Italian Political Parties Facing Terrorism (1969-1988)

Perspectives for the history of French communism
Doctoral days
Ces journées d’études doctorales portent une ambition : organiser un espace de rencontre et de débat entre jeunes chercheurs, échanger sur les possibles lignes de force d’une « nouvelle histoire » du communisme français. Vingt ans après les polémiques autour du Livre noir du communisme et la réplique du Siècle des communismes, l’histoire du communisme reste un enjeu vif d’investigation.

“Medicalized” Childbirth as a Public Problem
Risk Culture(s), Gender Politics, Techno-Reflexivities
Obstetrical knowledge, technologies and practices have dramatically transformed women’s reproductive experiences worldwide. Medicalization of childbirth was accelerated in the XXth century by the displacement of childbirth from home to the hospital, and by the generalization of surgical techniques and pharmaceutical products. Medical interventionism took multiple, situated forms. Relying on cross-cultural investigations and field data from diverse national contexts (France, USA, Italy, Brazil, Senegal, Turkey, Switzerland, Canada…), this international workshop investigates how “technological” birth came into being, and how it is produced, problematized, framed, and negotiated in the XXIst century.

Student movements and (post-)colonial emancipations
Transnational itineraries, dialogues and programmes
This conference will discuss the transnational and connected history of student engagements in colonial liberations and the critical reflection on the multilateral management of conflicts in the postcolonial period. It will investigate internal and external tensions, and the reorganisation of these movements in relation to pacifism, revolutionary struggle, conflict prevention and peace making. It will also consider the impact of the new multilateral management of conflicts (through the United Nations, but also the European Union) on European and North American societies, including on young people and student movements, whose membership often goes far beyond national spheres.

Tracing mobilities and socio-political activism
19th-20th centuries
This doctoral workshop will explore to what extent the notion of “mobility” in current cultural and social theory (eg. Stephen Greenblatt, John Urry) can be fruitfully applied in historical research. Mobilities can be seen as cross-border movements of persons, objects, texts and ideas.

Communicating Politics. Media, Communication, Activism from the French revolution to the present
L'Ecole d'été « Communicating politics. Media, Communication, Activism from the French Revolution to the present » se tiendra à Padoue, en Italie, du 19 au 24 septembre 2016.

Trop souvent considérée exclusivement comme une terre dont on sort, l’île de Cuba est généralement observée comme une terre dont on s’exile. Or, c’est oublier que, au moins depuis 1492, c’est une terre vers laquelle on converge, on arrive, on émigre, on s’asile et on se réfugie. Cuba est donc aussi une terre d’accueil et d’asile. Le but de ce colloque est d’envisager, dans une perspective historique (celle des faits et des idées), Cuba comme une terre d’asile sur trois étapes chronologiques : 1802-1898, 1902-1959, 1959-2016. On s’interrogera pour savoir jusqu’à quel point, depuis le XIXe siècle, la réalité insulaire et la position géopolitique particulière de l’île (objet de convoitise entre divers empires, située à la frontière entre le monde latin et anglo-saxon, etc.), ont été des constantes qui ont marqué l’histoire et la construction nationale cubaine ; ou si au contraire, la rupture de 1959 permet l’avènement d’un nouveau schéma politique dans les rapports induits par l’évolution des relations internationales dans le cadre de la Guerre froide.

Transnational mobilisations and social actors - new research horizons
7th study day of the "Belgium and the contemporary world" group
La VIIe journée du groupe de contact « Belgique et mondes contemporains » interrogera les mobilisations sociales transnationales, du XIXe au XXIe siècle, porteuses de revendications sociales, éthiques, culturelles, écologiques, etc. Depuis les combats pour l’extension du droit de suffrage ou la journée de huit heures jusqu’aux mobilisations du forum social mondial et aux marches pour le climat en passant par l’internationalisation des actions syndicales, de nombreux cas d’étude permettent d’illustrer les connexions et les interactions transfrontalières, encore facilitées par l’accélération des transports et les nouvelles technologies de l’information.

