This conference seeks to reflect on the relationship existing between private gun ownership and the processes of imposition (or re-imposition) of State legitimacy in peacetime as much as during or in the aftermath of armed conflicts. It intends to do so specifically by addressing how the process of modernization and its ensuing tendency to codification and the world wars and their long shadows have had an impact on three aspects of these processes: institutional regulations on civilian possession of firearms from above; juridical debate on limits and rights of State control; practices and culture of gun ownership on the ground.

Crisis and infrastructures: responses to change between materiality and immateriality
A dialogue between Anthropology, Geography and History
The purpose of the conference is to explore the interactions between crised and infrastructures starting from a pivotal question: is it possibile to consider transitional processes as moments of "a transformazion that includes some essential elements of the previous phase?" (Pombeni 2013: 12) Or are they to be intended just as a dramatic interruptions and breaks? PhD Students, Post-Docs and Research Fellows of historical, geographical and anthropological training are invited to partecipate in the construction of a moment of dialogue and excange. The aim is to stimulate an interdisciplinary discussion that will encompass all historiographical epochs, from antiquity to the present day, and question not only the role of infrastructure in the resolution of crises, but also the various implications of critical moments and of their conception.

En effet, le concept et le terme de médiation apparaissent dans diverses sciences humaines et sociales (ex. droit, philosophie, psychologie, sciences du langage, sciences de l’information et de la communication, sciences de l’éducation…). Au vu de plusieurs conceptualisations dans ces disciplines, il devient urgent de discerner l’essentiel de la médiation et d’en mettre en lumière les traits conceptuels les plus significatifs au sein de chaque discipline ainsi que de façon transversale à ces dernières. Faisant suite au colloque international « L’essentiel de la médiation. Vers un consensus sur le concept dans les sciences humaines et sociales » (Padoue, 1-2 mars 2018), un appel à publication pour ouvrage est lancé et ouvert à tous les auteurs qui souhaitent participer à un ouvrage pluridisciplinaire et interdisciplinaire de référence sur « l’essentiel de la médiation ».

European Space Agency's Space History Conference
There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

Children on the move from the 20th to the 21st century
A biopolitics perspective
Migrant children are often at the crossroads of conflicting priorities related to local and global issues (conflict, displacement, poverty, (under)development). Throughout history, states, organisations, institutions, and communities have tried to manage and control migrants and migratory processes. While the latter topic has been the subject of extensive research, the study of child migration lags behind. This workshop aims to address this gap by adopting Foucault’s theoretical framework of biopolitics – a control apparatus exerted over a population – to the case of children.

Contemporary art as mediation of ecological crisis
6th STS (Science and Technology Studies) Italia Conference
In this session of the 6th STS Italia Conference on Sociotechnical Environments, we will consider how contemporary art addresses new questions to environmental issues; how it questions our relation with nature and technique; and how artistic creation may indicate new kinds of answers to contemporary ecological issues. This call is open to various disciplinary fields: contribution proposals could aim to describe kinds of knowledge that contemporary art contribute to produce in the field of ecology, as to trace a history of the dialogue between environmental issues and artistic creations, and, more generally, on case studies questioning the notions of art, technique and environmental issues.

Summer School in Padua 2014
L’université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne et l’Università degli Studi di Padova s’associent pour organiser une université d’été. La thématique retenue pour cette manifestation scientifique est : Inventio / Transmissio : la dialectique du neuf et de l'ancien dans la création littéraire (du Moyen Âge aux romantismes). Volontairement large, elle permettra de faire se rencontrer des spécialistes de périodes différentes et d’aires linguistiques et culturelles variées. Il s’agit d'en interroger les actualisations (textuelle, générique, historique, critique), selon des configurations propres, à différentes époques et dans différentes littératures. L’université d’été aura lieu à Padoue du 7 au 11 juillet 2014, dans les locaux de l’université. Elle est ouverte à 14 jeunes chercheurs (doctorants et post-doctorants) qui seront encadrés par une dizaine d’enseignants-chercheurs confirmés.

Approaches to the history of vision in the modern period, 19th-20th century
The CSC (Centro Interuniversitario di Storia Culturale) is looking for discussants for its fore-coming international conference on "The Gazing Society. Approaches to the history of vision in the modern period (19th-20th century)", that will take place in Padova, Italy at the beginning of 2012. The conference aims to be a stimulating opportunity for approaching the study of "the gazing society" between the 19th and the 20th centuries. Each historical period can be said to be characterized by its own “visual structures“, and, thus, by perceptive experiences, practices and languages which are culturally determined. History, and in particular modern history, can therefore offer a broad scope of research. The aim of the conference is precisely to build a comprehensive picture of the state of the art as well as to foster an international debate on the topic. The conference will be held in Italian and English. -

The Mediterranean and Southern Europe: crisis and transformation from détente to the Second Cold War
L’objectif de ce colloque est de placer les crises de la Méditerranée dans un contexte plus vaste qui prenne en compte les changements globaux des dernières décennies du XX siècle. Si les années 1980 ont été la dernière décennie de ce « court XXe siècle » dominé par le conflit est-ouest, mais aussi le début d’une nouvelle ère, les années 1970 ont représenté un moment crucial à plusieurs points de vue : c’est à cette époque que les pays du Sud cherchent à modifier les règles des rapports économiques les liant au Nord industrialisé, c’est alors que les pays membres de la CEE s’engagent dans un parcours visant à affirmer leur identité et leur rôle sur le plan international, et c’est finalement le moment où se redéfinissent les relations entre l’Occident et les pays arabes afin de faire face à de nouveaux défis. Il est donc désormais possible de lancer de nouvelles pistes de recherche visant à explorer l’évolution économique, politique et militaire des années 1970. -

Call for papers - Prehistory and Antiquity
Methodological and interpretative issues
One of the main characteristics of Roman settlement consists in the implementation of a series of interventions aiming at preparing specific areas for cultivation and making land divisions and distributions. The most important and characteristic feature of these operations is the realization of centuriation systems, that have often radically modified the landscape and agrarian morphology of the countryside. The aim of this conference is to define a methodological protocol of common lines of research on this subject, in order to assign specific roles to the different sources and research tools. The conference will also provide opportunities to deepen a number of themes concerning historical aspects of this phenomenon, particularly that of the continuity or discontinuity of the centuriation systems.
