    Fabrications: Designing for Silk in the Eighteenth Century

    Joubert de la Hiberderie’s Le Dessinateur d’étoffes d’or, d’argent, et de soie (1765) was the first book to be published on textile design in Europe.  In preparation for the publication of an English translation and critical edition of the text this one day conference calls for papers that will analyse, critique, contextualise, review or otherwise engage with the Le dessinateur in the light of its themes: production, design, technology, education, botany and art.  Joubert’s manual argues for both a liberal and a technological education for the ideal designer. Such a person must, he argues, have detailed knowledge of the materials, technologies and traditions of patterned silk in order successfully to propose new designs; he or she must also have taste and an eye for beauty, which call, he says, for travel in order to see both the beauties of nature and those of art gathered in the gardens and galleries of Paris and the île de France.

    Rethinking Right-Wing Women

    Gender, Women and the Conservative Party, 1880s to the Present

    This two-day international conference explores the relationship between women and conservatism since the late 19th century. In the media frenzy and the re-enactment of the visceral political divisions of the 1980s that greeted the death of Margaret Thatcher in April, 2013, it soon became clear that Britain’s first woman Prime Minister was being portrayed as an aberrant figure who had emerged from a party of men.  It appeared that the media and the public had not been well enough served by academics in making sense of and contextualizing the Thatcher phenomenon and, more broadly, the paradoxical sexual politics of the Right.

    Radical Americas Symposium 2015

    The aim of the event is to bring a range of disciplinary and geographical perspectives to bear on radicalism throughout the Americas. Our definition of radicalism is a broad one, encompassing both political radicalism as an object of study, and radical analytical approaches to the societies and cultures of the Americas. We welcome proposals that deal with any aspect of radicalism, from the democratic and republican radicalisms of the nineteenth century; to the socialist, anarchist, communist, and populist radicalisms of the twentieth century; as well as contemporary identity politics, social movements, and twenty-first century radicalisms.

    Economic Life: From the Economy to the Economical?

    MANCEPT 2015

    Without living beings there would be hardly no economy. The crucial question is, however, how to conceptualize the relationship between different ways of comprehending life and different ways of understanding the economy. There seems to be at least two main possibilities, which we would like to discuss and confront with each other in this workshop.

    Le siècle de la légèreté : émergences d’un paradigme du XVIIIe siècle français

    Au dix-huitième siècle, le concept de légèreté semble envahir tous les domaines des connaissances humaines, de la morale à la physique, des inventions aérostatiques aux créations artistiques. Perpétuant cette image d’un âge léger, depuis le dix-neuvième siècle bourgeois, industrieux mais aussi nostalgique du temps des fêtes galantes, jusqu’à notre époque célébrant la frivolité (et la commercialité) des années de Marie-Antoinette et de Fragonard, le dix-huitième siècle français en sa légèreté n’a jamais cessé de séduire. Ainsi, qu’elle soit l’objet d’une conquête (scientifique, morale, esthétique, etc.) ou de constructions historiques, la légèreté du dix-huitième siècle s’impose comme un paradigme dont il s’agira de soulever les enjeux, dans une perspective critique et historiographique.

    Proximity and intraregional aspects of tourism

    RGS-IBG Annual International Conference

    This session intends to discuss the role of proximity and intraregional aspects in the ways tourism works. In a context of intense mobilities, classic dichotomies such as tourist-resident, home-away or self-other are being challenged and several questions are arising as a result. What does exotic mean in a globalized context? Which is the relationship between everyday life and tourism? What are the implications of proximity and intraregional tourism for land planning and tourism policies? (How) can tourism play a role in connecting people and nearby places? Is there a future for ‘tourism without travel’? How does proximity tourism relate to local citizenship and community responsibilities? This session welcomes both theoretical and empirical papers aiming to share new approaches in the understanding of these phenomenons.

    San-Antonio international : représentations, circulation, traductions, échanges

    L’ampleur et la pérennité du succès de San-Antonio en France restent peu comprises à l’étranger. Malgré un demi-siècle de carrière, plus de 250 livres publiés et des dizaines de millions d’exemplaires vendus, cet auteur, sous ce pseudonyme ou sous le nom de Frédéric Dard demeure très mal connu hors de France, et il est rare de trouver ses livres en librairie hors des pays francophones. Ses romans, tant sous pseudonyme que sous patronyme ont pourtant été largement traduits dans une trentaine de pays. Son œuvre a aussi circulé sous d’autres formes médiatiques, inspirant en particulier de nombreux films distribués internationalement.

    Representations of Rurality in Crime Fiction and Media Culture

    Interdisciplinary Approaches to "Setting the Scene"

    The Institute for Collaborative Research in the Humanities at Queen’s University organises a two day Symposium in June 2015  (15 & 16th) as part of its theme of "Creativity in Imagined and Material Worlds". Devoted to representations of the rural,  it will bring together studies in crime fiction and media culture looking at a variety of outlets such as fiction, film, television, comics, games and many others and inspect their various engagements  with the concept of "rurality". Interdisciplinary papers are welcomed, but not contained to, Anthropology, Modern Languages, English, Film and Media Studies, History, Cultural Studies, Historical/Cultural/Rural Geography, Sociology, Spatial Planning. By bringing together an interdisciplinary group we will address how cultural constructions of the rural often ‘set the scene’ for crime fiction.

    France and the Second World War in Global Perspective, 1919-1945

    As the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War approaches, this conference seeks to re-evaluate the experiences and roles played by France during the war and its lead-up. Its aim is to explore France in the Second World War from a global as well as domestic perspective, including the interwar years of shifting foreign relations, international entanglements, political upheaval and military build-up. What new approaches might scholars bring to the history of the Vichy regime, collaboration, resistance, liberation, and the German and Italian occupations of France and Corsica? How have historians’ understandings of the roles played by the French colonial empire and colonial forces changed? How might international, transnational or comparative approaches contribute towards developing new avenues of research in this area?
