The Worlds of Pre-Modern Neutrality (ca. 1400-1800): Norms, Institutions and Practices

This symposium aims to contribute new insights to the long-term history of neutrality, focusing on its "pre modern" dimension broadly understood (ca. 1400-1800). Indeed, the law of neutrality started to emerge in the Early Modern Age through the practices and beliefs of the European state system, but also from its interactions with non-European normative and cultural systems. Different but complementary angles of approach can be used to understand this phenomenon: e.g. diplomatic history, IR history, political history, economic history and legal history. Throughout history, polities as well as private actors have interpreted neutrality in flexible and divergent ways, e.g. proposing a proactive-assertive approach or a more passive and inward looking one. Benefiting from multiple disciplinary perspectives, the symposium takes into consideration both the theory and the practice of neutrality, advancing our knowledge of the often-contested conceptualisation of legal regimes at sea as well as on land. Such a conceptualisation depended on the interaction between situations of peace and diverged across different temporal and spatial coordinates.

La Méditerranée à l’épreuve de l’histoire environnementale (XVIe-XXIe siècle)

En juin 2025, la France accueillera à Nice la troisième Conférence des Nations Unies sur l’Océan, avec quelque 120 chefs d’État et de gouvernement, mais surtout des centaines de spécialistes et d’acteurs institutionnels et non-institutionnels. Ce temps de débat et de partage autour de l’avenir des océans est l’occasion pour la discipline historique de s’emparer de ces questions. L’objet d’étude de ce colloque international est la Méditerranée, non seulement la mer mais le monde méditerranéen dans son ensemble. Les études méditerranéennes sont intrinsèquement liées à l’« environnement » depuis les travaux pionniers de Fernand Braudel. Aujourd’hui, l’histoire environnementale n’interroge plus seulement le milieu braudélien mais l’ensemble des interactions des acteurs humains et non-humains avec l’environnement. Le but de ce colloque est donc de porter un nouveau regard sur la Méditerranée grâce à l’histoire environnementale.

Business Perspectives on Corporate Accountability for Human and Environmental Rights Violations

The past twenty years have witnessed a multiplication of legislative initiatives, civil and criminal litigations, and concerted demands by social movements and NGOs across the world to hold economic actors accountable for human rights violations and environmental degradation. An important body of literature has examined these civil society mobilizations, and the ways governments envisage similar processes. Yet we know far less about the ways businesses understand their own rights and duties as legal persons, and their responsibilities as citizen. This conference aims to revisit the current academic scholarship on corporate accountability by providing a platform for socio-historical analysis of the variety of business actors and their (potentially fragmented and competing) ideas, strategies, and lines of action in terms of enhancing or undermining concrete responsibility for human rights violations and ecological degradation.

Materials in the Anthropocene

A Joint Science and Humanities Conference

Since several decades, Earth sciences have been highlighting the enormity of the metabolic disturbances induced by mass productivism on the global scale. The conference will notably consider the materials of the Anthropocene from a “metabolic” perspective, i.e. one that looks at the cycles of transformation of matter within the planetary ensemble, and also includes the social, political and economic representations shaping them.

Women and the Liberation in Metropolitan France and the Empire, 1944-1946

Organized by the Conseil scientifique et d'orientation de la Mission du 80ème anniversaire de la Libération, this conference focuses on the two or three years that make up the "moment" of the Liberation, from 1944 to 1946. Its aim is to examine the transformations that took place in women's lives and gender relations - in combat, in political life in the broadest sense and in their activities - in metropolitan France and the Empire. This international meeting will both review the current state of knowledge and highlight new aspects.

Secularization of religious assets in Enlightenment Europe: urban development, architecture, and art works

The suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773 marks the last step of the Order’s progressive dissolution initiated fifteen years earlier, in Europe and in its colonies. This act of suppression was the culmination of a broader secularisation movement concerning religious congregations across Europe, from the 1760s to the French Revolution. Whether driven by reformatory or by economic interests, all acts of suppression and secularisation had the same consequences: a large number of movable assets and real property, estates and art works were either reallocated to other religious congregations or put on sale, when not confiscated altogether. Several studies have already investigated the dispersal of abolished congregations’ assets in different parts of Enlightened Europe, but a broader overview is yet to be drawn.

