Transitions to democracy in Spain and Chile - a retrospective look at "examplary transitions"
Un regard rétrospectif sur des « transitions exemplaires »
L'Espagne et le Chili ont souvent été présentés, séparément ou non, comme deux expériences exemplaires de transition à la démocratie. Malgré de nombreuses différences entre ces deux pays, la péninsule ibérique ouvre dans les années 1970 et le Chili ferme ce qui a été appelé par Samuel Huntington dans un article célèbre (repris dans un livre par la suite), la troisième vague de la démocratie. Lors de cette journée d'études, nous chercherons à dresser dans un premier temps un bilan historiographique de ces études qui ont été à l'origine de l'émergence, au sein de la science politique d'une sous-discipline connue sous le nom de transitologie. Le deuxième temps de cette journée d'études sera consacré aux élites qui ont conduit ces processus démocratiques.

"Tracés", an interdisciplinary journal, vol. 33
The French-language, interdisciplinary journal Tracés invite contributions from all the social sciences and humanities for its 33rd volume, which is due to be published in 2017. This themed collection will engage with land and its uses as social issues. From colonial expansion to new migrants in rural areas, from carbon offsetting to landless peasant movements, the collective relationship to space and its productive uses seems to be a rather diverse collection of problems. However, all of them point towards the legal, technical and economic framing of land and they call for interdisciplinary modes of intellection that are not averse to geographical and ecological aspects and insights. This issue will assemble studies that seek to shed light on the past and contemporary politicization of land and land resources. Contributions in English are welcome, although publication will be in French.

Genealogical rationality and social status in the Enlightenment
La généalogie est un puissant idiome de hiérarchisation sociale dans l'Europe d'Ancien Régime et garde son efficace bien au delà des transformations sociales portées par l'âge des Lumières. On s'interrogera dès lors sur les transformations qu'a subies, dans l’espace temporel qui va de Fénelon à Kant, cette forme particulière de connaissance qu’est la raison généalogique, ainsi que les usages qu’en faisaient les différents acteurs sociaux.

Bourg-en-Bresse
Conference, symposium - History
La Bourgogne et la Savoie étaient encore à la fin du Moyen Âge des régions de frontières, des « marches », dans lesquelles les pratiques de fidélité, fondement de la société politique médiévale, s’enrichissaient d’une tradition de service multiple. Les grands bouleversements politiques auxquels ces territoires furent soumis à partir de la fin du XVe siècle renforcèrent la dimension stratégique des choix familiaux et des politiques princières autour d’enjeux majeurs tels que le contrôle de l’espace, le désir d’autonomie de la noblesse ou encore les conséquences de la rupture de fidélité, autant de thèmes explorés par les quinze communications de ce colloque.

The 1970s in Europe: A transnational turn for political cultures ?
The central question for this workshop involves a concept and a periodisation: if we accept the postulate that the second half of the 20th century was marked by various forms of “transnationalisation” of European political cultures, did the 1970s represent a turning point in this major phenomenon?

The history of languages - the languages of history
Discursive training of the historiography of languages
La thématique de cet ouvrage collectif se situe au carrefour de l’histoire (interne et externe) des langues et du linguistic turn qui a cours, au plus tard depuis Foucault, en science historique. L’objectif est d’analyser des formations discursives – fondatrices, convergentes, divergentes – qui, dans des contextes socio-historiques déterminés (voire, ce qui pourrait être soumis à l’analyse, déterminants) s’inscrivent dans des historiographies tant savantes que populaires de langues.

The Culture and Politics of Resentment
Fung Global Fellow Program - Princeton University
Each year, the Fung Global Fellows Program selects six international scholars to be in residence at Princeton for one academic year and to engage in research and discussion around a common theme. During the academic year 2017/18, the program theme will be “The Culture and Politics of Resentment.” Resentment is a powerful emotion for expressing culture and politics. Experiences and memories of humiliation, oppression, and marginalization have stimulated emotions of resentment, and produced compelling demands for political inclusion and justice around the world. Alternatively, rage against what is seen as the “tyranny of the minority,” inequality, the corruption and aloofness of elites, the “foreign,” and the illegitimate have generated powerful populist upsurges against the perceived enemies of a homogeneous body of “the people.”

