In June 2027, La Contemporaine will host an international symposium dedicated to the study of the displacement of documentary collections across Europe, including France, between the 1930s and 1950s. At the crossroads of historical studies, book history and provenance research, this event aims to document and analyse the trajectories of these documentary collections, whether or not they were subject to spoliation. An overview of similar research in other countries and of the challenges posed by the documentary processing of collections will complete this analysis.

Associationism: history, practices and legacies (19th–21st centuries)

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 Contributions drawing on unpublished primary sources or offering innovative reinterpretations of well-known documentary corpora are particularly welcome.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 Age of Trauma and Memory: Literature’s Role in Shaping (Post)Conflict Narratives and Meanings

The international conference responds to the need to rethink how literature shapes memory and figures trauma in (post)conflict situations by focusing on active, unresolved or ongoing, antagonisms. It aims to investigate both the analysis of narrative forms that evoke trauma and their deciphering, interpretation and reception, striving to grasp not only the expressive but also the performative dimension of writing.

Books and manuscripts in exile since the 19th century

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, books and manuscripts found themselves in forced exile in Europe. Requisitioned during military occupations, such as the books looted by the Nazis during the Second World War, they were also pillaged in the context of colonisation. These cultural objects also went into exile, accompanying exiles fleeing authoritarian, totalitarian regimes or war zones. In this conference, we would like to study the historical phenomenon of books and manuscripts in exile, both from a historiographical perspective and in terms of their heritage value.

Diplomacies, Diplomats, and Sports, 19th–21st Century

Unlike the often-speculative analyses of many experts, this conference aims to examine the relationship between diplomats, diplomacies, and sport by analyzing sources (archives, interviews, etc.), with a focus on its forms, practices, and the actors who shape them. The theme of sport and international relations has remained a largely overlooked area in scholarly research within history, international relations, and organizational sociology.

(Re)Thinking the Role of Religion in Social and Humanitarian Action: Preaching in a Transnational Approach

This workshop seeks to explore the links between preaching and socio-humanitarian action in the contemporary Middle East. Contexts of social and humanitarian crises appear as privileged sites for understanding this constitutive device of faith experiences, beyond the sole framework of the sermon or religious discourse. The chosen approach is deliberately cross-cutting: it brings Islam, Judaism, and Christianity into dialogue, while situating the Middle East within a global perspective. How does preaching accompany and shape social and humanitarian action? In what forms and according to which modalities does it unfold? How does it influence the understanding and implementation of aid?

From the “Far East” to the “Indo-Pacific”

Crises, Conflicts, and Peace Processes in the Asia-Pacific (20th–21st Centuries)

Si l’histoire des relations internationales a d’emblée placé la guerre et de la paix au cœur de ses analyses, le déséquilibre demeure flagrant entre les études consacrées aux conflits armés, et celles plus discrètes relatives aux processus de paix. Une place particulière sera donc réservée aux acteurs et modalités des négociations ; à la mémoire de ces négociations, de leurs succès comme de leurs échecs, au rôle des organisations internationales ou régionales dans les sorties de guerre, aux conceptions proprement asiatiques de la paix, de la sécurité et du pacifisme, dont la dimension asiatique n’est guère abordée en dehors du Japon.

Pia Pera: An Archipelago of Writings

Ten years after the death of the writer Pia Pera (1956–2016), the aim of this full-day workshop is to explore her entire body of work in depth for the first time. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, we aim to restore the diversity of her writing and highlight its place in the Italian literary landscape. Her work anticipated issues that we consider essential today, and she was a complex, protean and unique figure.

From phenomenological to stereoscopic listening

Günther Anders and music

Anders’s work is rooted in a phenomenological approach that explores how human beings simultaneously inhabit both the world and music. For Anders, listening to music is not merely a sensory or aesthetic activity, but an ontological transformation of existence. This conference investigates Günther Anders’s musical thought, focusing on his phenomenology of listening and critique of technical media. It aims to reassess the relevance of his musicological writings through contemporary philosophical, aesthetic, and political lenses, bridging musicology, critical theory, translation studies, and intellectual history.

Intérieurs photographiques, entre mise en scène et documentation

Photographic interiors, between staging and documentation

From family pictures to police photographs and social surveys, the photographic documentation of private interiors often finds pictures in front of the lens. This conference aims to think through this mirror effect of photographed photographs, by consid- ering together images of domestic worlds and everyday image practices anchored in the dwelling.
