Conference description: The Global Consortium for French Historical Studies proposes the theme “Resistance,” as a singular prism for historical understanding. By bringing into conversation the written, visual, and performed historiographical practices of cultural, social, and political history relative to the ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary worlds, this international conference proposes a timely renewal of this important object of inquiry: in different times, places, and cultures within and beyond the francophone world, what did it mean to resist?
Description du colloque: Global Consortium for French Historical Studies (Consortium mondial d'études historiques françaises) se propose d’appréhender l’histoire en mobilisant un prisme décisif : « Résister ». En faisant dialoguer des pratiques historiographiques relevant de l’histoire culturelle, sociale, politique, des mondes anciens, médiévaux, modernes et contemporains, ce colloque international entend façonner un nouvel objet d’histoire et questionner en chaque époque, chaque lieu, chaque culture, ce que résister veut dire.
