Transnational Biographies. Destinies at the Crossroads throughout the 20th Century
This call for papers seeks methodological and case-study perspectives on 20th 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.

Real journeys, imaginary journeys
La thématique du voyage parcourt les sciences humaines et sociales, les lettres et les langues depuis très longtemps. Il est intéressant néanmoins de constater que les approches peuvent parfois se révéler complémentaires et/ou contradictoires, en fonction des angles privilégiés par les chercheurs. De sorte que cette thématique, qui est fondamentalement interdisciplinaire et internationale, suppose des réflexions d’ordre épistémologique, conceptuel et thématique. La mobilité, l’errance, la rencontre, l’altérité, l’ailleurs, l’exotisme, etc. sont autant de notions qui sont mobilisées dans les différents travaux sans que pour autant elles soient pensées en lien entre chaque discipline. Comment ces dernières articulent-elles ainsi leurs réflexions, notamment au sein des catégories établies du réel et de l’imaginaire ?

Big Data - truths and fictions
La puissance de calcul des ordinateurs, le progrès des algorithmes, les travaux en machine learning et en intelligence artificielle (IA) ouvrent de vastes possibilités devant les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales. Tout d’abord, la possibilité de mettre en question de telles entreprises : en quoi élargissent-elles le champ de notre compréhension ? Qu’est-ce qu’elles apportent à nos principes méthodologiques ? Quels types de vérités échappaient à notre sagacité, que les nouveaux outils d’étude nous permettent de saisir ? Et la suprême provocation - l’écriture des textes, la composition des tableaux et des mélodies – mène-t-elle à un remplacement de l’artiste par la machine, ou bien c’est l’équipe des programmeurs, artistes et critiques qui vient de produire simplement un nouveau média numérique, l’art de la « machine intelligente » ?

Transnational dimensions of dealing with the past in ‘Third Wave’ democracies
Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the Former Soviet Union in Global Perspective
This conference aims to fill the gap by looking at how post-dictatorial justice and memory experiences in Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union after the “third wave of democratization” have reciprocally affected each other. It also seeks to unpack how memorialization practices in these regions were shaped by and influenced in turn criminalization discourses in other geographical contexts (Latin America, Asia, Africa). The conference focuses on transnational activism, transfers of knowledge, and expertise at bilateral, regional or international levels, the impact of legal and mnemonic narratives outside their countries of origin, and the role of international organizations and NGO's in dealing with mass violence. The conference aims thus to trace the mutlidirectional circulation of ideas, norms and models of reckoning with authoritarian regimes both within these regions, and between them and other areas of the world.

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.

Administrative accountability in the later Middle Ages
Records, procedures, and their societal impact
The emergence of new types of financial records, the creation of institutional procedures, and the birth of a bureaucratic corps in a society in which accountability had been largely social and moral represent key developments in the history of the later Middle Ages. The colloquium will explore the multifaceted reality of administrative accountability in Western Europe, c. 1200-1450. Because the renewed interest in the subject makes methodological exchanges all the more timely, the colloquium will provide a venue for testing new approaches to the sources. Special attention will be given to underexplored archival documents, such as the castellany accounts (computi) of late-medieval Savoy, and to topics that have hitherto received less attention, such as the social impact of institutional consolidation. Comparisons with better-known texts, such as the English pipe rolls, are also encouraged.

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 XXth 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 20th 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.

New Europe College - Institute for Advanced Study
Following the European Research Council competition for Consolidator Grants (2014), New Europe College became the Host Institution of such a grant. The project title is Luxury, Fashion and Social statuS in Early Modern South-Eastern Europe and its Principal Investigator is Constanţa Vintilă-Ghiţulescu, researcher at New Europe College and at the “Nicolae Iorga” Institute of History in Bucharest. The project aims to trace the role luxury played in the modernisation process in South-Eastern Europe, taking into account the specific features of the region and how South-Eastern European peoples, and their Byzantine and Ottoman heritage are viewed through the stereotype of “Balkanism”. The project’s findings will help towards a better knowledge of changes in European society in its transition to modernity, and of similarities and differences between the various regions of Europe.

Parties, elections and social movements
Rethinking the contours of political protest in Central and Eastern Europe
Les élections et les mouvements sociaux sont les deux formes majeures de conflit politique dans les systèmes démocratiques (D. McAdam & S. Tarrow). Cependant, la nature des relations entre les mouvements sociaux et les élections est encore insuffisamment étudiée, particulièrement lorsqu’il s’agit de la région de l’Europe Centrale et Orientale et de la Turquie. Des études commencent à être développées dans une perspective comparative plus systématique sur l’Europe de l’Ouest (H. Kriesi) et les Etats-Unis (T. Skocpol). Cependant les pays de l’ECO ont été traités soit d’une manière isolée (bien que compréhensive, c’est le cas de la Turquie), soit ils ont bénéficié d’analyses circonscrites aux épisodes déjà fort théorisés (révolutions orange, Solidarnosc, etc.) mais qui ne rendent plus justice à la complexité des nouveaux mouvements sociaux et de leurs circonstances politiques.

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.

La communication organisationnelle, terrain des sciences de l’information et de la communication, qui participe de la recherche pluridisciplinaire en sciences sociales, se trouve au coeur des débats dans le contexte actuel de la globalisation des marchés, des réseaux numériques, des diverses pratiques symboliques des organisations, des enjeux de Développement Durable et de l’urgence à redéfinir des modèles de développement (pour les pays du Nord et pour les pays du Sud ; à l’échelle de l’Europe élargie pour les pays composant l’Europe de 2012 ). La dynamique conceptuelle de ce domaine a pris son essor dans les années 1980 à la frontière des disciplines telles que la sociologie, la psychologie sociale, les sciences de gestion et les sciences de l’information et de la communication. La notion d’organisations renvoie à des formes organisationnelles plurielles dont les caractéristiques économiques, sociales, juridiques et infocommunicationnelles sont très variées : firmes multinationales et nationales, PME, TPE, coopératives, associations, ONG, fondations, établissements publics de l’éducation, de la santé, de la culture, collectivités locales et territoriales, etc. Toutes ces organisations sont aujourd’hui confrontées à des reconfigurations fortes où se croisent dynamiques socio-techniques, économiques-financières, sociales, culturelles, environnementales. -

Materialities and the Immaterial in the Church during the Middle Ages
Partant du constat qu’il n’y a pas de distance infranchissable entre la matière et l’immatérialité, entre l’humain et le divin, il s’agit de savoir ce que le Moyen Âge entend par immatérialité et comment le lien se fait avec la matière. Comment aussi la matière est reçue et travaillée comme une potentialité de son contraire. Tout en évitant de confondre les deux pôles du matériel et de l’immatériel, on se gardera tout autant de les séparer, comme trop souvent on le constate quand les diverses sciences s’ignorent l’une l’autre.
