The American moment in Quebec universities - appropriations, transfers and networks, 1930-1960
Les années d'ascension du nazisme et de la seconde Guerre mondiale correspondent à une période charnière de l'histoire intellectuelle du Canada français. Face à une Europe sous tension, le Québec fut momentanément contraint de restreindre ses relations avec le Vieux continent et, corollairement, avec ses milieux savants, au premier chef avec la France, destination jusqu’alors privilégiée.

Expressing and writing female migration and the social actors of the 21st century
Jusqu’ici les migrations féminines étaient pensées décrites et écrites par des hommes qui ont tout dit sauf ce qu’elles peuvent elles-mêmes en dire à travers leurs récits et expériences du fait migratoire, quelque soient les continents, les pays et les espaces géographiques où elles sont basées. Cet appel à contribution a pour objet de décrire, d’analyser les parcours et trajectoires migratoires depuis leur pays de départ jusqu’aux différents pays d’accueil.

Cultures of Conservatism in the United States and Western Europe between the 1970's and 1990's
The conference will examine the cultural history of conservative ideas and movements in Western Europe and the United States between the 1970s and the 1990s. Focusing on cultures of conservatism, the conference will rethink the general contours of conservatism. It will pay close attention to the intersection of culture, politics and economics, in order to broaden our understanding of the processes of change that have unfolded since the 1970s.

Struggle and the journal - collective writings and alternative discourses
Écritures collectives et discours alternatifs
Cette journée d’étude veut interroger ce lieu, aussi bien physique qu’intellectuel, qu’est la revue et la manière dont s’y nouent des discours alternatifs, dont s’y élaborent des écritures qui tentent de résister à l’usure du discours politique comme parfois à l’isolement de l’entreprise littéraire. Ces lieux sont, en un sens, nécessairement minoritaires et précaires, dans un entre-deux fragile, ni totalement dans le cycle médiatique, ni hors du débat public. A travers l’analyse d’exemples français et étrangers, issus de diverses périodes (de « l’âge d’or » du tournant du XXe siècle à l’époque contemporaine), nous voudrions explorer ce que les revues apportent, en termes de style et de positionnement, les deux allant bien souvent de pair.

Religions and the presidential elections in the United States
Catholics have long been an important force in American electoral politics even if they make up 21% of the American population. Could they be, compared to the other religious denominations, the game changer of the next elections ? Despite widespread agreement among scholars that the partisan behavior of Catholics has changed, there is much less consensus on the nature of that change, its permanence, and its causes. This symposium will review the historical patterns of Catholic partisanship and voting behavior, as well as those of the other denominations, discuss major perspectives on electoral change (Republican shift, Hispanic and Asian vote, interreligious alliances) and test there perspectives with the latest survey data.

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Music criticism in the Anglophone world
What are the forms, genres, and styles of music criticism? Who writes music criticism? What role have musicians and composers played (and continue to play) in music criticism? And what is the role of non-musician writers? And how do cultural institutions, such as universities, newspapers, specialized or non-specialized magazines, figure in music criticism, as opposed to non-institutional channels? What does “classical” music criticism and popular music criticism have in common? How, conversely, do they differ? These are some of the questions that will be debated in this international conference, the last in a series of colloquiums that were initiated in 2013 on various aspects of music criticism. Twelve papers—seven in English, five in French—will be presented in the three sessions of this conference, with participants from Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, and the United States.

Plural inequalities on the American continent - the evolution of perspectives
Évolution des perspectives
La question des inégalités est plurielle, en cela qu’elle est aussi bien économique que sociétale, et qu’elle met en jeu un faisceau complexe d’interactions entre revenus, patrimoines, éducation, origines ethniques, géographie, mobilités, intégration, niveaux socioculturels. L’objectif de cette journée d’étude est de rassembler la pluralité de ces perspectives d’abord autour des inégalités aux États-Unis.

