    Experts in politics and political expertise in the modern period in Europe (II)

    Heuristic issues of historical usage

    Alors que la figure de celui que l’on désigne comme « expert » a totalement envahi le discours médiatique au point de constituer dans le paysage contemporain une incarnation d’autorité incontournable, voire incantatoire, nous souhaitons interroger la présence à l’époque moderne de pratiques et de comportements qui pourraient relever de ce que l’on appelle désormais « l’expertise ». La défiance à l’égard des technosciences et les discussions questionnant la légitimité de l’expert, l’usage incontrôlé et hâtif de ces notions dans les médias et leur diffusion corrélative dans la recherche, en particulier dans les sciences sociales, invitent à interroger leurs significations et leurs pertinences grâce à une démarche historique.

    Switzerland - its history of cultural transfer

    Traverse, history journal (issue 1/2019)

    Dans le but de mieux cerner comment l’espace helvétique s’est structuré à partir d’importations et de références étrangères, ce numéro de traverse a pour objectif d’analyser, à différentes périodes, les processus complexes d’absorptions, de transferts et de réinterprétations d’idées et de pratiques diverses, qu’elles soient de nature économique, politique, sociale, anthropologique, culturelle, scolaire ou religieuse. Il s’agira donc d’étudier des processus dynamiques et de considérer l’espace helvétique comme un carrefour, un point de rencontres et d’osmose.

    The concept of the State-society relationship in comparative perspective

    Doctoral Workshop

    The goal of this workshop is to bring together doctoral students at any stage in their research project (those in early stages are expressly encouraged to participate) to explore the state-society distinction/relationship as a theoretical or heuristic framework for their research. The aim is to “pool resources” in order to aid reflection on this concept and its application in research across national/linguistic and disciplinary boundaries and to increase awareness of debates and problematizations (and resources) outside of participants’ “home” culture.

    Popular policing in Europe (18th -20th centuries)

    Depuis une dizaine d’années, la problématique de la justice populaire fait l’objet d’un renouveau historiographique majeur. L’analyse tant des contextes de crise que des mutations politiques, économiques ou sociales des sociétés européennes a montré que ce concept doit être appréhendé au-delà du champ strictement judiciaire et être intégré dans l’horizon plus large des diverses formes de maintien de l’ordre.

    Amílcar Cabral: The “Anonymous Fighter” for the Mankind Fundamental Freedoms

    In 1971, Amílcar Cabral presented himself in the United Nations (UN) as an “anonymous fighter” engaged in the struggle for the fundamental freedoms of the populations of Guinea and Cape Verde, as well as of all mankind. Such affirmation was not casual, since Cabral adopted the status of “anonymous fighter” in other circumstances, arguing that he was struggling for the human dignity, progress and happiness. The main goal of the conference is to bring together academics studying Cabral trajectory, institutions involved in preserving his memory and personalities which became acquainted with him.

    Diplomate, magistrat et législateur

    L’ambition de ce colloque est non seulement de revenir sur les aspects méconnus de la vie et de l’œuvre de Joseph-Marie Portalis dans une perspective interdisciplinaire en confrontant les approches des juristes, politistes et historiens, mais également de mettre à profit des documents d’archives inédits déposés depuis 2012 à la Cour de cassation, aux Archives nationales, aux Archives du ministère des Affaires étrangères et aux Archives départementales des Bouches-du-Rhône et du Maine-et-Loire.

    Truth and Fiction

    15th Annual Conference of the International Medieval Society-Paris (IMS)

    In the wake of the US presidential election and the Brexit referendum, the Oxford English Dictionary chose the expression “post-truth” as its word of the year. This expression underlines the growing tendency to dismiss objective facts in favor of impulsive—and often prejudicial—feelings, frequently supported by “alternative facts.” The contentious relationship between the truth and lies, or truth and fiction, which is currently playing out in the public arena has, in fact, a long-standing legacy—one which can be traced back to the Middle Ages. For this reason, this year’s IMS conference seeks to investigate the variety of different approaches to truth and fiction that existed in the Middle Ages.

    A musical league of Nations?

    Music institutions and the politics of internationalism

    The role of music and musicians in forging international links either between or beyond national boundaries can sometimes seem unproblematic or even emancipatory, under the assumption that music can be socially transformative. Yet just as the project of political internationalism between and after the World Wars was not without its challenges, so too did musical initiatives sometimes find themselves in positions of compromise, ethical conflict or co-option into unintended agendas.This two-day symposium will focus on music institutions and initiatives that were explicitly shaped by the project of internationalism during the politically-charged twentieth century.

    Ce colloque a pour objet, à travers des études de cas ou dans une perspsctive comparative, de réfléchir sur plus d'un siècle d'histoire politique des principaux courants (nationalistes, conservateurs, gaullistes, libéraux, démocrates-chrétiens, socialistes, écologistes, communistes, de gauche radicale...) en s'interrogeant sur leur spécificité, leurs modes d'expression et leurs mutations dans la France de l'Est et les pays voisins, avant et après l'apparition de la Grande Région, comme en relation avec les interrogations récentes sur la mise en place du Grand Est.

    Urban governance and its disorders: Corruption in the cities

    The issue of corruption has, of late, become of growing interest to social scientists and historians although research in corruption in urban settings less so and the relationship of corruption to urban governance even less. The complexity of governance as distinct from government has raised questions, particularly since the 1980s, as state governments have sought relationships with private and voluntary actors to manage and deliver services and other public goods.

