In the multicultural empires of Central and Eastern Europe, divergences in the paths and rhythms of political, economic, and social modernization engraved in collective imaginaries the idea of a structural delay of these societies compared to the rest of Europe, relegating them to the periphery—or semi-periphery—of the Western world. This discourse justified structural reforms and enabled the rise of social groups interested in and useful for these reforms. This conference aims to examine the experience of Central and Eastern European countries with the modernization process from the late 18th century to the present, beyond the center-periphery dynamics. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/102306722024-03-23T00:11:12-04:002024-03-23T00:11:12-04:00celine.guilleux@openedition.org (Céline Guilleux)Kierkegaard and French LaïcitéThe “Kierkegaard and French Laïcité” Conference hopes to discuss the contemporary issues that come with religious plurality and religious freedom in the private and public spheres. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/102306712024-03-23T00:11:11-04:002024-03-23T00:11:11-04:00sandrine.antoine@inist.fr (Sandrine Antoine)Hartmut Rosa as a sport philosopher?Today, the endless and chronic acceleration seems to constitute a “totalitarian power” that fundamentally alters the nature and the quality of our relationship with the world, with others, with ourselves and with our bodies. If acceleration is set up as the main cause of our alienation (which can take the form of indifference or hostility), the answer would lie less in deceleration than in resonance. This concept describes a specific form of relationship with the world, that is as fulfilling as transformative.

The construction of the Modern State, far from being a top-down vertical process, has consisted of a debate, often tense - if not adverse - between the interests of local communities and the State apparatus or raison d'état. In this way, the aim is to achieve a much more complete knowledge of the construction of the Modern State based on the study of the local sphere.

Transitional justice has become a ubiquitous concept for understanding peacebuilding in the modern world. This conference approaches the early modern period as a particularly productive field for the wider study of peacebuilding and transitional justice. How exactly did post-war societies before the modern age deal with the challenge of peacebuilding? What particular transitional justice strategies did they develop? And how effective were they in achieving peace and reconciliation, either on a local or national level? As such, this conference aims to evaluate how the study of transitional justice can reshape our understanding of the early modern world – not just as a period of incessant conflict, but also a laboratory for peacebuilding efforts. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/100281282024-03-13T07:09:00-04:002024-03-13T07:09:00-04:00minas.ouchaklian@openedition.org (Minas Ouchaklian)Urban societies in medieval Europe The study of medieval urban societies continues to be important and necessary to understand their composition, inequalities and complexity, as well as their role in the construction and experience of urban space.

La visée de cet événement interdisciplinaire sera donc de réunir archéologues, historiens, architectes, artisans, conservateurs, restaurateurs et ethnologues afin qu’ils partagent leurs travaux et recherches sur des pratiques et ouvrages architecturaux présentant un intérêt face aux enjeux environnementaux, sociaux et économiques actuels et à venir. L’objectif est de montrer que l’architecture de demain s’invente aussi au regard du passé, qu’elle soit savante ou vernaculaire, quels qu’en soient les matériaux, la période, la zone géographique ou l’aire culturelle.

The categories of “individual” and “collective” can be useful to shed light on the objects of study in economic methodology and the history of economic thought. Whether it is for policy-design or for scientific claims, can one start from the individual level to deduce policies or scientific claims at the collective level ? Can we explain macro-level phenomena simply by looking at their micro-foundations ? The aim of this workshop will be to analyze how these relations shape economics as a scientific field. We, thus, encourage proposals that aim to interrogate the individual among the collective – as in the micro-foundation of macroeconomics models for instance – and vice versa the collective among the individual – as in the performativity of economic theories to the individual for instance.

