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.

Remembering Communism in South and Central-Eastern Europe
Politics and Cultures of Memory After 1989
Examining both the countries of the former Soviet bloc ‒ Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, the former Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic ‒ and the area of the former Yugoslavia and Albania, where communist regimes but not aligned with the USSR were established, the monographic issue of Qualestoria aims to investigate how, in the course of the now thirty-five years that have passed since 1989, the cultures of memory and the official memory policies promoted by the institutions have changed, questioning also the public use of the history of communism. The issue invites potential contributors to submit essay proposals that develop both analyses of individual country cases and comparative approaches.

Drinking in the Nordic and Germanic Countries
Vice & Virtue Project
As the first part of the international, multi-annual “Vice & Vertu” project, the aim of the “Drinking in the Nordic and Germanic countries” conference is to examine past and present practices of “drinking” and to explore the normative issues involved, from the medieval period to the present day. “Vice et Vertu” (V&V) is a multi-year international research programme supported by the Universities of the Sorbonne, Caen, Turku/TIAS, Umeå and Oslo. The V&V project also aims to integrate young and up-and-coming researchers into Northern European and Francophone research networks through seminars, workshops and colloquia organised at partner universities in France and Northern 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.

Cooperation and Controversy. The 14th Annual International Conference on Baltic and Nordic Studies
The purpose of the conference is to shed light on cooperation and controversy aspects in Scandinavia, the Baltic Sea Region, and beyond. It examines the two topics through the lens of cultural and literary studies (including arts such as drama, theater, cinema, etc.), history, economic and trade analysis, political science, military analysis, and international relations, among other multidisciplinary angles. We thus invite researchers from all of these fields to submit proposals for panels and individual papers, thereby facilitating inter-disciplinary dialogues at the conference.

Under the Sign of Saxo. History, Identity and Nation in the History of the Danes
In most European countries, the formation of national identity is a phenomenon whose birth is traditionally situated between the 18th and 19th centuries. This is also the case for Denmark where the loss of Norway in 1814 and the 1864 defeat to Prussia and its Austrian ally are of particular importance. The premises of this phenomenon are however already perceptible in the Middle Ages, the Gesta Danorum (The History of the Danes), occupying a primordial place in this respect. The symposium intends to study the constitution of a Danish national identity by focusing on Saxo and his work, albeit not exclusively.

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.

Religious Actors advocating Human Rights in the Helsinki process - Part II
New research perspectives on the non-state actors in view of the 50th anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act (1975–2025)
The Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) born of the Helsinki Agreements (1973-75) is often described as one of the main diplomatic achievements of the détente era, and a crucial milestone towards ending the Cold War. Yet not only diplomats played a part in the process. Non-state actors and NGOs also did their share by lobbying CSCE staff and conference attendees for Human Rights and Religious Freedom violations behind the Iron Curtain or they started political discussion processes in the public sphere of their respective countries. Drawing on the most recent research on this topic, this online workshop aims at further exploring human rights activists involved in the Helsinki process, at the interface between the Dissent and the Western public, and between state and other private networks.

ReThinking Europe in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea Region
The 11th annual international conference on Nordic and Baltic Studies
Brexit has just happened and its consequences are not yet fully comprehended. Would the outcome be a return to a status quo ante the Brentry of 1 January 1973 in British-EU relations? Would Britain become a sort of bigger Norway tightly connected to the EU, but yet not fully a member of the united organization? Would Britain really continue to exist as such? Would Scotland, not to mention other territories, emulate London and decide on their own Brexit, this time from the United Kingdom, in order to rejoin the EU? Would actually Brexit become a pathway for other skeptical EU nations? Would Brexit rocket exclusive forms of nationalisms? Would the whole of united Europe collapse, on the long run, as a result of Brexit as the League of Nations had become toothless after the US Senate had vetoed the Pact of League of Nations? But what effect is going to have Brexit on Scandinavian countries which historically have been closely connected to Britain? How is it reflected in Scandinavian intellectual milieus, in mass-media, in public discourses? What about the Baltic states which received a strong support from Britain in key moments of their history, for instance when Royal Navy came at the rescue of Estonian and Latvian independence following World War I or in the process of re-enactment of Baltic sovereignty after the collapse of the Soviet Union?

Christina, Queen of Sweden at the crossroads
L'université de Bourgogne (laboratoire CPTC), en collaboration avec l'Assocation Christine de Suède, organise un colloque international sur le thème « Christine de Suède à la croisée des chemins » les 5-7 octobre 2020 à Dijon. Nous voudrions nous pencher ici sur cette « matière de Christine de Suède », de façon comparatiste et transversale, sans exclusive. L’idée maitresse de notre réflexion sera celle d’une Christine de Suède « à la croisée des chemins » : croisée des chemins européens (elle est passé à Dijon, ce dont le colloque se souviendra), personnage entre les « genders », personnage entre les « genres », personnage entre les savoirs.

Conference, symposium - History
Imagined Identities and Communities in the Late Middle Ages
On December 9 and 10 of this year, the “Cultures i Societats de l'Edat Mitjana” (CiSEM) research group, led by Dr. Antoni Furió, professor of medieval history at the University of Valencia, will hold a conference with the title: Imagined Identities and Imagined Communities in the Late Middle Ages. Far from being strictly contemporary creations, nations, the most elaborated product of imagined communities, had their relevance throughout the medieval centuries. The most recent historiography has tried to establish the mechanisms that contributed to building this type of imaginary in which, according to some anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists, collective identities are taking an increasingly prominent role in international geopolitics. For this reason, this process is presented as a great opportunity to discuss the most recent historiographical contributions, and to try to shed more light on a transcendental historical phenomenon on the evolution of human societies.

Lands of heroism, tyranny and false christianity
Lithuania and the “margins” of Europe
The aim of these two sessions is to explore the place of Lithuania within the geopolitical and social sphere of Europe during the later Middle Ages. The first looks to explore the encounters between Lithuania and the other political and religious groups that held stakes within the Baltic arena. The second session will examine the various perceptions Christian Europeans had of Lithuania and place it within a larger reflection on the image of the so-called “margins” of Europe in the Western European discourse.

The politics of the Arctic in perspectives
Loin désormais d’une image d’un espace arctique unifié, gelé et exotique, ce colloque aura à cœur de discuter et de réfléchir sur la diversité de ces mondes arctiques en s’appuyant sur des recherches innovantes et transdisciplinaires. Les liens entre différents prismes d’analyse – géographique, stratégique, historique, politiste etc. - permettent de voir dans la région arctique un espace particulièrement sensible à la recomposition de la scène politique internationale comme aux bouleversements climatiques qui modifient singulièrement cette région vulnérable.
