  Case studies on particular medieval manuscript miscellanies written in any language are welcome at the workshop concentrating especially on three aspects: Composition: How do the contents fit together in specific cases? Is there a plan or a reason behind? If so, what does the selection tells about the compiler’s interests? Authorship: To what degree are the miscellany compilers and gatherers authors? Is there a personal touch discernable and interpretable? Use: How were these manuscripts actually used? Can a specific use of a particular miscellany be detected?Please, send a brief (300-400 words) abstract of the proposed 20-minute paper together with information on your affiliation and research interests to Lucie Doležalová at dolezalova@cts.cuni.cz by December 31, 2008.

  Inaugural Conference of the International Society for Cultural History

  Dans un colloque - qui signifiera le point de départ de la International Society for Cultural History fondée lors d’un colloque sur l’histoire culturelle à Aberdeen en 2007 - s’attaquera à des questions de définition. A partir des travaux fondamentaux de Catherine Belsey, de Peter Burke, de Lynn Hunt, de Philippe Poirier et de Pascal Ory, le colloque tentera de définir la nature exacte de l’histoire culturelle. Quels disciplines, quels paradigmes constituent « l’histoire culturelle ». A-t-on vraiment besoin de cette étiquette ? Et comment la comprendre ? Y a-t-il des histoires culturelles, « nationales » distinctes (britannique, française, allemande, italienne, …) ? Si oui, comment comprendre ces différences ? Comment peut-on enseigner l’histoire culturelle?