While to some, environmental grief gives way to desolation or an irredeemable sense of melancholy, others view it as a form of resilience or even a spur to action, a source of activism in art. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/97563072024-01-24T05:27:02-05:002024-01-24T05:27:02-05:00minas.ouchaklian@openedition.org (Minas Ouchaklian)Conceptualizing Corruption: The “Old Regime” and the New Order in East-Central-South Europe (1750s-1850s)During the age of revolutions, West European politicians, scholars, and popular writers often characterized South-East-Central Europe as a corrupt political space. Notables from the region routinely echoed these claims. Those in and outside of South-East-Central Europe mobilized commentaries on “corruption” for their own political, professional, and personal gains. They used the idea of corruption to assert, for instance, that they knew to run more honest and efficient administrations, military regimes, and commercial operations. The conference organizers welcome paper proposals that employ a (de)constructivist and/or sematic approach to study the concept corruption and its relationship to the rise of (West European) modernity. Submissions should focus on Central-South-East Europe from the 1750s to the 1850s. Applicants working on regional micro-histories that situate changing notions of “corruption” in a transnational context are especially encouraged to apply. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/97550402024-01-23T14:49:52-05:002024-01-23T14:49:52-05:00minas.ouchaklian@openedition.org (Minas Ouchaklian)Knowledge and Know-How Serving the Reactivation of Celtic and Medieval MusicOn the occasion of the 30th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists, to be held from August 28 to 31 in Rome (Italy), a call for papers has been launched for a colloquium on the archaeo-violin making, or how to understand instruments from an archaeological point of view, from the Celts to the Middle Ages. If it is accepted that violin making is defined as the craftsmanship of stringed and necked instruments still used today, we can call “archaeo-violin making” the craftsmanship of musical instruments of the past, the physical traces of which are too fragmentary to be able to work by reproduction, as is the case for instruments kept in collections. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/97543972024-01-23T03:55:49-05:002024-01-23T03:55:49-05:00celine.guilleux@openedition.org (Céline Guilleux)Radicalism, Radicalisation and De-radicalisation in Ireland from 1798 to the Present DayThis study day will bring together established and young researchers to explore the complex and rich history of radicalism, radicalisation and de-radicalisation in Ireland from 1798 to the present day. Radicalism is often perceived as the extreme expression of a political or religious ideology, but it also defines movements committed to substantial reforms. In Ireland, historiography has focused mainly on political radicalism and its various expressions over time. From the United Irishmen’s revolutionary insurrection of 1798 and that of Young Ireland’s in 1848 to the War of Independence and the Civil War, political demands have often been associated with civil rights and parliamentary autonomy, but also with rural agitation for land redistribution. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/97543962024-01-23T03:55:08-05:002024-01-23T03:55:08-05:00celine.guilleux@openedition.org (Céline Guilleux)For an international transdisciplinary chairThis Symposium aims at discussing transdisciplinarity (TD) as an international university chair : 1) TD is beyond and through disciplines, i.e., more than mutltidisciplinarity (many disciplines not interacting) and interdisciplinarity (disciplines in interaction); 2) TD is the dialogue between technoscience (the feedback process between technology and science) and culture (philosophy, tradition, and art); 3) So, TD is the dialectical process between opposites, namely the complementarity principle, which includes disciplinarity vs. TD; 4) This TD approach can be used for concrete problem solving, in public and private organizations, including civil society. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/97476582024-01-18T20:27:08-05:002024-01-18T20:27:08-05:00minas.ouchaklian@openedition.org (Minas Ouchaklian)Public History Summer School (Wrocław)The Historical Institute of the University of Wrocław, Poland (HI UWr), Depot History Centre, the International Federation for Public History, and the Commission for Public History of the Committee of Historical Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences invite students, PhD candidates and practitioners to participate in the seventh Public History Summer School.

More recently, research at the crossroads of sociology, economics and the science and technology studies (STS) developed a new understanding of financialization, centered on how “things are turned into assets” (Birch and Muniesa 2020). Such a perspective provides useful tools for critically examining the start-up economy and emerging business practices related to venture capital funding.

Intimacy is a practice of both historical actors and historians, at once a field of experience and a methodological disposition. The rise of global history has birthed a renewed interest in the intimate as a vector of the situated and the individual in the midst of narratives often concerned with depersonalized processes and networks. The intimate does not displace the global or transnational but views these histories from a different vantage point, exploring their significance in the realm of the everyday and the sphere of meaning-making. The body and the material are its central agents, and intimacy has remained entwined with gender, offering scholars a way of asserting the significance of gendered relations and analyses to narratives and scales that may otherwise skirt their importance. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/90093272023-11-07T04:05:42-05:002023-11-07T04:05:42-05:00celine.guilleux@openedition.org (Céline Guilleux)Fear of Knowledge?For this special issue we invite proposals for essays that reconsider the relationship between art and knowledge.

