  Around the notion of Sacer

  Parmi les notions que l’Antiquité nous a léguées, celle de « sacer » compte parmi les plus complexes. Attestée dès les périodes les plus reculées de l’histoire romaine, on la trouve aussi chez d’autres peuples de la péninsule avant qu’elle ne soit réinvestie de dimensions nouvelles sous l’Empire, puis sous l’Empire chrétien. Cette journée souhaite donc rouvrir le débat sur le sens de cette notion, en faisant sa place à la fois aux autres peuples de l’Italie antique et aux propositions récentes d’interprétation, à l’image de celle de G. Agamben. En s’écartant volontairement du comparatisme diachronique et thématique (car on ne peut comparer que ce que l’on connaît déjà), cette journée se concentrera essentiellement sur Rome et ses voisins, pour la période républicaine, jusqu’au Haut-Empire.

  Re-Imagining democracy in the Mediterranean

  Insurgency, regeneration and nation-building (1750-1860)

  Historians have applied the terms ‘democracy’ and ‘democrat’ to the past in their own ways and for their own purposes. We want to get behind historians’ usages and develop an understanding of how contemporaries used the term and its cognates. Who talked about ‘democracy’ and its cognates in Italy at this time? To refer to what? What did it connote?  To what extent was it used to talk about institutions, or about political culture, or about social phenomena? How was usage affected by the word’s classical inheritance and connotations, to what extent by the French revolution or other modern developments? Who called whom a democrat? Who positively identified with the cause of democracy – and why?  In what social milieux was the term used – did it have any popular currency? Within what larger semantic field did it operate? How did patterns of use vary by region and change over time?

  À l’occasion de son 40^ème anniversaire, l’Association française d’histoire religieuse contemporaine dédouble sa journée d’études annuelle : une journée sera consacrée à des ateliers jeunes chercheurs. Elle portera sur les rapports problématiques unissant magistères religieux et modernité. Il appartiendra aux spécialistes du « fait religieux » d’aborder cette question dans une perspective résolument comparatiste et en se penchant sur les aspects méthodologiques qu’elle soulève. Quels choix méthodologiques et conceptuels font les chercheurs, et pourquoi ?

  African students in the USSR and other former Eastern Bloc countries (1960–1990)

  From national histories to an international context

  On the one hand, we need to reexamine the evolution of Soviet politics and USSR strategies for cooperation, especially with African countries, development aid in the broader geopolitical context in which academic and cultural exchange programs, and the circulation of students and elites took place.On the other hand, we have to link the mobilities of students and elites to the evolution of national politics pursued by African countries, especially as far as their academic, economic, and industrial policies are concerned.The goal is also to compare this dual historic contextualization of mobilities of the students of the African countries to the historical changes that took place in the relations that such countries had with former colonizing countries after winning their independence. Finally, all of this research will be analyzed in the light of the history of the knowledge and scientific fields involved and cultural representations of Africa developed in partner-country societies.

  The limits of law

  Le colloque « Aux limites du droit » veut rappeler que le droit n’est pas une discipline isolée, et qu'il ne peut être considéré comme un système à part qui ne subirait aucune influence en provenance de l'extérieur. Loin d'être pur et rigide, le droit se montre souvent plastique et instrumental. L'ambition de ce projet est de réfléchir sur la vaste question de la nature du droit par la réunion de personnalités scientifiques reconnues et de praticiens confirmés.
