Colloque d&#8217;histoire contemporaine et d&#8217;histoire de l&#8217;art contemporainUniversit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne 16, 17, 18 juin 2016Comue Sorbonne Universit&#233;s/ FAPERJCentre d&#8217;histoire du XIXe si&#232;cle- Centre Andr&#233; ChastelArgumentaireL&#8217;av&#232;nement progressif de la souverainet&#233; nationale et de la s&#233;paration des pouvoirs au cours du XIXe&#160;si&#232;cle posent en nouveaux termes la question du &#171;&#160;double corps&#160;&#187; du pouvoir souverain. La souverainet&#233; est temporairement incarn&#233;e par une ou des personnes, en m&#234;me temps qu&#8217;elle r&#233;side dans des institutions qui en signifient la continuit&#233; et la permanence et conf&#232;rent aux villes qui les abritent le statut de capitale politique. Les capitales cessent donc d&#8217;&#234;tre itin&#233;rantes, s&#8217;ancrent dans des espaces urbains particuliers et rev&#234;tent&#160;de facto&#160;une importance consid&#233;rable, qui en renforce l&#8217;int&#233;r&#234;t strat&#233;gique et symbolique et suscite toute sorte de contestations.De fait, la &#171;&#160;capitalit&#233;&#160;&#187; d&#8217;une ville peut &#234;tre remise en cause par une occupation militaire (Lisbonne 1807-1811, Paris 1940-1944), par des r&#233;volutions (Versailles/Paris 1789, Rio de Janeiro/Lisbonne 1820, Paris/Versailles 1871), par l&#8217;&#233;tat des relations internationales (J&#233;rusalem/Tel Aviv, Berlin/Bonn), par des guerres civiles qui font &#233;merger des villes o&#249; d&#8217;autres pouvoirs, dissidents ou concurrents, fixent aussi leur r&#233;sidence (Londres, Brazzaville, Alger), par des d&#233;cisions politiques qui aboutissent au transfert des pouvoirs vers un autre centre (Istanbul/Ankara, Rio de Janeiro/Brasilia, Abidjan/Yamoussoukro, Lagos/Abuja, Melbourne/Canberra, Calcutta/New Delhi) ou au partage des fonctions r&#233;galiennes entre plusieurs sites urbains (Pretoria/Le Cap), par l&#8217;alternance entre les capitales d&#8217;&#233;t&#233; et les capitales d&#8217;hiver (Rio de Janeiro/Petr&#243;polis, Le Caire/Alexandrie, Hanoi/Dalat), par des p&#244;les qui s&#8217;imposent comme capitales culturelles, &#233;ventuellement distincts du centre politique. Les ind&#233;pendances et la formation de nouveaux &#201;tats sont l&#8217;occasion de d&#233;bats, qui peuvent &#234;tre source de guerre civile, sur le choix de la capitale nationale (Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro). La construction d&#8217;ensembles politiques f&#233;d&#233;raux ou supranationaux suppose &#233;galement l&#8217;apparition de nouveaux centres, compl&#233;mentaires ou rivaux des capitales existantes (la notion de &#171;&#160;district f&#233;d&#233;ral&#160;&#187;, Ottawa, Brasilia, Bruxelles).Les expositions universelles et en particulier celles du XIXe&#160;si&#232;cle furent ainsi un acteur majeur de la &#171;&#160;d&#233;capitalisation&#160;&#187; ou d&#8217;internationalisation de la capitalit&#233;. Il s&#8217;agissait, pour les pays organisateurs, de rendre palpable l&#8217;attraction culturelle que provoquaient leurs productions artistiques et industrielles. Avec la cr&#233;ation en 1985 du titre de Capitale europ&#233;enne de la culture, la notion de &#171;&#160;capitale culturelle&#160;&#187; est red&#233;finie : ce n&#8217;est plus une instance nationale qui affirme sa propre &#171;&#160;capitalit&#233;&#160;&#187;, mais une commission qui attribue et partage entre les pays d&#8217;Europe cette attractivit&#233; du lieu. Il convient d&#8217;interroger les formes de d&#233;territorialisation et de d&#233;nationalisation, ainsi que la red&#233;finition du lien entre politique et culture.Se pose aussi la question de la r&#233;silience des villes qui ont perdu leur statut, mais conservent une aura de capitale. Comment une ville survit-elle &#224; sa d&#233;gradation politique et administrative&#160;? Quel est l&#8217;impact culturel de la perte de la capitalit&#233; politique&#160;? Quel r&#244;le jouent les capitales historiques (Istanbul, Pers&#233;polis, Delhi/New Delhi) par rapport aux capitales affichant leur modernit&#233;&#160;? Comment s&#8217;organisent concr&#232;tement les transferts&#160;? Comment le corps diplomatique suit-il ces changements&#160;? Comment la reconnaissance internationale p&#232;se-t-elle sur la persistance, ou non, de la &#171;&#160;capitalit&#233;&#160;&#187;&#160;?C&#8217;est au sort des capitales d&#233;poss&#233;d&#233;es temporairement ou d&#233;finitivement de leur statut, des capitales alternatives ou provisoires (Bordeaux, Vichy, Londres, Brazzaville, Alger), les formes d&#8217;itin&#233;rance de la souverainet&#233; et la persistance de la capitalit&#233;, &#160;que seront consacr&#233;es les 3 journ&#233;es de ce colloque, du point de vue de l&#8217;histoire et de l&#8217;histoire de l&#8217;art. Cette rencontre s&#8217;appuie sur le projet &#171;&#160;Capital Cities&#160;: from Nations to Globalization, 19th&#160;c.