The inevitability of the relation, in its materialisations as contact, conflict, and integration, highlights the thin lines between acknowledging, understanding, and trespassing boundaries in human relations to each other and to the systems that govern their lives. The idea of encroachment in thinking of the experiences of boundaries in human relations captures the inevitable obsession for trespassing. Regardless of its motivation, trespassing has an impact on the body that is transformative. Therefore, the effects of encroachment pervade the body in its relation to itself and its environment(s).

The webinar intends to address the question of empathy and the aesthetics of language from a cross-disciplinary and cross-methodological perspective, by giving room to both theoretical and empirical approaches and tackling the concept of empathy in all its semantic diversity. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/85071292023-09-14T19:25:38-04:002023-09-14T19:25:38-04:00lucie.choupaut@openedition.org (Lucie Choupaut)The Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) and its Renwick GalleryThe Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) and its Renwick Gallery invite applications to its premier fellowship program, the oldest and largest in the world for the study of American art. Scholars from any discipline who are researching topics that engage the art, craft, and visual culture of the United States are encouraged to apply, as are those who foreground new perspectives, materials, and methodologies. SAAM is devoted to advancing inclusive excellence in the discipline of art history and in higher education more broadly, and therefore encourages candidates who identify as members of historically underrepresented groups to apply. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/85043462023-09-13T15:14:55-04:002023-09-13T15:14:55-04:00lucie.choupaut@openedition.org (Lucie Choupaut)Political Economy of Human Rights Regulation in Latin American Business ActivitiesThe special issue aims to gather contributions from various stakeholders in the field of Human Rights and Business, with a particular emphasis on the Political Economy of human rights regulation in Latin American business activities.

Nous nous focaliserons sur le premier âge moderne comme rupture dans cette histoire longue : l’augmentation du nombre des écrits et des images d’une part, et l’intensité de la circulation d’informations et d’objets de l’autre, permettent de figer davantage, et à une échelle inédite, des manières de voir parfois forgées à des milliers de kilomètres du lieu où le fait est advenu. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/85011472023-09-12T03:58:31-04:002023-09-12T03:58:31-04:00celine.guilleux@openedition.org (Céline Guilleux)Hebrew Manuscripts in the Digital Age (HMDA): Palæography, Edition, CataloguingThe École Pratique des Hautes Études, “the School of Advanced Studies” within Paris Sciences Lettres University, is inviting applications from French and international research students for an online course cluster “Hebrew Manuscripts in the Digital Age: Palaegraphy, Edition, Cataloguing”.

