The profiles and careers of women in the dynamics of the Alps (16th century-early 19th century)
Comment écrire une histoire des régions alpines qui intègrerait de façon systématique des figures féminines et une analyse des relations de genre ? De quelle manière décrire les parcours de vie et les stratégies individuelles des hommes et des femmes entre espace public et espace privé ? Ce colloque axé sur l’époque moderne et le XIXe siècle veut mettre en lumière l’agentivité ainsi que les rôles multiples des femmes, saisir les dynamiques de genre dans leur complexité au sein de la réalité territoriale particulière que représente le contexte alpin.

This Concepta workshop is to explore concepts related to dedication. It is not only a matter of distinguishing the terms which refer to the idea of dedication, but of tracking their respective evolutions, both in terms of content and of semantic exchanges or mutations. The aim of the workshop is to clarify the situation, and above all, to define the special place occupied by the concept of solidarity among all the concepts referring to help to others. This workshop should not only offer a more solid conceptual basis for work in this field, but also shed a new light on relevant practices and ambitions surrounding values often considered as universal and absolute – especially nowadays.

The frontiers of work: movements, confusion and recompositions
The sociology of work international study days (JIST)
Pour cette XVIIe édition, les journées internationales de sociologie du travail (JIST 2020) proposent d’explorer la thématique des « frontières », thème retenu pour ses qualités polysémiques, puisqu’il permet de réfléchir aux frontières dans le sens le plus matériel et institutionnalisé du terme, tout en travaillant sur ses déclinaisons plus informelles ou symboliques.

Mediating conflicts between groups with different worldviews
Approaches and methods
In recent decades, more and more violent conflicts have a religious or cultural dimension and take place between groups adhering to different religious or secular visions of the state and society. When groups with different worldviews are required to share the same (social, political, virtual, economic, or military) space, this can lead to tensions and give rise to violence—ranging from offensive language to physical attacks and open warfare.

The role of art in and towards sustainable changes
While the sociology of arts and culture has long dealt with classical sociological questions of artistic production, distribution and reception, the concern for ecological issues and sustainability has only recently been taken up. On the one hand, the artistic field is an economy and an industry like any other, where the use of natural and human resources leads to questions of inequality, access and power relations. On the other hand, it represents a particular case, as intertwined with the issues of sustainability are those of artistic meaning, reception and cultural practices, and social factors different than in other fields. What is the environmental and social impact of art? Can art be sustainable, both ecologically and socially through time, and how? What can we make of the sustainability of art that is made to last long – sculpture, painting, print, recorded production – as well as of the required preservations techniques and places? And, on the other hand, what is the place of ephemeral art when considering sustainability (in all its aspects): street art, graffiti, art installations, live music and theatre? How can art support transformations towards more sustainable societies? A change in individual and collective practices is needed to achieve the SDGs. What role can or do art and artists play in these transformations? Can artists contribute to shaping alternative paths?

Jean Piaget archives: research and teaching applications
La fondation Archives Jean Piaget organise, dans le cadre de ses missions scientifiques, un séminaire interdisciplinaire où des spécialistes sont invités à aborder, sous l’angle de leur discipline respective, une question relevant des thématiques qui furent celle de l’œuvre de Piaget. La règle du jeu veut que chaque orateur mette en perspective l’approche contemporaine de sa discipline ou spécialité avec celle développée par Piaget afin d’en souligner les points communs et les divergences. L’éventail des disciplines va de la psychologie à la neuropsychologie et la psychiatrie en passant par les sciences de l’éducation, les neurosciences, la philosophie ou encore la théologie.

Se soustraire à l’empire des grands. Childhood, youth and agency (1500-1830)
In keeping with growing trends in research on historical actors over recent decades, agency has become central to the study of individuals deprived of visibility. However, in the same way that women were deprived of such historical visibility, children (despite representing a significant segment of the population) remain marginalised. Examining childhood experience and agency modalities between the sixteenth and first third of the nineteenth century, this interdisciplinary conference will raise the child's historical visibility; while contributing to the ongoing renewal of history.

Internationalism(s) and education during the Cold War
Actors, rivalries and circulations
Not much research has been focused on educational internationalism, as it developed during the Cold War. Yet, this period provides an exceptional framework for understanding the evolution and metamorphosis of the processes of internationalization of knowledge and educational practices, whether in the school sphere or in the extra-curricular environment. Driven by a multitude of national, international, and imperial actors, these are articulated through the ideological confrontation between the blocs of the East and the West, but also through the challenges posed by European integration, decolonization, the emergence of "third worldism" and the attempts to regulate international relations (maintenance of peace and security, etc.). Therefore, the aim of this conference is to lay the foundations for a global history of educational internationalism, tracing its forms, its trajectories (North-South, East-West, South-South), as well as its impact on the political framework and the balance of power determined by the “global Cold War”.

