    Transnational dimensions of dealing with the past in ‘Third Wave’ democracies

    Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the Former Soviet Union in Global Perspective

    This conference aims to fill the gap by looking at how post-dictatorial justice and memory experiences in Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union after the “third wave of democratization” have reciprocally affected each other. It also seeks to unpack how memorialization practices in these regions were shaped by and influenced in turn criminalization discourses in other geographical contexts (Latin America, Asia, Africa). The conference focuses on transnational activism, transfers of knowledge, and expertise at bilateral, regional or international levels, the impact of legal and mnemonic narratives outside their countries of origin, and the role of international organizations and NGO's in dealing with mass violence. The conference aims thus to trace the mutlidirectional circulation of ideas, norms and models of reckoning with authoritarian regimes both within these regions, and between them and other areas of the world.

    Building the alliance

    The implementation of France’s commitment in Central and Eastern Europe in the interwar period (1917-1939)

    The aim of this conference is to shed light on joint practical initiatives between France and all the allied countries of central Europe during the inter-war period to concretely build the alliance between the partners. France’s collaboration with the member states of the Little Entente (Czechoslovakia, Romania, Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes) — and of these powers amongst themselves — will be emphasized, but communications on the ties with the other Allied Powers or partners from the region (Poland, the Baltic States and Finland, Greece, Turkey), and even with the revisionist powers (Soviet Russia, Hungary, Bulgaria) are welcome.

    Complexity and megadata in the social sciences

    Les phénomènes peu prévisibles semblent surgir de dynamiques complexes. Alors que ces « cygnes noirs » sont définis comme des données aberrantes (outliers) d’un point de vue statistique, il est intuitivement assez évident qu’avant l’éruption de chaque phénomène il a dû exister une accumulation de facteurs. La chute du mur de Berlin, la crise financière, Brexit et l’élection de Trump sont seulement les plus visibles de ces échecs de la prédiction institutionnalisée ou bien des basculement d’opinion. Le glissement de l’Europe Centrale et Orientale dans une direction conventionnellement nommée populiste et nationaliste suscite relativement peu d’attention, mais pourrait déboucher sur un événement comparable aux précédents. Qu’en Turquie le mouvement de Gezi Park ait été suivi par le « coup » reste sans explication, comme s’il s’agissait d’événements appartenant à des histoires différentes.

    The mediatisation of memory - history and media construction

    L’histoire et sa construction médiatique

    La conférence internationale « La médiatisation de la mémoire : l’histoire et sa construction médiatique » est l’un des événements organisés par la FJSC (Facultatea de Jurnalism și Științele Comunicării) et l’Université de Bucarest pour la célébration en Roumanie, en 2018, du Centenaire de la Grande Union. Dans un tel contexte national, la célébration et la commémoration, en tant que composantes significatives de la mémoire collective, deviennent des processus interactifs qui comportent des espaces de référence, des (re)cadrages temporels, l’implication de divers groupes (représentants officiels, médias ou les survivants et leurs familles) et les principaux vecteurs de la commémoration (de la musique et des icônes aux monuments).

    Administrative accountability in the later Middle Ages

    Records, procedures, and their societal impact

    The emergence of new types of financial records, the creation of institutional procedures, and the birth of a bureaucratic corps in a society in which accountability had been largely social and moral represent key developments in the history of the later Middle Ages. The colloquium will explore the multifaceted reality of administrative accountability in Western Europe, c. 1200-1450. Because the renewed interest in the subject makes methodological exchanges all the more timely, the colloquium will provide a venue for testing new approaches to the sources. Special attention will be given to underexplored archival documents, such as the castellany accounts (computi) of late-medieval Savoy, and to topics that have hitherto received less attention, such as the social impact of institutional consolidation. Comparisons with better-known texts, such as the English pipe rolls, are also encouraged.
