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.
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.
