  Postwar Planning in Transnational Perspective

  European Association for Urban History - 2012 Prague

  For this Main Session at the EAUH 11th International Conference (Prague, August 29 - September 1, 2012), we invite papers that bring a transnational or comparative methodology to bear on planning postwar cities in Europe and North America. We are interested in how ideas about planning were exchanged across national borders and how planning in turn shaped trans-Atlantic shifts in political ideologies. Paper topics can range from specific urban interventions, such as the provision of housing, to the way cities fit into broader programs of social reform, Keynesianism, or market-oriented competition. We encourage contributions from all disciplines.

  Corruption and conflicts of interests

  Third seminar of the "Economic analysis of public law and policies" series

  Participants to the November 24 2010 session on Impact Assessment and the Scientific Committee of the Seminar have suggested that, broadly speaking, topics revolving around corruption, the rule of law and good governance would be of interest for the next session. We feel that, within this array, corruption stricto sensu and the broader set of public agents behaviours generally described as characterizing a situation of “conflict of interest” may be a good focus. The day will focus, more precisely, on the analysis of the determinants of corruption, and the impact of corruption on economic growth. Certain major concepts such as agency or transparency should be part of the analysis and debate in order to open a broad discussion on the rationale and efficiency of anti-corruption policies.

  Exo-lexical variables in monolingual and bilingual morphological processing

  Exo-lexical variables in monolingual and bilingual morphological processing. Dates : 9 et 11 février 2012. Workshop dans le cadre de l'IMM15 (International Morphology Meeting), 9-12 février 2012, Vienne (Autriche). The question of how the lexicon is organized in terms of structural units and how these units interact with each other during lexical access and subsequently during morphological processing, has been a controversial field for a long time. The morpheme versus lexeme problem is still unsolved, but several pieces of psycholinguistic evidence have come to corroborate the hypothesis according to which the locus of morphological effects is not situated exclusively inside the lexical unit but should be extended to its environment. In fact, one of the difficulties of the study of morphology for alphabetic languages is that not only morphology is correlated with semantic, orthographic and phonological factors, but also that stems and inflected or derived words exist as free word-forms, entertaining different interrelations.

  Dealer, collector, critic, publisher…: The "animateur d’art" and his multiples roles

  Pluridisciplinary research of these disregarded cultural mediators of the 19th and 20th centuries

  Au sein du milieu artistique, cette figure polyvalente possède toujours plusieurs fonctions et ne se limite jamais à un seul champ d’action. L’animateur d’art peut organiser des expositions, être rédacteur en chef de revue, jouer le rôle d’intermédiaire dans les ventes d’œuvres d’art, être homme d’affaires, avocat, écrivain, collectionneur, etc. Ses différentes casquettes le placent au centre des interactions entre le milieu artistique, littéraire, économique et parfois politique. Enfin, grâce à ses réseaux internationaux il joue souvent le rôle d’ambassadeurs dans les milieux artistiques d’autres capitales.

  The Caucasus and Central Asia, twenty years after independences: Questioning the notion of “South countries”

  Ce colloque clôture un projet ANR mené au Centre d'études des mondes russe, caucasien et centre européen (CERCEC, CNRS/EHESS), intitulé « Caucase et Asie Centrale : un autre Sud ? ».

Pluridisciplianire, ce colloque a pour ambition d’interroger la pertinence des outils heuristiques élaborés à partir de terrains situés au « Sud », mais aussi de la notion même de « Sud(s) » pour appréhender les périphéries méridionales de l’espace post-soviétique. Il entend réunir des chercheurs de toutes les disciplines des sciences sociales (sociologie, histoire, sciences politiques, géographie, anthropologie, démographie, économie). Colloque organisé avec le soutien de l'Agence Nationale pour la Recherche (programme ANR « Les Suds »). Final English version attached below / Русская версия в аттачменте ниже.
