History of non-governmental organisations and politics in contemporary Britain

(Colloque sur l'histoire des Organisations Non-Gouvernementales en Grande-Bretagne après 1945)

Since 1945, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and new social movements have proliferated in Britain. Historians are only just becoming aware of their key role in redefining notions of political engagement, and their importance for understanding social and political history. NGOs have driven new political agendas, transformed and revived associational life, and re-politicised generations seemingly disillusioned with the politics of the ballot box. mitted by 23 December 2006.

Les lois de la Fable/Fable Laws

Martyr(e) et échange scriptural/ Martyr(dom) and Scriptural Exchange

Colloque international et interdisciplinaire organisé à Québec par la Chaire de recherche du Canada en Littératures Africaines et en Francophonie, Le CELAT de l'Université Laval.Deadline for paper submission/ date limite pour les propositions de communication: 30 November 2006Comprises à partir des travaux de Michel de Certeau, les " lois de la fable " renvoient moins aux règles d’un genre littéraire qu’aux dispositifs d’une formation discursive à travers laquelle l’Occident a fondé son empire scriptural à l’aube des temps modernes. La fable désigne en même temps qu’une parole sans sujet nommable (fari), le procès d’au(c)torisation de l’historiographie occidentale sur la parole de l’autre (qu’il soit femme, enfant [infans], fou, sauvage ou mystique), à partir de la césure, ou coupure (épistémologique) du lieu de son écriture.

Call for papers - Representation

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 ?

Circulating journals and knowledge transfer

Second meeting of the European network on “Scientific periodicals in modern Europe”

The aim of learned periodicals is to circulate information concerning the world of learning : information on recent books on a wide range of topics, news concerning research, observations, experiments, inventions and the Academy. The book market and the traces of private or institutional uses witness the circulation of learned journals all over Europe. Does the material circulation of single titles induce knowledge transfers ? This question gets regional answers, the result of the mapping of these transfers not being homogeneous at all. For a workshop like ours, it is then interesting to investigate where these transfers take place, and where not ? Are they parochial, do they extend from one region to another or do they concern the whole of Europe ? It is also interesting to study the forms they take : reprints, resumptions or translations.
