The one-day conference and journal issue focus on the past four decades of industrial disputes and social movements in the UK. The year 2024 is indeed the 40th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Miners’ Strike of 1984-1985. As such, it provides an opportunity to study social protest in the UK since 1984.

The Invention of Traditions in the United Kingdom and the British Empire, 1840-1940
The year 2023 will mark the fortieth anniversary of the publication of The Invention of Tradition, a collective work edited by Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger. Since this publication, the invention of tradition has become a key concept in cultural studies. While the book edited by Hobsbawm and Ranger brings together contributions on the invention of the Scottish kilt tradition, Welsh national culture, scouting, and British monarchical ceremonies, which cover the period from 1840 to 1914, this conference invites us to explore other invented traditions over a longer period, from the 1840s to the 1940s. It will also analyze the reactivation of certain traditions at key moments in history.

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881): His Lives and Afterlives
Celebrating the 220th anniversary of the birth of a Victorian iconoclast
“Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881): His Lives and Afterlives” is the interdisciplinary subject chosen to celebrate the 220th anniversary of the birth of a Victorian iconoclast. The Victorian Conservative Prime Minister is still perceived today as an extraordinary politician who transformed himself, his party and the UK over a long period of time from the 1830’s to his death in 1881. The conference will aim to undercover a number of still unexplored sides of Disraeli and bring him up to date. Both his political and literary talents will be taken into account as well as the long-lasting impact of his heritage (whether mythologised or not).

Founding, selecting, defending: how to make democracy survive (1918-1960)?
Ce colloque international s’inscrit dans le projet de formation-recherche « Quelle démocratie ? La réflexion sur la crise, la modernisation et les limites de la démocratie en Allemagne, en France, en Angleterre et en Europe centrale entre 1919 et 1939 ». Ce projet pluridisciplinaire propose de revenir sur les réflexions autour de la démocratie de l’entre-deux-guerres en s’intéressant particulièrement aux discours critiques et aux projets de réformes issus du camp démocratique au sens large. Sa démarche consiste à insérer ces discours dans leurs contextes historique, idéologique et socio-culturel, tout en s’intéressant également à leur impact sur la vie politique et sociale de l’époque. Dans la logique de ce projet, ce colloque portera sur la question de l’enracinement démocratique, c’est-à-dire sur la question des moyens à mettre en œuvre pour faire survivre une démocratie en milieu (potentiellement) hostile.

Following two different and yet complementary approaches (one from the top down with parties and the other from the bottom up with grassroots organizations), we propose to compare how potential voters have been appealed to, through the use of different strategies and tools of communication”. Whether it be organizations or parties, it will be interesting to analyze how these groups either (re)connect citizens with politics or give birth to social movements which durably occupy the political landscape of the United States and the United Kingdom. Common features may be observed along with distinct approaches particularly adapted to the specificity of each country concerned.

The "Rivers of Blood" speech, 50 years on
The influence of Enoch Powell in British debates about racism and immigration policy (1968-2018)
Ce colloque s'adresse aux spécialistes d'histoire des droites radicales en Europe, aux spécialistes de sciences politiques, de civilisation britannique, de sociologie, d'études urbaines, etc. Il contribuera à une mise en perspective politique et historique de la radicalisation de la droite en Grande-Bretagne (UKIP, BNP, « Brexit ») et, pourquoi pas, au-delà (« White Backlash » aux États-Unis, élection de D. Trump).

Sociability and democratic practices in Great Britain, 1760-1850
Des mouvements populaires associés à la figure de John Wilkes dans les années 1760, aux Chartistes des années 1830 et 1840, un nombre croissant de revendications s'exprime en-dehors des grandes institutions étatiques et ecclésiastiques (cour, Parlement, Église), et souvent contre elles. Dans les années 1780, les partisans de la réforme parlementaire s'unissent en associations de comtés en Angleterre, en sociétés de burgh reform en Écosse.

Society, culture, community in the United Kingdom (1970-79)
This two-day conference focusing on British society of the 1970s seeks to enlarge and to alter perspectives on the period. The intention is to examine the dynamic of contradiction, inventiveness and tensions that is at work. The intention of the conference-organizers is to circumvent and thus question any “teleological” or linear reading of the period in terms of the necessary “coming of Thatcherism” in the United Kingdom, where the politics and culture of the period are read as so many symptoms or omens of the 1979 election result. The aim is to focus on the plurality of conflicting possibilities evident in the period, and therefore on the contingency of outcomes.

