  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.

  Climat et temps : la science comme culture publique

  Communication scientifique et son histoire – III

  This conference is the third in a series devoted to historical and contemporary perspectives on the communication of science and technology. Climate and weather provide a particularly rich and challenging case study to complete the conference series. As with other disciplines studied during the previous conferences, the climate sciences are characterised by complexity: in their professional networks; their conceptual models; and the logistics of their large-scale data and computing needs. Yet few modern scientific disciplines attract the same level of public engagement, in both everyday life and passionate debate on the future of the planet. Moreover, their status at the intersection of policy, scientific controversy and the public sphere is not a recent development: the same issues and fault lines ran through meteorology from the 18th-century onwards. Shifting interests within the history of science and the development of environmental history have greatly expanded the field in recent years. The conference will provide an opportunity to reflect on these historiographical developments via a specific focus on the communication of weather and climate from the 18th to the 21st centuries. The conference will address three themes in particular: Commodification of meteorological knowledge, Media, and Historicizing climate history.

  Pour une histoire comparative de la régulation des risques industriels, XVIIIe-XIXe siècles

  If comparison between national or regional contexts has been a driving force for the historiography of the « industrial revolution », and if environmental history has been immediately written on a global scale, the evolution of environmental and risk regulation is often studied according to the national, regional or local scales of the institutions producing the regulations. The aim of this workshop is to invite historians to consider how comparison could advance our understanding of the different ways of regulating risk and environment.

  Pour une histoire comparée des régulations du risque industriel, XVIIIe-XIXe siècles

  Le programme de recherche « Histoire des risques et des accidents industriels, France, Grande-Bretagne, fin XVIIe – fin XIXe siècle » propose de réfléchir à la question des risques industriels sur le long terme. Cette journée d'étude a pour but de réfléchir à la question des douleurs de l'industrie dans une perspective comparative.

  Les théâtres institutionnels au prisme de leurs querelles (1660-1848)

  Le lien des théâtres institutionnels aux régimes monarchiques nous invite à étudier ces questions sur une longue période, de 1669, date de création du premier privilège de l’Opéra, à 1848, où une grave crise des théâtres éclate au moment de la chute de la dernière monarchie.En portant notre attention sur l’intervention structurante des querelles dans les institutions théâtrales et dans l’institutionnalisation des pratiques, et non pas sur les querelles dramatiques déjà étudiées pour elles-mêmes dans de nombreux travaux, nous nous interrogerons sur ce qui peut faire la continuité de cette période, non pour faire un tour exhaustif de la question abordée, mais pour porter notre attention sur des études de cas concrets, susceptibles de dessiner des problématiques stimulantes pour la recherche.
