  Collecting Cases: Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries Visions of Society

  During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries case studies focusing on deviant behaviour (such as crime, suicide or mental illness) and exceptional situations became an important part of both popular culture and the emerging human sciences. The goal of this workshop is to explore how these collections of cases, through their inclusions, exclusions and narrative and rhetorical strategies, comment on and convey an image of the society of their times or of the (recent) past. The long-term aim of this project is to publish an edited volume exploring these issues.

  Fabrications: Designing for Silk in the Eighteenth Century

  Joubert de la Hiberderie’s Le Dessinateur d’étoffes d’or, d’argent, et de soie (1765) was the first book to be published on textile design in Europe.  In preparation for the publication of an English translation and critical edition of the text this one day conference calls for papers that will analyse, critique, contextualise, review or otherwise engage with the Le dessinateur in the light of its themes: production, design, technology, education, botany and art.  Joubert’s manual argues for both a liberal and a technological education for the ideal designer. Such a person must, he argues, have detailed knowledge of the materials, technologies and traditions of patterned silk in order successfully to propose new designs; he or she must also have taste and an eye for beauty, which call, he says, for travel in order to see both the beauties of nature and those of art gathered in the gardens and galleries of Paris and the île de France.

  Excess, Madness, Vision

  International D.H Lawrence Conference

  Critics have  often referred, positively or negatively, to the various forms of excess to be found in Lawrence's writings. While some mention the "exuberant merits" of his style, praising the emotional intensity of his works, others blame him for being too prolix, too pompous, too repetitive, too frank about sex, and speak with disapproval of his  "hectic descriptions" and the "Gargantuan passions" of his characters. At the beginning of his Study of Thomas Hardy, Lawrence himself elaborated a theory of excess, which is both the very illustration of excess and one of his most visionary texts. It is, he claims,  the lack of vision, the foolishness or madness of his contemporaries, that led Lawrence to moralize and philosophize so passionately and so obstinately.

  The central bank balance sheet in a long-term perspective

  How to construct it, how to read it, what to learn from it

  The purpose of the workshop is to gather scholars who have worked with historic central bank balance sheets to put these current debates into a longer-term perspective. We particularly welcome contributions that highlight the challenges posed by analyzing balance sheets both in a cross section and over time, notably by potentially different meanings of balance sheet categories and changes in the underlying operations.

  New Perspectives on Censorship in Early Modern England

  Literature, Politics and Religion

  Placed under the aegis of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), this international conference will reassess the notion and the hermeneutics of censorship in early modern England. How was censorship organized? Did it prevent or promote creativity? Why and when did writers decide to enter "the safe territory of the oblique" (Annabel Patterson)? Participants are invited to provide a variety of interpretative answers and to develop a new understanding of how censorship refashioned the social, political and artistic life of Shakespeare's contemporaries.

  Criminal Law and Emotions in European Legal Cultures

  From the 16th Century to the Present

  This two-day conference seeks to historicize the relationship between law and emotions, focusing on the period from the sixteenth century to the present. It aims to ask how legal definitions, categorizations and judgments were influenced by, and themselves influenced, moral and social codes; religious and ideological norms; scientific and medical expertise; and perceptions of the body, gender, age, social status. By examining the period between the sixteenth century and the present day, this conference also seeks to challenge and problematize the demarcation between the early modern and the modern period, looking at patterns and continuities, as well as points of fissure and change, in the relationship between law and emotions.

  Captives, recruited, migrants: Empires and labor mobilization

  From XVIIth century to present days

  This workshop starts from the hypothesis that warfare and labor are strongly connected in Empire building and their evolution, to begin with war captives in early modern Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas and to continue with the various forms of recruitment in land and maritime empires in all those areas. Captives as well as local peasants were soldiers, seamen, and colonists at the same time. Forms of forced recruitment were still important in the XIX^th century (the press system in Britain and its variations in the Empire, recruitments in Russia) and continued in the XX^th century, in Europe during the wars, outside of Europe during and after colonization and decolonization up through nowadays children soldiers.

  Building techniques in writings on architecture between Italy, France and the Low Countries

  Les techniques constructives dans les écrits d’architecture entre Italie, France et anciens Pays-Bas

  La littérature sur les traités d’architecture à la renaissance est vaste et permet une lecture très approfondie de certains aspects épistémologiques, culturels et politiques de ce genre littéraire : la nouveauté d’une approche théorique par rapport aux écrits d’architecture médiévaux, la réception de Vitruve, la formation de leurs auteurs, leur public, leur influence dans la définition d’une image architecturale publique des princes. L’intérêt pour la culture technique est aussi croissant et depuis une dizaine d’années les études sur l’histoire de la construction se multiplient.

  Mercaderes, juristas y otros "grupos intermedios" en el sur de Europa y en el espacio atlántico, siglos XVI-XVIII

  Mercaderes, arrendatarios, juristas, escribanos de grandes instituciones, secretarios, labradores ricos, élites locales, maestros gremiales enriquecidos, etc. son individuos con un estatus social ambiguo. Uno de los objetivos de este coloquio es reflexionar sobre esas personas que no nacieron nobles, en sentido estricto, pero que tampoco eran exactamente plebeyos o que se encontraban en la frontera entre uno y otro grupo. En el ámbito de un proyecto desarrollado en Portugal, centrado en los familiares del Santo Oficio, se va a realizar un seminario en la Escuela Española de Historia y Arqueología en Roma (EEHAR-CSIC) durante los días 16 y 17 se septiembre de 2015. Se seleccionarán un total de 8 comunicaciones a las que se unirán 4 ponencias invitadas, con el objetivo de reflexionar, en común, sobre las características de los “grupos intermedios” en la Edad Moderna, así como sobre las cuestiones metodológicas de su estudio.

  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.

  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.

  Knowledge Transfer and Cultural Exchanges

  Censorship in the dynamics of cultural exchanges in early modern times

  This panel is about a technology in the early modern ideological and textual control. It debates upon the censorship corrective procedures. In the framework of reception studies and communication theories, censorship as a whole is both a medium and a source of noise and perturbation of the message. It is considered as an obstacle and a positive element to its development. The phenomena about negotiation between intellectual and material producers of knowledge (works of Raz-Krakotzkin, Jostock) lead to reflect on the interactions between the actors of politics of control. These often vary due to local, chronological, political and religious circumstances. But censorship studies tend to localize the fields of investigation.

  Shaping the Brain

  In the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period

  The brain has, throughout history, been considered an important achievement in the creation of man, although often secondary to the soul and the heart. Our knowledge about how the brain has been conceived in the past is, however, very fractional, especially for the late Medieval and early modern periods. This conference looks to re-situate the question of knowing the brain anew in a dialogue between medicine (anatomy, physiology and pathology) and natural philosophy (inter alia physics, biology and psychology).

  The Many Faces of Slavery: non-traditional slave experiences in the Atlantic World

  By the 18^th century, racial slavery had matured into a fully-fledged, firmly established, profitable form of labour in the Atlantic World. In slave societies, the development of the plantation unit led both to the geographical concentration of the slave population and to a growing homogenization of the activities bondsmen performed. However, throughout the Atlantic World, the existence of phenomena such as urban slavery, slave self-hiring, quasi-free or nominal slaves, domestic slave concubines, slave vendors, slave sailors, slave preachers, slave overseers, and many other types of “societies with slaves,” broadens our traditional conception of slavery by complicating the slave experience. This conference does not aim to challenge the significance of the plantation system, but, by using it as a paradigm, seeks to assess the extent and nature of non-traditional forms of slavery in the context of the historical evolution of labour in the Atlantic World.
