Rebels in diplomacy

Singular political experiences on the international stage (15th-18th centuries)

At the crossroads of these different fields, and following on from a first book devoted to this issue during the French Wars of Religion (published in 2022), the aim of our workshop is to observe rebel diplomacy in action. Attention will focus on the following questions, all of which aim to shed light on the grey zones of diplomacy, between marginality, normality and centrality, in which rebel mobilizations contributed to the ferment of international relations in the early modern era.

From gardening to landscaping, from La Quintinie to tomorrow.

The transition from gardening to spatial design or planning, and vice versa, is a common issue in gardens and large parks, both historic and contemporary. The aim of this symposium is to bring together gardeners, historians, geographers, landscape architects, urban planners and other disciplines concerned with the art of gardening and landscape design, to examine and explore this transition between gardening and landscape. The 400^th anniversary of the birth of Jean de La Quintinie (March 1^st, 1626), designer and first gardener of the Potager du Roi, and the 50^th anniversary of the creation of the Ecole nationale supérieure de paysage at the Potager du Roi (October 15^th 1976) serve as catalysts.

Searching for Homosexuality in Judicial Archives

Epistemological, Methodological and Political Challenges (18 th-20 th centuries)

This workshop aims to explore the epistemological, methodological and political challenges of using judicial archives to conduct historical research on homosexuality. It will be held on 7 and 8 November 2025 at Campus Condorcet in Aubervilliers, France (Paris area). It is open to all early career researchers (master's, doctoral and post-doctoral researchers) conducting investigations into the history of homosexuality using court records and/or other judicial documents, whatever their discipline. This edition focuses specifically on the issue of framing the object of research and on categories of analysis in the history of homosexuality, and how these are put to the test by confrontation with this material.

Contemporary forms of money

Revue « Anthropologie et développement »

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, de nouvelles formes monétaires, en particulier numériques, structurent les agendas développementalistes : finance verte, paiement mobile, transferts conditionnés d’argent, crypto monnaies ou monnaie numérique de banque centrale. Si l’Afrique a longtemps été l’épicentre de la numérisation monétaire, l’Asie et l’Amérique latine ont expérimenté une croissance forte de ces modalités de paiement lors des dernières années. Ce numéro vise à étudier, à partir de données qualitatives, les logiques de gestion, de circulation et d’appropriation de ces nouvelles formes monétaires qui servent des projets divers (individuels, associatifs, politiques publiques), impliquent des acteurs extrêmement hétérogènes et s’insèrent dans des contextes où elles cohabitent avec des dynamiques anciennes.

Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors and Experiences

The international conference “Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors, Experiences” examines confinements through the lens of their materiality. Drawing on a recent historiographical broadening of the field, the conference aims to address various forms of medieval and early modern confinement, both judicial and non-judicial: prisons, galleys, hospitals, workhouses, cloisters, monasteries, and the like. Contributions are encouraged that reflect on how material history and its sources could contribute to a better understanding of different institutions of confinement and their actors (confined individuals, monks, jailers, doctors, suppliers…), practices, and infrastructures.

Frank Lloyd Wright's legacy in France: transmissions, appropriations, hybridizations

By focusing on the legacy of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in France, this conference is intended our knowledge of a still unknown part of French architectural production of the second half of the second half of the twentieth century, a prolific period for architecture, but of which certain aspects remain to be explored and questioned, particularly approaches and proposals outside the mainstream.

Les arts du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance du XIXe siècle : réception, collectionnisme et ré interprétations

The issues to be addressed during these study days are intended to complement and, above all, rediscover a still little-known aspect of the reception of the arts of the Middle Ages (5th-15thc.) and the Renaissance (15th-16 thc.) during the long 19th century. The timeframe chosen for this exploration will begin in the 1820s and 1830s, when the “neo” medieval and Renaissance movements emerged, and will end at the dawn of the First World War. While architecture and painting have been examined in the light of neo-medieval and neo-Renaissance trends, sculpture, the decorative arts in the broadest sense and the graphic arts have received less attention.

On the Trail of Prehistoric Individuals: Scientific Challenges, Methods, Perspectives

This conference explores the identification of individuals in Prehistory—a topic that inspired several foundational studies in the late 1970s and 1980s. Nearly 50 years later, where do we stand? From the Palaeolithic to the Metal Ages, how can we attempt to identify individuals through the full range of available archaeological remains and materials? What methods can we employ to achieve this? What are the conditions of their use, their levels of resolution, and more broadly, their advantages and limitations? By applying these methods, what insights can we hope to gain into the social and economic organisation of past societies? Finally, how can we envision the future of this ambitious, yet undeniably complex, field of research?

Disability issues in French and European Overseas Territories

The situation of people with disabilities is specific in French or European overseas areas (the Azores, Aruba, Bermuda...). Several phenomena characterize them (marginality on several scales, insularity possibly, particular legislation, economic situation). Moreover, each territory has specificities of the same order. And it can itself show strong internal variations (French Polynesia, Guyana, Bermuda) depending on the distance from the local center, isolation or different forms of marginality (which do not include only isolation or remoteness, but a social margin). In these conditions, people live situations very different from those of the metropolitan areas, with care, views on otherness, solidarities... sometimes far removed from the metropolitan realities. However, on this subject, knowledge is often lacking.

The Neglected Times of Architecture

By bringing together diverse disciplinary perspectives, this conference seeks to unfold the multiple temporal dimensions of architecture and the built environment, to foreground the actions, resources, and actors implicated in these processes, and to explore research methodologies capable of apprehending such dynamics. The event will also feature a dedicated space for the exhibition of audio/visual materials stemming from research engaging with these themes. Submissions may therefore take the form of traditional oral presentations, as well as shorter presentations centred on one or more audio/visual pieces—such as photographs, films, drawings, maps...

California as the Epicenter of Social Sciences

California occupies a central position in American studies and has inspired countless papers and books from its admission to statehood up to the present. This international symposium aims to gather and unify the various strands of social science research—including American studies, sociology, social anthropology, history, political science, and geography—whose methodologies (archival work, oral history, ethnography, participant observation, semi-structured interviews, etc.) allow for an intersectional examination of territorial, social, and racial inequalities and policies in California. It will offer a forum for field insights into the challenges and difficulties faced by France-based scholars in applying these methodologies to distant research fields.
