  Socio-economic approaches to sexuality

  La sexualité est une forme d’échange social qui relève à la fois du symbolique, du politique, du juridique, mais aussi – et c’est ce qui nous intéresse ici – de l’économique. Si quelques ouvrages récents consacrent des développements à la question, l’économie de la sexualité est absente des principaux ouvrages de synthèse. Ce colloque vise à discuter des travaux en sciences sociales qui examinent les rapports entre la sexualité et l’économie. Cet événement scientifique se tiendra à Lille, les 12 et 13 octobre 2017. Chacune des sessions sera discutée par un chercheur membre du comité scientifique.

  Formal and informal networks of migrant women and men in settlement process (14th-19th centuries)

  Panel at the European Social Science History Conference (ESSHC)

  This panel aims to study settlement patterns of migrants, according to a gendered approach. It aims to bring together scholars working on migration and settlement dynamics, by focusing on the extension and quality of relationships that newcomers could develop in the new environment and by highlighting differences between men and women. In addition it aims to investigate how these ties influenced, successfully or not, their settlement process: the daily life, the research of a job or a house, the access to credit networks, to poor relief or to other urban resources etc...

  Summer School - History

  Work organization in Medieval and Modern periods

  6th summer school of economic history

  The topic of the the sixth economic history summer school will enable us to continue and deepen the themes developed over the past few years (the value of things, poverty, common goods, means of payment and quality). While work involves acting on material things, its organization implies a reflection on the property of things, the relationships with time, discipline, control and know-how. On the part of governments, it also requires information that makes it possible to reflect on the state of economic life as well as on all the conflicts endemic to society, to be able to work out legal and practical devices that are necessary for the constitution of a particular knowledge. It also finally questions issues around technical training and the command of various forms of know-how, in contexts that sometimes place some rival systems in a competing situation.

  When the film industry asks questions of its audience

  GREPs second study day

  Si les enquêtes menées par l’industrie du cinéma auprès de ses publics sont des pratiques anciennes et représentent des enjeux de recherche majeurs, elles sont demeurées assez peu investies par le monde universitaire. Cette journée d’étude, qui tâche de tisser un lien entre professionnels et chercheurs, propose de mettre ces sources à l’honneur en questionnant les multiples façons dont l’industrie du cinéma cherche à connaître et comprendre ses publics.

  Ecclesiastical spaces and secular fiefdoms

  Definitions, models and conflicts in interface zones (9th-13th centuries)

  La distinction claire entre monde laïque et monde ecclésiastique et le concept d’espace de domination, compris comme une zone connue, délimitée et donc cartographiable, semblent aujourd’hui être des notions évidentes. Elles ne l’étaient pourtant absolument pas dans un monde médiéval où, d’une part, la réforme grégorienne a entamé, à la fin du XI^e siècle, un processus de séparation des pouvoirs aristocratiques laïques et ecclésiastiques et où, d’autre part, la conception de l’espace de domination aristocratique connut une évolution très importante, du X^e au XIII^e siècle, avec un phénomène de spatialisation, puis de territorialisation, du pouvoir, ce qui permet progressivement de passer d’une cartographie faite de points à l’émergence de zones de domination plus ou moins identifiables et donc représentables graphiquement.

  Forgotten products, products threatened with extinction, extinct products

  The causes and mechanisms of decline, 14th-21st century

  Dans le cadre du programme TERESMA qui s’intéresse aux liens entre produits de terroirs, territoires, espaces et marchés hier et aujourd’hui, ce colloque se propose d’essayer de comprendre les causes et les mécanismes du déclin de certains produits du XIV^e au XXI^e siècle. Si l’histoire et les sciences sociales en général se sont beaucoup intéressées aux success stories, aux produits qui ont réussi à se diffuser largement, à s’inscrire dans la durée, à assoir leur notoriété et à entraîner la croissance de secteurs économiques, d’entreprises ou de territoires, l’échec peut lui aussi être un objet historique permettant de mettre en lumière les transformations économiques, sociales et culturelles d’une époque et d’un espace. Étudier les multiples processus de déclin, de la menace latente sur un aliment à sa disparition définitive, conduit ainsi à interroger les choix alimentaires et leurs contraintes, les orientations du secteur agro-alimentaire ou les politiques menées dans ce domaine.

  The Middle East and Europe: cross-cultural, diplomatic and economic exchanges in the early modern period (1500-1820)

  This conference is an international symposium that proposes to study the entire range of exchanges and relations established between these two areas during the Early Modern Times (1500-1820). Its main objective is to think about diplomatic, economic, religious and cultural links between Europe and the Middle East by calling upon over twenty researchers with specializations in the Arab, Persian and Muslim world. In addition, this conference will provide a comprehensive overview to date of the Arabian Gulf at a time of major political change, including the successive arrival of the European “trading empires”. It will focus on some of the methodological challenges raised by a global, connected and cross-cultural thinking approach to the History of the Middle East and Europe”.

  Climate and Societies in the Mediterranean during the Last Two Millennia

  Current State Of Knowledge and Research Perspectives

  This two-day international conference aims to highlight recent and challenging interdisciplinary studies dealing with complex historical climate/society interactions in Mediterranean during the last two millennia. The study of these existing connections can help in better understanding the role played by past climatic events in the eruption of regional conflicts, in forced migration and displacement of people, in periodically appearing infectious disease outbreaks or in subsistence crises like food shortages and famines Similarly, it seems necessary to identify and analyze socio-economic and technological responses (e.g. water supply systems) together with mitigation and general adaptation strategies, insofar as they existed, to cope with climate change.
