Women in War in France, Britain, and Ireland in the early 20th century
The international conference “Women in War in France, Britain, and Ireland in the early 20th Century” aims to question and expand our understanding of what it means to be a “woman in war.” Through the experiences of women in France, Britain, and Ireland, this conference will explore the multiple forms of women’s engagement and the obstacles they faced in securing recognition and a legitimate place in the collective memory of their nations.

Domesticating Irish nature : past and contemporary approaches and practices
This international colloquium held in Grenoble, combining workshops, roundtables in addition to thematic panels, therefore also invites contributions that explore the representations at stake when the environmental history and prospective future of Ireland are involved. This exploration may be achieved through the intersecting lenses of ecocide, resource exploitation, and ecological resistance or use of nature as a place allowing for an escape from the usual modern globalized ultraliberal capitalistic rat race. We seek interdisciplinary interventions—historical, literary, legal, political, ecological, artistic—that investigate how nature in Ireland has been used, abused, and reclaimed in the face of economic pressures and environmental degradation.

In-betweenness: interdisciplinary perspectives on Irish culture
This conference explores the notion of in-betweenness as a defining feature of Irish culture, history, and artistic expression. Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives from literature, history, linguistics, and the arts, it examines how liminality, hybridity, and transitional identities shape Ireland’s past, present and future. By investigating the thresholds between languages, traditions, territories, and narratives, the event aims to foster dialogue across disciplines and highlight the creative, political, and cultural dynamics of Irish in-betweenness.

Things Unsaid, Things Unwritten during the English Restoration (1660-1714)
Aussi conventionnelle qu’oxymorique, l'expression de « non-dit » remet en question la binarité supposée entre parole et silence. L’expression thématise à la fois une absence, un manque (de mots), et porte néanmoins en elle la trace manifeste d’une présence. Du moins pour qui sait la déchiffrer. Car le silence du non-dit est, en réalité, une invitation : à comprendre, à deviner, à faire accoucher un sens qui ne veut, ou ne peut pas se dire. Le non-dit porte en lui la trace d’un effacement, mais aussi d'une résistance obstinée. Le non-dit est un silence qui dit quelque chose. Comment repérer les signes d'un silence qui n'en est pas un ? Comment reconstruire avec certitude un discours absent ? Ce projet prolonge la réflexion lancée à l'occasion du colloque « Consentir, refuser, céder : Spectres de la conquête à la Restauration (1660-1714) ». Il a pour vocation de constituer un groupe informel d'étude interdisciplinaire sur la Restauration.

Breaking New Grounds: Democratising Gardens and Gardening in Great Britain, 19th-20th centuries
This conference stems from a reflection on the social and political dimensions of gardens and gardening in Great Britain ranging from the Victorian and Edwardian eras to the post-war period. Pondering on “People’s Gardens,” Vita Sackville-West claimed that “we have been called a nation of shopkeepers; we might with equal justice be called a nation of gardeners” (Sackville-West 1939). Her assertion insists on a sense of community, portraying gardening as an inclusive affair spreading across the country to amateurs along professionals who undertook training in botany and horticulture. Yet, such inclusivity needs to be qualified and addressed, taking into consideration class and gender: how was gardening dependent on class in Britain in the 19th and 20th centuries? How did class condition gardening practices? How did men and women’s experiences of gardening or access to gardens differ?

Un musicien et pianiste européen
Amédée Méreaux, son œuvre et son temps
Qui se souvient aujourd’hui d’Amédée Méreaux ? L’homme et le musicien n’ont certes pas totalement disparu de la mémoire de Rouen, où une petite rue éloignée du centre-ville porte encore aujourd’hui son nom. Néanmoins, cet artiste n’évoque aujourd’hui plus grand chose, même aux spécialistes de la période romantique. Pourtant, Amédée Méreaux (1802-1874) est une personnalité importante du monde musical à l’époque de Berlioz. Le colloque s’inscrit dans le cadre du 150e anniversaire de la disparition d’Amédée Méreaux. Il sera l’occasion d’étudier son parcours pluridisciplinaire, à la fois pour mesurer l’ampleur des tâches accomplies par le musicien que pour évaluer la cohérence globale d’une pensée artistique ayant le clavier, la classe et la plume pour véhicule. Quel regard porte Amédée Méreaux sur son temps ? Et quel impact ses recherches historiques ont pu avoir sur ses contemporains ?

