Concevoir l’environnement. Des arts décoratifs au design
Cet atelier a pour objectif d'esquisser une compréhension de l’évolution de la conception de l’environnement dans le cadre de vie du début du XXe siècle à nos jours en s’appuyant sur l’actualité de la recherche dans le domaine des arts décoratifs et du design. Comment les décorateurs du début du XXe siècle puis les ensembliers l’après-guerre abordaient-ils cette question autrement qu’aujourd'hui ? Quelles différences dans la valeur sociale et dans le rôle du récepteur (amateur/classe moyenne/consommateur) à ces différentes époques ? Le croisement des conceptions à trois périodes clés (arts décoratifs - design fonctionnaliste - design thinking) permettra d'éclairer une approche de l’environnement d'un point de vue historique et transversal et de nourrir une réflexion sur un aspect significatif du design et des arts décoratifs.

Le Sport des Sourds, d’hier à aujourd’hui, est-il un sport de combat ?
Un siècle après les premiers Jeux internationaux silencieux de Paris (10 au 17 août 1924) et la création de l’Internationale sportive des sourds (16 août 1924), la France et la ville de Paris accueillent en 2024 les trente-troisièmes Jeux olympiques et les dix-septièmes Jeux paralympiques. À cette occasion, nous proposons de revenir sur une histoire peu explorée par les sciences humaines et sociales, celle du mouvement sportif Sourd et de son ancrage politique dans le mouvement « silencieux » depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. Ce colloque réunira les acteurs du monde de la recherche mais également du mouvement sportif Sourd et paralympique avec en ligne de mire une réflexion sur les enjeux politiques, historiques et culturels des Deaflympics et des Jeux olympiques et paralympiques et sur ce que ces événements sportifs disent sur nos sociétés contemporaines et sur la place qu'elles réservent à certains groupes comme celui des personnes en situation de handicap.

Space and scale in missionary agency (1880–1920)
The symposium revolves around the question of the agency of the Christian missionaries and their sending organizations which have been, to varying degrees, major actors of social and cultural mutations among the people and societies they worked with. Through the diverse presentations from scholars of various geographical and academic fields, we hope to get a better understanding of the impact of European and North American Christian missions at the turn of the twentieth century, and spur greater interest on this subject.

La fabrique des relations internationales depuis les Amériques latines
Acteurs, pratiques, objets et espaces de connexion au XXe siècle
Cette rencontre sera l’occasion de penser la fabrique des relations internationales depuis les Amériques latines en s’appuyant sur des réflexions récentes autour de la diplomatie culturelle, la Guerre froide globale, les circulations étudiantes et militantes, ainsi que l’émergence de nouveaux acteurs internationaux ou l’élaboration de normes internationales. En partant de l’hypothèse que les Amériques latines sont traversées par les principales dynamiques qui participent à la construction de l’ordre mondial depuis la fin du XIXe siècle jusqu’à nos jours, ces journées d’échanges ouvriront un espace de discussion autour de trois axes structurants : les espaces, les pratiques et les objets, et enfin, les acteurs et les actrices.

Visegrad Scholarship at the Blinken – Open Society Archive (OSA) on the language(s) of freedom(s)
Academic year 2024-2025
The criticism about infringements of academic freedom, or about the radicalization of autocratic powers cannot do without an understanding of the loaded vocabularies of freedoms in the past and present, for both societies and their elites. A complex rethinking and recontextualization of the thinkers of liberties, including from the Cold War era, must also be undertaken, together with the truth-seeking adventures and projects from the past. Historians, researchers, political scientists, sociologists and socially engaged artists are invited to reflect on the past uses of the languages of (attaining) freedoms by taking cues from the Blinken Open Society Archive's collections. The applicants are encouraged to reflect on the connections as well as on the differences between current times and the past by following some recommended sub-topics listed below.

Decoding European History through Guns: Methodologies and Research Approaches
What are firearms? How did they impact on the history of European societies? What are the more promising research approaches for studying them? Firearms hold profound implications for European societies, influencing international relations, the diffusion of violence, and State sovereignty. This workshop will convene researchers examining themes such as the relationship between European States and guns, global efforts to regulate arms markets, the role of firearms in changing the societal perception of violence, and the semantic nuances defining these instruments. Through exploration of diverse research methodologies, the workshop aims to highlight the significance of firearms as both a subject of scholarly inquiry and a lens for examining critical aspects of contemporary history, shedding new light on the European past – one trigger pull at a time.