-21th&#160;c.&#160;&#187;, co-financ&#233; par la Comue Sorbonne-Universit&#233;s et la Funda&#231;&#227;o de Amparo &#224; Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ), associe des historiens de l&#8217;art et des historiens du Centre de Recherche en histoire du XIXe&#160;si&#232;cle et de diverses institutions de l&#8217;&#201;tat de Rio de Janeiro (Br&#233;sil) autour des tensions entre capitalit&#233; politique et capitalit&#233; culturelle. Pour cette raison, les exemples de Paris et de Rio de Janeiro seront privil&#233;gi&#233;s, mais les d&#233;bats s&#8217;enrichiront des comparaisons avec d&#8217;autres espaces.Modalit&#233;s de soumissionLes propositions, sous la forme d&#8217;un r&#233;sum&#233; en 5 &#224; 10 lignes, sont &#224; envoyer,avant le 15 d&#233;cembre,&#224; armelle.enders@paris-sorbonne.frComit&#233; ScientifiqueEliska Altmann (Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro),Jean-Yves Andrieux (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Fabrice Bensimon (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Jacques-Olivier Boudon (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Marcos Bretas (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro)J&#233;r&#233;my Cerman (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Christophe Charle (Universit&#233; Paris-1-Panth&#233;on-Sorbonne),Olivier Dard (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Isabelle Dasque (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne)Armelle Enders (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Marieta de Moraes Ferreira (UFRJ),Jacques Fr&#233;meaux (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Arnaud-Dominique Houte (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Dominique Kalifa (Universit&#233; Paris-1-Panth&#233;on-Sorbonne),Thierry Laug&#233;e (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Jean-No&#235;l Luc (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Isabel Lustosa (FCRB),Arnaud Maillet (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Maria Beatriz de Mello e Souza (UFRJ).Contemporary history and history of art conferenceUniversit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne 16th, 17th, 18th June 2016Comue Sorbonne Universit&#233;s/ FAPERJCentre d&#8217;histoire du XIXe si&#232;cle - Centre Andr&#233; ChastelArgumentThe progressive establishment of national sovereignty and the separation of powers throughout the course of the nineteenth century redefines the issue of the &#8220;dual body&#8221; of sovereign power. Sovereignty is temporarily personified by one or several persons, while simultaneously remaining a part of the institutions which signify continuity and permanence, and confer upon the city in which they are located, the status of political capital. These capitals therefore cease to be itinerant, become fixed in certain urban spaces and assume a considerable de facto importance, which enforces strategic and symbolic interest and provokes a variety of contestations. &#160;The &#8220;capitalness&#8221; of a city may then be challenged by a military occupation (Lisbon 1807-1811, Paris 1940-1944), by a revolution (Versailles/Paris 1789, Rio de Janeiro/Lisbon 1820, Paris/Versailles 1871), by the state of international relations (Jerusalem/Tel Aviv, Berlin/Bonn), or by civil wars which bring into play cities where other competitive or dissident powers take up residence (London, Brazzaville, Algiers). Capital status may also be contested by means of political decisions which result in transferring power to another centre (Istanbul/Ankara, Rio de Janeiro/Brasilia, Abidjan/Yamoussoukro, Lagos/Abuja, Melbourne/Canberra, Calcutta/New Delhi) or in the sharing of sovereign functions between multiple urban sites (Pretoria/Cape Town), by alternating between a summer and a winter capital (Rio de Janeiro/Petropolis, Cairo/Alexandria, Hanoi/Dalat), or by centres which emerge as cultural capitals which are distinct from the political capital. Independence and the emergence of new states provide an opportunity for debate about the choice of a national capital, which can be a source of civil war (Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro). The construction of federal or supranational political systems also implies the emergence of new centres, which may complement or rival the existing capital (the concept of the &#8220;federal district&#8221;, Ottawa, Brasilia, Brussels).