  Traces of La Boétie today

  The history and current state of the enigma of voluntary servitude today

  La plupart des déplacements théoriques ou détournements politiques qui scandent la réception du Discours jusqu'à nos jours, loin d'être réductibles à de simples appropriations ou réductions de l'interrogation ouverte par La Boétie, témoignent aussi de sa fécondité philosophique. En réunissant spécialistes de l’histoire de la philosophie et spécialistes de la philosophie politique, cette journée d’étude entend explorer la tension entre l'énigme proprement philosophique de l’œuvre et quelques-unes de ses actualisations politiques récentes (servitude totalitaire, servitude néolibérale, etc.).

  La repressione nei conflitti politici. Teorie, discorsi e pratiche (XVI-XX secolo)

  Convegno telematico

  Il convegno è dedicato alle teorie, ai discorsi e alle pratiche attraverso le quali le autorità pubbliche e i soggetti politici hanno contrastato, favorito, manipolato e spiegato alcuni tra gli eventi insurrezionali più importanti dell’età moderna (secoli XVI-XIX). L’obiettivo è riflettere su come tali azioni abbiano contribuito a fissare in presa diretta le interpretazioni dei conflitti politici e la fisionomia dei gruppi sociali e delle fazioni che vi prendevano parte. A tal fine si procederà tramite un approccio interdisciplinare, che combinerà l’analisi storico-evenemenziale con quella discorsiva e mobiliterà le metodologie della storia del pensiero politico e del diritto.

  Guido delle Colonne and his Reception in Medieval Europe

  Guido delle Colonne’s Historia destructionis Troiae has been a phenomenal success since its composition at the end of the 13th century. Nevertheless, academic studies remain limited and questions remain open about the author himself (judge, historian and poet?), about his sources – including the essential Trojan novel in verse by Benoît de Saint Maure –, about the construction and style of his work and about its intents in a particularly troubled period. While significant progress has been made in recent years, studies are far from being exhaustive and the case deserve to be considered anew. Historia's interest lies in particular in the translations, adaptations and summaries it generated throughout Europe until the 17^th century. This international conference aims thus to shed new lights on the original text as well as on the diversity of its appropriations, between filiation and emancipation. In this regard, the spectacular diffusion has contributed to strenghten a Trojan European literature.
