The Refugee-Migrant Distinction: Toward a Global History
The aim of this international conference is to more fully elucidate the relational nature of the distinction between refugees and migrants, its function in the wider field of migration, and its genealogy. While chiefly historical in focus, the conference will also foster interdisciplinary approaches and reflections.

“Diasporas” Journal
Focusing on a material and practical approach to ego-documents pertaining to researchers’ experiences of migration, this issue of Diasporas aims to rethink the reflexive return to these experiences carried out by researchers in the humanities and social sciences, wherever they come from, throughout the 19th and 20th century.

By choosing to focus on South-North circulations, this seminar is dedicated to the deconstruction of the “British Empire” as a homogeneous category to write and think about the intellectual, artistic, and political histories of the people who circulate and inhabit this polity known as the Commonwealth of Nations in the post-Bandung era. Working from the assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South have networked and connected within this space, we seek to interrogate the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era.

L’engagement politique à distance de la diaspora
Dès la fin du XIXe siècle, les migrations s’inscrivent dans des dynamiques transnationales mêlant mobilités économiques et engagements politiques. Les formes d’action transnationale des diasporas seront abordées dans une perspective comparée et diachronique. Ces journées d’études ont pour objectif d’explorer les enjeux politiques, économiques et symboliques de ces mobilisations : participation politique, remises migratoires, citoyenneté transnationale, luttes sociales, et politiques publiques envers les diasporas.

Call for papers - Early modern
Retours d’exil et minorités religieuses à l’époque moderne
Moins abordés par l’historiographie que les refuges religieux, les retours d’exil ont pourtant joué un rôle important dans le façonnage des identités confessionnelles entre le XVIe et le XVIIIe siècle. Ce colloque se propose de réfléchir à cette « zone grise » historiographique en interrogeant les apports de l’expérience de l’exil aux religions par le retour dans leur territoire d’origine d’individus ou de groupes réfugiés (revenants ou returnees), les modalités de ces retours (individuels, collectifs, clandestins, officiels, ...) et leurs effets sociaux politiques et culturels (concorde, réconciliation ou renforcement de la distinction confessionnelle et du zèle religieux, ...).

L’imaginaire des mises en connexion secrètes et des bas-fonds transnationaux du XIXe au XXIe siècle
Modern imaginations of an interconnected world often have a ‘dark’ side. In the nineteenth century there was an explosion in enthusiasm for the opportunities offered by new forms of international communication, trade, and travel, the emergence of cosmopolitan ideals, or the urge for international cooperation. Yet contemporaries also imagined a dangerous milieu of vice and crime generated by illicit flows and populated by a dubious cast of shady characters. Anxieties over espionage, conspiracies and secret plots became a widespread cultural pattern. Since then, a sinister mythology has never ceased to captivate the modern imaginary: that beneath the real world lies a connected underworld made up of clandestine threads and movements that transcend borders and stretch across continents and oceans. This international conference will investigate the imaginary of ‘dark networks’ from the nineteenth century to the present, intenting to move beyond simplistic success stories of globalisation and contributes to the growing interest of scholars in its ‘deviant’ sides.

Classifying, Counting, Modeling: What Contribution to Holocaust History?
This conference aims to bring together international researchers in Paris for two days (May 15th-16th, 2024). The conference will be organized around three main themes that will examine the history of how the Holocaust, persecution, and extermination have been measured: 1/ the history of numbers, which will question the practical production of statistics and counts contributing to the ordinary and scientific understanding of the Holocaust; 2/ the uses and controversies surrounding the measurement of the Holocaust; and 3/ the contributions and limits of methods for collecting and analyzing quantitative material for understanding the Holocaust.

Hegemons, warlords, and refugees
The 13th international conference on Baltic and Nordic studies
What is the legacy of the hegemonic pursuits of warlords that were drafted from among the Viking raiders, the German knights, the Scandinavian and Polish kings, and the Russian tsars and leaders on Baltic Sea Region and Scandinavia? In what ways was the region redesigned on the political, ideological, geographical, and cultural levels? Whether hegemony is defined in terms of political assertion or influence, especially by one country over other nations, masculinity, international leadership, regional hegemony, ideological hegemony, or hegemonic contestation, the term always connotes control, hierarchy, and dependency. What traces of their attempts have been left in culture, art, and public monuments throughout the course of time, and how are they considered in modern times ?

The image of North-Eastern Europe appears composite and complex. While its geographical conglomeration is cut across by the Baltic Sea, it is not a coherent area at a cultural and political level. Far from attempting to see homogeneous regions where there are none, the transnational interactions and mobility across the Baltic Sea in the last centuries are, besides historical realities, central nodes around whom regional linkages of solidarity and mutual understanding have been imagined. These constructions show that imagination operates also for linking distant spaces and uneven realities. Our aim is to investigate the birth, transformation, international success or lack of success as well as conflicts concerning the multiple imaginaries of North-East Europe, intended as the space which includes all the Baltic riparian states, plus Norway and Belarus, from a historical perspective, with a focus on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Fleeing the Nazis: the blessed exiles of Asia?
L’objet du colloque est d’analyser les traces des exilés ayant fui les persécutions nazies en gagnant l’Asie : il s’agit de savoir comment les uns et les autres ont géré leur présence et leur cohabitation avec les États d’accueil (membre de l’Axe, pays neutres), vécus et retranscrits avant, pendant et après la Guerre leur expérience singulière ou encore considéré ces rapports interculturels contraints.

Refugees and the (Global) Cold War
This international workshop will chart the intersection between refugee history and Cold War history. The most well-known connection between these two fields is the figure of the political refugee fleeing from the socialist East to the democratic West. As recent research in both areas has highlighted, however, forced displacement and Cold War competition were global phenomena. To explore the entanglement of refugee history and Cold War history in its full scope - including the above-mentioned anticommunist refugees, who remain a crucial part of the story - the workshop invites a broad range of contributions in terms of chronology, geography, and methodology, from PhD students, early career researchers, and established scholars.

Revolutionary cosmopolitanism. Transnational migration and political activism, 1815-1848
The period 1815-1848 not only was characterized by several waves of revolution in Europe, the Atlantic world and beyond, but also by large movements of migration. Although these migrations can often be associated with political uprisings, only few connections have been made between the study of migration history and history of political thought and practices. This one-day conference aims to bring together these different strands of research and to discuss how experiences of migration and cross-boundary mobility contributed to the formation of common revolutionary cultures in the period 1815-1848.

Panel - APAD conference 2020
How do texts, practices and tools related to the “migration and development” debate circulate? This panel offers to analyse the processes of imposition, translation or hybridization, along with “travelling models”, and the appropriation or resistance experiences of the different categories of actors involved in migration/development governance. We examine the transnational circulation of texts and narratives that have become references for development practitioners in the Global South; the performativity of technical and managerial instruments, case models and “good practices”; the changes in the intermediaries and brokers categories.

The papacy of Pious XII (1939-58) on the eve of the opening of the vatican archives
Historiographical appraisals and research perspectives
L’ouverture, prévue pour le 2 mars 2020, des archives vaticanes concernant le pontificat de Pie XII (1939-1958) a suscité un vif engouement. La richesse des archives romaines, qui débordent les enjeux strictement confessionnels, devrait permettre d’interroger à nouveaux frais cette période complexe et cruciale de l’histoire de l’Europe et du monde. Dans ce contexte, ce séminaire entend établir un état des lieux de l’historiographie abondante – et souvent polarisée – sur le pontificat du pape Pacelli, mais aussi identifier les thématiques innovantes et susceptibles de fédérer les recherches à venir en histoire et en sciences sociales.
