  Thinking rights in Latin America in the 20th century

  This conference purports to think about the right-wing in twentieth-century Latin America. We shall seek to discover whether the current Latin American right-wing movements are merely the prolongation of XIXth century conservatism, or if a series of events might explain the emergence of new actors in the XXth century. This will enable us to enquire into which geographical scale - national or continental - is relevant when examining this concept. We expect papers from scholars in various social sciences, based on monographic and comparative historical examples. Our purpose is to historicize the concept and the object.

  Conservationists and counter-revolution in the Euro-American space (19th-21st centuries)

  The circulation of people

  Las transferencias, circulares e influencias, entre Europa y América Latina, en ambos sentidos, han sido abordadas habitualmente por la historiografía política con una marcada focalización hacia los fenómenos revolucionarios, progresistas o de izquierdas. Por contra, no conocemos suficientemente lo que ocurrió en el terreno de los conservadores o los contrarrevolucionarios - para el siglo XX podríamos utilizar el término derechas -. Este proyecto se propone explorar este rico, aunque poco visitado y transitado, campo de trabajo a partir de una auténtica interdisciplinareidad, que permita el intercambio entre historiadores y antropólogos, sociólogos, especialistas de la ciencia política, filólogos y economistas, y, asimismo, de un estudio de los vaivenes entre los dos continentes, sin sobrevalorar la línea Europa-América.

  Unusual actors

  Forms and effects of the informal action in the Caribbean, between legality and illegality (XVII-XXI century)

  What is the role of informal institutions in the evolution of the economic, political and social aspects of Caribbean basin? Diacronie will analyze the economic and social development of the area, focusing on the role played by informal actors, namely the ones moving between legality and illegality, that were able (or are able) to give the individual (no matter if a customer, consumer or merchant) what the laws prohibit. The objective is to examine both contemporary phenomena and phenomena which, although related to the early modern age, have generated long-term consequences in the history of the regions related to it.
