Caring for Madness in Medieval and Early Modern Europe: Approaches, Practices, and Representations
Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this conference seeks to examine the perception, treatment, and representation of individuals affected by madness in the medieval and early modern periods, whether madness took the diverse forms of melancholy, possession, wandering, or unreason. To this end, it proposes to engage with the contemporary notion of care, understood as an ethics of care, and to historicize it beyond its modern conceptual framework, in order to reassess the relationship to vulnerability and dependency (and interdependency), as well as the dialectic between assistance and marginalization in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

The Bible in the Managment of Material Life in Christian Societies (4th-16th Centuries)
The BibGes workshop and congress aim to highlight the embeddedness of sociopolitical mechanisms in beliefs from the 4th to the 16th century, across the various structures of Christian communities (Byzantine, Latin, Coptic, and Ethiopian). Historians, legal historians, and art historians are invited to submit papers for investigations into what may be considered an interface between pragmatic writings—those serving administration and the transmission of goods and individuals—and the Sacred Scriptures, both as text and as the Book.

Neuchâtel
Many cultures express devotion toward objects that appear remarkably similar: footprints in stone said to have been left by celestial figures. This workshop, organized at the University of Neuchâtel on October 22–23, 2026, aims to move beyond this impression of déjà vu and to highlight the specific characteristics of devotional practices associated with such traces in Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Living and Dwelling in the Mediterranean Space: Practices, Representations, and Environment
Les sociétés méditerranéennes d’aujourd'hui ne peuvent être comprises sans le poids des configurations héritées, ni sans la radicalité des ruptures en cours. Ce dialogue entre les temps est en lui-même un objet de recherche. Par la richesse de ses axes thématiques et l’ambition de son programme scientifique, ce colloque international est une invitation à transgresser les frontières disciplinaires sans les effacer, à articuler les temporalités sans les confondre, et à penser la Méditerranée non comme un simple arrière-plan géographique, mais comme un espace vécu, construit et perpétuellement réinventé par ses habitants. Ce colloque ambitionne de rassembler des chercheurs (historiens, archéologues, anthropologues, géographes, sociologues, urbanistes) afin de croiser les regards sur une même réalité complexe.

Exercer le pouvoir au féminin (1226-1252)
Given the exceptional position held by Blanche of Castile, widow of the late Louis VIII and mother of the new king, powerful woman, within Latin Christendom for nearly a quarter of a century, the anniversary of the start of her ‘regency’ seemed to us a fitting occasion to highlight recent advances in the historiography of Blanche of Castile. This conference therefore aims to shed light on his reign – from the scale of his personal domain to that of Latin Christendom – and his life’s journey, from his Castilian origins to his final resting place in the abbeys of Maubuisson and Le Lys, and indeed right up to the present day.

Senecta ista iuuenilis est, senecta ista uiridis est
Crossed perspectives between youth and old age in sources of Greek and Latin languages
At a time when debates are intensifying on the reversal of the age curve in Europe and, more broadly, in the Western world, the notions of “youth” and “old age”, considered as social categories, strongly resurface. However, these categories—for which consensual definitions may be lacking—are far from neutral.

Les habitants en assemblées (Europe, XIIe-XVIIIe siècle)
Ce colloque international a pour but d’éclairer la place des assemblées d’habitants de la fin du Moyen Âge. À l’écart, en collaboration ou en opposition avec les gouvernements communaux, les assemblées d’habitants ont parfois été définies comme des lieux d’une « démocratie médiévale » en réunissant les chefs de famille d’un même lieu. Cette question permet d’aborder le rôle des assemblées au Moyen Âge et de la participation politique, et ainsi de renouveler notre compréhension des interactions entre gouvernement local et participation citoyenne médiévale. La dimension militaire de ces assemblées, de même que leur définition dans les textes juridiques et politiques pourront également être approfondies.

Scandal in Italian Society (1350-1530): norms, transgressions, and representations
Cahiers d’études italiennes
This thematic issue of Cahiers d’études italiennes aims to examine both the polysemy and social functions of scandal in Italy in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance (1350-1530), combining approaches from history, literature, art history, political philosophy, and law. Contributions will focus primarily on Italian society, but contributions addressing cases of scandal related to Italy or Italian personalities are also welcome.

Rereading, (re)emergence, appropriation: What is to be done with the art of the past?
The writings of art historians, like the works of art themselves, are a place of emergence, return, and incessant reinterpretation. This dialogue between periods at the heart of both artistic creation and the narrative of our discipline will be the subject of the 2026 edition of the Ecole de Printemps. Proposals for papers could present case studies, where a work or body of work quotes, repeats, adopts, or readapts earlier images, objects, or monuments. They might analyse historiographical reinterpretations by considering them as transhistorical interventions and reappropriations – whether textual, visual or museum-based.

Omens, Thresholds, and Signs of Crisis in the Historiographical Construction of the Event
In a historical moment marked by political upheavals, social crises, environmental catastrophes, wars, and new forms of collective mobilization, reflecting on the conscious choices — and the conscious non-choices — that precede moments of historical rupture becomes a useful and necessary tool for understanding the deep connection between decision and transformation.The 2026 Student Conference seeks to shift the focus away from the final event to investigate the acts that immediately precede it and to ask whether it is possible to explore, with historical awareness, the suspended moment before rupture : the moment before the last straw.

Questes Seminar
Le séminaire de Questes, groupe de jeunes chercheurs médiévistes, prend pour thématique cette année les amitiés médiévales. Nous nous intéresserons autant aux théorisations philosophiques et théologiques de l’amitié au Moyen Âge qu'aux façons dont les médiévaux pratiquaient l’amitié et la réprésentaient dans les arts (littératures, arts graphiques, arts textiles, sculpture...).
