Associationism: history, practices and legacies (19th–21st centuries)
Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal Nº 27
This dossier aims to bring together original scholarly contributions that deepen our understanding of associationism in its multiple dimensions, privileging approaches that combine methodological rigour with empirical and analytical breadth. Proposals may be based on specific case studies or comparative analyses and should critically engage with the nature of associationism and its impact on contemporary societies. Contributions drawing on unpublished primary sources or offering innovative reinterpretations of well-known documentary corpora are particularly welcome.

The Refugee-Migrant Distinction: Toward a Global History
The aim of this international conference is to more fully elucidate the relational nature of the distinction between refugees and migrants, its function in the wider field of migration, and its genealogy. While chiefly historical in focus, the conference will also foster interdisciplinary approaches and reflections.

By choosing to focus on South-North circulations, this seminar is dedicated to the deconstruction of the “British Empire” as a homogeneous category to write and think about the intellectual, artistic, and political histories of the people who circulate and inhabit this polity known as the Commonwealth of Nations in the post-Bandung era. Working from the assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South have networked and connected within this space, we seek to interrogate the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era.

La Guerre froide latino-américaine : dialogues globaux
Desde finales del siglo XX, las investigaciones sobre la Guerra Fría en Latinoamérica han adoptado un enfoque transnacional, centrado en redes que cruzan fronteras y actores no estatales. Estas investigaciones amplían el marco temporal, utilizando perspectivas más globales y basadas en fuentes de archivos latinoamericanos, con el fin de resaltar la agencia de los actores locales y alejarse del análisis bipolar tradicional. El objetivo del panel es visibilizar esta producción regional y establecer un diálogo con investigaciones de otras regiones, discutiendo metodologías, avances en el acceso a datos y la situación de los archivos en el continente.

Conference, symposium - History
Le colloque vise à analyser les relations entre les groupes professionnels et le politique dans le contexte de transition vers la démocratie en Espagne et au Portugal dans les années 1960-1970. Il se focalise sur les professions libérales et intellectuelles. Sans déterminer directement la chute des régimes autoritaires de la péninsule Ibérique, ces groupes ont contribué à remettre en cause leur légitimité et à influencer les formes et les modalités de la démocratisation.

An ecological transition under strain: country, landscape, and uses in contemporary Germany
The starting point for this conference is the observation that the ecological transition in Germany, which one might have thought would be easier or at least more harmonious than in other countries due to the importance that environmental issues have had in German culture, society, and politics from very early on, is in fact encountering numerous obstacles and is even being called into question. This is evidenced, among other things, by the setbacks which the energy transition encounters and by the success of the party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) despite—or perhaps because of—its stance in favour of climate change denial.

Crossing urban Planning cultures in time of conflict and reconciliation
Views on continental Europe, 1937-1945. Session 69 – EAUH 2026
The aim of this approach is to consider how national urban planning traditions are shaped by conflict-related constraints during periods of escalation towards war and of occupation. National historiographies have long considered this period as a parenthesis in the circulation of ideas and models. In contrast to this approach, the perspective of the session involves an in-depth investigation of urban planning theories on a European scale, as well as an analysis of personal and institutional exchanges, technical transfers and expertises before and during World War II.

Peripheral Archives in Africa and Eurasia (19th-20th century)
On 10 October 2025, we will bring together historians from Eurasia and Africa (19th and 20th centuries) to reflect on the concept of peripheral archives and how the production/preservation/use of archives located on the periphery or margins (geographical, political, global or national, family archives, village archives, non-state institutions, the Global South, etc.) informs the writing of history.

Fotografiar la ciudad española: Historia de la fotografía, prácticas y desafíos – Siglos XIX-XX
Cette journée d’étude, organisée à l’occasion de l’exposition Sur les pas des Lumière. Séville en couleurs au Collège d’Espagne, se propose d’explorer l’histoire de la photographie urbaine espagnole des XIXe et XXe siècles à travers ses techniques, ses usages, ses supports et ses enjeux esthétiques. En s’appuyant sur des exemples précis, elle tentera de mettre en lumière les conditions matérielles de production, de diffusion et de réception des images urbaines. Il s’agira également de réfléchir aux choix esthétiques et aux contraintes techniques qui ont façonné les représentations des villes espagnoles depuis le XIXe siècle, dans un contexte de perpétuelle évolution des pratiques photographiques.

Vestígios do passado nas artes e letras afro-luso-brasileiras
Ces dernières années, plusieurs œuvres littéraires, audiovisuelles et artistiques ont abordé d’une manière différente le rapport au passé. Plutôt que de le figer comme une époque révolue, elles l’inscrivent dans le présent à travers des traces, des strates qui émergent au fil des récits et des représentations. Bien que de nombreuses intrigues se construisent au présent, et à l’époque de leur production, elles sont constamment traversées par le passé, non seulement à travers des références explicites, mais aussi par le biais d’empreintes subtiles qui hantent les personnages, les lieux et les dynamiques narratives. Ce colloque international propose d’examiner la façon dont les traces du passé s’inscrivent dans les œuvres audiovisuelles, littéraires et artistiques de l’univers afro-luso-brésilien. Il s’attachera à examiner comment les traces, les présences spectrales et les ruines, en tant que strates temporelles et mémorielles, hantent les imaginaires contemporains et nourrissent une réflexion sur la persistance du passé et ses résonances dans le présent.

