The CERCEC central seminar is held on Mondays from 5 pm to 7 pm, EHESS, Room M. & D. Lombard, 96 bd Raspail, 75006

Organizers: 

Alain Blum, Masha Cerovic, Ioulia Shukan, Vanessa Voisin (CERCEC - EHESS - CNRS)

The seminar cycle is dedicated to a continuous reflection on the sources and new questions in the social sciences and in the history of the Soviet Union, Russia, the Caucasus, Central Asia and Central Europe. A researcher is invited to present her / his research at every seminar, leading to an open discussion. For the third consecutive year, the CERCEC has chosen to highlight one of the main fields of interest of its researchers. With the support of the Labex Tepsis, we are hosting a “Condorcet Campus Workshop”: half of the cycle’s seminars will be dedicated to a discussion on “War violences and post-conflict reordering in Europe’s East (20^th – 21^st centuries)”. We will host a series of French and international guests to discuss the various ways in which the relations between states and societies have been changed, renegotiated, reordered, broken, renewed, in countries that have been deeply impacted by violent struggles and armed conflicts since the first half of the 20^th century. We will question the ways in which states and various non-state actors have competed or collaborated in their attempts to adjudicate the consequences of the unleashed violence, be it through police or paramilitary repression, judicial proceedings, social policies or contested memories. The cycle will have a strong comparative perspective, open on other geographical areas and times. The main focus, however, will be on Poland, Ukraine, and more generally, the former Western Soviet Union, since 1945.