The conference Objects of Law proposes thinking more deeply about the artistic practices that shaped the materiality, iconography, and texts of legal objects in the medieval and early modern period. Objects of Law seeks dialogue between scholars working in art history, history, archaeology, legal history, and related disciplines that deal with legal objects. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/84500912023-09-06T11:34:42-04:002023-09-06T11:34:42-04:00celine.guilleux@openedition.org (Céline Guilleux)A Different Perspective for the Atlantic RoutesAfter more than two years of a preparation that have been careful and laborious, but slowed down and hindered several times by the difficulties that have arisen due to the global pandemic, this project finally gets underway. It intends to go back once more to questioning issues that already count important in-depth studies, like the transoceanic relations between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, but also has the ambition of wanting to integrate the results already obtained with new reflections and achievements, and above all with a different point of view. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/84668792023-09-07T11:16:09-04:002023-09-07T11:16:09-04:00lucie.choupaut@openedition.org (Lucie Choupaut)Migration and the construction of social stratificationsThis call aims to gather papers that investigate migrants’ insertion into European societies drawing inspiration from Bourdieu’s analysis. The 21st IMISCOE (International Migration Research Network) conference has reflexivity as its theme. It is arguable that few other sociological thinkers put the issue of epistemological reflexivity at the centre of their theoretical framework than Bourdieu. This entailed a reflexivity of both the position of the theorist, and connected with this, the concepts that they were using in order to understand and explain the social world. Such a reflexivity would of course also extend to the concepts used by migration scholars. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/84301692023-09-05T08:08:53-04:002023-09-05T08:08:53-04:00lucie.choupaut@openedition.org (Lucie Choupaut)A Space for ‘Place’ in Social SciencesTerritoriality or ‘place’ is a ubiquitous condition of human life. Yet, political, economic and sociological studies of place are rarely labeled as such and the field of study is fragmented across the social sciences. This two-day workshop provides young scholars the space to present and exchange their research on the role of ‘place’ in social sciences. We aim at kickstarting a transdisciplinary discussion by bringing together various perspectives of place-sensitive research. In doing so we help early career researchers to gather experience, inspire each other and build transdisciplinary networks. Additional funding from the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) would increase the inclusivity of the workshop and enrich the collective discussion. Specifically, it would enable us to offer travel scholarships to students from disadvantaged universities, fields, and backgrounds, or with limited funding. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/84301682023-09-05T08:08:52-04:002023-09-05T08:08:52-04:00lucie.choupaut@openedition.org (Lucie Choupaut)Le christianisme aux frontièresLa collection d’études de cas qui a été présentée en 2018 et 2020 dans le cadre du projet DANUBIUS a donné lieu à une série de nouvelles questions historiques et de résultats inattendus.

This collection of essays, entitled ’1715-16 : The Apex of Jacobitism ? Origins, Representations and Legacies’, in honour of the life work of Professor Daniel Szechi aims to re-evaluate the 1715 rising in its broader international context and within the heritage of the long eighteenth century. Contributors who have encountered the Jacobite rising in their respective fields, for example, while studying its industrial, intellectual, and scholarly impact from the Treaty of Union to the present, are invited to propose their contributions. As Jacobitism was a ubiquitous landmark of the eighteenth century, researchers are invited to question the military, political, literary, and/or cultural significance of the rising. The editors are particularly interested in consequential research on the rising through a comparative perspective in the interdisciplinary fields of literature, material culture, and travel or media studies. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/83806542023-08-30T18:45:28-04:002023-08-30T18:45:28-04:00lucie.choupaut@openedition.org (Lucie Choupaut)States and Statelessness in the Post-Ottoman Middle EastThe Annual MUBIT (Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehung in islamischen Traditionen) Workshop in Late- and Post-Ottoman Studies is a two-day workshop in Basel, Switzerland, designed for international doctoral students conducting research on the Near and Middle East.

Is it that from which knowledge proceeds or that which anticipates knowledge? Is image something only able to be recognised as object of thinking or it shows per se, in its polysemy and equivocal constitution, a deep, still unexplored generative form of thinking? From the point of view of the understanding of the digital age, where we entered in, to a strong consideration of the new frontiers of science, knowledge, and philosophy and from here up to societal and cultural dimensions, the thinking of the image still remain an enigma.The aim of the international conference is, perhaps for the first time, to study and to explore in a genuine interdisciplinary approach the multiversal horizon of human imagery and, in particular its constructive, generative capacity of building a world-meaning. tag:tagteam.harvard.edu,2005:FeedItem/83714222023-08-29T18:26:56-04:002023-08-29T18:26:56-04:00hugo.lepage@openedition.org (Hugo Lepage)Computing The HumanThe aim of this conference is to open a discussion on the topic of “computing the human.” It is intended as a “melting pot” for interdisciplinary debate reflecting the complexity of the issues : cultural history of computing, human-computer interaction (HCI), and emotion programming, all framed by the ethos of diversity and inclusion in computing and artificial intelligence. Contributions are welcomed that focus on the ideas, analyses, and technologies that materialize the visions in various time-spaces, including laboratories, artistic performances and exhibitions, archives, digital spaces, the imagination of more-than-human worlds, artificial bodies and computed emotions, ethical dilemmas and statements, and regulations.
