The Allied Occupation of Germany Revisited

New Research on the Western Zones of Occupation, 1945-1949

The Allied occupation of Western Germany after the Second World War has recently seen a revival of interest among historians. This two-day international conference will showcase new research from scholars based across the globe and provide a forum for the presentation of innovative approaches to the history of the three western zones of occupation. It also aims to stimulate dialogue between historians of the different zones of occupation and so bring together hitherto almost entirely segregated historiographies.

Decolonizing Americas

Radical Americas Symposium 2016

The theme of this year’s Radical Americas symposium is “Decolonizing Americas”, acknowledging the long arc of struggle for freedom since the period of European colonization of the Western Hemisphere in the 15t^h century. Our collaborative effort will be to consider how histories within the US, Latin America, and the Caribbean converge and depart in relation to the experience of anti-colonial and decolonizing social movements, many of which continue today. We will also consider the ways that cultural efforts, collectives, art, and intellectual projects shape radical imaginaries of freedom.

Rethinking Continuity and Change in Early Modern and Modern History

In the past decade historians have increasingly questioned the categories used to distinguish the early modern and modern phase in political history. For example, rationality as a feature of modern bureaucracy is now seen as projected onto the governmental process, rather than inherent to it. Furthermore, as the nation state loses its status as a sovereign historical agent, it is instead seen as the subject and outcome of historically variable and contested representations. With this perspective in mind, the Political History PhD Network invites PhD candidates in political history to submit a proposal for its second annual workshop.

Conference, symposium - Law

The Rule of Crisis

Crisis Legislation, Emergencies and the Rule of Law

After recent terrorist attacks, French political institutions have been undergoing legislative and constitutional amendments that are part of a specific legal category which could well be termed “crisis laws”. While these laws often share the vocabulary of a “state of exception”, engaging its political and philosophical references, they must yet be distinguished from it. Whereas a “state of exception” interrupts the rule of law in principle, the laws adopted in several countries following terrorist attacks have melded the state of exception into the legal framework. The rule of law is no longer interrupted: the rule of law is modified and the exception becomes the rule. The focus of this conference, which will adopt a comparative point of view, is to question this transformation, not necessarily with the aim to evaluate it, but in order to think it through while drawing attention to the inadaptability of traditional legal and philosophical categories in a new/changing political world.

Call for papers - Psyche

Critical Psycholawgy: Dialogue at modern times between legal and psychological sciences

Links between psychology and law rightly raise more and more scientific awareness. The human being, as the common object of this two fields, is studied from both an individual and a social perspective. This stream is an invitation to build an interface and exchange between clinical psychology, cross cultural psychology, justice and law through a critical perspective. This critical approach can be reached with a psychoanalytical lecture of society. This stream is an invitation to an interdisciplinary dialogue to open discussions in a world in perpetual motion. We are looking for papers on those topics: Psychocriminology, Critical Psychology, Psychoanalysis, Post-colonial and Critical historical studies.

Protest in French and Francophone Arts and Culture

Society for French Studies Postgraduate Conference 2016

Protest is an intrinsic part of human culture, which enables subjects to express their dissatisfaction with existing social structures and hegemonic hierarchies of power. Protests have occurred across time periods and contexts, and have taken numerous different forms, ranging from personal expressions of discontent to united movements for revolutionary change. Protests can be individual or collective, personal or political, spontaneous or carefully planned, but they are generally orientated towards destabilising the status quo and establishing new modes of existence. Over the ages, political, social and cultural protests have successfully toppled authoritarian regimes, exposed and confronted dominant imbalances of power, and ameliorated conditions for disenfranchised members of society.

Creating the Europe 1600-1815 Galleries

This conference celebrates the opening of the V&A’s new Europe 1600-1815 Galleries. It will introduce some of the new patterns of living that laid the foundations for our modern world. The papers will be presented according to the three main themes that create a narrative structure for the displays and interpretation in the galleries: first, that, for the first time ever, Europeans systematically explored, exploited, and collected resources from Africa, Asia and the Americas in their art and design; second, that France took over from Italy as leader of fashion and art in the second half of the 17th century; and third, that ways of living came to resemble those we know today.

Protest: forms and aspects of phenomena of protest in the arts and culture in France and the French-speaking world

Journée des doctorants de la Society for French Studies 2016

Propre à l’activité humaine, la manifestation comme forme de protestation permet aux individus d’exprimer leur mécontentement vis-à-vis des structures sociales et des hiérarchies de pouvoir hégémoniques existantes. Les formes de manifestations varient selon les contextes et périodes, allant de l’expression du mécontentement personnel aux appels aux changements révolutionnaires. L’acte de manifester peut donc être individuel ou collectif, personnel ou politique, spontané ou organisé, mais il est presque toujours orienté vers la déstabilisation du statu quo et vise souvent à proposer de nouvelles façons d’exister. À travers l’histoire, les manifestations, qu’elles soient légales ou non, ont ainsi permis aux peuples de renverser des régimes autoritaires, exposer et confronter des déséquilibres de pouvoir, ou encore d’améliorer les conditions de vie des individus privés de droits sociaux.

Italy’s Decade of War: 1935-1945 in International Perspective

From the invasion of Abyssinia to the end of World War II, Italy experienced a decade of war. This conference aims to re-evaluate the history of the Italian experience during this ten-year period with a unifying perspective that places the Italian Fascist regime and its foreign and military enterprises in an entirely internationalised framework of analysis. It will bring an international focus upon the Italian role in the break-down of the international system and appeasement, and will analyse the consequences of Italian militarism on a global scale. It will explore comparative and transnational histories of the Italian occupations of France, the Balkans, Greece, and Albania, as well as the Allied occupation of Italy following the defeat.

“Clash of Cultures”? Confrontation, Collusion and Cooperation in Wartime since 1870

L’état de guerre a de nombreuses conséquences imprévisibles. L’une d’entre elle est la mise en mouvement de masses humaines qui forcent des individus et des groupes à entrer en contact les uns avec les autres, souvent de manière imprévue. Ces échanges mènent à de nombreuses stratégies de gestion qui induisent parfois une opposition d’ordre culturel mais peuvent aussi, dans d’autres cas, mener vers des relations de coopération. Le but de ce colloque est d’explorer les multiples conséquences de ces interactions en temps de guerre.

The Allied Occupation of Germany Revisited

New Research on the Western Zones of Occupation, 1945-1949

The Allied occupation of Western Germany after the Second World War has long constituted a classic component in academic histories of post-war Germany. After having been the subject of sustained scholarly attention in the 1970s and 1980s, the subject has subsequently faced a decline in academic interest. This two-day conference is intended to showcase new research and provide a forum for the presentation of innovative approaches to the history of the three western zones of occupation. It also aims to stimulate dialogue between historians of the different zones of occupation and so bring together hitherto almost entirely segregated historiographies. We are inviting papers from both emerging scholars and established specialists.

The War within: finance and morality in early-modern Europe (1630-1815)

While many historical studies have shown that the funding of international warfare had a profound impact on institutional and economic developments, less work has been done on the ways in which European polities responded to the "War within" that pitted those who benefited from war expenditure against those who paid for the military effort. A series of case studies on Spain, Venice, the Dutch provinces, the Austrian Low Countries, Prussia, France, Britain and Sweden will analyse some of the conflicts that arose when the needs and methods of financing war met social demands for morality and accountability. These are fundamental questions that still resonate and have relevance today as governments and societies try to move on from the Global Financial Crisis.

The aim of these sessions is to gain an overview of the current research and to establish a network of researchers from different countries.
