  Ph.D. Scholarships on "Trajectories of Change. The State of the State: Organizing Power, Authority and Legitimacy"

  Both the on-going fragmentation in Syria and the progressing territorial disintegration of Ukraine demonstrate currently the radical character of changes in the European neighbourhood. Numerous states are dramatically challenged in their function as administrative, political and territorial entities. They are subject to violent transformations and their viability is being increasingly questioned. Which role do states play in transformation periods and in revolutionary situations? Are they still the key analytical category for analyzing the political change?

  Grupos Intermédios no Sul da Europa, séculos XVI-XVIII

  Negociantes, rendeiros, juristas, escrivães de grandes instituições, secretários, grandes lavradores de terras próprias, elites locais, mestres com dinheiro de diversas corporações de ofícios são pessoas com um estatuto social ambíguo. Olhar para quem não nasceu propriamente nobre, mas também não é exactamente plebeu, ou se situa nesta fronteira entre um sector e outro, é uma das funções deste colóquio. No âmbito de um projecto desenvolvido em Portugal em torno destes grupos, e que tem privilegiado as familiaturas do Santo Ofício, pretende-se selecionar 8 papers para um seminário de 2 dias. A estes juntar-se-ão 4 oradores convidados para uma reflexão conjunta sobre as dinâmicas e perfis destes grupos, bem como sobre as metodologias para os estudar no recorte cronológico indicado.

  Socially Sustainable Suburbia

  This issue aims to attract further attention to the challenging task of social sustainability in suburban areas. Rethinking suburbia entails both an analysis of possible improvement measures oriented towards the existing stock of buildings and the creation of new models of settlements in suburban locations. Such initiatives usually assume that, by means of a high quality urban design and planning, it is possible to assure the existence of both place-making and liveability in a specific context. However, it is the social response of residents that is the most significant proof of the success of a renewal initiative. This thematic issue calls for a critical reflection on both brand-new and pre-existing developments. Is it possible to promote liveability in a suburban environment?

  Humanidades digitais em Portugal: construir pontes e quebrar barreiras na era digital

  Debater o papel das Humanidades na academia e na sociedade é uma tendência de longa data. A confluência deste debate com o das transformações trazidas pela tecnologia digital também não é recente: não se pode falar de “novas tecnologias” para as Humanidades quando muitos investigadores recorrem ao digital há pelo menos quatro décadas, em disciplinas tão diversas como a Linguística, a História ou os Estudos Literários. O Congresso de Humanidades Digitais em Portugal pretende precisamente estimular essas intersecções, abrindo um fórum de partilha e discussão de resultados de investigação ou de projectos ainda em curso neste campo de conhecimento.

  The Vico Road

  Giovanni Battista Vico (1668–1744) spent most of his professional life as Professor of Rhetoric at the University of Naples. He was trained in jurisprudence, but read widely in Classics, philology, and philosophy, all of which informed his highly original views on history, historiography, and culture. His thought is most fully expressed in his mature work, the Scienza Nuova or The New Science. In his own time, Vico was relatively not so known, but from the nineteenth century onwards his views found a wider audience and today his influence is widespread in the humanities and social sciences. While borrowing our title “The Vico Road” to James Joyce, the conference at the Paris Institute of Advanced Study will examine the current state of the study of the works of Giambattista Vico. We will try to encourage discussion of ideas that can be considered Vichian in nature and that have some affinity with modern and contemporary thought.

  Medieval Manuscripts in Motion 2015

  This International Conference aims to follow up the initiative "Medieval Europe in Motion: the circulation of artists, images, patterns and ideas, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic coast", held in Lisbon in 2013 and organized by the Institute for Medieval Studies of the Nova University Lisbon.With the aim of creating academic, scientific and organizational synergies, this second edition will be organized in collaboration with two other international institutions, the University of Cantabria and the University of León. The main scientific of the event, as it was the previous conference, is to analyse the phenomenon of circulation, motion and mobility of people, forms and ideas during the Middle Ages. This time, however, the kind of works under consideration will be illuminated manuscripts. This three-day Conference aims thus to conduct a critical and constructive revision of research on Iberian Book Illumination in the Middle Ages, proposing new questions to be discussed.

  The Notion of Intelligence in Ancient Greece (nous-noein), from Homer to Platonism

  Vol. 16 Methodos (2016)

  The aim of this issue of Methodos is to gather contributions of international scholars on the notion of nous-noein in order to reconstruct the history of the terms related to intelligence and its activities. The issue will mainly try to outline the evolution of such terms, from their original perceptual meaning to their conceptual and theoretical scope. Contributions should thus provide materials and analysis to identify the stages and ruptures in the evolution of their use. Additionally, all attempts to trace the technical and cultural transformations which have allowed the passage from the practical understanding of the nous-noein to its more abstract uses are welcome. Papers should by no means be limited to genetic or historical reconstructions; we also welcome any paper bringing some new elements of reflection on the notion of intelligence in the chosen era.

