    Drinking in the Nordic and Germanic Countries

    Vice & Virtue Project

    As the first part of the international, multi-annual “Vice & Vertu” project, the aim of the “Drinking in the Nordic and Germanic countries” conference is to examine past and present practices of “drinking” and to explore the normative issues involved, from the medieval period to the present day. “Vice et Vertu” (V&V) is a multi-year international research programme supported by the Universities of the Sorbonne, Caen, Turku/TIAS, Umeå and Oslo. The V&V project also aims to integrate young and up-and-coming researchers into Northern European and Francophone research networks through seminars, workshops and colloquia organised at partner universities in France and Northern Europe.

    Decolonizing Museum Cultures and Collections: Mapping Theory and Practice in East-Central Europe

    International conference for heritage scholars and practitioners

    This conference brings together curators, artists, scholars, and other intellectuals and cultural activists working on East-Central European heritage, to reflect on how the main trends of decolonial debate are intersecting in practical and theoretical terms with the heritage sector, with a particular focus on museums in the region. The conference will place special emphasis on mapping both the range of colonial histories embedded in, as well as decolonial approaches to, museum collections and practices in East-Central Europe.

    Transnational dimensions of dealing with the past in ‘Third Wave’ democracies

    Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the Former Soviet Union in Global Perspective

    This conference aims to fill the gap by looking at how post-dictatorial justice and memory experiences in Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union after the “third wave of democratization” have reciprocally affected each other. It also seeks to unpack how memorialization practices in these regions were shaped by and influenced in turn criminalization discourses in other geographical contexts (Latin America, Asia, Africa). The conference focuses on transnational activism, transfers of knowledge, and expertise at bilateral, regional or international levels, the impact of legal and mnemonic narratives outside their countries of origin, and the role of international organizations and NGO's in dealing with mass violence. The conference aims thus to trace the mutlidirectional circulation of ideas, norms and models of reckoning with authoritarian regimes both within these regions, and between them and other areas of the world.

    Hungarian cinema, fin de siècle? Histories, sociologies, aesthetics

    Le cinéma des années 1960-1980 en Hongrie a fait l'objet de nombreux travaux de recherche sociologiques et historiques. Les deux décennies suivantes ont été moins étudiées, ce que la sensation de rupture provoquée par la chute de l’empire soviétique explique en partie. La journée d'études « Cinéma hongrois, fin de siècle ? Histoires, sociologies, esthétiques (première session : 1980-2000) » vise à dépasser l’idée d’un changement radical et à étudier la manière dont les cinéastes ont anticipé puis accueilli le tournant historique de 1989. Une large place sera donc accordée aux approches sociologiques et historiques de l’art, afin de cerner les modalités du passage des années 1980 aux années 1990. Parallèlement, il s’agira de déterminer ce que l’atmosphère de « fin des temps » et de «  fin de l’histoire » qui caractérise cette période a engendré comme mutations et inventions esthétiques.

    Acts of justice, public events: World War II criminals on trial

    The conference suggests approaching trials of war crimes and of crimes against humanity, which took place in the aftermath of World War II and its following decades, as specific social events. By including professional and social actors (magistrates and police force, whistle-blowers, witnesses, defendants...) who got involved and shaped audiences of such trials, the conference endeavours to question the notion of publicization. It will cross this perspective with a study of the part played by the media supports in the organization and in the public reception of these trials.

    The making of cultural policies

    Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization

    This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.

    Identity and Slavic cultural representations

    L’un des objectifs du Centre européen d'études slaves est de promouvoir la dynamique scientifique dans un domaine à première vue discret et de favoriser davantage les échanges intellectuels interdisciplinaires et multilingues en réunissant tous les segments de la recherche de l’univers slave afin de créer une sorte de portail européen électronique et numérisé. En tenant compte de nos visées, il nous a paru judicieux de consacrer notre première rencontre à un sujet susceptible de porter un regard croisé sur l'identité et les représentations culturelles du monde slave.
