  De Mbartoua à Bertoua : cité historique, ville-carrefour, pôle économique au Cameroun

  À l’image du roi Mbartoua, la ville de Bertoua fait aujourd’hui partie des futures « agglomérations colosses » du Cameroun. Zone de transit et/ou d’accueil pour plusieurs populations locales et étrangères en provenance ou en direction de la Centrafrique voisine par exemple, Bertoua se transforme peu à peu en une véritable plaque tournante des affaires, située à mi-chemin entre Yaoundé la cité-capitale, la République Centrafricaine et le Nord du Cameroun. Le but de cet ouvrage collectif vise ainsi à revenir sur l’histoire de Bertoua, sur la vie de ses hommes, sur son évolution économique ainsi que sur les enjeux de développement de cette ville charnière du Cameroun.

  Les voix du Cameroun

  Dynamiques, acteurs et défis d’un paysage culturel en perpétuelles mutations

  Le présent projet d’ouvrage vise à susciter une lecture plurielle des dynamiques, des défis et du déploiement des acteurs de la culture camerounaise depuis la période contemporaine. Pourquoi est-ce que les hommes de culture doivent échapper aux radars de l’histoire au seul profit des hommes politiques des acteurs économiques ou sportifs ? L’histoire ne trie pas ses grands hommes, surtout pas celle du Cameroun. Dès lors, il est important en premier lieu de construire, dans une perspective transdisciplinaire, des bibliographies et des monographies des voix du Cameroun, qu’elles soient du Nord, du Sud, de l’Est ou de l’Ouest. Cet ouvrage se propose également d’aborder, autant que faire se peut, l’état des lieux des relations entre l’État du Cameroun et le monde culturel.

  The Global Migration Turn

  How New Migration Governance Changed the World in the Long 1970s

  The conference “The Global Migration Turn: How New Migration Governance Changed the World in the Long 1970s” examines the radical transformation in mobility and migration patterns and policies that occurred between the late 1960s and early 1980s. It focuses on the shift from active immigration policies to more restrictive stances in North America and Western Europe and explores the causes and consequences. Themes include changing immigration policies, refugee issues, and the role of international organisations. By bringing together scholars across disciplines, the conference aims to bring fresh, ground-breaking perspectives to the study of postwar global history. We aim to decipher the transformations that took place during the extensive period of the 1970s, which shaped migration as a globally prominent issue, particularly between an expanding West and the rest of the world.

  The Aggressor: Self-perception and External Perception of an Actor Between Nations - PhD positions

  The Department of History at Heidelberg University and the Faculty of History at the Ruhr University Bochum invite applications for five doctoral positions (part-time: 65%) to be filled from the winter 2023/24 within in the framework of the international research project “The Aggressor: Self-perception and External Perception of an Actor Between Nations”. The interdisciplinary project investigates the identity-forming construction of national enemy images across Europe, which are shaped by aggressors from neighboring countries. It systematizes and compares the perception and interpretation of particular enemy actors based on historical case studies, focusing on their discursive construction and changing significance in the politics of memory.

  Tele→Visions

  Technologies of Ubiquity in the Visual Arts, 19th-21st centuries

  The international symposium Télé—Visions brings together a body of recent work on the influence of emission, transmission and reception technologies in the visual arts and visual culture, from the 19^th century to the present. Beyond the medium of television itself, the plural “tele-visions” refers to the variety of remote viewing and image transmission techniques which, from semaphores to wireless telegraphy and up to fiber optics and contemporary networks, have configured new models for the circulation and transmission of images. Dialoguing with the history of science and technology as well as with media archaeology, the contributors to the conference will explore broad topics such as the joint evolution of perceptual regimes and remote transmission techniques, the modalities of “prosthetic vision,” the material effects of image transmission and the spatio-temporal issues inherent to network dynamics.

  Limits of Europeanness? Contested Notions of Difference and Belonging (16th–21st Centuries)

  Fourteenth Annual Conference of the Research Network on the History of the Idea of Europe

  A basic tension inherent in any idea of Europe is that it links some set of “cultural values” to a geographical space on the western fringe of the Asian landmass, but at the same time allows for a significant degree of internal diversity. There is ample evidence for the force of visions of centre and periphery in this context. The variety of ways in which such mental maps have served to underpin notions of difference and belonging in the light of Europeanness are at the core of this conference.

  Experiencing urban crisis in the Middle Ages

  To respond to the IMC Leed 2024 theme, Crisis, we propose to study urban crisis in the Middle Ages as a lived experience, which was made through specific sensations, emotions and actions. In a multi-sessions panel, we propose to examine what is needed to build an experience of crisis, and what makes it so powerful. We will also consider the sources and methods used by scholars, in order to question the phenomenology of this common lived-experience, which was lived by all but described only by the elite.

  Colonialisme allemand et traitement de la mémoire

  Regards croisés, approches et perspectives récentes

  La problématique du projet repose sur la compréhension du colonialisme à l’époque actuelle à partir d’une théorie rétrospective mais également l’influence des nouvelles approches méthodologiques sur une forme de domination dont les questions se posent de manière progressive. Plus concrètement, il s’agit surtout de mieux analyser l’héritage colonial et les pratiques scientifiques pour les utiliser dans le présent. Le projet s’adresse aux jeunes chercheur·es qui mènent des travaux sur le colonialisme allemand et se consacre particulièrement aux méthodes permettant de faire parler les sources dites muettes, ou comment cette domination allemande s’accompagne de manière pertinente d’œuvres d’art et de monuments : renouveler le rapport entre l’histoire et la mémoire et quelle contribution existe dans les nouvelles sources et perspectives.

  Beyond clichés: social-cultural representations and practices of polygamy across Sub-Saharan women’s creative works

  Seminar Series: Women in French Australia

  In this seminar we propose to re-centre various cultural representations arising from literature (oral and written), artistic mediums, media, music and cinema by Francophone Sub-Saharan women. Importantly, this seminar aims to go beyond the denunciation-celebration axis that has so far tinged many a study on polygamy in cultural representations from the continent to explore polygamy in all its forms, including unofficial extra-marital relations implying tacit acceptance of polygamy (Boni, 139), and modes of expression.

  The public use of subordinate writings in the early modern and modern periods

  We invite contributions dedicated to the dynamics of the re-signification of subaltern writings in public space in the early modern and modern period. Ordinary writings produced by subaltern actors (popular classes, men and women, childhood) in the transition from the private to the public sphere should therefore be investigated with particular attention to the spaces used, the practices adopted, the strategies of visibility (or obscuration) chosen, the appropriations by civil society, the policies of preservation of popular memory and the pedagogical- didactic use of writings.