  Foreign Rule in Western Europe

  Towards a Comparative History of Military Occupations, 1940-1949

  Military occupations were a crucial part of the collective experience of Western European societies during the mid-20th century. Occupations conducted by Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and the Western Allies varied in terms of their goals, methods, and most significantly in their use of violence. In many respects, however, these ideologically different regimes of occupation also shared a range of common features. In contrast to the ruthless occupation policies in the East, these regimes sought to find a viable mode of interaction with both local social intermediaries and the broader population, and thus generally attempted to stabilize their rule by pacifying occupied societies. Many of the quotidian ruling techniques and practices deployed for this purpose produced a set of related socio-political legacies across Western European societies which found their distinctive expression during the subsequent decades.

  Le social avant la sociologie. Comment relire la pensée sociale du XIXe siècle

  Numéro thématique de L'Année sociologique sous la direction de François Vatin. Volume 67, numéro 2, 2017

  On situe communément l’avènement de la sociologie dans les dernières années du XIX^e siècle. Le cas français est particulièrement significatif, avec la publication en 1895 des Règles de la méthode sociologique d’Émile Durkheim. À tort ou à raison, le geste fondateur durkheimien, plus ou moins transposé dans les autres traditions intellectuelles nationales, a conduit à rejeter dans les ténèbres d’une « préhistoire » de la sociologie, la pensée sociale qui l’avait précédée sous des noms divers : science sociale, physiologie sociale, philosophie sociale, physique sociale, etc. L’objet de cet appel à contributions n’est pas de réhabiliter des traditions oubliées, de nier la rupture qui s’est opérée à la fin du XIX^e siècle ou de minorer l’importance de l’enquête dans l’investigation sociologique. Il est de réfléchir à la pertinence que peut avoir, pour le sociologue contemporain, la lecture des œuvres qui précèdent le moment conventionnellement admis de la naissance de la sociologie.

  The Wisdom of the Ancients. Jerusalem rediscovers Athens

  The German-Jewish Revaluation of Ancient Philosophy

  Between 1920 and 1930, a group of young, brilliant Jewish researchers studied in Germany under the direction of Cassirer, Husserl and Heidegger. Leo Strauss, Karl Löwith, Hans Jonas, Hannah Arendt, Jacob Klein, Eric Weil, Günther Anders, and others were forced by the advent of Nazism to escape from Germany and to wander around the world. All these thinkers strove to question the historicist assumption, according to which Modernity is to be seen as progress in respect to the Ancient thought. In their studies, they found new ways to listen to the voice of the Ancients, by revaluating them in the context of the crisis of modern thought. Starting from Athens and Jerusalem, the symbolic roots of western culture, these philosophers problematized and revitalized the quarrel between Ancients and Moderns over again.

  Brevity is the soul of wit

  Angles, French Perspectives on the Anglophone World

  For its inaugural issue, Angles: French Perspectives on the Anglophone World welcomes original proposals inspired by the celebrated aphorism: ‘Brevity is the soul of wit’. Often used to describe a literary and social form (humor or sarcasm) or to illustrate commonplaces, the dictum encapsulates beliefs about the relationship between ‘brevity’ and ‘wit’ which have numerous implications in different disciplines and forms of expression. The aphorism not only suggests that brevity is a gateway to revelatory truths, it also implies that true ‘wit’ exists only in shortened form, paradoxically positing depth of meaning (‘soul’) in brevity of form, and also hinting that humor loses its essence when explicated. Additional contradictions emerge when one recalls the context in which the line appears in Hamlet, when Polonius tires the audience by giving some words of wisdom to his departing son.

  The making of cultural policies

  Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization

  This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.

  Travel in France and Ireland: Tourism, Sport and Culture

  11th AFIS Conference, University of La Rochelle

  Travel is one of Man’s main driving forces. The sea is an important feature of the geography of both Ireland and France, so it is perhaps unsurprising that waves of migration have been such an important aspect of the history of both countries. In ancient times and still today, we travel through necessity (wars, persecutions, economic, political and climatic reasons), by vocation (religious and humanitarian) and for pleasure (tourism, culture and sport).

  Performing Local and Regional Level Administration and Politics

  Ceremonies, Rituals and Routines (16th-18th c.)

  In recent years, ceremonies, rituals and routines have come to form a dynamic field of historical research. This one-day workshop looks at these phenomena in relation to the proceedings of local and regional administrations, law courts, political bodies, and corporations, rather than the court or high administration. The aim of the workshop is to discuss work in progress and to exchange ideas and views about the current state-of-the-art and methodological issues related to research on early modern ceremonies, rituals and routines in local intermediary organizations and in local political settings.

Il s’agira d’identifier les facteurs politiques, sociaux, économiques et culturels propices à l’essor de la sociabilité britannique et d’interroger le caractère novateur des formes, des pratiques et des vecteurs de cette sociabilité.
