Colloque Jeunes chercheurs « Le concert des nations » : transferts culturels et transferts génériques (1648-1815)

Colloque Jeunes chercheurs Nantes 2016

Ce colloque Jeunes Chercheurs de la Société Française d’Etudes du XVIIIe siècle (SFEDS) et de la Société d’études anglo-américaines XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles (SEAA XVII-XVIII) est organisé en collaboration avec le Centre de Recherche sur les Identités Nationales et l’Interculturalité (CRINI) et le laboratoire l’Antique, le Moderne (L’AMO) de l’Université de Nantes. Ces rencontres visent à donner l’occasion aux jeunes chercheurs de se rencontrer pour présenter et échanger sur leurs travaux, entre eux et avec des chercheurs confirmés, dans une ambiance conviviale et interdisciplinaire.

Des traités de Westphalie (1648) qui mirent fin à la Guerre de Trente ans et fondèrent un nouvel ordre européen, au Congrès de Vienne (1815) qui réorganisa l’Europe après la chute de Napoléon, les relations internationales furent le sujet d’innombrables interrogations politiques. Sous le nom de « concert des nations », expression qui désigne depuis un siècle les relations internationales qui ne sont pas fondées sur le recours à la force, c’est le versant artistique, littéraire et historique de ces mutations que nous voudrions examiner dans ce colloque ouvert à tous dont les communicants seront en priorité les jeunes chercheurs.

CFP: Fifth Summer Academy of Atlantic History: “Connecting and Globalizing the Atlantic” Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Seville, Spain 28 September – 1 October 2017

In the past few years, historians of the Atlantic World have increasingly turned their interest toward North and South Atlantic relations and connections between Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Pacific Worlds. Atlantic History has turned global – to some extent at least.

For the fifth Summer Academy of Atlantic History we invite applications from PhD students working on the history of the Atlantic World between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries. While all projects pertaining to Atlantic History will be considered, we are particularly interested in applications on North and South Atlantic relations and comparisons and on Atlantic-Pacific connections.

 

https://networks.h-net.org/node/5293/discussions/141269/cfp-fifth-european-congress-world-and-global-history-ruptures?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

The fifth Summer Academy will be hosted by Prof Bartolomé Yun Casalilla of the Universidad Pablo de Olavide, Seville, Spain, PI of the Project “American Globalization” (HAR2014-53797-P). Born in Lima in 1740, Pablo de Olavide is a prominent figure of what we might want to dub the Atlantic Enlightenment.

As well as providing the selected students with an opportunity to present papers and engage in discussion with tutors and their fellow students on their research, the Summer Academy will also host keynote speakers who will address broad themes appertaining to Atlantic History.

Prospective student participants should send a CV and a summary (3-4 pages altogether) of their research projects to susanne.lachenicht@uni-bayreuth.de by 30 September 2016. Successful applicants will be notified by 31 October 2016.

CFP: Fifth European Congress on World and Global History “Ruptures, Empires, Revolutions” (Budapest, 29 August – 2 September 2017)

https://networks.h-net.org/node/5293/discussions/141269/cfp-fifth-european-congress-world-and-global-history-rup

Under the congress’s general theme “Ruptures, Empires, Revolutions” and on the occasion of the centennial of the Russian Revolution, we seek to discuss the global context and repercussions of the revolution in particular while debating the role of revolutions in global history in general. In recent global history scholarship, the relationship between empire and revolution has been less explored than many other topics that became “globalised” over the past two decades. Furthermore, revolutionary upheavals have mostly been interpreted as caesuras in national histories and much less as being situated in global dynamics. Considering still influential narratives that give revolutions its rank primarily within national histories of nation building and social transformation, we encourage such views to be challenged through a comparative and global perspective on empires and imperial societies as well as on their revolutionary crisis. The chosen focus also has the potential to place centre stage as well as compare and explore the interconnectedness of uneven social and political change around the world, including both colonial as well as post-colonial settings. The congress will take place from 29 August – 2 September 2017 in Budapest.

Since the congress will be organised in panels of two or two and a half hours length, the steering committee of ENIUGH will choose paper proposals with a particular focus on their capacity to allow for fruitful discussions among the panelists.

We specifically look for paper proposals that complement and fill slots in already existing panels while also expanding the intellectual range of the conference’s programme. We particularly welcome proposals addressing the following topics:

  • Pre-1500 cross-cultural developments, ruptures and changes
  • Wars, violent transformation, and radical interventions in the distribution of ownership, in their connections to new orders
  • Comparative military history and the destructive effects of international and global connectivity
  • Connected histories of the South-East Europe
  • Revolution and empire in conceptualisations and methodologies of world and global history, for both teaching and research
  • Revolutions and the reordering of spatial configurations from the late 18th to the beginning of the 21st century
  • Connected histories of the Eastern Mediterranean and Arab world at large
  • Gendered perspectives on the theme of the conference
  • Internal peripheries between imperial arrangements and global markets
  • Colonial agricultural policies, African farmers and the development of the cooperative movement in Ghana and Sierra Leone (1920s-1950s)

This is only a selection of topics for papers presented at the congress. We are very much welcoming topics beyond this list as well.