Conference, symposium - Geography
Geo-economic and geo-political approaches
The aim of the conference "Contemporary Crisis and changes" is to question these contemporary upheavals through both a geo-economic and a geopolitical reading. The conference will provide elements of analysis and compare them especially with contemporary representations of globalisation emphasizing in particular the logic of closure that seems to characterize this phenomenon.

Commune and community in the writings of Tiqqun and the Comité invisible
On peut dire après-coup – sur le moment, peu s'en sont aperçu – que dans le monde intellectuel finalement assez atone de la fin du XXe siècle, la publication de deux numéros d'une revue éphémère, Tiqqun 1 et Tiqqun 2, aura constitué un événement. Les textes de cette œuvre collective ont en effet revigoré la critique sociale et la pensée politique radicale, ce qui en a fait réfléchir – ou affolé – plus d'un.

Literature and culture in the transition to democracy in Spain
La transition vue des marges
L’objectif de ces 1er journées d’étude sur « Littérature et culture de la transition espagnole : la transition vue des marges » est donc d’aborder l’histoire littéraire et culturelle à partir du travail mené par ces mouvements contestataires ou ex-centriques, en soulignant ces manifestations dissidentes comme reflet ou représentation de cette période ; comme une entrée nécessaire pour comprendre les mutations, réajustements, capitulations, innovations qui ont peu à peu composé le tissu littéraire et culturel de ces années-là, et qui expliqueraient les chemins suivis au cours des décennies suivantes.

Rock and Violence in Europe (1950's-1980's)
This event is the first of two conferences, the second of which will take place in 2019 under the sponsorship of the History department at California State University, Long Beach. The first component, at Rouen, concentrates on Europe, while the second part, on the same theme, will focus on the situation in the Americas. The purpose of these two events is to gain an understanding of the place of rock in contemporary culture and to define its significance and impact in our societies. From this starting point, the conferences will also endeavor to consider the part of legend that encompasses the myth of rock music. The association between rock and violence, however fantastical and artificially constructed, is a given which has penetrated the music's history during the second part of the twentieth century; in some ways, the recent dramatic events at the Bataclan have highlighted this in an extremely tragic manner.

Militantism and Re-Compositions in Latin America
Re-composition of Militantism, Militant Trajectories and Constructions of Political Elites
This dossier aims to reflect equally on two issues central to the political reconfiguration of formerly militant activism in the most recent period of Latin American history. The first concerns the phenomena of political transformation of former militants and the networks and routes used by former militant actors to politically transform themselves. Many of these have been structured around the strategic positioning of radical political commitments, in addition to the development and integration of new generations of activists into partisan life. The notion of re-composition (translated from the French reconversion) seems appropriate in order to elaborate specifically the political landscape of formal and state connections in different cultural contexts of militantism. The second issue concerns the reconfiguration of militancy in societies that have undergone neoliberal reforms imposed in the last decades of the past century and the development of new approaches to the resistance to the neoliberal state.

Prim@ Facie, Vol 15, No 29 (2016)
We are especially interested in manuscripts on social rights and democracy. Our intent is to prepare a set of discussions on how democracies promote social rights today, i.e., to what extent social movements, legal institutions, parliaments and executive power are able to find solutions to the challenges of democracies today? Have, for example, affirmative action, housing and health care programs, and even direct financial assistance to the poor actually reduced inequality? In addition, what are the most effective solutions for poverty? Are courts the best way to ensure social rights today? We are also interested in papers that address the costs of social programs. These are some of the possibilities, but many other questions may be brought to the table. We encourage submissions based on historical approaches carried out by jurists, political scientists, historians, sociologists, and other professionals in fields that have particular focus on legal problems.

Comparative approaches between Latin America and Europe
Terrain, borders and the meaning of culture and politics
Cette journée d’études interrogera les interactions entre l’Amérique latine et l’Europe. Il s’agira d’une tentative de confronter le flux des idées et des échanges culturels promus par les événements politiques des deux côtés de l’Atlantique. La journée se structurera en deux axes. D'une part, sera abordée la question des identités politiques en focalisant l'attention sur les transferts d'idées comme forme de construction des sémantiques politiques. De l'autre, seront analysées et débattues les différentes formes de gestion, coopération et diffusion des biens culturels, notamment à partir des influences et des échanges culturels entre l'Amérique latine et l'Europe.
