  Multiculturalism, modernity and citizenship in Canada

  Interdisciplinary Conference in Canadian Studies

  From the 1990s on, the Canadian multicultural discourse has increasingly focused on the concept of citizenship, which has in turn meant insisting more on the notion of unity and less on that of diversity. Should this be interpreted as a step backward from multiculturalism taken as an ideology and as a policy? From a European perspective, what lessons can be learnt at a time when a growing number of countries are adopting a multicultural terminology and the European Union needs to negotiate a balance between unity and diversity? Should the emergence of a modern form of citizenship be interpreted as the advent of hybrid identities or as a step towards a certain social and cultural anomy? What are then the prospects for multiple identities within a plural nation?

  Families, constructions of foreignness and migration in 20th century Western Europe

  Conference at Leuven University, Belgium, May 15-16 2008

  This conference aims to discuss and compare national boundaries, policies and experiences with regard to family and migration in twentieth century Western Europe. Three perspectives will receive particular attention at the conference. First, national boundaries and related policies of receiving as well as sending societies with regard to family and migration and their implications for migrants or their relatives who stayed behind; Second, the relationship between the family situations (of mothers, fathers, single women or men, children, elders and so on) and the stereotyping of migrants of 'foreign'. or rather their invisibility. Third, the perspective of migrants and their relatives themselves. How did they construct family and how did they deal with family policies and family cultures in receiving societies as well as in their societies of origin? How were family situations and transnationalism related?

  Gender, race and class in the making of the modern self

  Reflections on the practice and perils of cultural history

  Depuis plusieurs années, l’histoire culturelle telle qu’elle se conçoit et se pratique dans les champs historiographiques britanniques et nord-américains a été l’objet en France d’importations, d’appropriations, mais aussi de nombreuses controverses. C’est autour des principales catégories d’analyse mises en œuvre dans le cadre de cette manière d’appréhender et d’écrire l’histoire que se cristallisent les questionnements : sur la « classe », la « race », mais aussi sur le « genre ». Cette table ronde se propose, autour de Dror Wahrman, de discuter dans le cadre d’une réflexion large de la signification et de la pratique de l’histoire culturelle, de ses apports comme de ses risques, et de la place centrale à accorder dans cette pratique aux analyses de genre.

  Sciences et savoirs dans le monde atlantique francophone (XVIe-XVIIIe siècles)

  L'objectif de cette rencontre est de confronter diverses analyses portant sur la construction et la circulation des savoirs dans l’Atlantique francophone des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. En s’attachant à souligner certaines spécificités de l’histoire des savoirs dans l'Atlantique français de l'époque moderne, cet atelier abordera des thèmes aussi variés que la cartographie, la botanique, les savoirs médicaux ou les contacts entre savoirs africains, amérindiens et européens. Au-delà d’une réflexion d’ensemble sur les enjeux d’une telle histoire pour penser l’histoire coloniale française de l’époque moderne, une table ronde clôturera cette rencontre afin de situer cette histoire par rapport à celles, plus familières, des espaces coloniaux de la Grande-Bretagne et de l’Espagne.

  Le nationalisme dans les pays anglophones

  Nationalism In the English-speaking World

  Colloque international du CRESAB (Université de Nancy 2)Le nationalisme est un domaine particulièrement sujet à controverse. Il se peut que cette absence de consensus s'explique en partie par le fait que des théoriciens ont souvent tenté d'appliquer des modèles basés sur des contextes précis d'une manière universelle. Ce colloque vise à examiner cette hypothèse en étudiant l'application de divers modèles théoriques à divers contextes nationaux du monde anglophone.

  Power

  Durham University, 13-16 July 2007

  How was power exercised, implicitly and explicitly, in the centuries of the medieval and Renaissance eras? How was it displayed and performed, theorised, ritualised, romanticised, codified, sanctified or opposed? The conference will consider questions such as these in a sequence of interdisciplinary sessions covering the full span of the periods and looking at social contexts ranging from the medieval republic of Iceland to the imperial courts of Renaissance Europe.

  Identités du Nord/Northern Identities

  Comment les identités nordiques se construisent-elles ? Quelle est la place, dans la conscience nordique, de l'ethnicité, de la latitude, des conditions de vie et de la conscience du Sud ? Comment le Sud se représente-t-il le Nord ? Telles sont les questions que l'on se propose d'aborder. On tiendra compte de tous les paramètres qui peuvent entrer dans la constitution de ces identités, qu'ils soient intellectuels, artistiques, langagiers, religieux, sexuels, culinaires, etc. On s'intéressera aussi à l'évolution de ces identités à travers l'Histoire, à leur exploitation idéologique, au statut de l'identité dans la pensée ou l'action contemporaine et à cette question épistémologique : comment a-t-on pensé Nord et nordicité jusqu'à présent ?
