Conference, symposium - Urban studies
Innovative mobility and urban design. Mirroring contemporary metropolises
The symposium is an invitation addressed to both new and established researchers, as well as experts from both the private or public spheres, who seek to rethink - or even revolutionize - mobility as a societal problem and/or practice, as well as its relation to metropolitan territories and places, through fields of knowledge and action as varied as architecture, engineering, geography, new technologies, and others. The underlying premise of this event is that a new inter-disciplinary, inter-cultural and inter-stakeholder dialogue is necessary in order to respond effectively to the urban mobility issues put forward by the three pillars (social, political and cultural) of sustainable development. How to combine the growing necessity and desire for speed in travel, with the imperative of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gases? At the same time, how to achieve better quality public space dedicated to or crossed by mobility? How to ensure that the mobility of people, whether undergone or chosen, is part of a municipal and societal project that is acceptable and sustainable?

Minimising Risks, Selling Promises?
Reproductive Health, Techno-Scientific Innovations and the Production of Ignorance
Over the last decades, medical techno-scientific innovations have radically transformed reproductive processes at every level by putting the reproductive body under strict biomedical surveillance and submitting it to significant technological manipulation. Most of these innovations, often promoted as miracles and even revolutions, were generalised very rapidly thanks to ever-growing national and global markets. Their side effects on health were, however, insufficiently studied, or even ignored, until scandals (diethylstilbestrol, thalidomide, primodos, Dalkon Shield) or controversies (contraceptive pill, hormonal replacement therapy) unavoidably made them public. At the crossroads of STS, sociology of risk, medical anthropology, gender studies and ignorance studies, the aim of this international conference is to analyse the dynamics of ignorance production prior to, during but also after the rapid expansion of reproductive technologies, innovations and products.

Call for papers - Early modern
Methodologies, objectives, perspectives
In the last four decades, scholars have begun to go beyond the traditional perspective of linguistic and literary studies, and to consider the translations as cultural practices and the result of various processes of cultural and intellectual “negotiation” between two different contexts. In recent years also historians have progressively started to take a close interest in translations as sources to investigate the ways in which knowledge and ideas were constructed, disseminated, re-elaborated and assimilated in new cultural, social and political contexts. The aims of this international conference is to encourage an interdisciplinary dialogue on these problems, bringing together scholars, graduate students and early career researchers from Translation Studies, History, History of Book, History of Science, Literary Studies and related disciplines who are interested in discussing methodologies, objectives and perspectives in the study of translations.

Conference, symposium - History
Le phénomène des fraternisations en temps de guerre englobe des réalités diverses traditionnellement divisées en deux champs de recherche : les fraternisations entre soldats ennemis au front et les fraternisations entre les combattants et la population civile à l’arrière. Bien que les fraternisations soient récurrentes dans les conflits franco-allemands, aucune étude comparative n’a jusqu’alors été effectuée en vue de se pencher plus particulièrement, dans la longue durée, sur ce phénomène.

Wood in all its states - restoration and preservation projects of buildings at the crossroads
8th study day at the École de Chaillot
Les premières constructions monumentales du néolithique tardif en Europe l’attestent déjà : le bois est fondation, fait structure et constitue charpente ; il incarne très tôt l’étai et, à ce titre, s’impose rapidement comme l’élément constitutif du projet de conservation des structures. Le bois interagit étroitement avec les autres matériaux, dont il est l’interface, et avec son environnement. Spécialistes du matériau, de ses composantes, de ses pathologies, experts des études préalables et du diagnostic, maîtres d’œuvre intervenant sur le bâti patrimonial questionneront les problématiques historiques jalonnant les usages éprouvés et pluriels du bois : architectures, sols, charpentes, décors et menuiseries sont autant de traités de pathologies dont s’emparent désormais les outils numériques au service du diagnostic.

Seminar - Epistemology and methodology
1st cross-border seminar of the Alcotra TRA[ce]S project (The transmission of archaeological research in the southern Alps)
L’interaction entre les territoires, la recherche scientifique et le développement touristique et économique est au cœur du projet franco-italien TRAceS, inscrit dans le cadre de la programmation Interreg Alcotra 2014-2020. Ce premier séminaire transfrontalier a pour objectif de proposer un partage d’expériences entre les différents participants au projet, afin d’éclairer les enjeux soulevés par la transmission de la connaissance archéologique et l’implication de ses différents acteurs professionnels : scientifiques, professionnels du tourisme, gestionnaires de sites et de musées, techniciens du patrimoine, etc. Il s’agit plus largement de dresser un panorama des pratiques des deux pays et de l’implication des différents acteurs.

