The Phanariots have long animated the historiography of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Southeast Europe. Contemporary political commentators, as well as historians seeking to construct national(ist) narratives, branded the Phanariots with critiques of corruption, foreign interests, and the legacies of the Ottoman past. Yet, scholars have conducted scant research on how and why “Phanariots” and “Phanariotism” came to signify corruption, bad governance, and a seemingly inescapable Ottoman past after 1821. This workshop tends to this gap in historiography.

Interest groups in post-socialist Central Europe
A comparative analysis of historical, political, economic and cultural changes
In 2024, Ukraine adopted a law on lobbying in order to meet the requirements of the European Union as part of its accession process, which aims in particular to promote a culture of transparent lobbying. These rapidly evolving practices in Central Europe are at the heart of renewed research into the various links between political and administrative actors and private actors: what is the current state of knowledge?

Carcéralité(s) politique(s) en Europe centrale, orientale et balkanique aux XXe et XXIe siècles
La Société française d'histoire politique (SFHPO) et le Centre de recherche Europes-Eurasie (CREE-Inalco) organisent une journée d’étude sur le thème des carcéralités politiques en Europe centrale, orientale et balkanique aux XXe et XXIe siècles. Elle vise à questionner le sens et la nature des carcéralités politiques selon les types de régimes ou les périodes ; le rôle de leurs acteurs, qu’il s’agisse en premier lieu des prisonniers politiques ou des administrations et des pouvoirs politiques à l’origine de ces mises en détention ; la place des lieux ou anciens lieux de captivité comme espace de politisation ou comme source d’identité politique et/ou de conflits mémoriels ; les productions politiques en milieu carcéral.

From the 1880s to the 1980s, student dissidence/resistance in Central-Eastern and Southeastern Europe often came into contact with protest movements in other parts of the world, combining social protest with political and civic struggles. The aim of this conference is to study the dissident/resistant student press produced both in Central-Eastern and Southeastern Europe and by students from these countries abroad.

Divided memories and political-cultural imaginaries in post–Cold War Europe
"Europe: cultures, memories, identities" Journal, no. 1 / 2025 (first issue)
This journal is especially devoted to the study of the dynamics of memories and of cultural identity representations which have shaped the spaces of experience, the horizons of expectation, and the sociocultural imaginaries in “Europe’s Europes” in the 20th and 21st centuries. It provides a special outlet to the analysis grounded in cultural memory studies, and particularly in contemporary theories of “agonistic memory”, considered as a “third way”, that of the research of an equilibrium between the contraries embodied in the two competitive paradigms which have disputed their hegemony in the European area, particularly since the end of the Cold War: the cosmopolitan/ transnational one, and the national(ist)/ antagonistic one.

During the age of revolutions, West European politicians, scholars, and popular writers often characterized South-East-Central Europe as a corrupt political space. Notables from the region routinely echoed these claims. Those in and outside of South-East-Central Europe mobilized commentaries on “corruption” for their own political, professional, and personal gains. They used the idea of corruption to assert, for instance, that they knew to run more honest and efficient administrations, military regimes, and commercial operations. The conference organizers welcome paper proposals that employ a (de)constructivist and/or sematic approach to study the concept corruption and its relationship to the rise of (West European) modernity. Submissions should focus on Central-South-East Europe from the 1750s to the 1850s. Applicants working on regional micro-histories that situate changing notions of “corruption” in a transnational context are especially encouraged to apply.

Memory, perception and politics of empire today
The study of empires is a dynamic field; we are constantly revising our knowledge of empires, inspired by newly discovered sources as well as new approaches. The context of historical writing itself significantly influences our perception of imperial history. Post-imperial realities also force us to rethink the empire. This special issue of Diacronie. Studi di storia contemporanea invites contributions that present perspectives on how we remember and study the empires that collapsed at the end of the First World War.

