Call for papers - Economy

The Political Economy of the Islamic Republic of Iran

An accurate assessment of the current economic and political situation in Iran today clearly implies examining the relations between the structure of political power, the dominant forms of ownership, and economic activity. Furthermore, the interweaving of the economic and political spheres in Iran today can be better understood through this lens. Finally, an analysis of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s political economy can also provide keys to understand the country's future political evolutions. An analysis in terms of political economy thus requires a multidisciplinary approach involving exchanges between economists, political scientists, sociologists, and historians.

Summer School - History

Culture and knowledge of the economy (17th-20th century)

Depuis des années, l’économie suscite de nouveau l’intérêt des historiens et des historiennes même en dehors de l’histoire économique au sens strict. Les projets de recherche inspirés des théories et méthodes de l’histoire sociale et culturelle, des cultural studies et de l’histoire des savoirs se multiplient. Cette conjoncture incite à ouvrir la discussion entre doctorants, chercheurs postdoctoraux et étudiants en master de France et d’Allemagne. L’université d’été de l’Institut historique allemand leur donnera l’occasion de se réunir à Paris et de créer des liens professionnels par-delà des communautés scientifiques nationales.

All the Beauty of the World. The European Market for non-European Artefacts (18th-20th century)

In the wake of the Western expansion, a fast growing number of non-European artefacts entered the European market. They initially made their way into princely cabinets of curiosities. Enabled by the forced opening and exploitation of more and more parts of the world and pushed by social and technological changes of the time, the 18^th century brought a boom of the market of non-European artefacts in Europe. This came along with the emergence of a broader collecting culture and the development of a rich museumscape. This market and its development in terms of methods and places of exchange and monetary and ideological value of the objects are in the focus of an international symposium that will take place in October 2016 in Berlin.

The Smaller European Powers and China in the Cold War, 1949-1989

This international conference aims to examine the policies of the smaller European powers towards China – and vice versa – during the Cold War. Thereby it focuses, on the European side, on both Western and Eastern Europe – regardless of whether a country was part of the NATO or the Warsaw Pact. Meanwhile, on the Chinese side, the conference proposes to include both Chinas, namely the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (RoC). While this should allow for the analysis of different relational constellations, the chronological framework – that ranges from the Communist victory in China in 1949 to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989 – should enable us to identify policy shifts and patterns.

Situating the Africas in a world history of food: cuisine, consumption and eating together

Cet atelier, proposé dans le cadre des IV^e Rencontres des études africaines en France (REAF) a pour objectif de rassembler des études ayant pour trait commun d’intégrer l’histoire de l’alimentation en Afrique – et dans les diasporas – aux dynamiques de l’histoire des mondialisations et de l’histoire connectée. Les contributions, portant sur une période large allant du début de la période moderne à nos jours, devront interroger la construction des goûts, des habitudes de consommation, des façons de manger et notamment de manger ensemble, en relation avec les échanges culturels et économiques entre régions d’Afrique, entre ces régions et les autres continents, et enfin entre ces régions et leurs diasporas. Les contributions pourront interroger autant les pratiques alimentaires elles-mêmes que les discours sur ces dernières émanant des sociétés africaines et des diasporas.

Dairy products in Medieval and post-medieval Mediterranean countries: production, trade, consumption

Contrasting with the Prehistory for which the question of the beginning of the consumption of dairy products is of critical importance, few studies are devoted to the production and consumption of these products during medieval and post-medieval periods. However, dairy products, especially cheese, are key components of the Mediterranean diet. Sometimes disregarded, sometimes recommended by dieticians, the latter are traded both at local and international scale. Therefore it seems necessary to organize a workshop on "Dairy products in Medieval and post-medieval Mediterranean countries: production, trade, consumption".

Tourism and WWI - practices, prospectives and memory (1914-2014)

Pratique, prospective et mémoire (1914-2014)

Si l’histoire générale du tourisme au XX^e siècle a été largement étudiée, elle délaisse quasiment systématiquement la première guerre mondiale. Pourtant, loin d’être mis entre parenthèses, le tourisme perdure durant le conflit et trouve même de nouvelles potentialités nécessaires à son essor. Quelques travaux existent mais demeurent épars, partiels et mal connus. Cet ouvrage collectif se propose donc de réaliser une synthèse du tourisme durant la Grande Guerre, ou en lien avec la Grande Guerre, en Europe ou en rapport avec l’Europe occidentale. Trois axes - non exhaustifs - sont suggérés : les pratiques touristiques, l’adaptation des structures touristiques au contexte particulier du conflit et le tourisme mémoriel.

