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)

On 30 October we launched our new catalogue of JD Bernal's peace collection. Thanks to sponsorship from the late Beryl Huffingly and the hard work of Project Archivist Joseph Dance, this internationally significant archive on the world peace movement can now be searched on our online catalogue here.

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.