Proposals: In addition to providing a name, affiliation and email, the proposal should include the title of the paper and an abstract (100 words).

Submission: All proposals must be received by 15 November 2016 and submitted electronically through the congress website: http://research.uni-leipzig.de/~eniugh/congress/call-for-panels-submission/

Exposition virtuelle : L’Etat de l’Irlande 1640-1830

Dans les quelque neuf cents ouvrages en anglais du Service du Livre ancien de l’Université de Poitiers, cent soixante-deux traitent de l’Irlande. Ils ont été publiés entre 1643 et 1800. Une cinquantaine de ces ouvrages ont été sélectionnés pour l’exposition « L’état de l’Irlande 1640-1830 ». Ils traitent de sujets touchant à la politique économique et à l’économie politique et abordent des sujets variés, qui vont des décisions régulant l’imposition et la taxation au moment de la guerre civile en Angleterre entre parlementaires et royalistes (1643) à un traité sur les considérations sur l’état de l’Irlande au moment de l’incorporation politique (1801).

Appel à contributions :

Si la Glorieuse révolution en Angleterre (1688) inaugure de nouveau rapports entre la monarchie et le parlement anglais, et les victoires militaires et parlementaires qui suivirent mirent fin à tout espoir de retour au statut quo ante et à la possibilité de maintenir une pluralité religieuse, se soldant par l’avènement du « Royaume-Uni » (1707), les événements dans les îles britanniques à la fin du XVIIe siècle furent suivis au-delà des mers : en Europe chez les rivaux continentaux du Royaume anglais et en Amérique du nord, dans les jeunes colonies.

Les perspectives européennes et transatlantiques de la Glorieuse révolution contribuent à élargir les horizons de cet événement qui a souvent été interprété comme une affaire interne à la scène politique anglaise. Les approches de l’histoire « globale » ont changé les perspectives. Des faits contributoires et des conséquences multiples sont à chercher sur la scène internationale. Dans les domaines de l’histoire des idées politiques et philosophiques, de la circulation d’idées, de l’histoire de l’empire britannique, et des rapports économiques et sociaux, les changements qui interviennent à la fin du XVIIe siècle et au début du XVIIIe siècle annoncent une nouvelle ère globale.

Des contributions qui utiliseront les auteurs, ouvrages et/ou archives du Fonds Dubois (dont une collection d’ouvrages rares d’histoire politique et économique anglais de 1600 à 1830) et du Fonds d’Argenson (dont la famille fournit conseillers, ambassadeurs et ministres d’état au XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles) déposés à l’Université de Poitiers seraient appréciables.

1688, The Glorious Revolution: continental and transatlantic perspectives

6th Day Conference Patrimoine Fonds Dubois, Fonds ancien SCD Poitiers, MSHS Poitiers

7th April 2016

Call for papers :

If the Glorious Revolution in England (1688) launched a new balance of power between the monarchy and the English Parliament, the military and  parliamentary successes which followed ended any hope of a return to the status quo ante, as well as the possibility of maintaining religious diversity, resulting in the advent of the United Kingdom (1707), the events in the British Isles at the end of the 17th century were followed overseas : in Europe by the English kingdoms rivals, and in North America’s young colonies.

European and transatlantic perspectives on the Glorious Revolution enlarge the horizons of this phenomenon which has often been interpreted as an purely internal English political affair. Global history approaches have changed this outlook. Multiple causes and consequences are to be sought on the international scene. The changes which intervened at the end of the 17th century and beginning of the 18th century are now seen in the fields of politics, history and circulation of ideas, colonial history, economic and social history, as announcing a new global era.

Contributions which include the authors, works and/or archives in the Dubois Rare Books Collection (including rare books in English on political science and economics 1600-1830) and the Argenson Collection (whose family provided counsellors, ambassadors, ministers in 17th and 18th century France) held the University of Poitiers Library would be appreciated.

