Alors que 2019 célèbre les cinquante ans des émeutes de Stonewall aux États-Unis, l'histoire du mouvement lesbien, homosexuels et trans français reste encore à explorer plus systématiquement. C'est dans cette perspective qu'un colloque se tiendra à Lausanne en octobre 2019, consacré aux mouvements lesbiens, homosexuels et trans en France, dans les années 1970-1980.

We are interested in papers who are willing to explore the relationship between collective / collected memories and social movements in the modern period from the 18th century to the present day. We are hoping to bring into productive dialogue two fields of studies that are just beginning to explore possible synergies between them.

The night, starting after dusk and progressing into the dark and early hours, has always and almost universally, across cultures and societies, represented a special, ‘liminal’ or ‘out of the ordinary’ temporal zone with its own meanings, possibilities and dangers, having specific political, cultural, religious and social implications. It is only since the modern era that the night has become increasingly ‘normalised’, disenchanted and colonised, for example in terms of production processes and services extending into the night.

Ce colloque, invitant à penser les liens entre migrations internationales et mobilités sociales, voudrait faire émerger un ensemble de travaux réactualisant la question des mobilités sociales en migration. Il vise à interroger, du point de vue des dynamiques de mobilités sociales, la multiplicité des positionnements sociaux des migrants d’une société à une autre.

The last few years have been marked by major economic, social and political turbulences. They have been years full of hope, but also full of threats. Years when the range of the possible has expanded. Years when we have seen innumerable injustices within a growing polarisation. In the face of an unprecedented crisis of civilisation, political and social activism has flourished anew, in parallel with the renaissance of reactionary forces and movements.

International Conference

CALL FOR PAPERS

Organizers:
Russian State Archive of Social and Political History (Moscow)

The aim of this conference will be to analyse the characteristics of 19th-century French industrialisation and to understand how they distinguish France from other countries that went through the same process in the same era. Instead of using the English case as the only reference (as is customary), particular attention will be paid to a comparison between France and other continental European countries, especially Germany.

From its beginning the Soviet Union was a project of substantial reshaping of gender relations. A central goal of Soviet politics was to encourage women to undertake paid work. In transferring practically all economic and social power to the state, customary gender roles of men as breadwinners and patriarchs were challenged. Starting with war communism through forced industrialization and collectivization to compulsory military service, socialist workers and peasants were tied to the modern disciplinary power as never before.

Pour la septième année consécutive, les Reclusiennes proposent un festival de la pensée mêlant habitants, chercheurs, responsables et acteurs associatifs dans un esprit d’animation culturelle, d’éducation populaire et artistique. Ce festival est placé sous l’égide d’Elisée Reclus, géographe, écrivain et anarchiste du XIXe siècle né à Sainte-Foy-la-Grande.

Can Smart City applications, 3D displays, tweets, or software be considered as documents? Is the concept of ‘‘document’’ still valid in a structurally unstable digital context that is continuously changing? Such questions emerge naturally when we consider the born-digital objects which are thriving today in a great variety of forms. Behind the term “born-digital”, we here refer to any entity, produced using digital technology and perceived by our senses (of sight, hearing or touch). C.
