The Renewal of Buildings and Spaces as Urban Policy, from Antiquity to the Present
Everywhere in Rome, monuments are covered with ancient or modern inscriptions that not only contain the name of the original builder but also commemorate their restoration. Popes from the Quattrocento and Cinquecento who acted as urban planners, such as Sixtus IV, presented themselves as ‘restorers’, even when they were actually modernising the City. This phenomenon is not restricted to the Renaissance period: many Roman emperors already claimed to be rebuilders, such as Augustus who repaired all the damaged temples of Rome according to the Res Gestae, or Septimius Severus who was called Restitutor Vrbis on his coinage. Rome thus seems to be a city that constantly needs to be restored, rebuilt, born again. This conference aims to investigate how the notions of restoration and rebuilding were a driving force of Rome’s urban transformation throughout its history, from Antiquity to the 21st century, as well as a political program put forward by the authorities and an ideal more or less shared by the different key actors of the city.

Creating a diaspora in the city - memories, representations and institutions
Mediterranean Europe, 14th-18th century
Nous souhaitons aborder dans ces journées d’études les enjeux de la construction d’un groupe en diaspora à travers le cadre urbain, pris à la fois comme espace et territoire dans lequel se déploient les perceptions et les stratégies des acteurs, et pris également comme lieu dans lequel les communautés interagissent entre elles, avec les institutions et autorités locales. Nous proposons donc de faire se rencontrer l’étude des diasporas avec deux thématiques actuelles de l’histoire urbaine : l’étude de la répartition et de l’implantation des étrangers en ville d’une part, et celle des usages de l’espace urbain d’autre part. Il s'agira de comprendre, par l’urbain et ses spécificités, comment on aboutit à des identités collectives – parfois souples et négociées, parfois assignées de manière plus autoritaire – de ces groupes sociaux qui finissent par être pensées et se penser comme diaspora, voire par être institutionnalisés.

The Agreements of the Holy See with States (19th-21st Centuries)
Models and Transformations, from Confessional States to Religious Freedom
This conference will explore the international legal agreements signed between the Holy See and individual states, which often but not always took the form of concordats and similar conventions. Its central focus will be to examine these conventions in light of diplomatic practices, as well as in relation to the political and religious dynamics of the nineteenth through the twenty-first centuries, notably the principles and requirements that comprised modernity. This entails assessing the historical evolution of the typology, method, content, scope, and spaces concerned.

The European Left and the Jewish question
Zionism, anti-semitism and the Arab-Israeli conflict (1789-1989)
The seminar on contemporary history of the Department of social and economic sciences of Sapienza University of Rome will organize a conference that will take place from 13 to 14 December 2018 in Rome titled: “The European Left and the Jewish question: Zionism, anti-Semitism and the Arab-Israeli conflict”. The goal is to explore the relationship between the Left and Jews in the two hundred years’ history of the political left, considering three major themes: the Jewish question as seen by left-wing authors; Anti-Semitism and its representations in left-wing culture; The Arab-Israeli conflict as a node of comparison between the Left and the Jewish question.

Tools and Methods for the History of Churches between East and West (5th-19th century)
This doctoral workshop will make it possible to relate compartmentalized historiographies even though they share a central and strong object, the Church, which is often treated only as a backdrop to history. The participants who will take part in this school will have the opportunity to see combined diverse and complementary approaches: social, normative, liturgical, political, orientalist. The participants will have access to the methods, the problematization and the last achievements of these different interdisciplinary approaches in the long term.

Spaces, Norms, and Representations (Europe and Mediterranean, 14th-19th centuries)
Cet atelier doctoral de cinq jours permettra d’interroger la place des minorités dans des espaces et des temps divers. Alors que l’Europe n’en finit pas de se confronter à la question de la place qu’elle peut et qu’elle veut faire à des minorités extrêmement diverses (nationales, ethniques, religieuses, immémorialement implantées ou à peine arrivées, etc.), il paraît nécessaire de réfléchir aujourd’hui à la place des minorités sur la longue durée et de manière critique – c’est-à-dire, d’abord, en soumettant à une réflexion critique la notion de « minorité », trop couramment acceptée sans examen.

