    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.

    Literature and the therapy of passions: questioning catharsis

    Il s'agira dans cette enquête collective, de revenir sur les débats et les enjeux associés à la notion de catharsis depuis Aristote; plus largement, on voudrait analyser dans la longue durée les indéterminations sémantiques et axiologiques qui n'ont cessé d'accompagner la réflexion sur les pouvoirs "thérapeutiques" de la tragédie et de la littérature dans son ensemble, au confluent de plusieurs paradigmes (médicaux, poétiques, moraux, politiques...). en suivant les déplacements les plus significatifs de cette problématique d'un siècle à l'autre, et d'un genre à l'autre.