Cfp: Copyright and the Circulation of Knowledge: Industry Practices and Public Interests in Great Britain from the 18th Century to the Present

Appel à Contributions:

 Copyright and the Circulation of Knowledge:

Industry Practices and Public Interests in Great Britain from the 18th Century to the Present

http://www.univ-paris3.fr/copyright-and-the-circulation-of-knowledge-358583.kjsp

New combinations of technology, culture, and business practice are transforming relationships among authors, publishers, and audiences in many fields of knowledge, including journalism, science research, and academia. Self-publishing, open-access, open source, creative commons, crowd sourcing and copy left: these are a few of the key words associated with recent changes in how knowledge is produced and circulated. While being celebrated for their potential to democratize knowledge, many of these changes have been accompanied by heated debates on such questions as the appropriate role of experts and ‘gatekeepers’; how to ensure that such projects are both trustworthy and economically viable; and how best to balance the interests of authors, publishers, and the general public. Copyright is often at the centre of these discussions.

Though the technologies involved have changed dramatically since the eighteenth century, similar questions were debated in the decades following the first British copyright statute (1710). Indeed, today’s discussions of piracy and copyright sometimes echo the eighteenth-century ‘battle of the booksellers’ that pitted advocates of a limited-term copyright (and the creation of a public domain) against proponents of authors’ natural (and perpetual) rights over their works. Then as now, many felt that the law was not always in step with cultural norms or trade practices. While some denounced all unauthorized republications as piracies, others experimented with new ways of disseminating knowledge through translations, abridgements, compilations (including the first magazines), and cheap reprints. During the nineteenth century, technological and cultural changes and the increasingly international market for books led to more debates over the legitimacy and public utility of various forms of reprinting, as well as new strategies for combatting piracy.

This conference seeks to bring together specialists of Great Britain from the eighteenth century to the present to explore the complex relationship between copyright and the circulation of knowledge. We welcome case studies that focus on a particular time period as well as papers that show how attitudes and practices have changed over time. Papers that bring past and present concerns into dialogue are especially welcome. Potential topics may include:

 

¤ the economics of publishing in a given period or sector, and its effects on the circulation of knowledge;

¤ the political, cultural, or philosophical underpinnings of public access to knowledge;

¤ the strategies developed by authors or publishers to protect their intellectual property;

¤ the perceived boundaries between legitimate and piratical publications;

¤ the consequences of specific laws or institutional arrangements for the circulation of knowledge in different domains;

¤ the use of historical examples in arguments about copyright and the public domain;

¤ the different forms of publication developed to republish or recirculate existing works, whether authorized or not.

Interested scholars should send an abstract of their proposed paper (200 words) and a short biography-bibliography (100 words) by 15 January 2016. Answers will be given by 15 March 2016.

Proposals should be sent to copyright-conference@univ-paris3.fr

The European Early American Studies association proposes to focus its 2016 meeting on the interrelated themes of Space, Mobility, and Power. In recent years, many scholars have adopted an Atlantic approach to the study of early modern empires. Whereas imperial history viewed power as flowing from metropolitan center to colonial periphery, focused on political institutions, affording little agency to non-white actors, Atlantic history has broadened our understanding of the dynamic process of early modern colonization.  Although the limitations of Atlantic history continue to be debated, the approach has undeniably focused attention on the mobility of peoples, commodities, and cultures, and revealed the multiple channels through which power and people flowed both within and among continental spaces. Indeed, its efficacy is demonstrated by recent work that re-evaluates some of the core topics of the old imperial history, including state formation, imperial government, political economy, religious communication networks, sovereignty, and European territorial expansion, to name a few examples.

One consequence of this process of pouring old wine into new bottles has been an enhanced focus on the connected issues of space, mobility, and power.  If political power did not flow from center to periphery, how did it function? How did the scale and character of the American landscape affect European claims to power over it? How did provincial and colonial agents in the New World relate to imperial centers of authority when traders, trappers, soldiers, slaves and missionaries, among others, were entangled in a complex and often conflictual relationship with Imperial-Atlantic decision-makers?  Did the European colonial experience in North America prompt Atlantic political and economic integration in the period of early globalization? What were the social problems created by the forced circulation of people and goods at the local and transnational levels? How was local production in certain regions linked to new forms of international exchange? We welcome proposals that address these questions or otherwise consider the interactions of space, mobility, and power in the history of early America and its relationship to the larger Atlantic world. Possible panel topics include:

–       The flow of wealth around the Atlantic

–       Degrees of unfreedom in the Atlantic world’s labour regimes

–       Migrations into, out of, and around the Atlantic World

–       Individuals and societies on the margins or outside of formal Atlantic empires

–       Interactions between agents of empire and others

–       Space, mobility, and power within and among indigenous polities

–       Mapping and documenting space

–       Contested spaces

–       The territorial limits of empire

–       The role of religion/religious networks in mobilizing space and power

–       Textual mobility and the traffic of books, letters, and documents

–     Censorship and other means of controlling the flow of ideas and information

–       Commerce and political diplomacy between republics and reformed monarchies

–       Merchant cultures and practices across the boundaries of empires

–       Cultural and linguistic cohesions within new political regimes