Esemplari umani. I personaggi nell'opera di Primo Levi
Il convegno "Esemplari umani" vuole sollecitare una riflessione critica sui personaggi che popolano l’opera di Primo Levi, sulla loro costruzione, sulla loro configurazione narrativa e linguistica, sul loro statuto ontologico all’interno del mondo possibile dell’universo letterario, sulla relazione e sull’eventuale scarto tra dimensione finzionale e vicenda storica; e ancora, sulla ricorrenza di alcuni personaggi chiave in opere e generi differenti, sui prestiti da altri autori e da altri personaggi, sul dialogo che intrattengono con il lettore. Ciascun intervento potrà proporre l’analisi e la lettura critica di un personaggio, antropomorfo o zoomorfo, senza distinzione di genere (prosa, poesia, narrativa, saggistica, memorialistica, fantascienza). L'indagine potrà abbracciare uno o più testi dell’opera di Levi, e potrà avere carattere sia sincronico che diacronico. Si richiede però di concentrarsi su un solo personaggio; è comunque incoraggiato l’esame delle relazioni con altri personaggi, principali o secondari, eventuali rapporti duali e appartenenze a gruppi.
L’invito a contribuire è aperto a dottorandi, ricercatori post-doc e studiosi. Ciascun intervento dovrà avere una durata di 20 minuti. Un abstract in italiano di massimo 200 parole, accompagnato da un curriculum vitae, dovrà essere inviato entro il 15 marzo 2020 a esemplariumani@gmail.com. Le spese di viaggio e di soggiorno sono a carico dell’Università di Berna.

The evolution of the editorial policies and techniques in missionary activity (19th-21st centuries)
Les organisations missionnaires chrétiennes ont régulièrement développé des politiques éditoriales pour chercher des soutiens, promouvoir leur action et en assurer la pérennité. Elles ont très tôt développé toute une littérature illustrée de propagande bientôt complétée par une production savante. Récemment, elles sont également entrées dans la révolution audio-visuelle et aujourd’hui dans la révolution numérique. Ce colloque propose d’ouvrir plusieurs pistes de réflexion permettant de rechercher des corrélations entre ces politiques et les cultures avec lesquelles la mission est entrée en contact, les langues qu’elle a empruntées successivement ou simultanément, et les techniques de communications dont la mission s’est servie ou se sert encore.

Death and grief in the school environment
Au cours de leur carrière, les enseignants et les professionnels intervenant en milieu scolaire auprès d’enfants et d’adolescents peuvent être confrontés à des situations douloureuses en lien avec la mort. Ce colloque scientifique souhaite contribuer à la réflexion sur la place de la mort et du deuil à l’école, au rôle de l’institution scolaire et des professionnels de l’enseignement dans la gestion d’un évènement qui se révèle toujours particulier et contextuel, et aux divers partenaires qu’elle sollicite pour faire face à ces situations parfois difficiles. Il aimerait questionner les conceptions des rôles que les différents professionnels pensent endosser dans ce genre de situations, mais aussi investiguer les pratiques adoptées, les partenariats mis en place pour faire face et résoudre les situations, tout en mesurant l’écart entre les procédures, directives ou marches à suivre que l’institution scolaire propose et les ressources que les professionnels mobilisent pour s’adapter et s’acquitter au mieux de leur tâche.

18th Association Charles Gide international conference
L’idée de coopération a été explorée dès avant le XIXe siècle pour penser, entre autres, le fonctionnement économique et politique des sociétés. Elle s’est cristallisée dans les années 1820 dans le sillage de Robert Owen. Au cours de ces deux cents dernières années de nombreux auteurs – par exemple autour de l’avocat du « coopératisme » Charles Gide et de l’École de Nîmes – l’ont placée au cœur de leurs recherches. Elle a donné lieu à un nombre remarquable de mises en œuvre qui méritent toutes une attention soutenue. Elle soulève de nombreuses question au croisement des champs disciplinaires. En voici quelques-unes (la liste n'est bien entendu pas limitative) : jusqu’à quel point l’histoire de la pensée éclaire-t-elle sur les raisons pour lesquelles individus et groupes coopèrent ?