Civil Engagement Transfers between Eastern Europe and the Low Countries, 1933-1989
Agency and action in Czech, Slovak, Hungarian and Polish émigré communities during the Cold War
This special webinar celebrates the launch of the project’s public heritage exhibition atkadocheritage.be. This online exhibition contains a selection of contributions produced by the project’s partners, outlining a wealth of civil society mobilizations by Central and Eastern European migrants in the Low Countries during the period 1933-1989. The exhibition’s purpose is to emphasize the potential that forgotten stories like these can play in curating the heritage, commemorating, and documenting the histories of the unique circumstances that these Central European émigré communities faced, living in Belgium and the Netherlands, during this tumultuous period of modern history.

Patterns of Miscommunication in Contemporary East-Central European Cinema
We would like to invite scholars from the fields of film, media and communication studies, but also of linguistics, literary studies, political studies, anthropology, etc., to a joint reflection on East-Central European contemporary cinema. Much of East-Central European cinema after 1989 seems to thematize the issue of communicational barriers. If we posit, with Casetti, that films are sites of production and circulation of discourses, which can be interpreted as symbolic constructions referring to a cluster of meanings conveyed by a specific society at a moment of its existence, then what are the meanings transmitted by this cinematic reflection on communication blockage? What are the main cinematic discourses developed around miscommunication issues? To what extent do they create a common imaginary for this part of Europe?

Éditer en exil en temps de régimes autoritaires en Europe médiane (1918-1989)
À l’occasion de cette journée, il s’agira d’appréhender l’Europe médiane entre 1918 et 1989, à la fois comme lieu de départ de dissidents à des régimes autoritaires s’exilant ailleurs dans le monde et lieu d’accueil pour certaines éditions d’exil. L’attention se portera avant tout sur l’expérience liée à la création de maisons d’éditions dans ces différents contextes. De Paris à New-York, de Berlin à Rome, en passant par des villes comme Prague ou Bucarest, ce phénomène éditorial constitue un objet d’étude en soi, ainsi qu’un observatoire privilégié pour mieux cerner les différentes dissidences ainsi exprimées. Une place particulière est occupée au sein de ce corpus par l’édition allophone, autrement dit, les publications dans des langues autres que celles établies / reconnues comme officielles et / ou minoritaires dans l’espace où elles voient le jour.

Les lieux du politique en Europe centrale, orientale et balkanique, 1790-1990
Les lieux institutionnels
Longtemps considérée comme périphérique, l’Europe centrale, orientale et balkanique, – espace hétérogène possédant néanmoins certaines dynamiques propres bien identifiables – a progressivement retrouvé sa place dans une historiographie dynamique et renouvelée grâce aux apports de l’histoire transnationale, globale ou connectée. Le premier volet de ce futur rendez-vous pluriannuel intitulé « Les lieux du politique en Europe centrale, orientale et balkanique, 1790-1990 » sera consacré aux lieux institutionnels.

The globalisation of revolutionary ideas in the wake of the Napoleonic wars
The 1820s from the Balkans to La Cordillera
L’année 1821 est celle où des mouvements indépendantistes voient le jour aussi bien dans des provinces ottomanes du Sud-est européen – comme la Morée – ou dans des régions vassales du sultan – comme la Valachie ou la Moldavie. Ces soulèvements viennent s’ajouter aux tendances centrifuges déjà manifestes chez des hauts-dignitaires ottomans désireux de s’émanciper de l’autorité centrale et d’imposer leur propre ordre en Épire ou en Égypte, à l’instar de Ali pacha de Tepelen ou de Mehmet-Ali de Kavala. Ce colloque a un double objectif. D’un côté, il s’agit d’étudier les événements déroulés dans les Balkans en ce début des années 1820, comme un ensemble historiographique. D’un autre côté, il s’agit de les inscrire dans un contexte idéologique et sociopolitique dépassant les frontières de cette péninsule et établissant des liens et des connexions avec des acteurs et des séquences historiques survenant à la même époque ailleurs dans le monde.
