  Transnational Biographies. Destinies at the Crossroads throughout the 20th Century

  This call for papers seeks methodological and case-study perspectives on 20^th century biographies, interpreted within a framework of cross-national/transnational connections, surpassing the nation-centered apprehension of history. The contributions should acknowledge and interpret destinies and existences as subjected to transnational spaces and structures, while considering actors as non-state (or multi-state) entities. Moreover, we seek contributions that surpass the “center-periphery” paradigm, focusing on a “horizontal” approach, while also reversing the spotlight from diplomatic and political history towards the social and cultural dimension of it. Editors welcome contributions from different fields of research: history, political science, cultural studies, philosophy, sociology, gender studies or any other related areas of interest.

  Building the alliance

  The implementation of France’s commitment in Central and Eastern Europe in the interwar period (1917-1939)

  The aim of this conference is to shed light on joint practical initiatives between France and all the allied countries of central Europe during the inter-war period to concretely build the alliance between the partners. France’s collaboration with the member states of the Little Entente (Czechoslovakia, Romania, Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes) — and of these powers amongst themselves — will be emphasized, but communications on the ties with the other Allied Powers or partners from the region (Poland, the Baltic States and Finland, Greece, Turkey), and even with the revisionist powers (Soviet Russia, Hungary, Bulgaria) are welcome.

  The Other Half of Communism: Women's Outlook

  “History of Communism in Europe” Journal, no. 8/ 2017

  This issue looks to include the most recent scholarship on women and their intricate relations with the communist parties in Europe, during the XX^th century. While including the valuable scholarship on “exceptional” personalities such as Alexandra Kollontai, Inessa Armand or Dolores Ibarruri, this issue aims to explore the voices of women that by political choice or simply historical tournaments found themselves as both objects and subjects of the communist parties. The political evolution of Europe through the century, the existence of USSR and the national (illegal) branches affiliated to the Communist International, and later of an Eastern Bloc determined completely different experiences, forms of activism and sociability. This issue of History of Communism in Europe aims to follow the relation between communism and women before and after the Second World War, on the both sides of the Iron Curtain.

  The (R)evolutionary Maze. Communist Parties in Europe

  Journal "History of Communism in Europe", no. 7 / 2016

  Communism played a very important role on the 20^th century European political and cultural stage, both as ideology and as an authoritarian/totalitarian state system. Communist parties all over Europe were called to lead the way in the fight for a revolutionary, equalitarian, utopic society, under the guidance of the III Communist International (founded in Moscow in 1919) and the Communist Party in the Soviet Union. Although the Communist Parties in Europe were established and developed on a similar pattern until the breakout of World War II, during the Cold War important dissimilarities could be observed between Western and Eastern Europe. This issue of History of Communism in Europe aims to follow the development of Communist Parties on the both sides of the Iron Curtain and their impact, considering that they were interconnected both ideologically and institutionally, but also separated by the extremely different contexts in which they had to (re)act.

  The challenges of the freedom of expression - between censure and abuse

  Le colloque propose une approche interdisciplinaire concernant la liberté d’expression sous le gouvernement démocratique, en tant que principe et action publique également. On cherche ainsi comment s’articule le concept de la liberté à travers les conflits politiques et les débats juridiques, mais aussi les arguments en faveur d’une réglementation du champ de l’expression, qui impliquent l’État, la conscience, l'altérité culturelle ou même le bon sens, pour saisir ce que recouvre la censure et ce qui pousse l'individu à l'autocensure. Les interventions visent des thèmes comme l'irrévérence et l'offense en République, le droit de ne pas être neutre, le constitutionnalisme transnational et les droits fondamentaux, l'abus de la liberté d'expression, la censure et le potentiel subversif des mots.
