  Summer School - Representation

  Islamic heritage in Europe

  Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest among scholars in analysing how the Islamic heritage in Europe has been perceived, described, preserved, erased, negotiated or transformed in different areas of Europe, from medieval to modern times. However, those debates seldom crossed the borders of regional approaches. The aim of this training school is to discuss those issues from different and complementary perspectives, including art history, but also philosophy, history of science or anthropology, and to question the traditional regional narrative through a comparative examination of Islamic monuments in a wider Mediterranean perspective.

  Pathos. Forms and fortunes of literary emotions

  The goal of this summer school is to explore the role of emotions in literature, namely with respect to the excess of pathos in different forms and times. Pathos has been a fundamental aspect of literature in every epoch. Great poetry has always foregrounded its ability to represent feelings, evoke intense and vivid moods, and elicit readers’ emotions and empathy. On the other hand, the novel – the genre dominating literary modernity – has been o!en accused of indulging in sentimental excess, giving too much space to melodramatic expression. Indeed, in Western cultures, there is a widespread suspicion towards pathos, which has o!en been identified as a shortcoming of literature. Great books – according to a common implicit assumption – can prompt reflection and laughter, but not tears: pathos only concerns lowbrow production. The summer school is an opportunity to engage in a reflection on issues related to pathos in literature in the last few centuries. Different perspectives will be taken into account: specific literary works, reader response theory, cognitive narratology, transmedia adaptation, and publishing history.

  The mariage of Cadmus and Harmony: The European Renaissance and its reception

  La rencontre a pour but un questionnement sur les liens entre problématiques politiques et religieuses d'un côté, et la production littéraire et artistique de l'autre, dans l'Europe de la Renaissance, avec une attention particulière pour notamment l‘Italie, la France et l’Espagne. La réception de ces notions dans l'historiographie et la critique littéraire, ainsi que dans l'imaginaire de la modernité sera au centre de la réflexion. Un volet important de cette manifestation consistera en un dialogue ouvert sur la formation des élites dirigeantes européennes au début de la modernité et le rôle, dans ce cadre, des noblesses et des cours.
