  Connections and Comparisons. Troisième congrès européen d'histoire mondiale et globale

  Following the successful congresses organized by ENIUGH in Leipzig (2005) and Dresden (2008), the 2011 congress will be in London, hosted by the LSE. The overall theme will be Connections and Comparisons. Within this we can expect to see discussions of comparison, connection and entanglement between polities, societies, communities and individuals situated in, or spanning, different regions of the world. The perspectives will range from interactions between humanity and the environment, including over the very long term, through the cultural and economic histories of material and social life, to empires, large-scale crises, international organizations, and the intercontinental sources and consequences of revolutions, whether political, technological, social or ideological.

  Music and Migration

  This conference will explore the relationship between music and migration by providing new insights into the creative practices and life-stories of migrant artists across the globe. A core theme of the conference will be the motivations and experiences of migrant musicians who leave, return, stay or move beyond their localities. Through the focus on such specific groups of migrants the conference aims to throw light on their identifications in their artistic and every-day lives. Past and on-going research shows that patterns of migration are clearly linked to transnational networks. By focusing on the role of migrant musicians within such networks, this conference seeks to analyse and understand the extent to which musicians’ networks may or may not be special cases within migration studies.

  Public Disorder: Post-World War II European Art and Its Publics

  AAH 2009 : Intersections (April 2-4, 2009)

  Following the end of WWII, artists across Europe, both east and west, sought to re-imagine the identity of the public. The internationalist utopia of the historical avant-garde had not come to pass, the populism of the national socialist model had been discredited by Fascism and Nazism, and it was yet unclear what shape the burgeoning commercial public would take in either soviet block or western nations.

  Le droit et le waqf (fondations pieuses)

  Nationalisations et le contrôle de l'État

  Les présentations explorent le droit colonial vis-à-vis du waqf en tant qu'institution mais aussi les propriétés leur appartenant dans le monde musulman avant l'indépendence des pays colonisés. Dans l'objectif d'étudier le droit qui s'y adaptait ou qui s'adaptait par rapport au waqf, les contributions se concentrent sur des mécanismes légaux innovateurs ou des discussions qui ont eu lieu dans les pays concernés à l'égard du statu quo de waqf au moment des interventions coloniales à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle.

  18th April 1948: Italy between Continuity and Rupture

  Through a multidisciplinary approach that brings together history, politics, literature, legal studies and international relations, this conference re-examines the significance of 18 April 1948. It assesses in what ways the legacies of WWII, of the fascist regime and of Liberal Italy have influenced the foundation of the new Italian Republic and to what degree 1948 can be seen as a 'watershed in the history of Italy'.

  Begetters of Revolution? Shelburne and the Bowood Circle Reappraised

  A Symposium in memory of Derek Jarrett at Sherborne School

  William Shelburne, premier marquis de Lansdowne (1737-1805), est un personnage à part dans l’histoire politique britannique : homme d’Etat, mais aussi penseur et protecteur de penseurs et de philosophes. Ce symposium qui rassemblera des intervenants français et britanniques s’attachera à retracer sa carrière politique au gouvernement ou dans l’opposition ainsi que son attitude vis-à-vis de la Révolution française. Les points suivants seront abordés : ses relations avec la France et Genève (Etienne Dumont, en particulier), son rôle lors des négociations du Traité de Paris en 1783, ses liens avec le milieu non-conformiste en Grande-Bretagne ainsi qu’avec le philosophe Jeremy Bentham. Ce symposium s’inscrit dans une réflexion plus générale sur l’histoire comparée de la France et de la Grande-Bretagne, à travers un hommage à l’historien Derek Jarrett. La rencontre prévoit également des visites du château et des jardins de Bowood.
