Les jeudi 16 et vendredi 17 juin 2022, 9h00 à 18h00
Colloque international du GRHS, organisé dans le cadre des activités du programme européen DIGITENS et du Groupement d’intérêt scientifique (GIS) Sociabilités.
—
Urban history and the history of emotions are now both well-established fields of inquiry, but the two fields have rarely engaged in dialogue with one another, particularly with regard to the pre-modern era. This conference invites urban historians and historians of emotion to consider the connections between urban and emotional experiences in Europe during the long eighteenth century (c. 1650- c. 1850). We propose that these connections can best be explored through the lens of the history of sociability, as we will explore the ways in which ideals and practices of sociability helped to shape the emotional aspects of urban life.
L’histoire urbaine et l’histoire des émotions sont aujourd’hui des champs de recherche bien établis. En revanche, ces deux domaines ont rarement dialogué entre eux, notamment en ce qui concerne l’époque moderne. Ce colloque international invite les historiens de la ville et les historiens des émotions à examiner les liens entre les expériences urbaines et émotionnelles en Europe au cours d’un long XVIIIe siècle (vers 1650-1850). C’est notamment à travers l’histoire des sociabilités que ces liens pourront être explorés, dans la mesure où nous interrogerons la façon dont les idéaux et les pratiques du « vivre-ensemble » ont contribué à façonner les aspects émotionnels de la vie urbaine.
