  Prisons, Prisoners and Prison Records in Historical Perspective

  The rise of the prison as an institution of mass incarceration for offenders has for long fascinated researchers. In part, this is due to the unusually detailed nature of most prison records. The wide availability of somewhat similar sources across diverse European and European-derived societies provides criminologists, social and economic historians, demographers and other social scientists with rich collections of personal information that have been analysed intensively since the 1970s. The increasing power of software and hardware and the accumulation of very large quantities of prison data, some of it linked to other sources, offers challenges and opportunities for researchers today. The workshop responds to the challenge of harnessing criminal justice records by bringing together scholars in different disciplines and countries to share information about their sources, methodologies of classification and analysis, and to reconceptualize research paradigms.

  Mapping Ancient Gods

  ERC Advanced Grant MAP project (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency)

  The ERC Advanced Grant MAP project (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency; 741182; http://map-polytheisms.huma-num.fr1) works on the naming systems for the divine in the Greek and Western Semitic worlds, from 1000 BCE to 400 CE and views them as testimonies to the way in which divine powers are constructed, arranged and involved within ritual. The analysis deals both with the structural aspects of the religious systems and with their contextual appropriation by social participants. Considered to be elements of a complex language, the onomastic channels are related to the gods, therefore providing access to a mapping process of the divine, to its ways of representation and to the communication strategies between men and gods.Within this framework, the MAP Team proposes a Summer School in collaboration with the French Research Centre in Jerusalem (http://www.crfj.org) which covers the project’s themes and tools.

  Rethinking the History of the Rust Belt since 1945

  This region, stretching from western New York to eastern Iowa, was until the middle of the 20th century the country's manufacturing and industrial heartland. From the Great Migrations that radically transformed its demographics to the weakening of its economic model, as well as the massive struggles waged by local workers and protagonists of the Civil Rights movement, the political and social history of the Rust Bel. By bringing into dialogue the ongoing or recently completed research of doctoral students and junior academics with a view to opening up new perspectives on the history of the Rust Belt, from a range of disciplines (history, sociology, political science, geography), we intend to highlight spaces and actors too often relegated to the margins of this region’s history, despite their having decisively contributed to shaping the contemporary Rust Belt

  Genetic criticism as process (1968-2018)

  International congress of the Institut des textes et manuscrits modernes - fiftieth anniversary

  La critique génétique fêtera en 2018 le cinquantième anniversaire de l’événement qui rendit sa naissance possible. C’est en effet en 1968 que l’équipe Heine fut créée par le CNRS, afin de permettre l’exploitation d’un important fonds de manuscrits du poète allemand Heinrich Heine dont la Bibliothèque Nationale venait de faire l’acquisition grâce à Louis Hay, alors jeune maître assistant à la Sorbonne. On connaît la suite de l’histoire : sous l’impulsion de Louis Hay, l’équipe Heine a rapidement agrégé autour d’elle des chercheurs spécialistes d’autres corpus, jusqu’à la création de l’Institut des Textes et Manuscrits Modernes comme unité propre du CNRS en 1982. La critique génétique n’a cessé depuis de se développer et d’explorer les sentiers de la création...

  How to build capacity and community for Digital Humanities teaching and research

  In this two-day workshop, we will share what we have done at UCLA to build real capacity and community for digital humanities teaching and research. Drawing from our experience creating the Scholarly Innovation Lab (SIL), on Day 1 we will share our story and offer guidance and best practices for building a DH lab with modest investment. On Day 2 we will introduce and discuss two of our more successful areas of practice – 3-D modelling for cultural heritage, and Zoom pedagogy for course sharing. The format will be conversational. Our goal is to help cultivate practical approaches for next steps at the University of Helsinki.

  The scholarly manual, disciplinary norms and scholarly form

  Issues and challenges in the digital era

  Dix ans après la mort d’Alain Choppin, chercheur pionnier dans le champ de l’analyse quantitative  du manuel scolaire nous souhaitons centrer nos réflexions sur l’importance du manuel scolaire dans les systèmes scolaires autour de la thématique des liens entre manuels scolaires, normes disciplinaires, forme scolaire et humanités numériques. Alors que le manuel semble être un objet scolaire jugé incontournable par la plupart des systèmes éducatifs, la question se pose en effet de savoir dans quelle mesure le manuel reflète un rapport spécifique non seulement aux savoirs, mais aussi à l’organisation scolaire et aux formes scolaires, d’autant que le concept des humanités numériques interroge la nature et la place des manuels dans l’enseignement.

Although the program this year has no specific theme, it reflects the interest of the organizers for the questions that drive us to cross disciplinary boundaries: between physics and philosophy, history and philosophy, between theoretical construction and experience, between physics and other sciences.

  Typo-chronologies - debate

  The progress in research into inhumation practices since Prehistory, new data for new referentials

  En archéologie funéraire les typo-chronologies sont mises en œuvre selon différentes approches, de l’ensemble des éléments constitutifs de la tombe à une partie d'entre eux. Les référentiels typo-chronologiques à disposition des archéologues sont parfois anciens. Les avancées récentes de la recherche, dues en particulier à l’essor de l’archéologie préventive, ont permis la production d’une documentation renouvelée, dont des vestiges bien datés, notamment grâce à la multiplication des analyses radiocarbones. Ces nouvelles données doivent pouvoir contribuer à l’établissement ou à la réactualisation d’outils typo-chronologiques.
