The SSFH Annual Conference.
The conference theme is to be interpreted widely. Its purpose is to explore entanglements, solidarities and conflicts in the most inclusive sense – transnational, global, local, diplomatic, military, class, gender, religious, status, cultural, imperial, colonial, producer, consumer, chronological, and more. Participants may choose to ask how French people reconciled or failed to reconcile involvement in networks that were smaller than the nation (personal, family, regional, professional...) with transnational exchanges and crossings (churches, commercial exchanges, ideologies...). They may ask how transnational history looks if we bring conflict into the equation. Another potential area of interest is the role of social movements in French history, the potentially conflicting motivations and objectives of the people who participated in them. Also welcomed are papers that ask how historiographical disputes are entangled with conflicts among the subjects of that historiography. Confirmed keynote speakers: Todd Shepard (John Hopkins University), Jinty Nelson (King's College, London) and Fanny Cosandey (EHESS). 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. Proposals for panels of two or three papers that cross chronological and/or geographic boundaries are particularly welcome. Please note that 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 should consist of a one-page CV and an abstract of not more than 300 words, in a single document, preferably in pdf format. Panel proposals should also consist of a single document. The deadline for submission of proposals is 10 January 2013. _______________ Le thème du colloque devrait être interprété sous un aspect général. Son objet est d'explorer les
solidarités, conflits et histoires croisées au sens le plus inclusif – transnational, global, local,
diplomatique, militaire, classe, genre, religieux, statut, consommateur, producteur, culturel, impérial,
colonial, chronologique et encore plus. Les participants peuvent choisir d'interroger comment les
français ont réconcilié ou ont failli de réconcilier la participation aux réseaux plus petits que la nation
(personnel, familial, régional, professionnel…) avec les échanges transnationaux et passages (églises,
échanges commerciaux, idéologies…). Ils peuvent se demander à quoi ressemble l'histoire
transnationale si on considère l'impact du conflit. Un autre domaine d'intérêt est le rôle des
mouvements sociaux dans l'histoire de la France, les motifs et objectifs potentiellement conflictuels
de ceux qui y ont participé. Nous invitons également les propositions qui se demandent, par exemple,
comment les disputes historiographiques sont mêlées avec les conflits entre les sujets de cette
historiographie.
Nous pouvons dès maintenant confirmer la participation de Todd Shepard (John Hopkins University), Jinty Nelson (King's College, London) et Fanny Cosandey (EHESS).
