Imperial experiences in family violence: crimes and criminology in 19th–20th centuries

The University of Helsinki and the Lithuanian Institute of History are pleased to announce the international conference "Imperial Experiences in Family Violence: Crimes and Criminology in 19th–20th centuries." The event will take place at the Martynas Mažvydas National Library’s which serves as a partner in hosting the conference. This gathering aims to examine the historical dimensions of family violence within imperial contexts.By exploring legal practices, social perceptions, and criminological approaches across different empires, the conference seeks to analyze how state policies, legal transformations, and cultural norms shaped responses to violence in the family. Bringing together scholars from diverse disciplines, the event fosters a comparative discussion on the intersection of law, crime, history, and family dynamics in imperial settings.

Usable Temporalities

Time and Writing in Early Modern Almanacs and Calendars

This workshop delves into the intersections of time and writing in early modern almanacs and calendars. It aims to analyze not only how these popular and ephemeral texts and chronographic media propagated particular temporal orders but also how they were used. Almanacs and calendars were not merely tools for projecting or tracking (feast) days and celestial events; they were dynamic media in which 'scientific' knowledge, practical advice, and cultural (self-)narratives converged. The event brings together interdisciplinary scholars to explore how visualizing and writing practices in these sources framed notions of temporality, and how they meditated personal and collective experiences of time.

Summer School - Epistemology and methodology

Navigating change in agro-pastoral systems

Transdisciplinary methods for studying social-ecological systems

We are organising a series of three annual summer schools to offer PhD and post-doctoral scientists working on pressing livelihood issues in different social-ecological systems contexts the opportunity to deepen their theoretical and practical knowledge and skills in transdisciplinary research that can have tangible impacts on society. The present summer school in Parakou, Benin, focuses on the study of transformations and innovations in African agro-pastoral systems in a context of multi-dimensional turbulence. The summer school aims to help PhD students and post-docs establish and build conceptual and theoretical foundations, develop methodological and analytical skills, and improve the communication of their results and ideas in the transdisciplinary study of social-ecological systems in general, and on agro-pastoral systems in particular.

Engaged Citizens

Public-Private Partnerships and Hybrid Practices of Shared Monopoly on Violence in Europe, 1870s-1920s

The conference aims to show that even at the apex of the modern State trajectory, hybrid practices not only persisted, but rather represented fully sanctioned courses of action across Europe. Observed through the prism of hybrid groups like civic militias, security agencies as well as volunteer armed corps, the well-established dichotomy between public and private appears to be less clear-cut than it is usually believed to be. In between these two poles of publicness and privateness, a vast grey area emerges.

Small Communities Facing Danger

Strategies of Solidarity and Resilience Before the Modernity

In this meeting of the HORIZON projet RESTORY, we aim to focus on small communities, their approaches to education and knowledge transmission, and their internal solidarity practices at different stages of life, including preparations for death. In addition, we seek to examine the strategies employed by small communities to confront climatic, economic, or conflict-related hardships across diverse geographical and chronological contexts. We also wish to reflect on human resilience in overcoming adversity, as well as human responses to pain, famine, death, and loss, in order to contribute to the historical characterisation of individual and collective trauma in the past.

Imagining the Future of Ports in the Long Nineteenth Century

Special Issue of The Journal of Transport History

The nineteenth century, as stated by the volumes that have now become classics ofhistoriography by Christopher A. Bayly (2003) and Jürgen Osterhammel (2009), coincideswith a «transformation of the world» in a global sense and «the birth of the modern world». The present proposal aims to collect articles that analyse the perception and response to changes in maritime transport at the harbour level, with respect to port cities considered both as individual cases and as groups of cities belonging to a regional geographic area or connected in a network, and finally as case studies in a comparative perspective.

Forgotten Journalists

Lived experiences and professional identities in the past

Liberas, UGent, the Laboratoire des pratiques et des identités journalistiques (ReSIC-ULB) and CAMille (ULB/KBR) are organizing between 5 and 7 June a three-day international colloquium on the life stories and careers of "forgotten journalists". The history of journalism has often focused on a limited number of famous individuals. Behind these big names are many journalists whose names and work have not made it into the canon. But to capture the full diversity of the journalistic field, these careers and lives need to be recovered.

Late Medieval Cardinals Between Crises

From the Western Schism to the V Lateran Council (1378-1517)

The history of the cardinalate, which stretches from the 11th century to the present day, went through one of the most volatile phases of its development between the beginning of the Western Schism (1378) and the close of the Fifth Lateran Council (1517). This congress aims to work and reflect on these cardinals, both as a group, gathered in the Sacred College, and in their individual dimensions, as lords, members of lineages, pastors, reformers, conciliarists, centres of courts, families and networks, diplomats and representatives of nations, patrons of the arts, among others. The cross-sectional interest of this congress stems from the desire to feed the historiographical renewal that has been taking place over the last two decades on the medieval cardinalate, seeking to bring together researchers who are dedicated to its study, regardless of the angle of approach they may take.
