Transições. Percursos, linguagens e estruturas em tempos de mudança
O ritmo acelerado das mudanças históricas marcou a época contemporânea e, em particular, as últimas cinco décadas. No âmbito do século XX, sucederam-se experiências de mudança com tipologias e relevâncias variáveis, tendo afectado não só as estruturas (estados, instituições, partidos, etc) como também os indivíduos e a própria linguagem. Poderá, assim, afirmar-se que as mudanças, ou as transições, numa interpretação mais abrangente do termo, foram centrais nos processos históricos. Contudo, poucas propostas oferecidas pela ciência histórica têm refletido sobre este fenómeno – as transições e as suas consequências – num contexto geográfico e temporal alargado.

Cinema, theatre and the visual arts
À soixante-dix ans de la fin du second conflit mondial, nous pouvons toujours apprécier en Italie l’abondance d’une production artistique multiforme qui ne cesse d’évoquer, d’explorer et de réélaborer le souvenir de la dictature italienne. Cette multiplicité des expressions mémorielles se situe non seulement dans la pluralité de leurs supports visuels mais aussi dans la source même de ces souvenirs. c’est à la lumière de cette évolution historique, historiographique et générationnelle que nous souhaitons interroger le réservoir d’images, de paroles et de gestes mobilisé par les artistes depuis 1945. Comment ces mémoires, directes ou indirectes, se déclinent-elles au cinéma, dans les arts plastiques, au théâtre ? Quels usages et quels objectifs mémoriels visent-elles ?

Music and attachment - places, territories and musical stages
Lieux, scènes et territoires musicaux
Depuis une décennie les travaux de géographes francophones sur la musique, mobilisant les avancées des recherches anglophones et des terrains européens et internationaux, ont démontré la pertinence de la « géomusique » à la fois comme champs à part entière de la géographie, mais aussi comme épistémologie féconde dans le tournant culturel de la géographie.

The writings of reception: textual practices of mediatic readers
Genre en séries : cinéma, télévision, médias journal no.7
Ce numéro de « Genre en séries : cinéma, télévision, médias » entend rassembler des travaux qui prennent pour objet les pratiques textuelles des publics médiatiques et qui mobilisent, de différentes façons, le prisme du genre (gender) pour sa capacité à éclairer tant les contenus consommés que les discours suscités.

Dimensions socioculturelles et usages politiques
Profitant du contexte olympique, HistoireEngagee.ca souhaite ouvrir un nouveau dossier thématique visant à examiner, avec une perspective historique, les enjeux, les crises et les scandales politiques, économiques et sociaux qui entourent parfois l’organisation et la tenue de grands événements sportifs. Au-delà de ces aspects, c’est également une réflexion sur les pratiques sportives elles-mêmes que nous souhaitons mettre de l’avant, en tenant compte de leurs origines complexes et variées, des dimensions sociales et culturelles du sport et de l’activité physique, de la résonance et du symbolisme d’exploits, d’événements et de personnalités marquantes à travers les époques, ou encore de la portée politique du sport.

The presence and uses of the camel (Camelus dromedarius) between the Tigris and the Nile in the middle 1st millenium
Le dromadaire ou chameau à une bosse (Camelus dromedarius) n’est pas une espèce autochtone en Égypte, ni même au Proche-Orient ou dans la péninsule Arabique. L’animal, surnommé « vaisseau des déserts », est pourtant particulièrement bien adapté aux environnements arides et semi-arides de ces régions. Il a des utilisations multiples (transport de charge, transport de personnes, labour, course, consommation humaine etc.), mais son élevage est délicat et requiert un savoir-faire précis. Il a donc semblé opportun de réunir pour la première fois des philologues, des archéologues et des archéozoologues, spécialistes de leur discipline, pour confronter les informations et tenter de mieux cerner l’histoire du Camelus dromedarius, de son élevage et de ses utilisations dans les déserts d’Égypte, du Proche-Orient et de la péninsule Arabique, du milieu du Ier millénaire av. J.-C. à l’époque romaine.

Art and the Environment in Britain 1700-today
Whether one thinks of environment as context, setting, climate change, green spaces or sounds, today’s epistemology invites us to rethink man’s relation to the external world to the extent that the “inside” and “outside” coalesce, nature and culture merge, man and animal are reconfigured. How have British artists responded to these shifting perceptions of the world around them, of this great swirling circle of life and non life in which they found – or imagined – themselves diversely positioned, for a long time at the centre, then in a more undefined place – at the margin even? How has art itself positioned itself in this newly defined environment?

Irrationality in the Middle East and Islām
Atelier thématique – IIe congrès du GIS « Moyen-Orient et Mondes musulmans »
If rationality denotes what complies with the mind, irrationality, by contrast, deals with all that, at first sight, can't be explained and controlled by the ʿaql. In other words, irrationality is a negatively defined notion marked by lack or loss (ʿadam-, ġayr-ou lā-ʿaql), distance (ibʿād)or deviation (inḥirāf) from the intellect, or even it is the result of reduced rationality (qillat al-ʿaql). An irrational behaviour is considered rather strange, abnormal, and sometimes contrary to sound norms and moral principals. Consequently, this is the case of liminal states or of more or less voluntary marginal conducts: the insane and the mental ill, the drunk or the intoxicated, the silly, the foolish, the madly in love with beloved or with God, etc.

Bringing the nation back in. Plural national identifications in the contemporary Arabian Peninsula
Arabian Humanities No. 9's thematic issue deals with the transformation of national identifications in a region characterized by many transnational mobilities and circulations, and at a time — from the Gulf war till today — when these dynamics have intensified and are now blurring or exacerbating feelings of belonging.