    European Space Agency's Space History Conference

    There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

    Germany and its Images in World Exhibitions

    The very first World Exhibition, held in London in 1851, presented industry as a thriving sector, a dreamworld offering man endless possibilities. This theme was a constant in subsequent Exhibitions, culminating in the Paris Exhibition of 1900, which represented a new highpoint for technological achievement. It was at this time, between 1880 and 1914, that Germany sought to impose itself as an industrial giant. By the time of the Exhibition of 1904, held in the American city of St Louis[1], German industrialists were working harder than ever to achieve recognition from their peers around the world.

    Female resistance. Writing commitment in the 19th and 20th centuries

    Nombreuses sont les femmes qui ont lutté contre l’oppression qu’un tiers, physique ou moral, exerçait sur elles. Cette résistance, individuelle ou collective, a trouvé, et trouve encore, sa place parmi des héroïnes, célèbres ou anonymes, qui font entendre leur voix dans le but de bouleverser les codes sociétaux et culturels. Ces modes d’inscription de la résistance au féminin contre l’adversité se vérifient le plus souvent à travers les textes personnels (autobiographies, journaux, mémoires, correspondances), mais aussi à travers les textes journalistiques et politiques qu’elles consacrent à leur engagement.

    Hospital, city and citizenship - experiences past and present

    Souvent premiers employeurs des villes où ils sont installés, objets de débats politiques et de mobilisations citoyennes, en particulier au moment des regroupements, fusions et désaffectations d’établissements, les hôpitaux sont au centre de la vie économique, sociale et politique des cités. L’objet de ce colloque est de mettre en évidence l’ancienneté de l’emprise urbaine des hôpitaux dans la ville, mais aussi  du lien entre ces espaces de soin et d’assistance et les sociétés urbaines.

    John Stuart Mill and Revolution

    De la Révolution française au printemps des peuples de 1848, John Stuart Mill a beaucoup écrit sur les révolutions. Il est en ce sens un témoin précieux des bouleversements politiques de son siècle. Ainsi, bien que l’idée de révolution ne fasse à aucun moment l’objet d’un traitement systématique, la référence au phénomène révolutionnaire, du point de vue historique aussi bien que théorique, est omniprésente dans son œuvre, se rencontrant dans une diversité de textes de nature et d’intention différentes. Marque caractéristique de son époque, la révolution constitue en outre un matériau privilégié pour la constitution d’une philosophie de l’histoire. Pourtant, ces textes restent aujourd’hui encore très peu étudiés. L’objectif de ce colloque est donc d’engager une réflexion sur le statut de la révolution dans la pensée de Mill.

    Deliberative and scriptural practices of urban consultancy in times of crisis (13th-15th century, southern Europe)

    Les assemblées délibératives et conseils urbains médiévaux participent, à partir du XIIIe siècle, à la formidable expansion de la scripturalité de gouvernement. À partir de l’émergence des gouvernements populaires italiens, se systématise l’enregistrement des réunions. Que ce soit sous la forme d’instruments publics ou de registres tenus de façon continue, la mise par écrit de procédures essentiellement orales les formalise et leur donne une validité juridique. Une première journée d’études tenue l’an passé Aix-en-Provence a permis d’identifier les spécificités des registres de délibérations urbains méridionaux. La réflexion portera cette fois-ci sur les tensions et conflits traversant les assemblées délibératives. Pour cela, seront examinées des périodes-clés dans la gestation, l’évolution et la diversification des écritures urbaines.

    Gomes Freire de Andrade: the man and his time

    In 2017 we celebrate the bicentennial of three remarkable moments in the history of Portugal, Spain, Brazil and the Ibero-American world, the so-called “Revolution of 1817”, in Pernambuco; the “conspiracy” of General Gomes Freire de Andrade against the British tutelage, in Portugal; and the failed liberal pronouncement of General Luis Lacy y Gauthier, in Catalonia, in favor of the Constitution of 1812. In view of the historical and historiographic importance of these events, the Centre for History of the University of Lisbon (CH-ULisboa), in collaboration with the Directorate of History and Military Culture, is organizing an international conference that aims to contribute to debate the crisis of the Iberian empires in the early nineteenth century and the emergence of liberalism and the politicization of Ibero-American societies.

    Power and media, media power Insights on the Americas

    Insights on the Americas

    For its 11th issue, RITA proposes to interrogate the links between power and media in the Americas. Several areas of debate can be suggested, although they should not be considered as exclusive. Articles making a critical analysis of official media as well as opposition media, in varied historical and geographical contexts, will of course be welcome. Other articles may deal with the treatment of popular movements by the media. Critical reflections on the relationship between media and economic power are also encouraged. The Thema section can also include analysis of the current diversification of information media by focusing, for instance, on the emergence of “alternative” media on the Internet, or on the power of fake news over the construction of collective representations.

    Wars and political violence in modern European and American societies (19th-21st century)

    “Amnis” Journal

    Amnis Review seeks to open up a reflection on the synergies that exist between war and political violence – both real and symbolic – and to ascertain to what extent the two phenomena are interlinked as well as how far they can be regarded as an essential area of research for gaining an understanding of the historical processes at work during a given period. To this end, Amnis proposes a long-term study focused on the contemporary period in order to analyse not only the impact of conflicts, such as the two world wars that left their mark on the 20th century, but also the consequences of the many civil wars, colonisation wars and the various other types of confrontations that have punctuated the history of European and American societies from the 19th century to the present.
