Imagining a Future (inside/outside) Britain

S’inscrivant dans la perspective du champ interdisciplinaire des études sur le futur, et plus spécifiquement des études critiques sur le futur, ce colloque propose d’étudier la façon dont le futur du Royaume-Uni et des nations qui le composent a été imaginé à travers les périodes, sur des modes fictionnels et non-fictionnels. Nous nous intéresserons à la fois aux représentations du futur du Royaume-Uni dans son ensemble (le futur de l’État, de la société et de l’Union britanniques), et aux représentations du futur des différents territoires constitutifs du Royaume-Uni soit au sein de l’Union et de l’Empire, soit au contraire hors de ceux-ci.

Galant Eroticism and Its Markets (1650-1720)

This conference aims to explore the emergence, from the second half of the seventeenth century onward in France, of a new market for eroticism, linked to the development of the galanterie, understood here as an ideal of sociability grounded in values such as refinement, playfulness, and equality between the sexes. Drawing on a wide range of media – whether texts, images, engravings, or music – participants will be invited not only to question the renewed representations that characterize this new eroticism, but also to examine its conditions of production, circulation, and reception, in France and, more broadly, on a European scale.

Croquer la ville : représentations et usages de l’espace public dans la caricature et l’illustration graphique (XIXe-XXe siècles)

Tant dans l’espace journalistique que sur les murs mêmes de la ville, la caricature politique et l’illustration graphique constituent des sources de la culture visuelle qui condensent et montrent les batailles symboliques qui se livraient dans la rue, allant même jusqu’à redéfinir les codes et les pratiques utilisés dans l’espace public. À la croisée de l’histoire politique, de l’histoire de l’art, des études culturelles et de l’analyse urbaine, ce colloque propose d’examiner les façons dont la caricature politique, la satire visuelle et l’illustration graphique ont influencé la représentation et les usages de l’espace urbain au cours du « long XIX^esiècle » espagnol.

Seminar - History

Political, cultural and intellectual South-North circulations in the post-Bandung era: towards a connected history of the Commonwealth

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.

« Professions intellectuelles » et changement politique en Espagne et au Portugal dans les années 1960 et 1970

“Scientiae”: Disciplines of Knowing in the Early Modern World

Building on Scientiae’s interdisciplinary legacy, and its study of the production and circulation of knowledge, we will underscore the interconnectedness of regions, periods, cultures, and material and intellectual traditions in the period between 1400 and 1800. Although centred around the emergence of modern natural science, Scientiae is intended for scholars working in any area of early-modern intellectual culture. The Scientiae network encompasses the long Renaissance period and seeks to integrate historiographical reflection into an approach that, since its creation, has been firmly rooted in epistemology and the history of science, as well as intellectual history, and the practice of knowledge in dialogue.

“Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya

The trilingual conference “Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya seeks to address a still relatively unexplored topic: the study of Italian communities abroad, with particular attention to the Mediterranean world in the period between national unification (1861) and the occupation of Libya (1911). At the core of this reflection lies the close, and not merely chronological, relationship between the migratory dynamics that characterized the early decades of unified Italy and the rise of colonial expansionism. The seminar therefore aims to investigate this connection through the specific lens offered by the Italian presence in North Africa and in the Ottoman Empire before the occupation of Libya.