Lawyers and Capitalism

The History of Lawyers as Key Actors in the Development of Global Capitalism

The legal profession has long been identified as a power broker between political, corporate, state-bureaucratic and academic elites. Recent research has focused on the emergence of new professionals who are willing and able to work across national frontiers. As professional go-betweens, lawyers have become essential actors of the emerging “transnational legal field”, coordinating strategies across jurisdictions and forming a strong component of professional services firms. The objective of this workshop is threefold. First, it aims to take stock of the ongoing international and interdisciplinary debates. Second, it intends to focus on the historical dimension and to deepen our understanding of the changes over time of the legal profession and its role in the development of global capitalism. Third, it endeavors to promote an actors-centered approach of the role of law and law firms as a key component in the business world.

The World of Silk Between France and Italy, 16th-19th Century

This workshop aims to consider Franco-Italian relations concerning silk from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century by fostering dialogue between research that has hitherto been separated by historiographical tradition, particularly combining history and art history. This interdisciplinary approach is all the more essential as it seeks to scrutinize through the same set of inquiries the entire silk production chain (from mulberry cultivation to fabric consumption, including thread manufacturing and preparation, pattern creation, and weaving). By revealing the importance of interdependencies among the various stages of the production and consumption process and the different actors within this industry, this approach leads to new considerations of the connections between the social worlds and the territories that silk interlinked.

What counting means in an imperial and colonial situation

This conference intends to open in new ways the file of accounting and statistical approaches produced in imperial and colonial context (thematic maps, surveys, statistical series etc.) to extract all the information that they are likely to provide on societies and situations that they are supposed to illuminate. Taking into account the numerous historiographical findings, the critiques of the different numerical elements used, their racialist and normative aims, it is as much a question of being interested in the conditions of their production, whether they are visible (investigators) or invisible (interpreters , village elites), than to analyze the reactions to their production, their distribution or to specify the expectations of the sponsors and the uses to which they give rise. The conference intends to encourage the crossing of the scales mobilized by the different supports of these accounting elements, starting from individuals and up to the relations between administrations or colonial companies and the Metropolis.

Administrer le privilège

La Ferme générale dans l'espace français et européen (1664-1794)

Le projet « Ferme Générale » vise à étudier l’impact d’une organisation fiscale (1664-1794), discriminante mais rationnelle, sur les territoires et les sociétés de la France moderne. Il cerne les dynamiques de fonctionnement d’une institution ancrée dans une culture du privilège et donc de l’inégalité, mais tout autant dans une culture administrative éclairée visant l’efficacité. Véritable « État dans l’État », omniprésente à des échelles diverses et sur des territoires très différenciés pour collecter près de 50 % des revenus ordinaires de la monarchie, dotée de moyens exceptionnels de coercition, mais capable de transactions, la Ferme générale a localement renforcé ou affaibli le sentiment d’injustice à l’interface avec les sociétés plurielles sur lesquelles elle agit. Son originalité réside dans l’approche globale de l’objet d’histoire « Ferme générale », considérant pour la première fois cet acteur majeur de la modernité dans tous ses aspects, administratifs, politiques, économiques, sociologiques, géographiques.

Energy transitions and economic thinking in German-speaking territories, 1800-2000

ETRANHET explores how economic ideas on energy have developed in various market-economy contexts around the world, since the first waves of industrialization at the turn of the 19th century. It particularly addresses three key questions: (1) How did past economists (broadly defined) conceive the connection between energy, growth, and development? (2) How did they consider innovation and technological change in energy affairs? (3) How did economic discourse on energy influence policymaking, and vice versa? Areas covered by the project include Continental Europe, the British Isles, North and Latin America, South-East Asia, and some areas under colonial control. This workshop will be an opportunity to look more closely at German-speaking territories within Continental Europe.

Boisguilbert en son temps. Morale, économie et politique

Ce colloque a vocation à mettre à nouveau la lumière sur celui qui a été considéré par Marx comme le précurseur de l’économie politique française et à questionner l’apparent consensus relatif à ses écrits. Il s’agira aussi d’envisager d’autres voies d’interprétation de sa pensée et d’adopter une perspective pluridisciplinaire mêlant histoire de la pensée économique, analyse littéraire, philosophie, théologie et politique.