&#160;Universal exhibitions, particularly those in the nineteenth century have played an important part in the process of &#8220;decapitalisation&#8221; or internationalisation of &#160;&#8220;capitalness&#8221;. For&#160; the organising countries it was a matter of constructing the cultural attraction of their own artistic and industrial productions into something tangible. With the creation of the title of the European Capital of Culture in 1985, the concept of &#8220;cultural capital&#8221; was redefined: it is no longer a national body which defines its own &#8220;capitalness&#8221;, but a separate commission which assigns and shares between European countries this label of attractiveness. It is necessary to examine the different forms of deterritorialisation and denationalisation, as well as the redefinition of the connection between politics and culture.We must also consider the resilience of those capitals that lose their status yet retain a certain aura of capital. How does a city survive this political and administrative downgrading? What is the cultural impact of the loss of political &#8220;capitalness&#8221;. What role do historical capitals (Istanbul, Persepolis, Delhi/New Delhi) play in relation to capitals that boast their modernity? How are the transfers structured? How does the diplomatic community follow these changes? How does international recognition influence the persistency, or lack thereof, of &#8220;capitalness&#8221;?The three day conference will be devoted to examining the fate of those capitals that have been temporarily or permanently stripped of their status, alternative or provisional capitals (Bordeaux, London, Brazzaville, Algiers), and mobile forms of sovereignty, as well as the endurance of &#8220;capitalness&#8221;, from a historical and history of art point of view. This meeting is based on the project &#8220;Capital Cities: from Nations to Globalization, 19th c &#8211; 21st&#160; c.&#8221;, co-financed by the Communaut&#233; d&#8217;universit&#233;s et d'&#233;tablissements (COMUE) Sorbonne-Universit&#233;s and the Funda&#231;&#227;o de Amparo &#224; Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ). It brings together history of art historians and historians from the Centre de Recherche en histoire du XIXe si&#232;cle and a range of institutions from the state of Rio de Janeiro (Brasil) on the subject of the tensions which arise between political and cultural &#8220;capitalness&#8221;. For this reason, the examples of Paris and Rio de Janeiro will be given priority, but comparisons with other spaces will serve to expand and enrich discussions.Submission guidelinesSubmissions should take the form of a short abstract (5-10 lines) and should be sentto armelle.enders@paris-sorbonne.frbefore the 15th December.&#160;Academic committeeEliska Altmann (Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro),Jean-Yves Andrieux (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Fabrice Bensimon (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Jacques-Olivier Boudon (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Marcos Bretas (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro)J&#233;r&#233;my Cerman (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Christophe Charle (Universit&#233; Paris-1-Panth&#233;on-Sorbonne),Olivier Dard (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Isabelle Dasque (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Armelle Enders (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Marieta de Moraes Ferreira (UFRJ),Jacques Fr&#233;meaux (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Arnaud-Dominique Houte (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Dominique Kalifa (Universit&#233; Paris-1-Panth&#233;on Sorbonne),Thierry Laug&#233;e (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Jean-No&#235;l Luc (universit&#233; Paris-Sorbonne),Isabel Lustosa (FCRB),Arnaud Maillet (universit&#233; Paris Sorbonne),Maria Beatriz de Mello e Souza (UFRJ).
