Lancaster University, 29 June – 1 July 2020

The annual conference of the Social History Society is the largest gathering of social and cultural historians in the UK. For more than four decades, our members have transformed historical research, exploring the many ways in which our social worlds are made, imagined, shared and shattered. We are delighted to be returning to Lancaster University, which was the intellectual home of many of the society’s founding members, in 2020.

Le colloque international « Migrations : traces, inscriptions et textualités » visera à comparer les modalités d’expression et de réception d’un concept politiquement et médiatiquement omniprésent dans le débat public européen et latino-américain. Le concept de « migration-s » sera interrogé d’un point de vue à la fois synchronique et généalogique (dans le sens que Michel Foucault lui a donné).

Appréhendé à l’époque coloniale comme le « laboratoire de la modernité » européenne (De l’Estoile 2004, Lachenal 2010), le continent africain est aujourd’hui partie intégrante de l’histoire et de l’avenir de l’Europe mais aussi du monde. Dans son essai Afrotopia récemment traduit en allemand, l’économiste et écrivain sénégalais Felwine Sarr dénonce le mythe occidental du développement projeté sur les sociétés africaines et appelle à décoloniser les esprits de par et d’autre de la Méditerranée pour permettre aux Afriques de redevenir le « poumon spirituel du monde. » (Sarr 2019)

Recent decades have seen many economic history books and articles published about working men and women, small and big entrepreneurs, guilds and state manufactures, farmers and journeymen, and children and citizens. Studies have been conducted both at a macro and a micro level, at a global and at a local scale and with regional and national approaches aimed at analysing cultural, social and economic phenomena associated with the world of work. Yet, there is still new ground to be covered.

Mostra “Meccanica e passione. Giuseppe De Vecchi e le origini dell’industria dell’auto a Milano”

12 novembre/12 dicembre 2019 | Sesto San Giovanni

The aim of this conference will be to analyse the characteristics of 19th-century French industrialisation and to understand how these 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.