Conflict Groups and Disputatio
Intra- and Extra-Academic Lines of Conflict around the Parisian University, c. 1300
Du 10 au 11 décembre 2015, aura lieu l’atelier initial d’un nouveau projet de recherche qui se propose d’étudier la genèse de concepts et pratiques scolastiques de la décision ainsi que leur impact sur les processus de décision à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur de l’université médiévale. L’atelier initial sera centré sur un aspect fondamental de ce champ de recherche. Nous nous pencherons sur les relations entre une pratique universitaire de décision – la disputatio – et les conflits qui marquent le monde extra-universitaire vers 1300. Il s’agira donc d’analyser, à travers l’étude de cette pratique universitaire, l’entrecroisement de différents lignes de conflits qui – comme la confrontation entre Philippe IV et Boniface VIII – ne sont pas nécessairement scientifiques.

This one-day conference aims at exploring the definition(s) and contours of deviance and degeneration as it was conceived in the British Isles and North America in the 19th century. PhD students, postgraduate students and junior scholars whose research pertains to the study of deviant groups, whether self-defined or not, are particularly welcome to participate. Speakers will be invited to focus on the processes of definition of the standards of normality – whether religious, social, political, legal, medicalor sexual – as well as what those processes entailed for those who were labelled ‘deviants’. The role of scientists, doctors but also political authorities is of considerable interest in this respect, as are the ways in which normative standards were circumvented and challenged.

"An Gorta Mór", the Great Irish Famine (1845-1851)
The Great Irish Famine is recognized today as the most significant event inmodern Irish history. From the first appearance of the potato blight in 1845 to its disappearance in 1849 it is estimated that the country lost about a quarter of its population when a million died and a further million emigrated.The Famine, its causes, its demographic and migratory consequences for Ireland and the world and the (in)action of the British government are all topics which have become major political, historiographical and memorial issues. Interpretations have varied and given rise to lengthy debates between those adopting an anti-British nationalist position and others proposing revisionist versions of these events. Since the 1990s, many historians have followed in the footsteps of Cormac O'Grada and Christine Kinealy and have tried, with varying renewed historical approaches, to remove the Great Irish Famine from the grip of this two-sided vision of events.

Labour and Empire in the Age of Decolonisation: the British Experience, 1919-1984
Alors qu’historiens de l’Empire et spécialistes d’histoire ouvrière se sont longtemps ignorés, le moment semble venu d’une « histoire sociale de l’Empire » et donc, pourquoi pas, d’une « histoire sociale de la décolonisation ». Dans l’historiographie de la décolonisation britannique, le monde du travail n’apparaît en effet souvent qu’à l’arrière-plan, les premiers rôles étant réservés aux « grands hommes » – hommes d’État métropolitains et élites indigènes en particulier. C’est ce relatif oubli des masses laborieuses (de leur vécu, de leurs initiatives, de leurs organisations) et du rôle des « sans voix » dans la dissolution de l’Empire britannique que notre journée d’études voudrait contribuer à réparer. La conférence se déroulera le vendredi 8 novembre 2013.

De la fin du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours
L'objectif de cette manifestation scientifique est d'enrichir l'historiographie des relations entre le Royaume-Uni et la France, de la fin du dix-huitième siècle à nos jours, à travers le regard porté par les caricaturistes sur les dirigeants des deux pays. Réagissant tels des sismographes, les caricaturistes rendent bien souvent compte des réactions spontanées de larges pans de l'opinion publique et l''étude de leur œuvre permet sans conteste de mieux mesurer l'état de ces relations, marquées par un mélange d'attraction et de répulsion. Il est attendu que les communications proposées soient également à même de mettre en évidence les ressorts graphiques de la satire britannique et française. -

The Liberal Party in Britain : Past and Present
Le Parti libéral, majoritaire en 1906, devient minoritaire à partir de 1910. Le gouvernement est néanmoins resté aux mains de libéraux, au moins partiellement, jusqu’en 1924. De même, membre de la coalition gouvernementale en 2010, le Parti libéral n’a pas été sans influence sous les gouvernements précédents. L'histoire se répète-t-elle ? Les pistes qui seront explorées sont celles qui permettent d’expliquer pourquoi et à quel moment, le parti libéral a perdu le pouvoir, et, pourquoi et à quel moment, il l’a retrouvé. -