A transatlantic dialogue
On the occasion of the launch of Picturing, the first volume of the Terra Foundation Essays, a new publication series exploring themes of critical importance to the history of arts and visual culture of the United States, the Deutsches Forum für Kunstgeschichte, Paris, and the Terra Foundation for American Art are jointly organizing a conference to further the transatlantic dialogue about what pictures are and what they do. This conference invites speakers to reflect on the differences and convergences between the intellectual traditions of visual studies and Bildwissenschaft. Are there ways to think about pictures anew by bringing these models more closely together? Does the move away from visuality towards the material offer possibilities for overcoming early differences between these two approaches?

Women and migration (19th-20th centuries)
Cette journée d’étude souhaite explorer les différentes facette de l’émigration féminine au XIXe et au XXe siècle, qu’elle ait été individuelle ou de groupe, assistée ou forcée. Il s’agira pour cela d’analyser les différents types de migration, les raisons socio-économique qui les motivent (push et pull), ainsi que leurs conséquences. Le regard sera aussi porté plus particulièrement sur les migrantes elles-mêmes, sur la façon dont elles peuvent / ont pu être affectées par leur passage d’un territoire à un autre, percevoir leur voyage et être perçues dans leur nouvel environnement. Les modalités institutionnelles, sociales et humaines de leur migration et, le cas échéant, les mécanismes d’appropriation des nouveaux territoires et/ou espaces sociaux seront discutés.

Mother Figures and Representations of Motherhood in English-speaking Societies
This conference aims to question the various ways in which motherhood is judged, how political choices are translated into cultural representations of mothers as either icons or scapegoats, and how these representations are received and challenged in a quest for either conformity or agency.

Irland and France in the age of the "Atlantic Republic"
As Ireland commemorates the Centenary of the 1916 Rising and the Proclamation of the Irish Republic (Easter Monday, 24 April 1916), and as this defining landmark event comes more than 15 years after the Bicentenary of the 1798 Rebellion, it is both relevant and necessary to interrogate anew the defining links between Revolutionary France and Ireland forged during the pivotal decade of the 1790s. This re-appraisal is all the more timely given the new research perspectives which have emerged in the three decades since the publication of Marianne Elliot's seminal Partners in Revolution (1982) and the Bicentenary of the French Revolution.

Music, protest and counter-cultures
De la chanson engagée aux avant-gardes esthétiques les plus radicales, la musique a joué un rôle majeur dans les révolutions culturelles des années 1960 et 1970. Centrée sur l’Amérique du Nord et l’Europe, cette journée d’étude analyse les liens entre musique, contestations et contre-cultures dans une approche comparée, attentive aux circulations artistiques. Trois axes seront privilégiés : l’articulation entre discours politiques et créations esthétiques ; l’émergence de nouvelles scènes et sociabilités culturelles (festivals, performances, médiatisation) ; les dynamiques de consécration et de patrimonialisation des musiques contestataires. Un événement organisé par la Philharmonie de Paris et l'université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines en lien avec l'exposition The Velvet Underground: New York Extravanza

The political history of the United States
Le Bulletin d'histoire politique appelle des propositions de textes pour un dossier spécial sur l'histoire politique des États-Unis. Ce champ se développe rapidement depuis quelques années – il fascine le public et les chercheurs, et l'actualité contribue à le renforcer. Nous constatons aussi le faible taux de publication historienne francophone sur les États-Unis. Nous voulons donc offrir une plate-forme à ces chercheurs et à leurs recherches.

Political mobilisations of ethno-racial groups in Obama's America
À l’heure des bilans pour la présidence Obama, cette journée d’étude propose d’interroger les liens entre minorités ethno-raciales et politique dans cette Amérique « mosaïque » où la plupart des groupes portent des revendications et cherchent à promouvoir des intérêts qui leur sont, bien souvent, spécifiques. L’objectif de la journée sera donc d’analyser les interactions entre les groupes ethno-raciaux et les différentes sphères du pouvoir politique, au niveau national mais également local, pendant la période Obama qui s’achève.