Invisible Actors in the Making of International Law (1750–2000)
This interdisciplinary conference invites graduate students and early career researchers to consider the genealogy of international law since 1750. It aims to identify new or unrecognised actors – including individuals, groups, and institutions as well as non-human agents – and their contributions to the practices, interpretations, and applications of international law. How did they establish or challenge norms, customs, and institutions? How were their practices, actions, and ideas shaped into law? The event aims to historicise the making of international law by bringing together junior scholars of history and law and to provide a forum for the exploration of new ideas and alternative perspectives, combining and building upon historical and social scientific approaches.

Marc Bloch in Brazil. History and Social Sciences
The conference proposes a critical reflection on the work and legacy of Marc Bloch (1886–1944), a central figure in historical studies as a social science. His path as a medievalist, co-founder of the Annales, and committed intellectual reveals an interdisciplinary and transnational approach that remains highly relevant today. The event aims to explore the reception of his ideas and their impact on the human and social sciences, bringing together history, theory, and political engagement.

Philosophy and the National Question
Taking as its starting point the idea of “philosophical nationalism” proposed by Jacques Derrida, this seminar aims to question the way in which different national and nationalist discourses have accompanied both the construction of modern philosophical historiography and the development of comparative or intercultural philosophy. The division of the world into “philosophical nations” still constitutes today the starting point of any comparative effort and leads to making the “dialogue between traditions” a discourse tending to legitimize national ideologies.

Imaginaries of Shady Connections and the Global Underworld from the Nineteenth Century to the Present
Observers of modern life have not always been optimistic about transnational connections. From the nineteenth century to the present day, the cosmopolitan ideal of a united world has been challenged by widespread anxieties about mysterious and dangerous networks. This exploratory conference critically examines the cultural and political significance of these imaginaries of dark networks from the nineteenth century to the present. Drawing on a series of historical case studies, we suggest to take three key features as a point of departure: figures such as traffickers, clandestine migrants, or spies; spaces such as ports, borderlands, or tunnels; and goods such as weapons, counterfeit money, or revolutionary pamphlets.

Questioning the Profession: Architect and Planner Cooperatives
Revue « Clara » #12
CLARA is launching a new call for papers entitled "Questioning the Profession: Architect and Planner Cooperatives" for the 12th issue of the journal. In opposition to the glorification of the singular figure of the architect, the twentieth century saw the emergence of numerous initiatives seeking to invent new, more collective and interdisciplinary forms of practice. Cooperative associations from the global North and South sought to overcome individual authorship by linking design activities with political militancy and social engagement. By studying cases of architect and planner cooperatives from different countries and cultural contexts, this issue of Clara invites contributions which critically reflect on the political, social and disciplinary issues that favored the creation of these organizations, and how they were managed.

Extreme right and democracy in Europe after the Second World War
Coexistences, contrasts, contradictions
It seems urgent to reflect on how democracies have responded to the presence of extreme right-wing movements, both in terms of political practices and rhetoric. Have democracies actively opposed the extreme right, or have they opted for strategies of containment and coexistence? Equally important is to examine the perspective of the extreme right: how has it interpreted and narrated the (supposed) coexistence with the democratic system? How has it dealt with the legacy of fascism and to what extent has it adapted to the culture of democracy?

Food, power and the African diaspora: Exploring intersections
Issue of Civilisations journal vol.74, 2025
Over the last decade the concept of decolonisation has circulated not just in academic circles but also in the political arena and activism in the global North-West. To what extent do decolonisation efforts carry the potential for food justice and in what ways are African diasporas concerned about the decolonisation of food systems and engaged in efforts to make their foods more accessible? We seek contributions that engage with the experiences of diasporic communities and their aspirations, struggles and actions to reshape African food systems. This issue seeks to explore socio-cultural, economic and political aspects of the foodways of the African diasporas. The focus is the dynamics and interplays of power shaping current African food systems and how African diasporas relate to and engage with their food traditions.

Decoding European History through Guns: Methodologies and Research Approaches
What are firearms? How did they impact on the history of European societies? What are the more promising research approaches for studying them? Firearms hold profound implications for European societies, influencing international relations, the diffusion of violence, and State sovereignty. This workshop will convene researchers examining themes such as the relationship between European States and guns, global efforts to regulate arms markets, the role of firearms in changing the societal perception of violence, and the semantic nuances defining these instruments. Through exploration of diverse research methodologies, the workshop aims to highlight the significance of firearms as both a subject of scholarly inquiry and a lens for examining critical aspects of contemporary history, shedding new light on the European past – one trigger pull at a time.
