Postmodern Madness and the Reconstruction of Subjectivities
Research Program on Space, Time and New Technologies of the Self, 1st International Symposium
This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the links between madness, subjectivity, and postmodern narratives. Or, from a different angle, we seek to investigate the ways postmodern discourses encompass ideals of madness in relation to the construction of subjectivity. Schizophrenia, paranoia, perversion, deviation are often called upon and incorporated in the construction of the postmodern subject. How are these terms used to construct subjectivities in cultures in which anxiety, unreason, and disorder are the norm? How is meaning refashioned to pass from 'clinical abnormality' to forms of social 'normality'? How is this concept employed in constructing the postmodern subject in literature, movies, music, photography, painting, and other forms of art?

Occultism, Spirituality & Visual Culture
This two-day event is a collaboration between the Department of History of Art, University of Cambridge and the Arts University Bournemouth and is organised in association with the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism. The conference seeks to investigate the formative role that occultism and magic have played in Western and non-Western visual and material culture. It aims to present original research in this feld as well as to establish a productive dialogue between academics with a particular research interest in occultism and visual culture. We invite proposals from a variety of disciplines and perspectives, provided that they present innovative insights into visual, symbolic or material aspects of the esoteric tradition.

Rethinking the Dialogue Between the Visual and the Textual
Methodological Approaches to the Relationships Between Religious Art and Literature (1400-1700)
In recent decades, the interactions between religious art(s) and literature(s) in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period have been an important area of study for many scholars. More particularly, the study of the interconnectedness of texts and images and of the contact zones between visual arts and literature constitutes an emerging field that is particularly stimulating for both art historians and historians of literature. These scholarly interests generate a range of general methodological and theoretical questions: how can a text be used to understand an image? How can an image help to discern the meaning of a text? How do we interpret texts and images together in order to understand the religious culture of these periods? How do we consider them in relation to each other, without underestimating the specificities of each medium? What are the purposes of the combined study of these sources?

History: change and continuity in a Global World
PIUDHIST is an inter-university doctoral programme in which History is viewed from an inter-disciplinary point of view. Despite its unique character, History is regarded here as a field of knowledge which cannot do without a permanent cross fertilization with other areas in the humanities and the social sciences. In our vision, this is also why we consider apposite to attach, as a subtitle for this programme, the words “change and continuity in a global world”.

Everyday Life Practices of Muslims in Europe: Consumption and Aesthetics
This workshop sets out to understand the everyday practices of Muslims living in Europe. The diverse and various (non)-religious daily life practices indicate the non-defined boundaries of Muslims whose practices can be a part of the stigmatised-open spaces in public discourses. Examining the relationship between Islam and liberal democratic values, it is important to note what kind of practices and daily life experiences are exercised in private-public areas, which also determine the views and public perception of Muslims. The identification of Muslims with one or another practice is not a simply neutral matter; this entails also an attachment to liberal, communitarian and civil meanings. Regardless of the daily life activities, these perceptions of Muslims face the challenge that Muslims are not a fixed group, but they share the same practices that others have and do. Food and eating practices, consumer way of life, marriage, salutations; these banal practices of everyday life are central to discover the subjectivity of Muslims, or in other terms, a sense of the self, a way of embodiment.

Cinquantenaire des indépendances africaines : acteurs politiques marginalisés, oubliés, ressuscités
À l’occasion du cinquantenaire des indépendances africaines, les pays d’Afrique de l’Est et leurs diasporas, la communauté scientifique internationale ou encore les anciennes puissances coloniales dressent le bilan des réussites et des échecs économiques, sociaux et politiques. On constate cependant que ces inventaires, centrés sur les bouleversements des structures sociales, économiques et politiques, parfois sur les mémoires des pères de la nation et des grands récits nationalistes, négligent généralement de revenir sur des acteurs politiques, collectifs ou individuels, marginalisés dans les années qui ont suivi l’indépendance par les hommes qui ont incarné le nouveau pouvoir.

Quelles lectures des sources à l’ère numérique ?
After the inaugural DHLU Symposium in 2009 that focused on "Contemporary history in the digital age" and a second edition which tackled the methodological and theoretical implications of considering websites as primary sources (March 2012), this third edition will focus on the use of online thematic research corpora. Given that more and more sources for contemporary history are being made available online as digital research corpora — as on the CVCE’s site — and following on from the first two editions which examined the methods used to develop these sources, this third edition of Digital Humanities Luxembourg will focus on the various ways in which this material is used by humanities researchers, particularly contemporary historians and more specifically specialists in European integration.

Exploration, Navigation and Retrieval of Information in Cultural Heritage
ENRICH 2013 Workshop
A key challenge facing the curators and providers of digital cultural heritage worldwide is to instigate, increase and enhance engagement with their collections. To achieve this, a fundamental change in the way these artefacts can be discovered, explored and contributed to by users and communities is required. Cultural heritage artefacts are digital representations of primary resources: manuscript collections, paintings, books, photographs etc. The text-based resources are often innately "noisy", contain non-standard spelling, poor punctuation and obsolete grammar and word forms. The image-based resources often have limited associated metadata which describes the resources and their content. In addition, the information needs and tasks of cultural heritage users are often complex and diverse. This presents a specific set of challenges to traditional Information Retrieval (IR) techniques and approaches. This workshop will investigate the enhanced retrieval of, and interaction with, cultural heritage collections.

At the origins of the Euro-Med Partnership
Europe, the Mediterranean and Italy from the Second Oil Shock to the Barcelona Conference
The Conference will investigate how the 1980-1995 period, often considered a sort of lost time in Euro-Mediterranean relations, prepared this move. In particular, it will focus on major political, socio-economic and human-cultural trends in the Mediterranean region, the main aim being to properly contextualize the establishment of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, to overcome the separation between political-strategic, economic and human-cultural dimensions of regional dynamics and to evaluate the impact that migration flows and policies made on the complex of bilateral and multilateral relations in the Euro-Mediterranean region.

Crisis, Ideas and Policy Transformation
Experts and Expertise in European International Organizations, 1973-1987
Crisis and crisis experience were central to Western European history between the first oil crisis of 1973 and the coming into force of the Single European Act in 1987. European international organizations (IOs) such as the OECD or the EC played a crucial role in debating and addressing manifold dimensions of crisis, shifting discourses and transforming policies at national and European level. These IOs drew heavily on experts and their expertise in managing crisis and seeking solutions for structural problems. Organized jointly by the University of Portsmouth and Maastricht University, the workshop will investigate the diversity of experts and expertise cultures and analyze in comparative perspective different European sectors and policy fields. We invite paper proposals addressing the role of experts in European IOs, or advising them, in debating and managing crisis, diffusing ideas and transforming policies in the 1970s and 1980s.
