As Inquisições Ibéricas: fontes e desafios
Curso de verão
As Inquisições Ibéricas sempre despertaram o interesse. Quer tenha sido nos autores que com elas coexistiram, quer na literatura, quer na historiografia, as Inquisições ibéricas marcaram indelevelmente os quotidianos das sociedades ibéricas e dos respectivos espaços do império. O Curso de Verão "As Inquisições Ibéricas: Fontes e Desafios" pretende refletir acerca da importância dos tribunais inquisitoriais nas sociedades do seu tempo e compreender as potencialidades do uso da documentação por eles produzida para o estudo dos atores sociais e de fenómenos que, em muitos casos, podem ser analisados de forma conectada. O curso reúne um conjunto alargado de especialistas nos estudos inquisitoriais, cujas intervenções demonstrarão as possibilidades do uso das fontes inquisitoriais. Dar-se-á atenção à necessidade de esta documentação ser usada muito além do estudo isolado das Inquisições, percebendo as suas articulações, enraizamentos locais e impacto em sociedades espalhadas pelo mundo.

Summer School - Ethnology, anthropology
EHESS Summer School 2023
By crossing different disciplinary, thematic and cultural approaches, the aim is to endeavor to map violence, to study practices, situations, experiences of violence and their arrangement in topographic, social and mental spaces. The objective is to favour the dialogue between different perspectives of research on violence and more particularly on extreme violence. Be it political violence, state violence, wars, guerrilla wars, revolutions, oppression, massacres, and domestic violence, since it is often -in these contexts- amplified, will also be broached. How are we to observe, define and analyse these violent phenomena? What are the methodological, epistemological and ethical questions specific to these particularly sensitive and fluid objects?

Quellen der Architektur- und Metropolengeschichte in Kriegszeiten
Berlin, Paris und weitere europäische Hauptstädte (1939-1945)
Ausgehend von der Feststellung, dass die Architektur- und Stadtplanungsgeschichte der Metropolen im Zeitraum 1939-1945 noch wenig erforscht sind, bietet diese deutsch-französische Sommerschule eine kollektive Diskussion über die Forschungsquellen und den Austausch zwischen den Hauptstädten während des Zweiten Weltkrieges und der militärischen Besetzung an.

Whose Global History? Perspectives from the Global South and Beyond
This online Summer School seeks to question what Global History is primarily about, who it is written by, and who it is written for. By questioning the epistemic inequalities and exclusionary processes that shape the field, and considering actors, conceptual tools and historical positions that originate from different parts of the world, we aim to outline a global history that is meaningfully shaped by perspectives from the Global South.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Climate and Biodiversity Crises
Historical evolutions, current realities, and future pathways for socio-ecological transformation
Over the past centuries, the industrialisation of Western societies gradually impacted nature, and environmental problems increased with globalisation during the last decades. As a consequence, we are now experiencing major crises which are linked with each other: biodiversity is disappearing faster and faster, and global warming is escalating, not only causing unprecedented damage to the Earth, but also unequally and unfairly affecting different parts of the world. In this context, our summer school proposes to bring together an interdisciplinary range of researchers interested in the various implications and interconnections of the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis.

Séminaire de formation doctorale - Deuxième édition du cycle Les Balkans. Espaces, sociétés, histoire
Ce séminaire propose, en lien avec le terrain grec, de réfléchir à l’articulation entre religion et politique et à la place du religieux dans l’espace public. Située à l’interface entre l’espace post-soviétique et la Méditerranée orientale, la Grèce d’aujourd’hui constitue un terrain d’observation particulièrement riche dans lequel les configurations observées à l’échelle locale s’articulent avec des enjeux politiques et géopolitiques. L’objectif du séminaire sera en particulier de montrer l’importance de l’observation du contemporain pour construire des outils d’interprétation valables pour les périodes plus anciennes.

Rule of Law and Human Rights in Europe and the World in Times of Contestation
The last two decades have seen the emergence of numerous sites of resistance to the EU. The Greek opposition to austerity measures, the massive and EU-wide contestation of Covid-prevention measures, the gilets jaunes protest, not to mention the 2016 British referendum, are just a few examples of the increasing contestation of the EU integration, of - some of - its policies, and of their - perceived - impact on citizens’ rights. The Summer school lectures will take seriously the different expressions of contestation the European Union is facing. Contestation will be broadly defined, as the social practice of merely objecting to norms by rejecting them or by refusing to implement them. It is also a mode of critique through critical engagement in a discourse about these principles, rules, and values. The Summer School will thus address different but related topics. It will first ask what is the object of contestation: what the EU does or what the EU is? Is there enough space, in EU law, to institutionalize contestation?

Enlightenment legacy: the rights of man in a global perspective
Postgraduate summer school of the Turin Humanities Programm
The Summer School will focus on the political and constitutional language of the rights of man, seen as the most lasting legacy of the cultural revolution through which the Enlightenment changed the course of global history, acting as a “laboratory of modernity”. It will engage with the Enlightenment’s transformation of the old moral concept of natural rights into the modern political language of the “rights of man” and the ambitious Enlightenment project of bringing about the constitutionalization of the rights of man as part of a modern politics of emancipation that began well ahead of the French Revolution. Moreover, the Summer School will explore the controversial affirmation and metamorphoses of the Enlightenment’s culture of the rights of man in a global context throughout the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries. By so doing, it aims at shedding light on the Enlightenment’s relevance to deal with issues raised by the contemporary evolutions of global constitutionalism and governance, that still require to be addressed.

Nommer, être nommé·e, se nommer : enfance, genre, identité et pouvoir
Cette école thématique vise à favoriser, au croisement de plusieurs disciplines (histoire, anthropologie, sociologie, science politique, démographie, linguistique), la prise en compte des enjeux de la dénomination. Elle permettra de confronter les approches et de définir un contenu commun de concepts et de connaissances pour irriguer des thématiques de recherche très variées qui touchent aux objets étudiés dans cette formation. Ainsi pourront se développer dans de nombreux champs, des études intégrant pleinement les enjeux de nommer, se nommer, se renommer jusque-là trop minorés ou marginalisés.

What is european history in the 21st century?
Summer school in global and transnational history
In the nearly half century since the EUI History Department was established, the contours of European history have shifted away from nation-based or comparative approaches. The department now defines itself a center for the study of transnational, global and comparative history. All of these approaches are implicitly about creating a new history of Europe, but how are they accomplishing this goal? What is the outlook for the future of this project? This summer school is devoted to asking, “What is European History in the 21st Century?” As historians call for the decolonization of history, and, simultaneously, face the historical distortions encouraged by resurgent populist nationalisms, reflection on the possibilities and problems of European history have never seemed more urgent.

Introduction à la problématisation de l’après Shoah
Université d’été - ARES 2022
Choisir l’entrée « Introduction à la problématisation de l’après Shoah » pour l’université d’été de 2022 c’est d’emblée admettre que la Shoah est une césure pour ne pas dire une déchirure dans le comptage du temps dans l’Occident voire dans le monde. Plusieurs choix se présentent alors à nous soit chronologiquement soit thématiquement. Notre objectif est à plus long terme en voulant cibler une large période allant de 1944 à nos jours, de la Libération à nos incertitudes actuelles. Notre questionnement volontairement multidisciplinaire concerne plusieurs pistes de réflexions mêlant chronologie et thèmes.