Student movements and (post-)colonial emancipations
Transnational itineraries, dialogues and programmes
This conference will discuss the transnational and connected history of student engagements in colonial liberations and the critical reflection on the multilateral management of conflicts in the postcolonial period. It will investigate internal and external tensions, and the reorganisation of these movements in relation to pacifism, revolutionary struggle, conflict prevention and peace making. It will also consider the impact of the new multilateral management of conflicts (through the United Nations, but also the European Union) on European and North American societies, including on young people and student movements, whose membership often goes far beyond national spheres.

Society, culture, community in the United Kingdom (1970-79)
This two-day conference focusing on British society of the 1970s seeks to enlarge and to alter perspectives on the period. The intention is to examine the dynamic of contradiction, inventiveness and tensions that is at work. The intention of the conference-organizers is to circumvent and thus question any “teleological” or linear reading of the period in terms of the necessary “coming of Thatcherism” in the United Kingdom, where the politics and culture of the period are read as so many symptoms or omens of the 1979 election result. The aim is to focus on the plurality of conflicting possibilities evident in the period, and therefore on the contingency of outcomes.

IV Residência Cisterciense
O mosteiro e a cidade é o tema que nesta IV Residência Cisterciense em São Bento de Cástris vai preocupar investigadores e participantes deste já habitual Encontro de final de Verão no Alentejo, no findar da 3ª semana de setembro. A IV Residência Cisterciense em São Bento de Cástris procurará aflorar questões, lançar pistas de estudo que, não dando respostas, podem interessar jovens investigadores para trabalhos futuros e chamar a atenção dos investigadores séniores para a necessidade de releituras do mundo dos religiosos e, por aí, de muitas das realidades da história local e nacional. A permeabilidade que o tema deste ano suscita estará também presente nas diferentes trocas e experiências que podem vivenciar no mosteiro, especialmente ao nível cultural e artístico, apostando na sua relação com a cidade, que se pretende manter e cimentar.

La notion de diversité, une notion ancienne mais toujours d’intérêt dans l’espace scientifique et de l’action sociale, interroge aujourd’hui le renouvellement de nos façons de concevoir et de produire le vivre ensemble, nos mondes partagés, ainsi que les normes et valeurs définissant nos sociétés. Dans quelle mesure la notion de diversité – ses manifestations, ses représentations, ses politiques – est-elle toujours d’actualité comme analyseur des questions et défis de nos sociétés, des formes renouvelées de citoyenneté ?

Carolingian Lyon - around Agobard (816-2016)
Autour d'Agobard (816-2016)
Célébrant le douzième centenaire de l'élection épiscopale d'Agobard de Lyon (816-840), le colloque international Lyon carolingien mesure la part prise par Lyon dans l'empire de Louis le Pieux : la cité est une capitale intellectuelle et religieuse dont l'originalité vient relativiser l'uniformité du monde carolingien. Forte d'une tradition érudite exceptionnelle, incarnée par une bibliothèque épiscopale d'une extrême richesse, l'Église de Lyon résiste au centralisme franc tout en profitant du dynamisme politique du premier IXe siècle.

A Diplomacy to promote an emerging economy
Le développement implique un processus de libération et de transformation de l’ensemble des structures notamment mentales, politiques, socio- économiques, culturelles et technologiques. Au Cameroun, le Chef de l’État a proposé à ses concitoyens comme challenge, une vision devant mener le pays vers l’émergence à l’horizon 2035. Ce projet exige la contribution de tous les secteurs et l’implication de toutes les catégories nationales. Au plan sectoriel, la diplomatie, domaine de souveraineté par excellence, ne peut être qu’un pilier majeur de cette conquête.