Thinking, translating and transmitting artefacts in their multiple facets
Production and interdisciplinary and cross-border exchange, from Antiquity to the present day
Ce séminaire, interdisciplinaire et international, a pour ambition de réfléchir sur l’artefact, questionné dans ses multiples facettes. À ce titre, toutes les formes d’artefact feront l’objet d’une analyse croisant différentes approches. Qu’est-ce qu’un artefact pour un historien, un archéologue, un géographe, un sociologue, un économiste ? Comment chacun l’appréhende-t-il dans son domaine de recherche et d’action ? En quoi le questionnement de l’artefact éclaire-t-il des approches qui peuvent finalement se compléter et interagir ? Les exemples qui seront présentés tenteront ainsi d’illustrer ces différents questionnements.

Conference, symposium - History
The life of medieval prose in the dawn of modernity
Le milieu du XVème siècle se caractérise, notamment, par l’émergence de bouleversements profonds pour la production, la circulation, la transmission, voire la canonisation de la culture écrite occidentale. La diffusion s’accélère, les œuvres partent à la rencontre d’un public plus ample et plus diversifié et de nouveaux acteurs font leur entrée dans les circuits de transmission. Ce changement de rythme et de fonctionnement a principalement été étudié sous l’angle du mode de production, au départ du circuit imprimerie/humanisme et en mettant l’emphase sur ce que la Modernité naissante introduisait de nouveauté en termes d’écart, d’altérité, de rupture, voire de polémique. La perspective sera ici inversée, et c’est davantage l’angle de la continuité qui déterminera la vision. Le Moyen Âge, en effet, poursuit son avancée dans le temps, et le ‘long Moyen Âge’ dont parle Jacques Le Goff peut s’appréhender d’une façon très concrète à partir précisément de la transmission des textes médiévaux en langue française dans l’Occident et dans la Méditerranée.

Conference, symposium - Modern
Male Bonds in Nineteenth-Century Art
The conference will probe, challenge and expand upon the academic narrative of male homosociality through the lens of art history. It aims to establish an overview of a variety of male bonds that underpinned nineteenth-century art, and to consider the theoretical and methodological implications of the study thereof. In so doing, it seeks to build a bridge between traditional art-historical scholarship and the fields of gender and gay and lesbian studies: an interdisciplinary exchange of which the full potential for scholarship on the nineteenth century remains to be exploited.

Unknown masterpieces - workshop of the Société des études romantiques et dix-neuviémistes (SERD)
Atelier de la Société des études romantiques et dix-neuviémistes (SERD)
Quelles œuvres inconnues peuplent la bibliothèque fantôme, le musée imaginaire et la musicothèque fictive de la littérature du XIXe siècle ? Quelles relations entre l'artiste et son public ces mystérieuses créations induisent-elles ? De quelles conceptions historicisées de l'œuvre d'art sont-elles porteuses ? Comment se donnent à voir et à entendre ces œuvres doublement invisibles ? Cet atelier de la Société des études romantiques et dix-neuviémistes (SERD) se propose d'envisager la dimension heuristique de tous ces « chefs-d’œuvre inconnus » qui hantent la littérature du XIXe siècle.

German lecturers in Belgium - the circulation of legal knowledge and law teaching
Circulation des savoirs juridiques et enseignement du droit
L’histoire des transferts culturels fait preuve aujourd’hui d’un dynamisme inédit. La relecture récente des phénomènes nationaux à la lumière des échanges internationaux et des flux transnationaux contribue à redéfinir la façon dont les frontières nationales sont à considérer, particulièrement pour le XIXe siècle où le modèle de l’État-nation s’est développé. L’importance des mouvements transnationaux affecte des domaines à la fois politiques, économiques, sociaux ou encore scientifiques. Le droit et les savoirs juridiques ne sont évidemment pas exempts de ces transferts. Les transferts culturels et la circulation des savoirs reposent sur un substrat de facteurs variés. Se pencher sur la question des professeurs de droit allemands en Belgique ce n’est pas s’éprendre uniquement de la question du droit, de l’enseignement du droit et des influences entre aires nationales juridiques. C’est également aborder des terrains qui ont trait à l’histoire des idées, des migrations, de la science et plus globalement de la vie académique.

This is a one-day workshop on the plurality of reconciliation practices in post-conflitc societies. What various meanings are assigned to the word ‘reconciliation’ in the different communities where such initiatives have been implemented? How may conflicting interests or views be reconciled? The organisers also wish to study the influence of historical factors, and assess how the accounts of those seeking reconciliation have evolved over time. An analysis of past initiatives will also be relevant. Finally, a distinction between nationally and locally devised initiatives may be made to better assess the policies implemented, their sustainability, and their impact on the local communities. This is a cross-disciplinary workshop and submissions by researchers in Humanities or Political and Social Sciences will be welcome.

Versailles
Networks and Sociality at Court
The court was a microcosm of society under the Ancien Régime. The royal family and the great noblemen were not only in each other’s company, but they also rubbed shoulders with a whole crowd of office-holders of greater or lesser importance, who ensured the smooth running of this mechanism...Versailles has launched a research axis on “Networks and Sociality at Court” and wishes to publish articles related to this subject on the Bulletin du Centre de recherche du château de Versailles.
