Research Seminars - Autumn term 2006/07 The department puts on two separate seminar programmes: the Departmental Seminars (DS) and the Research Seminars (RS). The Departmental Seminars are joint seminars, organized by 2 or more professors (convenors), and are essentially teaching seminars, aimed at examining broad developments within the discipline, and exploring major theoretical and methodological issues. Each semester the department will put on 5 to 6 Departmental Seminars (8 to 9 sessions per semester). Alongside the Departmental Seminars are the Research Seminars (8 to 9 sessions per semester) which are organized by individual professors (or in some cases jointly organized by 2 professors). The Research Seminars are intended as specialized seminars dealing with the research in progress of professors, researchers and visiting scholars. Researchers normally attend the Research Seminars of their supervisors.

First year researchers are required to take 3 seminars in the autumn semester (RS or DS) and two seminars in the spring semester (RS or DS). Of these five seminars the researcher has to choose two DS. A researcher is not confined to the Departmental Seminars offered by the Department of History, but may, where appropriate and with the approval of her/his supervisor, take a seminar offered by another department. The Department formally requires you to register with the Departmental Administrator the titles of the seminars, which you must attend during each of your first and second semesters of study. During the autumn semester all first year researchers will be required to hand in a written presentation and to give an oral presentation upon the subject of 2 of the seminars that they are attending.

The teaching programme for the autumn semester will run from 9th October to 8th December 2006. The teaching programme for the Spring Semester will start on 8th January and end on 9th March 2007.

Atelier Multimédia

The adventure of the multimedia atelier has now become a fully-fledged institution. Like during the academic year 2005-2006, it will continue to be held this year, 2006-2007, every Wednesdays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The Atelier has four goals:

1) introduce the internet and multimedia instruments to the researchers and how to use them. In this occasion, Serge Noiret, our history librarian, will present the library facilities and services.

2) discuss work that has been done using multimedia techniques and ongoing researcher's projects in the field.

3) present the on-line projects of the history department.

4) invite key speakers in the field.

Apart from the specific computer courses on the EUI Library electronic resources, we need everybody's help in the department and in the library. Please feel free to tell us what you would like to do, make suggestions on conference or topics to be presented and send everything through e-mail to the responsible of the Atelier, the Library History Subject Specialist, Dr.Serge Noiret, serge.noiret@iue.it.

Usually the Atelier takes place on Wednesday 15.00-17.00 in Sala Triaria.

Prof. Heinz-Gerhard Haupt and Philippe Buton (Université de Reims)

New ways of Writing Political History The seminar will introduce and define a new agenda of political history which is critical to the old institutional, decision - process oriented way of writing about politics. We will present debates on France, Germany and the USA as well as on theoretical works before discussing parts of books or stimulating articles which might illustrate problems and the potential of this historiographical turn.

Researchers can participate either in presenting orally one of the historiographical or theoretical articles or- and I would invite most of you to do this – in discussing orally your PhD project in accordance or in disagreement with the position expressed in the more thematic articles. We will have to share our linguistic knowledge. Those who must deliver a written paper are invited to write a few pages on the benefits they draw from the seminar for their own research.

If you have suggestions for the program or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Usually on Thursday at 1.00PM in sala Belvedere

Workshop on the Maghrib and Italy, 14th to 19th centuries.

Prof. Arfon Rees

Russia and Eastern Europe in the Twentieth Century: Modernisation and Conceptions of Modernity The course will look at a number of themes. It will examine the way in which Sovietisation was developed as a modernising project, for the transformation of Eastern Europe after 1945. It will examine the way the division of Europe in the period of the Cold War was part of a longer term process of defining Europe’s borders, and the way the collapse of communism and EU enlargement has led to a re-evaluation of these boundaries; the way regional identities have asserted themselves, and the way in which ethnic and religious cleavages have identified division between and within states. It will look at the end of Communism and the problem of managing its legacy, not least in terms of memory politics and commemoration. The course will address the question of the heterogeneity of the state of the region and of the problem of absorbing different communities. The experience of these societies has also been of large scale migration, and the relevance of large diasporas communities for the identities of the societies and the receiving societies will be examined. The course will also look at the consolidation of post-communist states in terms of their economic and political organisation. The course will be integrated with two workshops – one on Revisionist Controversies in European Historiography, and the other on the Anti- Communist Revolutions of 1989.

Prof. Antonella Romano and Prof. Bartolomé Yun-Casalilla Trans-national Networks and Cultural Transferences, 16th-19th Centuries The so-called European culture and its differentiation regarding other cultures has been often studied, either as an ensemble of national histories or as a consequence of very undefined transferences and encounters within the Old Continent or between it and the rest of the world. Yet new perspectives are emerging that propose a more complex and promising view. The increasing impact of network theories and of trans-national history (as an approach which deals with social, economic and cultural interference of human groups belonging to different cultures) and the awareness of the complexity of cultural exchanges, which so much emphasize the role of mediators and contexts, are creating a new field in which both the functioning of social networks and the cultural transferences are redefined. The aim of this seminar – complementary to some Departmental Seminars – is to deal with some new, and sometimes rather unexplored, dimensions of this view by picking up specific case studies. Our aim is to endow students working in different fields with a wide range of approaches that can be useful to contextualize or to see their own research from a broader perspective.

The seminar will be held either on Monday (5pm-7pm, Belvedere) and / or on Wednesday (5.30 pm-7.30 pm, Belvedere) (sometimes both)
