CfP: Colonial Baggage: Global Tourism in the Age of Empires, 1840s–1970s

Online workshop, Munich Centre for Global History, 18–19 November 2021

The workshop explores the dynamics of tourist travel in colonial and imperial contexts. We welcome case studies from all geographical areas, dating roughly from the onset of the age of steam until the era of decolonization. Three hitherto neglected aspects inform our agenda: the connection between tourism and imperial (infra)structures; the trans-colonial and intra-regional dimension of tourism; as well as the workers of imperial tourism.

 

CfP: Militant cinema in the Arab world (from the 1960s to the present day)

[FRENCH VERSION AVAILABLE HERE: https://calenda.org/869718]

The Arab region has been, since the end of World War II, the theater of constant conflicts that fueled and reflected the tensions between World’s major nations during and after the Cold War. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the first to generate and concentrate the political, ideological, and social tensions linked to the region turmoil, where the camera explores the reality beyond the anesthetic representation of society in Arab mainstream movies.

Dans un monde d’hommes : femmes, archives et histoire de l’imprimé au Québec

Du mercredi 5 au vendredi 7 mai 2021

La question des archives du livre a suscité, au cours des dernières années, plusieurs colloques et projets de recherche. Les chercheures et chercheurs qui s’y sont confrontés n’ont pu que constater la présence évanescente et feutrée des femmes et de leurs trajectoires au sein de ces masses de documents. C’est précisément cette question que ce colloque souhaite soulever de manière frontale : quelles sont les traces laissées par les femmes dans les archives du livre et de l’imprimé?