Music-Records-Radio in French-Speaking Countries (1900-1950)

In the space of a few decades, from 1900 to 1950, musicians’ and listeners’ relationship to music was transformed with the advent of records and then the radio. The conference seeks to provide researchers an opportunity to explore collectively the relationship between music, records, and the radio by examining the following issues: the interactions between different forms of media and intermedial transfer; the ways in which composers and performers adapted to the new means of dissemination; and the social, economic, and aesthetic consequences on musical activity with the arrival of records and the radio. Restricting the context to French-speaking countries will make it possible to establish comparisons as well as connections between various record “markets” and the radio networks that developed during the period.

Rethinking the Mediterranean History and Historiography issues in the Eastern Mediterranean

History - Histories of the Mediterranean / Story - Stories in the Mediterranean

The Doctoral Workshop History - Histories of the Mediterranean / Story - Stories in the Mediterranean offers an international framework for exchange and discussion of analytical and methodological issues on the Mediterranean. The aim is to question how researchers engage in a multifaceted approach of the Mediterranean, as a historical and geographical entity, as an object of historiography, and/or as an analytical category. From Braudel’s Mediterranean to the Mediterranean of P. Horden and N. Purcell, discussion has always focused on the long or short

What do consultants do in the social world?

Properties, practices and the contributions of the "council" in the construction of reality

En mettant en perspective des recherches menées dans différents pays et portant sur un certain nombre de « types » de consultants, ce colloque suit le double objectif suivant : interroger l'évidence de l'existence même d'un « conseil », comme ensemble de pratiques proches ou homogènes ; progresser dans l'étude des contributions des consultants aux caractréristiques et aux évolutions de la société.

Endowment for transmission? The social and economic history of the Jewish family (15th-19th centuries)

Une histoire économique et sociale de la famille juive (XVe-XIXe siècle)

La storia ebraica costituisce un capitolo rilevante e particolarmente fecondo dell’attuale dibattito scientifico, sia sul versante storico-economico, che su quello antropologico, culturale e religioso. All’interno di un orizzonte di ricerca molto vasto, che identifica i Jewish studies come vero e proprio campo disciplinare, il convegno si propone di indagare, attraverso un’ottica comparativa, uno specifico argomento: le forme e le funzioni di utilizzo delle doti. L’istituzione dotale si configurava come uno degli elementi strategici nelle forme di organizzazione delle società ebraiche in Antico regime. Il suo studio ravvicinato e comparato consente, pertanto, di gettare una luce su molteplici aspetti.

The Allied Occupation of Germany Revisited

New Research on the Western Zones of Occupation, 1945-1949

The Allied occupation of Western Germany after the Second World War has long constituted a classic component in academic histories of post-war Germany. After having been the subject of sustained scholarly attention in the 1970s and 1980s, the subject has subsequently faced a decline in academic interest. This two-day conference is intended to showcase new research and provide a forum for the presentation of innovative approaches to the history of the three western zones of occupation. It also aims to stimulate dialogue between historians of the different zones of occupation and so bring together hitherto almost entirely segregated historiographies. We are inviting papers from both emerging scholars and established specialists.

Precious metals in the medieval Mediterranean

Mining, processing and circulations

Silver on one side, gold on the other? The medieval Mediterranean was an area in which precious metals were produced and circulated, intertwining three worlds, both friends and foes: Roman Christianity to the West, byzantine Christianity to the East, and Islam to the South. Precious metals (gold, silver, copper and lead), at the origin of numerous objects of the material culture and currencies used by the economies, filled the societies. They were mined, processed, commercialised, controlled and hoarded by a wide variety of stakeholders and institutions, from simple peasants to emperors.

History and memory of the Resistance in Seine-Inférieure during WWII

L’histoire de la Résistance en Seine Inférieure pendant la seconde guerre mondiale apparaît relativement moins connue que pour d’autres départements français. Sa mémoire semble également plus incertaine. Cette journée d’études vise à questionner cette lacune et à mieux comprendre cette postérité problématique. Réunissant les contributions de recherches récentes ou en cours, en France comme en Grande-Bretagne, la rencontre doit permettre aussi de nourrir le débat sur l’histoire de la Résistance engagé depuis longtemps des deux côtés de la Manche. La journée se propose ainsi de varier les approches les plus nouvelles et les plus établies de l’histoire de la Résistance, qui doivent permettre de contribuer à renouveler une histoire qui ne cesse d’évoluer avec son temps.

Cereals in the ancient world

Cultivating, stocking, transforming and redistribution

Le rôle fondamental des céréales dans les sociétés antiques n’est plus à démontrer. Longtemps influencées par l’iconographie léguée par ces civilisations, les études se sont surtout focalisées sur les étapes de la mise en culture des champs ou de la fabrication du pain et de la bière. Cependant, rares ont été les travaux mêlant les différentes sources disponibles permettant de proposer des synthèses sur l’impact des céréales dans les économies antiques. C’est donc avec une approche comparative et transversale que ce colloque propose d’étudier la question des rôle politique et économique des cultures céréalières dans le monde méditerranéen ancien.
