With the cluster’s own dynamics and lines of inquiry as a starting point, this project proposes to form a collective of academics, researchers, administrative personnel, university students, and municipal and associated partners to provide the voices of the history of Nanterre’s university (campus, institution, intellectual history) and its relationship to the region. Simultaneously, this requires, prior to the research, the invention of both the mediation along an urban circuit and ad hoc mobile, digital systems.
Attuned to the problematic elements of a history of the present (issues of oral history, of access to diffused archival sources, and of the role of the historical actors themselves in the writing of this history), this interdisciplinary project draws from a common research protocol: common survey guide, at least partial, studies on the appropriations of the past at each stage of the project; critical approach to the history in the making, notably via a monthly workshop and a blog; annual report…. For its first year, the project coincides with the university’s fiftieth anniversary.

On the occasion of the European Heritage Days 2014, the Pasts in the Present cluster of excellence proposed 3 urban circuits. They are organized in partnershop with the Société d’Histoire de Nanterre, the students of the Master's Degree "Aménagement et urbanisme" of the Université Paris Nanterre and the laboratory Mosaïques (UMR Lavue).
Circuit 1 : A campus next to slums: birth of a university on the fringe of the blue-collar city (1964-2014)
Circuit guided by Victor Collet, researcher, Université Paris Nanterre
Circuit 2 : From the former city center to the university : industrial and military history (1914-2014)
Circuit guided by Robert Cornaille, President of the Société d'Histoire de Nanterre and Alain Bocquet
Circuit 3 : From the revolutionary university to the towers of La Défense : walking throught the urban upheavals (1964-2014)
Circuit guided by Victor Collet, researcher, and Frédéric Dufaux, Senior lecturer, université Paris Nanterre

Sophie Blanchy is doing research in Comoros archipelago and in Madagascar Island. She studied and valued Henri Pobéguin’s photographic collection, which was constituted in the Comoros in 1897 (glass plates, Library of St Maur des Fossés, digitized in MAE, available exhibition, published book). She used these well captioned photos in her ethnographical inquiries (on line publication). She also studied the archives of Lars Vig, Lutheran Norwegian missionary and ethnographer who lived in Madagascar at the end of the XIXè century. His archives concern the practices and the religious representations (published papers).

Bio
Virginie Milliot’s research deals with processes of social and cultural emergence, of which cities are the crucible, as well as with policies of recognition and institutionalisation, of which these dynamics are the subjet.
She is the author of a doctoral thesis on the “indigenisation” of hip hop in France. This research analyses the reclaiming and reinterpretation of this symbolic form in the context of working-class suburbs and the effects of the recognition policy implemented by municipal political actors in the 1990s. She shows the links that exist between the popular culture of the fragile lives of the young people in these neighbourhoods and the artistic conventions of street hip-hop. Then she analyses the development of this movement within urban networks and the transformation of these forms of expression from the street to the stage.
