Crisis and Mobilization since 1789
The aim of this Conference is to consider the historical trajectory of socialism—in all its diverse forms—through crisis and mobilization. We understand crisis in the broadest sense of the word, encompassing not just economic downturns, but also political, social, cultural, and environmental crises as well as war, famine, natural disasters, and other disruptions. Crises vary in scale too, from the global or continental level down to the local. -

Foreign Language Film Conference V
Submissions are invited for the fifth Foreign Language Film Conference, on the theme of Rights and Representations. In this historic setting of the American South, and in conjunction with Birmingham's 50th anniversary remembrance of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing, FLFC celebrates civil and human rights. Scholars will consider the question of civil rights in international cinematic traditions. How does film as an art and a genre represent civil rights, and human rights? What are the places of rebellion, terrorism, or non-violent resistance in forging individual freedoms, and how is this reflected in national cinematic traditions? How do international films address issues of discrimination, violence, repression, the struggle for social equality ? On the pedagogical side of the question, how do films about civil rights teach their viewers about international cultural and political traditions and movements ? How are these films incorporated into classroom discussions of global civil rights ? -

Power, Resistances and Tensions. History of Electric Mobilities, 19th-20th Centuries
L'électricité est aujourd'hui employée pour de nombreuses formes de mobilité et nombreux sont les projets allant dans le sens d'un usage plus massif de cette énergie pour se déplacer. L'appel à communications de ce colloque se propose d'envisager sur le temps long cette relation entre électricité et mobilité, en interrogeant les pratiques et imaginaires d'une énergie qui, si elle a trouvé des applications concrètes dans le domaine des transports, s'est également bien souvent confrontée à des désillusions. Colloque organisé par l'Université Paris I (laboratoire IRICE UMR 8138) et l'Université Paris Diderot (laboratoire ICT EA 337) avec le soutien de l'ISCC-CNRS.
