  The brains that pull the triggers

  The transformation of groups of previously nonviolent individuals into repetitive killers of defenseless members of society has been a recurring phenomenon throughout history. This apparent transition of large numbers of seemingly normal, “ordinary” individuals, to perpetrators of extreme atrocities is one of the most striking variants of human behavior, but often appear incomprehensible to victims and bystanders and in retrospect even to the perpetrators themselves and to society in general. This transition is characterized by a set of symptoms and signs for which a common syndrome has been proposed, Syndrome E (Fried, Lancet, 1997). The purpose of such designation is not to medicalize this form of human behavior, but to provide a framework for future discussion and multidisciplinary discourse and for potential insights that might lead to early detection and prevention.

  A Jewish Model of Devolution? Inheritance in the Medieval and Modern Jewish Societies

  In the last two decades, the history of the Jewish family has been at the center of a number of studies that have – in the light of a more general historiographical evolution – considerably renewed the subjects and perspectives of this field of research. In this context that made the Jewish studies a well distinguished discipline, we wish to focus on an aspect that has never been studied systematically and has never been subject to a methodological and comparative synthesis: the patrimonial transmission.

  The Institutions of the Habsburg Low Countries (XVI-XVIII c.)

  IX Conference of Spanish, Belgian and Dutch historians. In honour of Professor Hugo de Schepper

  This conference intends to continue the tradition of the Hispanic-Dutch-Belgian meetings and will bring together a number of established and early-career researchers working in the field of the institutional history of the Habsburg Low Countries from the 16^th to the 18^th centuries. It aims to draw attention to a broad range of political, cultural, religious, legal, and military institutions by focusing on the enriching approaches that have shaped historical research on institutional history in the past few decades. At the same time, it hopes to bring into the limelight some exciting new (and often interdisciplinary) perspectives that characterize current research in the field.

  Key-Figures and Hidden Key-Figures in European National Movements

  A preliminary workshop

  The importance of the concepts of "heroes" and "leaders" for the development of national movements is reflected by the vast scientific attention paid to them, unwittingly pushing other players to the background. But at least as crucial for the success and failure of national movements are the less well-known and less celebrated advocates of the cause or "protagonists", engaged in the dissemination and transfer of cultural and political ideas, acting as go-between "top-down" and "bottom-up", and actively turning them into reality.

  Theoretical, empirical ans historical perspectives on wage, subsistence and basic income

  The Centre Walras-Pareto is organizing a workshop on the history of wages. The workshop will take place at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland), 29-30 September 2016. Much has been written on wages within economics. In his classical account of the history ofwage theory, Dunlop (1957) refers to three time-periods: the wage-fund theory domination,the rise of marginal productivity distribution theory, and the “contemporary setting”, startingin the 1930s and characterized by a diversity of theoretical arguments; but much has changed.

  Critical Psycholawgy: Dialogue at modern times between legal and psychological sciences

  Links between psychology and law rightly raise more and more scientific awareness. The human being, as the common object of this two fields, is studied from both an individual and a social perspective. This stream is an invitation to build an interface and exchange between clinical psychology, cross cultural psychology, justice and law through a critical perspective. This critical approach can be reached with a psychoanalytical lecture of society. This stream is an invitation to an interdisciplinary dialogue to open discussions in a world in perpetual motion. We are looking for papers on those topics: Psychocriminology, Critical Psychology, Psychoanalysis, Post-colonial and Critical historical studies.

  Cognition Verbs

  Modality, evidentiality and cognition

  We will explore cognition verbs from a cross-linguistic perspective. The data from a sample of languages will enable us to examine the interaction between language and cognition, the evolution patterns of cognition verbs and the near-synonymity of phrases such as I think, I guess or I suppose. The keynote speaker Jan Nuyts (university of Antwerp) will present historical data that questions the origin of the parenthetical uses of mental state verbs, and allows us to reinvestigate the questions of grammaticalisation and subjectification.

  Protest in French and Francophone Arts and Culture

  Society for French Studies Postgraduate Conference 2016

  Protest is an intrinsic part of human culture, which enables subjects to express their dissatisfaction with existing social structures and hegemonic hierarchies of power. Protests have occurred across time periods and contexts, and have taken numerous different forms, ranging from personal expressions of discontent to united movements for revolutionary change. Protests can be individual or collective, personal or political, spontaneous or carefully planned, but they are generally orientated towards destabilising the status quo and establishing new modes of existence. Over the ages, political, social and cultural protests have successfully toppled authoritarian regimes, exposed and confronted dominant imbalances of power, and ameliorated conditions for disenfranchised members of society.

  Fourth International Transfopress Encounter

  As specific material and cultural artefacts, foreign-language periodicals call for a multifaceted approach in order to unravel the intricate connections between text and context, forms and meanings, language and message, as well as the complex interactions between editors, printers, authors and readers. With this in mind, of particular interest for us in the Fourth International Conference of the Transfopress network if the global circulation of media culture at a time when print communication was becoming a mass phenomenon in the 19th and 20th century.

  The Left and Nationalism in Europe

  The tragic attacks in Paris on 7 January and 13 November 2015 have engendered vivid debates about national identity and national culture in France, and accelerated the promotion of patriotism by the socialist government. At the European level, whereas the death of nations has been predicted along with the triumph of globalisation, nations and nationalism make a spectacular come back in public debates, and put most European left-wing parties in an embarrassing position. In the aftermath of world war two, the Left gradually became suspicious of references to the nation, traditionally associated with rightwing ideologies. Yet in a time of identity debates and persistent collective attachment to nations, patriotism, sovereignty and nationalism are also increasingly used as political arguments.

  IV International Conference of Myth Criticism

  Myth and Emotions

  Along with rational logic there is an emotional logic, responsible for many actions that we carry out. Myth Criticism tends to tackle mythical stories from a structural, social and historical perspective. However, it often ignores the emotional component. It seems as if the affective dimension, particularly active in our contemporary society, is not considered relevant in the studies of mythology. The Conference will examine the function undertaken by emotions in the structure of mythical stories and in the processes of mythification of characters and historical events. The object of the study will focus on ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary literature and art (since 1900).

  Activisms in Africa

  International Conference

  Many African countries experience a context in which society is constantly faced against the State or private corporations. In this situation, civil society organizations become key players into continent’s political chessboard. Acting in various fields and often seeking non-traditional forms of organization, they pose new challenges to their analysis and interpretation. To meet these defiances, the Centro de Estudos Internacionais of the Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (CEI-IUL) promote between 12^th and 13^th January 2017, the International Conference Activisms in Africa, which will discuss the new profiles of social activism in Africa and the perspectives of change they bring.
