  De-centering the history of international and transnational organisations: archives, methods, and new perspectives

  This workshop seeks to explore how different methodological approaches to international and transnational organisations can bring new histories into view. Rather than approaching international and transnational organisations from a strictly institutional point of view, we, instead, wonder how these organisations and their archives can become the basis for telling other, local, regional or international, stories that shift the focus to the broader context in which these organisations operated. By going beyond the institutional histories the workshop probes to re-evaluate the historiographical position of these organisations, while maintaining a clear view of the historian’s placement, challenges and limits.

  Source, poison ou accident : comprendre le document dans les sciences historiques

  « Il faut toujours citer ses sources » : cette injonction résonne pour tout étudiant comme une maxime l’invitant à se référer toujours à l’autorité lui permettant d’affirmer un fait ou une idée. Souvent associée au document textuel, la source est un concept particulièrement prégnant dans les sciences historiques et considérée comme le moyen d’accès par excellence à la connaissance du passé. Pourtant, l’autorité des sources ne peut être construite que par l’élimination de ce qui est jugé invalide. En cohérence avec les travaux du Centre Jean Mabillon (EA 3624) menés dans la tradition initiée par les bénédictins de Saint-Maur et représentée entre autres par l’École nationale des chartes, l’objectif de notre journée d’étude est d’aborder les sources comme objet à part entière et d’étudier leur appropriation pour la recherche dans les sciences historiques.

  The Afterlives of Revolutions

  A Special Issue of “Práticas da História”

  Political and social revolutions are events frequently studied by the discipline of History. However, contributions by historians to the study of the posthumous lives of these events are rarer. This call aims to elicit proposals for articles and essays that focus on the memorialistic trajectories of revolutions. Case studies, historical comparisons, or theory-based approaches may be proposed. The journal Práticas da História also encourages the submission of proposals for articles and essays that focus on how political discourse, commemorative politics, and historical staging have dealt and are dealing with past revolutions, as well as the discussion of issues such as the mobilization of examples, icons, or concepts of past revolutions by revolutionary action. The problem of the inscription (or not) of revolutions in the organics of the regimes that succeed them or, finally, the identification of the beginning/end of a revolution, may also be addressed.

  Memory and identity in the English-speaking world since 1945 : transdisciplinary perspectives on the margins and the mainstream

  The aim of this Study day is to examine the dynamics, interactions and tensions between the polysemic notions of margin and mainstream in post-1945 English-speaking areas. More specifically, we will examine the modalities and dynamics of exchange and movement from one category to the other, as well as the way in which they take on their meaning in varied and variable political, media, sociological and cultural contexts. Proposals may thus highlight thematic issues in relation to the phenomena studied, such as marginalised or militant histories, critical or methodological thoughts about mediation mechanisms, conceptualisation issues or personal and collective positioning.

  Reimagining Annotation for Multimodal Cultural Heritage

  Reimagining Annotation for Multimodal Cultural Heritage is an international conference that will be held in Rennes, France from 7th-9th February 2024. The conference looks to explore questions around digital annotation in the humanities and the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) across three primary axes: tools, methods and projects. We seek to discover the extent of digital tools for the navigation of multimodal document networks, the creation of data-driven interfaces and the implementation of close and / or distant reading techniques; the epistemological questions that these tools allow to emerge and how research in the humanities is changing; and projects that make use of these tools.

  La valeur des vivants dans l’Occident médiéval (Ve-XVe siècle)

  In the framework of a study day, we propose to reflect on the values accorded to living beings (humans and animals) in the medieval West from the 5th to the 15th century. They are characterised by their market, utilitarian and symbolic value. In addition to this, there are the considerations and knowledge that medieval people had of their fellow human beings and their environment (fauna and trees). Finally, the event proposes to look at these questions in the context of reflections on medievalism. As the issues are diverse, we are making the whole range of humanities and social sciences disciplines.

  The Armenian Genocide: New Interpretations and Cross-Disciplinary Conversations

  The study of the Armenian genocide often remains confined to restricted circles of specialists and interdisciplinarity is too rarely promoted. And, although comparative research is praised, it is frequently reduced to the juxtaposition of case studies. Research on the Armenian genocide is now ready to address more cross-cutting issues and to fully contribute to broader discussions on mass violence. Therefore, this conference asks: how can the social sciences, memory studies, and genocide studies contribute to a broader understanding of the Armenian genocide and its aftermath? And reciprocally: what is the contribution of research on the Armenian genocide to our understanding of mass crimes and to the social sciences?

  Global Series: TV and the Political Imagination

  This collective volume seeks to explore the vast potential of TV series and their role in shaping our moral and political perspectives on the world. Global Series: TV and the Political Imagination is part of the ERC Demoseries project, hosted by Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and responds to Sandra Laugier’s call for taking TV series seriously as “a new form of education…[that is] both political and moral” (Laugier 2022). TV series have the capacity to reflect complex social and political realities and can serve as shared representations of moral reasoning and values, prompting viewers to engage in ethical reflection and philosophical inquiry. By examining a diverse range of TV series from across the globe, the volume aims to highlight their power to act as common reference points in shaping public discourse and conversation.

