  The Gazing Society

  Approaches to the history of vision in the modern period, 19th-20th century

  The CSC (Centro Interuniversitario di Storia Culturale) is looking for discussants for its fore-coming international conference on "The Gazing Society. Approaches to the history of vision in the modern period (19th-20th century)", that will take place in Padova, Italy at the beginning of 2012. The conference aims to be a stimulating opportunity for approaching the study of "the gazing society" between the 19th and the 20th centuries. Each historical period can be said to be characterized by its own “visual structures“, and, thus, by perceptive experiences, practices and languages which are culturally determined. History, and in particular modern history, can therefore offer a broad scope of research. The aim of the conference is precisely to build a comprehensive picture of the state of the art as well as to foster an international debate on the topic. The conference will be held in Italian and English.

  Conference, symposium - Representation

  Fictions, immersions and virtual worlds

  Ces colloques et recherches qui lui sont associées ont pour objectifs de clarifier les rapports entre trois situations d’immersion : 1) l’immersion du sujet en situation réelle, 2) l’immersion du sujet (lecteur ou spectateur) en situation fictionnelle, 3) l’immersion du sujet en situation virtuelle. Plus précisément, ce sont les situations d’interactions entre ces trois sortes d’univers qui seront abordées car chacun désormais ne peut se concevoir de façon autonome. Mais ce seront aussi les modalités des entrées et sorties entre situation immersive et situation non immersive qu’il faudra envisager pour chacun de ces modes d’immersion.

  GL13 : The Grey Circuit

  From Social Networking to Wealth Creation

  Social networking is the way the grey literature community remains connected in the 21st century. It encompasses a range of social media and communication tools that enable subject based communities to create, review, process, publish, and make grey literature openly accessible to public domain. Social networking is not new to grey literature, in fact it is inherent to this field of information. What’s new however are the technologies available to global grey literature communities in developing, monitoring, and sustaining valued information resources and services. In this context, social networking becomes a mechanism both used and applied by grey literature communities in the processes of knowledge generation and ensuing wealth creation.

  Catholic Intellectuals in France in the mid-20th Century

  Following the success of the journée d’étude ‘Engaging with Engagement: French Catholic Thought 1930-50’, held at Magdalen College in May 2010, this conference will continue and extend exploration of different types of French Catholic intellectual engagement during the mid-twentieth century, against the backdrop of the ‘crises’ of civilization of the interwar period through to the war years and beyond. The formation of Catholic identities, in their artistic, philosophical, theological and political manifestations, and the shifting norms and values of political and social commitments in relation to their cultural and theological fault lines, are central to our concerns.

  Conference, symposium - Education

  International and National Standardization and Differentiation of Education Systems from a Historical Perspective

  The general thesis of this conference is that the national and international standardizations, the resistances to it, and the development of regional particularities are mutually dependent. During the conference projects, protagonists, and effects of the standardization processes within the education systems throughout the 19th and 20th centuries shall be examined and discussed. International and national processes of standardization and comparisons of them are in the main focus: Not only the success or failure of standardization but also how national standardization processes depend on international standardization processes – and vice versa – are of interest.

  Antifascism as a Practice and as a Discourse

  Western Europe / Eastern Europe

  Le but de cette table ronde est de retravailler sur l'antifascisme en mettant en évidence les ruptures et les continuités entre l’antifascisme de la période 1920-1940, expression et pratique politique plurielle, impliquant des acteurs divers et les usages discursifs qui en ont été faits par les régimes communistes. L’antifascisme se diversifie dans le temps et sa définition varie en fonction des programmes politiques ou du répertoire d'action collective mobilisé.

  Historical Development of National Systems of Elite Formation in Eastern and Central Europe

  This workshop is bringing together specialists from mostly Eastern Europe together with some West European partners, capable and liable of sharing their localised research expertise in the study of the birth and initial development of national systems of elite training in a number of (mostly but not exclusively) small East Central European societies. All of them have very concrete empirical research agendas and records in these fields, but separately, applied to their own national societies. The idea of the meeting is born from the need of and the interest in comparing – in many thematic issues term by term – research findings, insights and questions gained from studies of the training, career and activities of various East European elite groups during the decades up to the Soviet take-over.

  We have been organizing the thirteenth annual working conference on topics in philosophy of the social sciences. The 2011 Roundtable will continue a tradition of meetings that brings together philosophers and social scientists to discuss a wide range of philosophical issues raised in and by social research. Abstracts on any topic in philosophy of the social sciences or in the philosophy of social phenomena have been welcomed. We have especially welcomed papers that tackle philosophical issues as they arise in, and are consequential for, practicing social scientists. The result is a three-day program of papers to be presented in workshop format so that intensive discussion can be the focus of the meeting. We have particularly welcomed contributions from junior colleagues and colleagues new to the area.