1715-1716: The Apex of Jacobitism?
Origins, Representations, and Legacies: Essays in Honour of Daniel Szechi
This collection of essays, entitled ’1715-16 : The Apex of Jacobitism ? Origins, Representations and Legacies’, in honour of the life work of Professor Daniel Szechi aims to re-evaluate the 1715 rising in its broader international context and within the heritage of the long eighteenth century. Contributors who have encountered the Jacobite rising in their respective fields, for example, while studying its industrial, intellectual, and scholarly impact from the Treaty of Union to the present, are invited to propose their contributions. As Jacobitism was a ubiquitous landmark of the eighteenth century, researchers are invited to question the military, political, literary, and/or cultural significance of the rising. The editors are particularly interested in consequential research on the rising through a comparative perspective in the interdisciplinary fields of literature, material culture, and travel or media studies.

Retrophilia, Nostalgia, and the End of Pop Culture
The purpose of this publication is to question and re-evaluate Simon Reynold’s 2011 statement that “We live in a pop age gone loco for retro and crazy for commemoration. […] Could it be that the greatest danger to the future of our music culture is … its past?” One decade after Reynolds’s thought-provoking analysis, one may wonder whether this assumption is still relevant today. Can it be extended to other objects of pop culture (films, series, music, video-games, tatoo art, etc.)? In the Post-pandemic age, is pop culture still fixated on its (and our) past? Is this “addiction” to the past a regressive trend or, on the contrary, an opportunity to reassess modern history and re-evaluate its legacy and its representation in popular mass media? In terms of forms and formats, can something “radically new” emerge from nostalgia?

Postures ventriloques (XVe-XVIIIe siècles)
Depuis la plus haute Antiquité grecque et latine et à travers tout le Moyen Âge, les historien·nes, philosophes, littéraires et artistes ont mis en scène des personæ féminines et leur ont donné une voix. Qu’elles relèvent de l’ethos de l’amante éplorée (pensons aux poésies de Sapho ou aux Héroïdes d’Ovide), de la femme cruelle, de la jeune fille chaste et pure ou de la vieille d’origine modeste, ces « voix » féminines modulées à la première personne présentent une grande diversité d’ethe. Si on retrouve bien évidemment ces mêmes « voix » dans l’histoire, la littérature et les arts d’Ancien Régime, les bouleversements socioculturels importants que connaît la première modernité (XVe-XVIIIe siècles) et qui amènent une transformation radicale du rapport des femmes à la culture ont entraîné une modification profonde des enjeux et modalités qui entourent leur prise de parole. Le quatrième colloque du CIREM 16/18 (Centre interuniversitaire de recherche sur la première modernité) vise à préciser la nature et l’ampleur de cette modification dans la construction du genre.

The politics of culture: the first "new left" in Britain (1956-1962)
Intellectual contexts and heritage
La « nouvelle gauche » (New Left) désigne un vaste ensemble de mouvements politiques et de courants d’idées qui émergent d’abord en France et en Angleterre dans les années 1950, puis dans les années 1960 aux États-Unis et dans le reste de l’Europe, ainsi qu’en Amérique du Sud et au Japon. Cet ensemble très divers se caractérise par une forte mobilisation étudiante, un rejet conjoint du stalinisme, du capitalisme consumériste et de leur commun militarisme, et la recherche de nouvelles manières de vivre et de lutter. Cette journée d’étude interdisciplinaire s'intéressera à la « nouvelle gauche » anglaise dans sa première phase (1956-1962) et explorera sa fécondité intellectuelle et son rôle dans l’avènement des cultural studies.
