    Conference, symposium - History

    Aluminium as a Material for Creativity from the 19th to the 21st Century

    Organisé par l'EHESS, le colloque final de l’ANR Créalu met en lumière, par une démarche pluridisciplinaire et internationale, les processus créatifs à l’œuvre depuis la découverte et l’invention d’un matériau nouveau au milieu du XIXe siècle : création d’un secteur industriel allant de la mine de bauxite aux objets du quotidien, réception et usages des produits de consommation courante ou d’exception, appropriation par les sociétés dans un contexte de globalisation. Il interroge la démarche des institutions muséales pour comprendre quelle histoire de l’aluminium est donnée à voir dans les expositions et les collections et quelle est la place de l’aluminium dans l’histoire des collections publiques en général.

    Conference, symposium - Africa

    The Routes of Medieval Africa

    11th-17th centuries

    This symposium will take stock of the theoretical ambition of this programme, relative to the disciplinary tools available to us today, to disclose, to distinguish and above all to ponder the historical connections established. If the plants, epidemics, commercial goods or written materials are proof of often-forgotten connections, they inform us only indirectly on the intensity and consequences of these economic, political and cultural connections for the societies of Southern, Eastern or Western Africa. Starting from this observation, the historians, archaeologists, linguists, and philologists involved in this release will reflect on multidisciplinary models that go beyond the observation of a connection and switch towards a more integrative concept of “route,” understood, in the broader sense, as a connection in progress. I this respect, the third and final objective of this symposium will stimulate further reflection on the routes that crisscrossed medieval Africa, and the practices, mobilities, and representations that they created.
