From vegetables to the Hortus Conclusus. The medieval garden in all its forms
14e study days by the Young Medievalist Researchers (JCM)
From an interdisciplinary and multilingual perspective, these study days will be devoted to the theme of the medieval garden. Whether they were for food or pleasure, courtly or philosophical, for love or medicine, Hortus Conclusus or Deliciarum, medieval gardens were a world to be explored and cultivated in all their aspects.

Deposits of metal objects in archaeological contexts during Late Antiquity
Ce colloque sur les dépôts d’objets métalliques en contexte archéologique durant l’Antiquité tardive dans les provinces gauloises et limitrophes a pour objectif de discuter de la nature et de l’interprétation de ces ensembles, qu’ils aient été déposés à des fins de thésaurisation, de récupération ou rituelles. Une attention particulière sera portée aux contextes de découverte. Ce colloque s’intéressera aux dépôts comportant uniquement des objets métalliques et à ceux qui associent des objets métalliques et de d’autres type de matériaux, qu’ils s’agissent de dépôt simple (avec un seul type d’objets) ou complexe (avec plusieurs catégories fonctionnelles d’objets déposés), en milieu terrestre ou humide entre le IIIe s. et le Ve s. dans les Gaules et dans les provinces voisines (Germanie, Hispanie, Italie, Bretagne).

On the Roads of Arabia: Itineraries by Land and Sea
From the Bronze Age to the Islamic Period
The aim of the symposium is to study the overland and maritime routes of the Arabian Peninsula and the exchanges they made possible, through archaeology, history, philology, religion and life sciences. This topic will be addressed in the longue durée, from the Bronze Age to the Islamic period. The symposium will also examine the networks of exchanges with border regions such as the Indian subcontinent, the Horn of Africa and Egypt, as well as the empires of the Ancient Near East, and the Greek and Roman empires.

Du suffragium au suffrage : un héritage ?
une étude pluriséculaire d'une notion énigmatique
This colloquium will bring together linguists, historians from different historical periods and political scientists to revisit and explore the more sinuous than expected path that led from the suffragium of the Roman Republic to contemporary suffrage, with particular emphasis on the intermediate stages - Late Antiquity, Middle Ages, Modern Age - stages that have been little studied until now.

45th International Days of the French Association of Merovingian Archaeology
En 2018, lors des 39e Journées internationales de l’Association Française d’Archéologie Mérovingienne consacrées à L’archéologie de la construction au haut Moyen Âge, plusieurs communications ont questionné nos connaissances sur la construction des lieux de culte durant le haut Moyen Âge. Les 45e Journées Internationales de l’Association Française d’Archéologie Mérovingienne aborderont donc la question de L’architecture religieuse de l’Antiquité tardive à la fin du XIe siècle en Europe. Elles ont pour objectif d’essayer d’élaborer un état des lieux sur ce thème et d’ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives de recherche sur l’architecture, l’organisation spatiale et fonctionnelle des édifices ecclésiaux du premier Moyen Âge.

Media, Style, and Uses of Funerary Poetry (9th-12th Cent.)
The passing of someone gives rise to a variety of written productions, especially poetic compositions: laments (planctus), epitaphs, and titles of mortuary rolls. At first sight, the distinctive feature of funerary poetry is thematic: death underpins its unity. Despite their discursive proximity, funerary poems distinguish themselves through the means of both formal (metrical, rhythmic poetry, or oral performance) and material criteria (codex, rotulus, stone). The aim of these sessions is to study poetic expressions of mourning in the light of their medium, their style and their usage. Our purpose is to question the notion of funerary poetry through the study of its various poetic manifestations, while pondering its production and reception: what are the precursory elements? What remains the same over the course of the following centuries? Why is it more appropriate to talk about a transformation or a clear break?

Experiencing urban crisis in the Middle Ages
To respond to the IMC Leed 2024 theme, Crisis, we propose to study urban crisis in the Middle Ages as a lived experience, which was made through specific sensations, emotions and actions. In a multi-sessions panel, we propose to examine what is needed to build an experience of crisis, and what makes it so powerful. We will also consider the sources and methods used by scholars, in order to question the phenomenology of this common lived-experience, which was lived by all but described only by the elite.

On Asceticism: Crossing Traditions, New Perspectives
L’idée du colloque est de réunir des spécialistes issus de divers horizons disciplinaires, culturels et de genres, pour discuter de l’ascétisme. Au lieu de se concentrer sur l’évolution linéaire de certaines traditions ascétiques dans la philosophie occidentale, l’objectif est de souligner la multiplicité et la mutabilité de l’ascétisme au sein et au-delà des traditions occidentales. Outre les débats philosophiques et religieux de longue date sur l’ascétisme, nous accueillerons également des articles qui traitent de l’ascétisme dans un contexte contemporain, tel que la création et la critique artistiques, la santé et le bien-être, ou l’engagement dans les problèmes urgents de l’environnement.