  Extreme bodies

  « Perspective » n° 2024-2

  The journal Perspective : actualité en histoire de l'art will explore, in its 2024 – 2 issue, the thematic “extreme bodies”. Our aim is to shed light on the ways images participate in the creation of the body, the spread of a standard and the constraints applied to that body in order to achieve the standard, but also the ways images sometimes serve to subvert them. It is thus in terms of the standardised body, considered more as a model or goal to be attained than as the aurea mediocritas (Horace, Odes, II, X, 5), the incarnation of the middle ground remote from excesses, that we would like to address questions related to extreme bodies.

  Travail des algorithmes. Sociologie des délégations techniques

  Revue « Socio »

  Les algorithmes sont désormais omniprésents dans les pratiques humaines les plus diverses, impliquant des programmes (informatiques le plus souvent, mais pas exclusivement) d’instructions déléguées à des entités artificielles. Pourtant la question de ce que les algorithmes font au travail est plus rarement appréhendée de manière directe. Sans s’y réduire, le dossier privilégiera trois axes complémentaires d’analyse : d’abord, les conséquences des algorithmes sur le travail ; ensuite, les conséquences de la délégation technique dans l’organisation des activités salariées (hiérarchie, modes de contrôle du travail, décision, etc.) ; enfin, les modalités politiques de la place croissante des algorithmes dans le travail.

  Drawing from Memories

  The memorization of space, explored individually or collectively, is often studied through drawings. The act of drawing is an externalization process that involves cognitive and heuristic aspects of the mental map. More generally, it requires specific thinking skills and creativity. Everyone, to varying degrees, is likely to use drawings, not only for the purpose of recollection, but also for exploration and communication. Spatial cognition and geography have long used this simple process which is widely shared and easy to set up. If individual memorization processes are investigated in numerous studies, only few of them focused on the processes and strategies that underlie the act of drawing, especially with several people.

  Représentation de l’environnement naturel

  Pour une écocritique des littératures et arts africains postcoloniaux

  Le monde contemporain traverse une crise écologique qui se manifeste par les phénomènes tels que le réchauffement climatique, les catastrophes naturelles, l’augmentation du niveau de la mer, etc. En investissant cette problématique dans le contexte africain, la présente journée d'étude se propose d’interroger, la pensée écologique sous le prisme d’un comparatisme entre littératures et arts africains. Il s’agit de voir comment « l’imagerie se transforme en imaginaire » (Mirella Vadean et Sylvain David, 2014, p. 38) et permet l’investissement « du pouvoir créatif et poétique nécessaire au surpassement de l’inquiétude » (Mirella Vadean et Sylvain David, 2014, p. 40).

  In the notebooks of a scholar travelling in Ethiopia

  Transcribing and editing the notebooks of Antoine d’Abbadie (mid-19th century)

  During the decade of 1840, a French scientist, Antoine d'Abbadie, traveled to the Horn of Africa. Self-funded, he made numerous scientific observations that he recorded in some twenty notebooks. The MSS-Abbadie project, part of the BnF's four-year research program (2020-23), has been working to make this profusion of notes accessible by digitizing the originals, depositing them on Gallica, describing the manuscripts, and offering them for collaborative transcription on the Transcrire platform. This call for participation invites the contributors who took part in this crowdsourcing adventure to return some of the knowledge acquired during this transcription work, as well as to testify about it and the working methods that were experienced. It remains wide open to researchers from outside the project who can provide a fresh look at both the historical context and the new approaches currently being applied to this type of corpus and situations.

  Les lieux de l’histoire : prisme local et échelles d’observation à l’époque moderne

  À l’heure où l’histoire globale jouit d’une forte visibilité universitaire et médiatique, ce colloque de l’Association des historiens modernistes des universités françaises (AHMUF) entend interroger la place du local dans les travaux récents des historiens, indépendamment de l’aire géographique et du champ disciplinaire qui les occupent. Une réflexion sur la traduction et la projection spatiales des phénomènes et sur les notions de « lieu », d’« espace » et de « territoire » pourra apporter des éléments de discussion féconds.

  Les paysages ruraux

  Perception, représentation, patrimonialisation

  À l’image de la polysémie du paysage, la trilogie des journées d’étude sur les paysages ruraux a été conçue pour rassembler des chercheurs de différents champs : historiens, géographes, historiens de la littérature, linguistes, archéologues, juristes, dans une démarche transdisciplinaire. Les premières journées ont eu pour thème «l’utilisation du sol », les deuxièmes « l’organisation de l’espace ». En maintenant la volonté de transdisciplinarité et « trans-chronie » nous proposons la troisième et dernière rencontre : perception, représentation, patrimonialisation. Nous réfléchirons sur la dimension cognitive, symbolique et culturelle des paysages ruraux ainsi que sur les questions patrimoniales qui y sont associées.

  Le sens culturel des choses

  Le défi renouvelé d’une humanité qui s’interroge, interroge et évalue les marqueurs de l’univers semble fonder la nécessité d’une prise d’altitude pour transcender les limites du naturel. Ainsi, la conscience d’un vernis, qui densifie la surface des acquis de l’humain, devient un enjeu majeur et d’un enjeu audacieux pour le sujet aussi bien dans sa dimension individualiste que dans son approche collectiviste. Dès lors, se dessinent, en filigrane, les reliefs saillants de la notion de « culture » dont la résonance référentielle est tout à la fois proche et lointaine, saisissable et labile, unitaire et diffractée, singulière et plurielle, interdisciplinaire et métadisciplinaire, dé-brouillée et em-brouillée...
