16 - 17 June 2022 - International conference: "Emotions and the City: Urban Sociability in Britain and France, c. 1650- c. 1850" organised by the GRHS (Groupe de Recherche sur l'Histoire des Sociablités) and the GIS Sociabilités / Sociability and sponsored by DIGITENS - Montreal
This conference invites urban historians and historians of emotions to consider the connections between urban and emotional experiences in Europe during the long eighteenth century. 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.
Visit the website of the GRHS for further information on the programme.
Organisers : Pascal Bastien (UQAM) & Brian Cowan (MCG)

13-14 October 2022 - Conference on Sociability and Sporting Practices in the long Eighteenth century - Paris, Sorbonne Université.
Scientific event organised in partnership with the SERA (Société d’Etude du Romantisme Anglais).
The conference will investigate the intricate relationship between sports and literature and the arts in the long eighteenth century. Sports are a particular good place to reflect on sociability, while the cultural approach enables an understanding of sports which goes beyond their history. We understand the place of sports in our societies if we look at their cultural representations and at the work they do.
Organisers: Alexis Tadié (SU) and Caroline Bertonèche (Université Grenoble Alpes)

7-9 December 2022 - Closing DIGITENS conference "Sociability on the Move in the Long Eighteenth Century (1650-1850)" - Brest, University of Western Brittany
This international conference aims to explore new insights on forms, models and practices of sociability interpreted and analysed through the prism of movement. As such, it will conclude the H2020 DIGITENS project launched in January 2019 and initiate the new scientific programme of the GIS Sociabilités/Sociability.
We welcome proposals for individual papers (20-25 minutes given in English or French) or already constituted panels (3 papers) from various disciplinary fields (history, philosophy, art history, history of science, geography, sociology, anthropology, ethnology, literature, cultural studies, postcolonial studies). We encourage innovative methodologies and approaches as well as the use of digital technologies and techniques for the collection, storage, analysis and presentation of data.