Conference, symposium - Prehistory and Antiquity
This international symposium brings together transdisciplinary researchers in order to renew the outlook on European Protohistory. Protohistoric societies having left few texts, can sites or artefacts tell us about the immaterial production of knowledge? Recent researches on comparatism, in archaeoastronomy, ethnomathematics, paleopathology or bioarchaeology, show that these societies produced knowledge and transmitted it, raising the question of the exchange of this knowledge and technologies. The texts produced by the contemporaries of the Celts show a complex and codified culture, corroborated by the found artefacts. Our gaze must therefore depart from a disciplinary compartmentalization, researches combining archaeology, astronomy, artificial intelligence, mathematics, provide interesting answers on this question.

The Invention of Greek origins in the textual and visual cultures of pre-modern Europe (1100-1600)
The ERC Advanced Grant AGRELITA Project studies the Reception of Ancient Greece in pre-modern French Literature and Illustrations of Manuscripts and Printed Books (1320-1550) : How invented memories shaped the identity of European communities. These workshops aim to explore the uses, functions and purposes of the discourses on Greek origins and the polysemy of this concept between 1100 and 1600, in European textual, visual and material cultures, hinging on the following questions : how the authors and artists considered the notion of origin(s)? What both unites and distinguishes it from heritage ? Why Greeks ? Which Greece(s) are thought of as origins ? Whose origins are these ? What modalities of representation and what processes of appropriation appear? For what purposes and for what audiences?

The term “ritual” covers a wide field of medieval activities referring to repeated and often formal behaviour that combine cognitive processes with physical actions. Whether carried out in privacy or in public, medieval rituals invariably had a social function; they were performed for and in interaction with audiences, whose presence may have been tangible or superhuman. The performative aspect involved a shared experience of visible, audible and, in all, sensory practices that gave form to the rituals. The colloquium gathers together specialists from various fields to discuss the theory and practice of rituals in medieval culture.

In the High and Late Middle Ages, the border region between the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire was a dynamic space not only in terms of territorial politics, but also in economic, religious, social and cultural terms, which always requires cross-border work in historical research. Despite this elementary precondition, there is currently a lack of cross-national and cross-language exchange, especially for young academics. In order to meet this need, we would like to invite MA graduates and young researchers to present their current research projects to a professional audience and to discuss them within the setting of a young researchers’ conference.

6th International Doctoral Days of “Transitions” (ULiège)
On the 5th and 6th of May, 2022, the sixth edition of the Research Unit Transitions (Research Department on the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period)’s international Doctoral Days will be held at the University of Liège. Organised in partnership with the Centre d’études supérieures de civilisation médiévale (CESCM) of the University of Poitiers, these days will be structured around the theme of authenticity. The notion of authenticity is by its very nature polysemous and complex to define. The aim of these Doctoral Days is to examine authenticity in its various meanings and according to the various methodological approaches pertaining to different fields of research. The presentations will be oriented according to two distinct, but complementary axes: “The object to the test of time” and “Authenticity, a guarantee of truth?”.

Comparative perspectives on the Christianisation of northern Gaul
Late antiquity - High Middle Ages (4th-10th centuries)
La nécessité d’une approche interdisciplinaire pour l’étude de la christianisation n’est plus à démontrer. C’est probablement le croisement des points de vue sur le sujet des archéologues, historiens et philologues associés aux chercheurs en paléo-sciences qui a permis le renouvellement salutaire de la problématique ; c’est de ce même partage que jailliront assurément de nouveaux modèles d’interprétation du phénomène. La dixième journée d’étude du GC FNRS Translatio se propose de faire le point sur les différentes orientations données aux recherches menées durant la dernière décennie sur la christianisation du nord de la Gaule, espace dans lequel ce phénomène passe pour superficiel et en retard par rapport à la partie méridionale de la Gaule.

Medieval musicology conference
Les rencontres de musicologie médiévale répondent au désir d’insuffler une dynamique disciplinaire, scientifique et humaine à la communauté des médiévistes français et francophones. Ces rencontres annuelles, dont la première édition s’est tenue à Paris en juin 2021, sont un lieu d’échanges entre musicologues médiévistes, chercheurs des disciplines connexes, ainsi que divers acteurs de la musique et de la musicologie médiévales.

Exhibiting medieval painting in the light of day
Ce colloque part de l’hypothèse suivante : l’œuvre picturale façonne voire construit tant le lieu dans lequel elle est présentée que l’observateur à qui elle s’adresse. Là où cette rencontre est entravée, l’expérience et la compréhension de l’œuvre risquent d’être profondément perturbées. La manifestation et le sens d’une œuvre ne sauraient être indépendants de ses conditions de présentation. Pour l'explorer, ce colloque réunit philosophes, historiens de l’art et professionnels des musées (architectes, restaurateurs et éclairagistes).
