CRHIA researchers coordinate several projects : local, national, european and international. CRHIA is also a partner of european and ANR projects. 


Parabaino

Massacres et violences extrêmes à l'Antiquité

Le projet parabaino se propose d’appréhender les massacres et les violences extrêmes à travers les expériences grecque et romaine dans une perspective comparée et pluridisciplinaire (Anthropologie, Archéologie, Histoire, Histoire de l’Art, Lettres Classiques, Philosophie). Il s’agit d’étudier la genèse de ces pratiques afin d’inscrire l’Antiquité dans la compréhension globale des génocides et des violences de masse ; les résultats obtenus ont ainsi vocation à enrichir la connaissance des sociétés anciennes et à produire un savoir susceptible de contribuer à la réflexion d’ensemble sur le sujet. Les recherches sur le génocide mettent en valeur l’intemporalité des violences de masse, mais aussi la difficulté à les questionner en usant d’un mot élaboré par les Occidentaux au XXesiècle ; l’un des principaux verrous scientifiques à lever sera donc d’ordre conceptuel et terminologique.

Ce programme est coordonné au CRHIA, par l'intermédiaire d'Isabelle PIMOUGUET-PEDARROS, et mené en partenariat avec le CERHIC, par l'intermédiaire de Nathalie BARRANDON, le CReAAH et le laboratoire Histémé.

LabEx EHNE

EHNE Project : rewriting european history

 





The EHNE project is one of the fifteen projects in social sciences supported by the French Ministry for Research and Higher Education in the framework of the call for proposals "Laboratoires d’Excellence".

The scientific approach has a wider ambition regarding the general interest : to shed light on the current crisis in Europe. This complex crisis containing multiple dimensions also finds itself associated with the inability of the current historiography to grasp the subject of Europe as a whole and to integrate the history of the European project into the global European history.

The CRHIA is the only one research centres not located in Paris and is in charge of one of the research themes: Europe, the Europeans and the world .

It is a great success for the CRHIA who is involved in a collaborative and excellence project with a long-term (10 years) and international perspective. The EHNE project will give a strong recognition to the Research centre.

Under the responsibility of Michel Catala, the CRHIA will be in charge of  theme 4 :

Europe, the Europeans and the world

The identity of Europe is defined by its relations to the rest of the world, whether close or remote, and also by relations, exchanges and feedbacks. We focus on movements from and towards Europe in all their aspects, on the transfers involved and on their impact on European identity/identities. Actors and vectors of these movements provide an analytical key: individual actors, networks, private and international organizations.

Our work will be divided into three sub-themes:

  • Sub-theme 1 : Exchange, circulations and migrations
  • Sub-theme 2 : International relations and strategies
  • Sub-theme 3 : Representations and Alterities

In Nantes, the research on theme 4 started on October 2012, 12th (first meeting of the coordination committee).

Virginie CHAILLOU-ATROUS (postdoctoral fellow) is in charge of the scientific follow-up.

REPAIRS

Reparations, Compensations and Indemnities for slavery (Europe, Americas, Africa / 19th – 21th centuries)


The REPAIRS project, “Reparations, Compensations and Indemnities for slavery (Europe, Americas, Africa / 19th – 21th centuries)”, is granted by the French National Agency for Research (ANR) for 3 years and a half and started on January 2016, 1st. It is coordinated by the French National Centre for Research (CNRS – CIRESC lab, Myriam COTTIAS) and the CRHIA (University of Nantes) participate in the project thanks to Antonio DE ALMEIDA MENDES, senior lecturer in early-modern history.

The objective is to analyse the mechanisms of compensations by the States who owned slaves in Americas, Indian Ocean and some colonies in Africa concurrently with the French demands to Haiti in 1825, and to study, on a national and international perspective, reparations claims of groups from 1945 no nowadays (transnational circulations of ideas and demands).

SLAFNET

Slavery in Africa : a dialogue between Europe and Africa


The SLAFNET project, granted by Horizon 2020 (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange) for three years (June 2017, 1st – June 2020, 1st), is led by Marie-Pierre BALLARIN, Institut de Recherche pour le Développement. CRHIA is participating in the project thanks to Antonio de ALMEIDA MENDES.

The overall objective of the project is to establish a top-level scientific network of several institutions and research groups from Europe and Africa on the field of slavery studies. It aims at focusing mutual efforts of 13 partners with extended and complementary competences in their respective research fields and at gathering multidisciplinary expertise in slavery-related issues by encouraging the exchange of young and senior researchers from both continents.

The partners are: IRD, CNRS, Université de Nantes, Bath Spa University, The University of Birmingham, Université de Yaoundé I, University of Mauritius, National Museums of Kenya, Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, Universidade de Lisboa, Universitaet Hamburg, Catholic University of Eastern Africa (Nairobi) and Addis Ababa University.

LIPE

Europe, from the research lab to the class


The LIPE project (Europe, from the research lab to the class), led by Michel CATALA, Professor of Modern History at CRHIA (University of Nantes), and Virginie CHAILLOU-ATROUS, PhD in Modern History at CRHIA (University of Nantes), aims at creating a digital platform to group innovative educational resources produced by national or international research programmes dealing with European issues (educational worksheets, corpus of documents, videos and web documentaries, audio recordings and radio programmes, MOOC, serious games, interactive maps, iconographic resources, etc.).
