Displaying the social history of migrants: content, scenography, public engagement
Donner à voir l’histoire sociale des migrations: contenus, scénographies, médiations
We seek proposals from post-doctoral scholars, recent PhDs, as well as those in the final stages of their dissertations with a background in related fields, in particular migration studies and social history, especially as they intersect with museum studies and/or public history. Participants will discuss, from a theoretical and a practical point of view, the best ways to display, in an exhibition context, the daily experience of past migrations in all their social dimensions.

This event hopes to further discussions on the role of the State in the implementation of public health policies. We will also look into the responses given to these policies, whether they are judged too interventionist (denouncing dispossession of knowledges described as traditional) or insufficient (demanding for comprehensive and equitable care). We seek to to analyze the changes coming from the "left hand" of the State, in the contemporary neo-liberal framework, its genesis and its historical counter-examples. After a first day of sessions dedicated to scientific presentations, in a multidisciplinary framework open to all social sciences, the symposium also aims to open a space for exchanges with civil society. We would also like to take into account the international circulation of notions – as expressed by the phrase "obstetric violence", which both owes much to Latin American spaces and have had its meaning changed through such circulations.

Resistance to Order and Authority (ROAR)
CEU/ELTE/Masaryk PhD Conference 2020
Religion has served to legitimize political power, but it has also been a basis for resistance against order and authority. Be it the Maccabean revolt, Gandhi's practice of non-violence resistance, contemporary neo-pagan religions, or the counter-system movements portrayed by Mark Juergensmeyer in his 2001 book Terror in the Mind of God, religious beliefs have motivated people to reject social order that they deem as unjust, and possibly rise against it. Even in today’s secularized societies, religion has served as the ground for social movements and manifestations addressing pressing socioeconomic threats such as climate change, social inequality, authoritarian governments and minority discrimination. These observations have encouraged new trends in scholarly debate, especially regarding the emergence of alternative religious ideas and rituals in modern societies. old and new religious convictions legitimized various resistance movements among different communities? Which causes have influenced violent mobilizations against established social order, non-violent struggle, or the establishment of alternative community frameworks? What can these movements and ideas tell us about the role that religion plays today both in secularized and non-secularized societies?

A pluridisciplinary approach to the 1870-1871 war
Cette journée vise à croiser les regards disciplinaires sur cette guerre méconnue en mobilisant l'histoire militaire, l'histoire des relations internationales, l'histoire culturelle, le droit et la sociologie, en abordant à la fois les questions diplomatiques et stratégiques, la guerre et l'après-guerre, et en s'intéressant aux institutions politiques et militaires, mais aussi aux hommes tombés.

Workshop on sexual violence in modern southern European history
Southern European gender models and the implications of these on the study of sexual violence in the western world are relatively under-theorised within broader narratives of the western subject. This workshop seeks to address this lacuna through an exploration of the intersection of southern European culture – understood through the prism of “unity in diversity” – and sexual violence in the modern period. A thorough comparison of sexual violence within the diverse localities of the European south will allow similarities and differences to emerge, and will help to decentre current emphasis on the English-speaking world within the current historiography on sexual violence.

Comparative perspectives to social innovation in SMEs
New faces, a diversity of contexts, alternative approaches and issues
Ce colloque s’intéresse ainsi à l’innovation sociale et à l’une de ses modalités, l’entrepreneuriat social, dans la diversité de leurs espaces, formes, processus, ou résultats. Il s’agira, à travers la mise en commun d’expertises et de résultats de recherche, de faire le point sur l’état actuel des connaissances, de questionner les approches retenues pour l’étude de l’innovation sociale intra-organisation, et d’en cerner les modalités d’évaluation et l’impact. L’ambition est, notamment, de poser des bases innovantes d’un cadre conceptuel renouvelé, transdisciplinaire, post-moderne, post-colonial, et/ou critique.

Towards a Decentered History of Dance
How is history moved, reconfigured, stimulated, by current research on dance? In connection with the Lyon Dance Biennale and the forthcoming publication of A History of Dance in the West (Ed. Seuil, Sept. 2020), this international conference in Lyon, France, aims to extend questions addressed by scholars’ contributions to the book, as well as generate entirely new dialogues via various acts of “decentering” dance historical scholarship. The polysemic notion of decentering is here understood as an invitation to reevaluate theoretical models, methods, approaches and historiographies of dance.