A Geography of (Art) Historians
The Comité International d’Histoire de l’Art (CIHA) and the Comité International des Sciences Historiques (CISH) during the Cold War
The Comité International d’Histoire de l’Art (CIHA) and the Comité International des Sciences Historiques (CISH) played a crucial role in the advancement of scholarship in the fields of Art History and History during the Cold War. We invite submissions of 20-minute papers exploring the history of these international organisations and their role in fostering transnational networks, cultural exchanges, and theoretical and methodological debates between scholars. We are also interested in local structures and the impact of international meetings on the development of national historiographies. We especially encourage papers focused on the Eastern Bloc and the Global South.

Changes in property rights and land regulation
Global and historical perspectives
How do land reforms affect land access and property rights? Who are the actors of these transformations? Does such evolution contribute to the commodification and financialization of land? How do urban regulations produce informalities and affect socio-spatial dynamics? This half-day thematic seminar seeks to delve into these key questions with two roundtables. Aiming to inform today’s urban transformations through law and history, the six presentations will cover different contexts as diverse as Istanbul, Northern Italy, rural China, Madrid, and colonial Bombay, spanning from the 14th century to today.

Thinking and Making Europe through the Experience of Exile and Displacement (20th–21st centuries)
The conference will explore the role of displaced and exiled populations in the construction of Europe, whether they came from European countries or other regions of the world. Taking a resolutely multi-disciplinary approach, the conference will especially focus on the period that began with the Spanish Civil War and the outbreak of the Second World War, although it will not exclude looking at earlier periods. The central question will be to examine how these actors conceived of and made Europe – how they contributed to its construction, or on the contrary to its failure. We will explore how these populations experienced European conflicts, violence, and control mechanisms, in other words the resources, uses, representations, and statements that have shaped this Europe on the move.

The Normalized, the Normalizers and Their Cinemas
Czechoslovak and Soviet Films of the 1970s
In both cinemas—that of the “normalizer” and that of the “normalized”—the political and economic stagnation reinforced by stochastic censorship and disillusioned society often leads to peculiar examples of mismatched ideology and aesthetics allowing for viewing them as accidental camp classics today. What structural changes do Czechoslovak studios undergo in the wake of the Warsaw Pact invasion? What thematic and aesthetic choices can be attributed to their moment in film history on both sides of the Iron Curtain? How does the soaring number of light entertainment genre like melodrama, comedy or musical correlate with the current events? Last but not least, the questions of actors’ agency in the face of state repression and censorship, of reevaluation of the immense corpus of films created during the late-Communist era feel relevant in Russian and Central European cinema and culture in general today.

Literatur and Psychiatrie revisited, 1920–1970
Momente gegenseitiger Beobachtung | Moments d'observation mutuelle
Le colloque se consacrera à la relation entre littérature et psychiatrie après « l’âge d’or de l’aliénisme » ( Castel 1977) en examinant des moments d’observation et de description mutuelles qui se déroulent entre l’apparition des avant-gardes et l’apogée de l’antipsychiatrie européenne. Faudra-t-il adapter les catégories d’analyse littéraire et d’histoire des savoirs qui ont fait leurs preuves dans l’étude du XIXe siècle lorsqu’il s’agit d’explorer les relations entre l’écriture littéraire et le savoir psychopathologique dans le contexte des bouleversements poétologiques et épistémologiques survenus depuis l’entre-deux-guerres ?

Polarisation of British and American societies
Causes, consequences, perspectives
The growing polarisation within American and British societies raises profound questions about the mechanisms by which public opinion is influenced and the political and social transformations that ensue. This polarisation expresses itself at several levels, notably between different age groups, between levels of education, and between urban and rural areas. We assume here that the apparent polarisation of US and UK societies has increased in recent years, not least due to the rise to power and tenure of Donald J. Trump in the US and the vote in favour of Brexit in the UK. The aim will be to understand how these two events have acted as catalysts reinforcing divisions already present and creating new forms of divisions.
