The Palace of the Prince-Bishops of Liège in the Sixteenth Century: Power, Culture and Architecture in the Renaissance

This conference offers a fresh perspective on the Palace of the Prince-Bishops of Liège in the 16th century, examining it as a place of power, representation, and artistic creation. Drawing on a critical re-examination of the archives and a material analysis of the monument, the conference will explore the political, cultural, and architectural ambitions that shaped the palace. Structured around three themes—historical and diplomatic context, artistic and intellectual dynamics, and a study of construction sites, materials, and techniques—it aims to convey the full complexity of this iconic site in the history of the Principality of Liège.

The Changing City in Roman and Late Antique Africa: Actors and Scales of Transformation

Ce colloque s’inscrit dans le renouvellement des études sur l’urbanisme provincial romain, stimulé par les approches postcoloniales et par une attention accrue portée aux acteurs locaux. Appliquée à l’Afrique du Nord, cette perspective trouve dans l’épigraphie un terrain d’expression privilégié : les mutations urbaines y sont souvent perceptibles à travers des changements de titulature, des réajustements institutionnels, l’apparition ou la disparition de collèges civiques, ou encore la transformation des pratiques honorifiques.

Before the Last Straw

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.

Figures of naturalism

Perspective Journal, no. 2027 – 1

At a time when ecology has become a major preoccupation and a key issue in political, economic and social terms alike, art historians have resolutely taken on the questions it raises through a profound renewal of their approach to nature. The term “figures”, in the geometrical and metaphorical sense of forms, singular historical and cultural configurations, calls for identifying, investigating and understanding the different definitions of naturalism that the history of art has produced, depending on their specific intellectual contexts.

Emerging techniques applied to the world of historical and archaeological research

Le séminaire TechnicoTop dérive d’une exigence de l’actualité : il vise à présenter et faire connaître aussi bien des experts dans un domaine très spécialisé que les méthodes et les techniques émergentes appliquées au monde de la recherche, outils nécessaires aujourd’hui à un meilleur développement des projets scientifiques. Son but est de décloisonner les disciplines afin d’optimiser aussi bien les ressources primaires que l’exploitation des résultats de la recherche.

Courtyards and patios in the Mediterranean

The courtyard or patio house, based on the intimate appropriation of a fragment of sky at the heart of the domestic space, is a major archetype of human habitation. Deeply rooted in Mediterranean traditions, it surprises with its longevity and its ability to generate unique expressions, shaped by the diversity of physical and cultural contexts. This archetype, which has spanned the centuries, from the ancient world to contemporary projects, continues to inspire architects, thinkers, and creators, and has regained particular relevance in light of the challenges of the 21st century, as contemporary issues invite us to rethink modes of dwelling. To explore these dimensions, the conference adopts a multidisciplinary approach structured around four cross-cutting themes. It is aimed at a diverse range of profiles—architects, historians, anthropologists, sociologists, archaeologists, artists, writers, climatologists, etc.—drawing on scientific contributions, feedback from architects, and artistic expressions.

Bone objects during the Roman and Early Byzantine periods

Colloquia Anatolica et Aegaea, congressus internationales Smyrnenses XV

Ancient bone objects have been found in relatively large quantities in the entire Mediterranean, from Spain to Syria and Egypt to France, where they were manufactured between the Neolithic and Medieval periods. The art of carving animal bones involves especially antler and horn. However, the spectrum of the worked bone objects recovered from Anatolia, rest of the eastern Mediterranean, Near East, the Black Sea area and Balkans is very varied, and reflects different characteristics of Graeco-Roman and Early Byzantine daily life. In these areas they were also utilised as grave goods secondarily. They were exported or imported over the entire ancient Graeco-Roman and Early Byzantine worlds. In this conference papers dealing with ancient artefacts or objects manufactured by bone, antler, ivory, animal teeth, mother of pearl and cockleshell are included. Focus will be on bone objects between the first century B.C. and the sixth century A.D.

From writing on temples to the digital age: The means of dissemination and construction of history

"Histoire Méditerranéenne" Journal

This call is devoted to the means of disseminating and constructing history, from writing on temples to the digital age. This issue explores how the means of disseminating information have influenced, through the ages, the way history is told, transmitted and interpreted. By combining historical approaches with information and communication sciences, this issue aims to analyse the interactions between communication and historical dimensions across all historical periods, from the earliest times to the present era. This thematic issue seeks to examine the dialectic between mediums of dissemination and the construction of history, highlighting the continuities and ruptures between eras.

Towards a history of the economies of sub-Saharan Africa, from the Middle Ages to the end of the 19th century

Revue « Afriques. Débats, méthodes et terrains d’histoire »

In this issue, we wish to focus on historical approaches - in the broadest sense of the term - which aim to understand economic mechanisms in relation to political, cultural and social phenomena within African societies and in the context of their times, without necessarily addressing their potential links with the present. We wish authors to focus on economic processes that were internal to societies, including interactions with external institutions (and especially imperial institutions), provided that these interactions shed light on the workings of African societies. Our goal is also to consider the documentary challenges facing historians.

Endogenous structures for the conservation of cultural property in Africa in the context of the repatriation of stolen cultural objects

In the historical context of the repatriation of stolen African objects preserved in European museums, little attention has been paid to the endogenous spaces and structures of conservation from which African objects have been extracted since the 15th century. However, the museum institution that Europe seeks to impose on African societies as a solution to their current conservation is a recent initiative and not adapted to African realities. Furthermore, the aim of the debate on the spoliation of African cultural property is not to insist essentially on the problem of provenance or documentation of the stolen objects, even less on the “actors of the theft” or “collectors,” but to question the meaning and significance of African cultural productions in time and space. It is a question of proposing a historical-cultural reading of African societies, contradicting the discourses that disfavor the return of looted objects. The authors and promoters of these discourses, denying the African societies that produced and used these stolen cultural objects, the ability to receive and preserve them properly.