Doctoral study day at the Association française de l'histoire des mondes du travail (AFHMT)
Cette journée d'étude portera sur la question de l’écriture du travail. Elle s’inscrit dans une actualité politique, sociale et historiographique qui donne une acuité particulière à cette question. Le succès d’ouvrages de travailleurs et/ou sur les travailleurs, à l’instar de Joseph Ponthus, À la ligne, montre la diversification des écritures sur le travail à l’épreuve de ses formes les plus contemporaines, comme le développement de l’intérim. Cette journée d’étude accueillera prioritairement mais non exclusivement, et sur toutes les périodes de l’histoire, les communications portant sur les écrits produits par les travailleurs et travailleuses eux-mêmes. Ces écritures peuvent être de nature diverse (carnets, journaux, autobiographies, romans, écrits collectifs…) et revêtir des objectifs eux-mêmes variés, qu’il s’agisse d’écrits à vocation de témoignage, ou d’entreprises de nature philosophique, anthropologique, voire politique, et que leurs auteur.e.s aient cherché à publier ou non.

Sounds and voices in the Middle Ages
Questes seminar
L’oralité, la performance, l’émotion, le paysage sonore, la vocalité permettent d’aborder l’homme d’une autre façon, peut-être plus anthropologique et plus sensorielle. Depuis quelques années, les travaux se multiplient pour toutes les époques mais l’époque médiévale n’est pas en reste et les projets de reconstitution sonore émergent pour Amiens, Avignon, Constantinople, Beowulf… La voix est centrale dans les sociétés médiévales où l’oralité permet aussi bien l’expression de soi, le négoce, le plaidoyer que le spectacle. D’une façon plus globale, tous les sons, quels qu’ils soient, construisent le paysage sonore de chaque société, à chaque instant. Cependant, leur caractère individuel, sensoriel et éphémère et l’absence d’enregistrement ont largement retardé leur étude. Il convient à présent d’étudier les traces de ce monde sonore disparu, au fil des trois séances de séminaire.

Crank handles: A muscular history of industrialization (XVIII th -XXI th centuries)
The crank handle is an apparently simple device, so simple that its historical study seems to stop when industrialization begins. Although the first industrial machines did not run on coal and steam but on muscles and cranks. The workshop aims to interrogate the persistence of the crank handle driven by human force, even as new energy sources overlap. To what extent did the cranks accompany the mechanization of production in the past and today? How did they shape contemporary industrialization? How did these crank techniques coexist with large industry? In what spaces and under what conditions does this cohabitation take place?

Racism and Anti-Semitism: global, national and local perspectives
Research seminar 2020 / FMSH
The seminar of the International Platform on Racism and Antisemitism intends to approach racism and anti-Semitism as a global, national and local phenomena, resulting from numerous metamorphoses and historical evolutions. The old forms of racism have not disappeared, but they are now in institutional and systemic mode, and in so-called "cultural" or "differentialist" form. Hatred and rejection of the other are now to be found on social networks (conspiracy theories, often anti-Semitic) and in algorithms. At a time of increase in identity-based movements and competition amongst victims, racist and anti-Semitic prejudice is even developing in some minorities or in groups defending minorities.

Diasporas, charity and the construction of belonging
A connected history of practices of ‘goodwill’ in Egypt during the imperial age (19th–20th centuries)
Egypt was a space of circulation in the 19th and 20th centuries; a pole of attraction for migrants from Europe and around the Mediterranean. Numerous individuals from Ottoman provinces choose it as a place of exile. Greeks, Italians and Maltese, to name the most numerous groups, swelled the ranks of populations of European origin, which was chiefly concentrated in urban centres. Numerous institutions and charities were created to support these mobile populations. A space of rivalry between different actors (consulates, associations, missionaries, philanthropists, etc), charity in the context of diaspora/diasporic communities/groups has not been sufficiently studied. Inspired by recent works in connected history, this workshop aims to approach charity from a relational perspective, through a comparison of the discourses on and the practices of ‘goodwill’ implemented by different groups.
