    Sufism in an Age of Transition

    Bringing together established and early career scholars working across a range of disciplines, including history, anthropology and political science, the Workshop is intended to deepen our understanding of Sufism in Pakistan not as a ‘degraded’ form of Islamic mysticism but as a living tradition ever responsive to wider social and political changes at the local and national levels.  By doing so, it hopes to shed light on the resilience of Sufism to survive the challenge of more ‘modern’ forms of reformist Islam sweeping Pakistan as well as Sufism’s capacity to withstand the historical pressures brought to bear on it by the state’s own ‘modernist’ agenda.

    Das Büro als Interieur (1880-1960)

    Die sog. «zweite industrielle Revolution» steht für ein signifikantes Wachstum des tertiären Sektors (Banken, Versicherungen etc.) ebenso entstehen sowohl in der Industrie wie in den Ämtern und Behörden neue Verwaltungseinrichtungen. Damit einher geht eine massive Erhöhung der Angestelltenzahlen. Der Angestellte wird zu der sozioprofessionellen Figur der urbanen Moderne, wobei der berufstätigen Frau zunehmende Bedeutung zukommt. Die Tagung beschäftigt sich mit der Entstehung des Büros, um die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen physischem und sozialem Raum, Materialität und Praktiken, Strategien und Taktiken, Strukturen und Individuen zu analysieren. Ebenso soll das Büro in eine historische Perspektive gerückt werden, soll das Augenmerk auf die Bedeutung des Büros für die Strukturierung und Transformation der soziokulturellen Gegebenheiten von der vorletzten Jahrhundertwende bis Ende der 1950er Jahre gerichtet werden.

    Historical Sources and Transnational Approaches to European History

    CENDARI Summer School

    The CENDARI project, in collaboration with the COST Action: IS 1005, Medioevo Europeo: Medieval Studies and Technological Resources, will host the first of three annual CENDARI Summer Schools in Florence, Italy. Sessions will apply the concept of ‘transnational moments’ to examine ways in which historical research is complicated by the nature of material records of the past. The Summer School will provide a context for the various collections-level challenges to transnational history, such as how to identify sources that have become ‘hidden’ or lost through accidents of history.

    Performing Documentation in the Conservation of Contemporary Art

    Contemporary art conservation requires a re-assessment of the distinction between the work and its re-configuration in documentation. Although documentation is crucial for the survival of many contemporary works of art, it is never neutral: all approaches, formats, media and systems have their own inherent affordances and blind spots and always transform what they document. Furthermore, in process-centered, technology-based or performative artworks in particular, we often can no longer make a sharp distinction between an original work and its subsequent documentation or replication: documentation is part of the work's very core.

    Sport Tourism and Local Sustainable Development

    Prospective of the globalization effects. Actors strategy and responsibility

    The knowledge about sport tourism today is at the same level as the economy of sport was at the beginning of the eighties, at least in Europe. A quick overview on what is done today concerning the investments in sports tourism shows that the same mistakes are done everywhere and the development of Sport Tourism without knowing the long term effects avoid to optimize the short term economic results and impacts the long term results. One of the purposes of the IRNIST is to propose a definition of the concept as to gather the scientific community and build the basement of a new part of the studies concerning tourism.

    DfD – Design for Desertification

    The main aims of this International Conference are to gather articles and presentations that can contribute to enrich the debate on territorial consequences of rural-urban migration, depopulation and desertification. One of the consequences of several years of migration from rural to urban areas in Portugal, as it leaves the villages in the interior of the country depopulated, is cultural genocide. Design for Desertification is a research project that contextualises these issues within the Portuguese territory showing how economic decline, desertification and depopulation are interconnected and how rural development could present a solution to economic decline.

    Rethinking the Political and the History of Politics in Chile: Languages, Discourses and Practices of Power

    The objective of this colloquium will be to debate and analyze politics and the political by means of the different forms of language, discourse and practices that intervene in the construction of the social world. There are myriad examples of this in Chilean history. Taking history, political philosophy and political economy as the starting points, we invite doctoral candidates, researchers and academics to participate in this truly trans disciplinary  space of debate, reflection and feedback whose goal is not only to unite a community of researchers into “the political” in the republican period but also to select the best works presented for a future publication in the format of a collective work or a special dossier of a scientific publication.

    Transfers of precious metals and their consequences (17th-20th centuries)

    After the first Round Table, in Paris at the École normale supérieure in January 2012, "Moneys and Economies during 19th Century, from Europe to Asia", a second Round Table will be organized in the framework of the program DAMIN, in cooperation with the Casa de Velázquez and the LabEx TransferS (École normale supérieure, Paris). Precious metals were often transferred from a region, or a country, to another: looting of conquered regions (such as Roman Spain, Gaul or Egypt), invasions (Vandals, Huns invading the Roman Empire, Crusaders arriving at Constantinople), and, of course arrival of gold and silver from Americas after 1492. Each time, the new metal disturbed the monetary systems, sometimes improving, sometimes troubling the currencies and economies. The period considered is focused on the 19th century, the question of the depreciation of silver and the transfers of metals from America or Europe to Asia, India, China, etc.

    Ensembles résidentiels fermés

    Vingt-cinquième conférence du réseau European Network for Housing Research

    Le phénomène des « communautés fermées », « ensembles résidentiels sécurisés », « quartiers fermés » ou encore « enclaves fortifiées » suscite depuis quelques années un vif intérêt de la part de la communauté scientifique. Différentes perspectives théoriques et conceptuelles ont été mobilisées au sein de différentes disciplines pour analyser ce phénomène complexe et multidimensionnel. La 25ème conférence du réseau ENHR - European Network for Housing Research invite à s'interroger sur les modalités d'intégration de ces ensembles résidentiels fermés dans l'environnement urbain.

    Women in Educated Elites of Pre-Socialist and Early Socialist East Central European Societies

    The opening up to modernity of East Central Europe since the late 19th century was marked – among other things – by a triple process generating structural transformations of established post-feudal societies and affecting often radically the status of women. Due to post-feudal conditions of competition for social standing, positions of influence and prestige, hitherto unknown forms of inequalities appeared in the very process of accumulation of political, economic, professional, cultural an educational assets henceforth necessary for the access to the elites. Female professionals, though they could rarely achieve advanced careers in the ruling elites in the old regime, so much so that they often encountered even various forms of public rejection and discrimination on intellectual markets, significantly participated in the framing of the way of life of the new middle class. This workshop will adopt a gender-focused perspective cocentrating on the place of women (training, education, professions) and bringing to light the differences and inequalities existing between male and female members of educated elites.