Illustrated travel accounts in cold countries (16th to 19th century)
From the invention of printing to the invention of photography
Ce colloque international, qui aura lieu en l'Abbaye des Prémontrés de Pont-à-Mousson (Lorraine) du 14 au 17 juin 2017, se propose d'envisager la notion de « pays froid » dans les récits de voyage illustrés entre l’invention de l’imprimerie et celle de la photographie. Il s'agira de définir et d'établir un vaste corpus de sources dans une perspective de recherche interdisciplinaire (littérature, histoire, géographie, histoire de l'art, anthropologie...).

"Temporalités" Journal no. 25 (2017/1)
Be it from a regulatory perspective or through a specific schedule of events, sports are related to different kinds of temporalities. From there, one can classify competitive sport along three different types of relationship to time. But may there be temporalities specific to sport or to different practices of sports, and if yes, how can these be characterized? Beyond the « temporalities of sports », all the links between « temporalities and sports » are indeed to be questioned, including historical time (Elias), biographical time (the learning, the mastering of differents sports, careers in sports), institutional time (implying homogenisation through world-scale timetables), media time (and its economic calculations), etc.

The seminar: a new subject for the history of political ideas
14th conference of the Association française de science politique (AFSP) 2017 - Theme session no.74
En France, l’histoire des idées a longtemps été une branche de la science politique guère soucieuse de s’interroger sur ses méthodes. En s’inspirant des innovations proposées à l’étranger, elle a récemment consenti un effort de réflexion salutaire sur ses approches et ses objets. Un consensus s’est ainsi rapidement formé autour d’un nouveau regard n’envisageant plus les idées politiques comme flottant dans l’éther de l’abstraction, mais imposant au contraire de les réinscrire dans leur contexte d’énonciation. Si cette perspective semble dorénavant largement partagée, sa mise en œuvre apparaît cependant souvent malaisée et peu probante. Il existe pourtant un espace curieusement négligé qui permet d’associer de manière féconde les analyses interne et externe : il s’agit du séminaire, un lieu où texte et contexte sont plus qu’ailleurs imbriqués. En se concentrant sur cette pratique intellectuelle totalement ignorée dans la littérature, cette section thématique aimerait ainsi, au travers d’une démarche inductive excluant l’élaboration a priori de principes méthodologiques, contribuer à sa manière au renouvellement contemporain de l’histoire des idées politiques.

The peace of Fexhe (1316) and revolts in Liège and western Europe
Des chercheurs liégeois, belges, français, allemand et canadien permettront d’affiner nos connaissances de ce texte majeur de notre histoire. La paix de Fexhe apparaîtra aussi comme un élément d’un mouvement plus vaste, celui des contestations politiques et sociales et du mouvement représentatif au début du XIVe siècle. On comprendra donc mieux le but de ces conflagrations et des textes qui en furent le produit. Seront également interrogés les réseaux structurant les différents partis en présence, la formation intellectuelle des élites laïques comme ecclésiastiques, le rapport au pouvoir et au seigneur, voire au souverain. Les prolongements de cet événement majeur sur le plan de la mémoire et de l’histoire du droit jusqu’à notre époque seront également évoqués.

Digitization of Heritage Librarian Funds: Our Necessity and Obligation
Digitalizacija baštinskih knjižničarskih fondova: naša nužnost i obveza
A collaboration with the Institute for the Culture of Vojvodina Croats and the Saint Michael’s Franciscan Monastery in Subotica during the months of July and August of 2015 has resulted in a practicum for the senior students of the University Interdisciplinary Graduate Study Program in Librarianship. The students have opened a gateway to one of the richest heritage librarian funds, and the four weeks of their life with the books and socialization in a multicultural and multiethnic city, which is twinned with their hometown of Osijek, have produced valuable experiences, as well as a successfully initiated and professional processing of library materials. Established are the possibilities for an acquaintance with the valuable (monumental) library collections and the acquisition of a hands-on librarian habituation subsequent to a theoretical universitarian instruction, whereby a pathway has been paved for the next generations to become a part of this unique cultural initiative. By virtue of the prospective assets allocated by this international project, it could be possible to devise a follow-up to this endeavor. Thus, in addition to an academic knowledge, the students would repeatedly have an opportunity to be practically involved in the conservation, processing, and valorization of the heritage librarian funds.

The Price of Peace: Modernising the Ancien Régime?
Europe 1815-1848
In many historiographic traditions, the so-called "Restoration" has been depicted as an awkward interval between the Napoleonic Wars and the age of nationalism. This international conference has the ambition of breaking down old myths and stereotypes about the ‘Restoration’ in order to think more broadly and openly about the key transitions and issues. The conference will revolve around the provocative historiographical issue of whether the post-Napoleonic order represented an attempt to reconcile the heritage of the Ancien Régime with a deeply transformed world. Topics explored by panels of invited experts from across Europe will include Rethinking the "Restoration", New departures in international relations, Constitutions vs. Charters, Rebirth of composite monarchies, Before and Beyond the Nation, Historicising the Ancien Régime?, New borders and old identities.

Cultures of Conservatism in the United States and Western Europe between the 1970's and 1990's
The conference will examine the cultural history of conservative ideas and movements in Western Europe and the United States between the 1970s and the 1990s. Focusing on cultures of conservatism, the conference will rethink the general contours of conservatism. It will pay close attention to the intersection of culture, politics and economics, in order to broaden our understanding of the processes of change that have unfolded since the 1970s.
