as well as to discuss the conceptions of heritage embedded in the monotheistic religions, and re-examine the cultural matrix that religion and heritage share, redefine or negotiate through memory practices.

  Urban renewal projects in Europe

  The colloquium will try to highlight two issues about urban renewal projects, shared by all European countries. Who’s benefiting from urban projects? How is it possible to renew in a context of crisis? The first day will inquire both the place left to or/and taken by the citizens in urban projects, the targets of these projects and their social impacts. The second day will assess both the financial crisis impacts on governance, especially on the place of private and public sectors, and the environmental constraints to be taken into account in urban renewal.

  “Ri yo avan yo riw”: Rebellion and Compliance of Womanhood in African-Diasporic Milieu

  As defined by Hirsh, postmemory: “describes the relationship of the second generation of powerful, often traumatic experiences that preceded their births but that were nevertheless transmitted to them so deeply as to seems to constitute memories in their own rights” (2008). Applied to the African Diaspora, one may suggest that slavery and colonialism constitute a postmemory directly determining the approach to self of all members of the African Diaspora. This postmemory is so ingrained in these societies that the post-conflict backlash generally affecting women from former colonised or occupied countries, has hit African-Diasporic women in an extremely unusual way. In fact, it has been witnessed in several middle Eastern or South American societies that after liberationist conflicts, some societies would create a fantasised notion of womanhood allegedly pre-colonial, rejecting the former dominant culture to glorify their own root culture (Al Ali, Pratt 2007; Pankhurst 2007). In African-Diasporic milieu and in the same post conflict context, women were fed with dreams of European respectability of which the European middle class woman was archetypal. This rather complex situation generated great uneasiness as far as identity and womanhood were concerned. Beyond the debate around Négritude, Créolité and even Modernity, black women are yet to fit the general notion of “whut a [black] woman oughta be and to do”.Indeed, One can wonder at the ability of the new generation to fulfil the dream of respectability of its mothers (Burton, 1997) while complying with the demands of an increasingly neo-liberal environment. Coupled with the Festival Image of Black Women, this conference will be the opportunity to discuss the discrepancy between the image, the representation and the realities of African-Diasporic women. The aim is to identify the postmemories responsible for the social expectations of womanhood in a given community and how these expectations protect or injure the same women.
