Accidents and Emergencies

Risk, Welfare and Safety in Europe and North America, c. 1750-2000

The aim of this conference is to take stock of the present by focusing on modern Europe and North America from roughly 1750 onwards. It welcomes historians from all sub-fields (social, medical, cultural, etc.), scholars from other disciplines such as sociology and cultural studies. Risk, welfare and safety have long been sites of historical inquiry. This conference takes this literature as its point of departure, and encourages both general and trans-national appraisals of the history and nature of modern "risk societies", as well as accounts which focus on particular technologies, practices and discourses. In sum, the aim of "Accidents and Emergencies" is to: rethink the history of risk, welfare and safety; encourage a more integrated approach to their empirical study and conceptualisation; open up new historical and sociological perspectives through which we might better grasp the present.

Fantômas en Europe

Les origines industrielles, sociales et esthétiques (fin XIXe siècle - années 1930)

Personnage littéraire créé en 1911 par Pierre Souvestre et Marcel Allain, Fantômas fait partie des principales figures de la culture médiatique de la Belle Époque, dont il réussit à synthétiser une part des peurs et des fantasmes. Destiné à l’obsolescence, comme l’essentiel des productions populaires de son temps, il y survit néanmoins. Jusque dans les années 1960, il incarne dans l’imaginaire collectif le Méchant superlatif, « le Maître de l’effroi », le « Génie du crime », « Le Tortionnaire » et même, pour certains, l’archétype du terroriste.