Interrogating the “Trente glorieuses”
Models of Statehood in Postwar Europe
Understanding the Trente glorieuses not as a political-economic realitybut as a specific model of statehood with specific ideologicalunderpinnings opens a new way of looking at this period. At thisconference we want to reevaluate the political and intellectualpreconceptions on which the post-war decades are based and investigatetheir diffusion and circulation in democratic and non-democraticEuropean contexts. Focusing on the whole of Europe and not merely on astylized Western European model will allow us to broaden ourunderstanding of this time period and highlight concrete understandingsof statehood, the economy and democratic government. Examining thestatus, the adaptations and variations of the trente glorieuses modeland its synonyms across different political and social contexts inEurope after 1945 will allow us to reflect on the construction of thistime period in historical, political and economic thought.

The effects of World War I on the christian churches
11 November 1918 saw the end of the First World War, known at the time as the “Great War” (1914-1918) for its global scale, extreme destructivity and unseen casualty rates. On the one hand, wars evoke heroism and patriotism and bring people and groups to alter their mental boundaries and abilities. On the other hand, wars also elicit hatred, envy and violent behaviour, the settling of hidden accounts, the abandonment of ethical standards, and deep divisions and confrontations between families and societies. Since effects of the first world conflict were enormous and the shock waves were felt for years and generations to come, the question arises about the impact of the Great War on religion and the established churches.

Inhabiting movement, 16th-21st centuries
L’atelier thématique a pour objet la relation entre mobilité et modes d’habiter l’espace, selon une perspective interdisciplinaire et de longue durée. Le choix de cette thématique puise ses racines dans plusieurs projets collectifs et recherches individuelles menées au sein de l’UMR TELEMME et de la MMSH. La notion d’habiter proposée dans cet atelier est comprise dans le sens le plus large du terme : « faire avec l’espace », qui ne se limite pas à celui de « résider stablement », mais qui est aussi synonyme de fréquenter, d’être dans un lieu pour des raisons diverses et triviales : travailler, s’amuser, se réfugier, s’abriter, se réunir, se promener, parcourir, boire et manger, etc.

The italian fascism through the prism of contemporary arts
Reinterpretations, montages, deconstructions
In a more or less explicit way, daily news bring to our attention the survival of forms and values which rely on fascist imagery. Thinking about fascism through the prism of contemporary arts means to deal with a term whose significance has to be read at least in a double sense: on one hand, the historical experience of the regime that ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943; on the other hand, by extension, the very form of totalitarian power. Contemporary arts’ gaze seems to work on these two different albeit related topics: the Italian fascism as historical event (faced with all the troubles of its memories), and the fascism as the fundamental process of power’s relationship and rituals.

Policing foreigners in European cities during the long eighteenth-century
Cette session accueille les propositions de communication qui s'intéressent à la manière dont les « étrangers » sont appréhendés par les polices urbaines en Europe, dans un XVIIIe siècle entendu largement, des années 1670-1680 aux premières décennies du XIXe siècle. Les communications peuvent porter sur la définition des « étrangers » et leur statut, l'apparition de catégories nationales, les pratiques policières et les interactions entre police et étrangers dans l'espace urbain, les transformations policières face aux étrangers, les interactions entre les pratiques locales et les politiques nationales. Nous souhaitons encourager à l'occasion de cette rencontre les comparaisons européennes.

Border towns and the resilience of frontiers in Early Modern cities
The session welcomes contributions that deal with questions of shifting borders and how these shifts impacted the political, social, economic or religious organization of a given city or cities in Europe. Papers may focus on questions of practice, concerning the resilience of local political elites and administrations or the local population. They may also deal with the contemporary considerations to change the space of both cities and states, political agendas, procedures to implement them and the 'instruments' to control these implementations.

Status and Social Conditions under the Risk of Social Demotion
Western and Southern Europe, 16th to Early 19th centuries
Le déclassement social est aujourd’hui un défi politique majeur pour les sociétés occidentales et un objet d’études central pour les sciences sociales. L’historiographie des sociétés d’Ancien Régime s’est davantage intéressée à la mobilité ascendante qui était aussi plus productrice de sources, elle a néanmoins abordé le phénomène du déclassement à travers l’étude des cas de dérogeances de la noblesse, celle des pauvres honteux et des institutions d’assistance. Ce colloque entend se pencher sur les discours tenus sur le déclassement en interrogeant l’usage de catégories d’analyse mobilisées par les historiens pour étudier les sociétés anciennes.
