The SSFH Annual Conference.Society for the Study of French History would like to announce that its 26th Annual Conference will be held at King’s Manor, University of York, 1-3 July 2012. Call for Papers. Theme: France and Its Neighbours: Towards a Transnational History [download flyer] The conference theme is prompted by the challenge of globalization and the notion that Europe can no longer be studied primarily through the lens of particular national histories and historiographies. What does this mean for French history and its traditional chronological boundaries? How do we write French history beyond the framework and boundaries of national histories? How did France perceive and influence its neighbours? What is the French contribution to the pattern and dynamic of transnational interconnection? How did France’s colonies and interactions with non-European regions influence European society and culture and how, in turn, was she influenced by them? To what extent does a transnational approach bring fresh perspectives to the regional and local history of France? We invite the submission of twenty minute papers that explore these themes from different angles and perspectives and on any period of French history from the early medieval to the contemporary. Proposals for themes of two or three papers which cross chronological and/or geographic boundaries are particularly welcome. However, our theme is not exclusive as to subject and we also welcome contributions that reflect the broad diversity of the discipline of French History. Proposals are invited for twenty minute papers (in either English or French) on any aspect of French history from the early medieval to the contemporary period. We have confirmed the following keynote speakers: Edward James (Dublin), Susanne Desan (Wisconsin), Isser Woloch (Columbia). Submissions of no more than 300 words and a very brief CV should be sent by email to Jenny Hillman: jennifer.hillman@york.ac.uk by Friday December 2nd 2011. For and on behalf of the Conference Organisers: Stuart Carroll, Alan Forrest, Geoff Cubitt, Guy Halsall and Katherine Wilson and the Society for the Study of French History _________________________ Society for the Study of French History, 26e colloque annuel les 1-3 juillet 2012 à l’Université de York (King’s Manor). Appel aux communications: France et ses voisins: vers une histoire transnationale. Le thème du colloque est inspiré par le défi de la globalisation et par l’idée que l’Europe ne peut plus être étudiée dans l’optique seule de ses histoires et ses historiographies nationales. Une série de questions s’impose. Qu’est-ce que cela implique pour l’histoire de la France et pour ses coupures chronologiques traditionnelles? Comment cherche-t-on à écrire l’histoire française en dehors et au-delà du cadre des histoires nationales ? Comment la France a-t-elle perçu et influencé ses voisins? Quelle est sa contribution à la dynamique des interconnexions transnationales ? Comment ses interactions avec ses colonies et avec des régions extra- européennes ont-elles influencé l’Europe, sa société et sa culture, et comment á son tour la France en a-t-elle été influencée ? Combien une approche transnationale apporte-t-elle de nouvelles perspectives à l’histoire locale et régionale de la France ? Nous invitons des propositions de communication qui utilisent des ’approches et des perspectives différentes pour s’adresser à ces thèmes. Les communications devraient ne pas dépasser vingt minutes, et peuvent traiter de toute période du médiéval au contemporain. Nous sollicitons également des propositions de sessions thématiques qui regroupent deux ou trois communications traversant des frontières géographiques et/ou chronologiques. Mais ce thème n’est en aucun sens exclusif : nous nous intéressons aussi aux propositions qui reflètent la diversité de la discipline de l’histoire française. On invite des propositions (en anglais ou en français) de communications de vingt minutes maximum, sur tout aspect de l’histoire de France du mérovingien au temps présent. Veuillez envoyer à Jenny Hillman (jennifer.hillman@york.ac.uk) avant le vendredi 2 décembre 2011 un précis de 300 mots et un CV sommaire. Nous pouvons dès maintenant confirmer la participation d’ Edward James (Dublin), Susanne Desan (Wisconsin), et Isser Woloch (Columbia). Envoyé de la part des organisateurs : Stuart Carroll, Alan Forrest, Geoff Cubitt, Guy Halsall et Katherine Wilson, et de la Society for the Study of French History. |
