Conference, symposium - Psyche

The religious experience of the ‘disease of the soul’ and its definitions in the early modern period: censorship, dissent and self-representation

Il tema della malinconia, nelle sue diverse declinazioni storico-artistiche, mediche, letterarie, filosofiche, psicologiche costituisce l’oggetto di una vasta letteratura. Del resto, lo stesso termine “malinconia” è un termine polisemico, associato storicamente a una grande varietà di gruppi di significati non sempre assimilabili tra loro. Il seminario intende approfondire le diverse valenze semantiche del termine “malinconia” in ambito religioso in età moderna, sia in campo protestante sia in campo cattolico.

Percorsi di ricerca sulle identità etniche nell'Italia antica

Il tema delle Origines Gentium, posto al centro della riflessione storica a partire dall’omonimo articolo di E. J. Bickerman nel 1952 e più recentemente indagato in tre tavole rotonde tenutesi a Bordeaux nel 1996 e 1997, continua a suscitare l’interesse degli studiosi provenienti da differenti discipline, sia sul versante più tradizionale delle cosiddette "scienze dell’uomo", sia nel campo di quelle naturalistiche. I risultati di questa collaborazione sono stati pubblicati nel volume Le Origini degli Etruschi. Tale pubblicazione e i temi in essa affrontati offrono lo spunto all’Istituto di studi sul Mediterraneo antico del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (ISMA) e all’École française de Rome per promuovere, in questo contesto dinamico di studi e ricerche, una giornata di studio finalizzata a riflettere intorno a questi argomenti legati alle "Origini", allargando il campo di indagine a Roma, al mondo italico e magnogreco, all’interno di una prospettiva mediterranea.

The Church and the City, 50 years after the II Vatican Council

50 years after the II Vatican Council a time series analysis of what has been done so far in the field of architecture can be attempted: the number of interpretations given to the Council directives regarding both architecture and urbanism should be approached in a critical way, as well as their relevance today. Through practical examples, the purpose of the seminar is to think about and investigate the role of the Church in the complex urban reality of today. Starting from the assumption that the much debated issue of the Church identity directly refers to need of the Christian community to identify itself in the architectural forms, the main theoretical and methodological topic of the seminar will be the study of the different ways in which ecclesial communities can express themselves and find their identity today, always keeping in mind the multiculturalism which shapes the European cities today more than ever before.

Prime Minister and Patron : Heinrich Count von Brühl (1700-1763)

International Conference on the 250th anniversary of the death of Heinrich Count Brühl

The 250^th anniversary of the death of Heinrich Count von Brühl will be taken as an opportunity to assess the field of research on this controversial valued patron and collector, and to identify further areas of investigation. A central point of inquiry of this conference is Brühl’s patronage: Brühl built up not only numerous collections, but was also an important patron for domestic and foreign painters, sculptors and architects. Brühl used a network of specialized art agents and artists for internationally competitive extension and development of its own and the court collections. The aim of this conference will be to carry out a comparative and synthetic analysis of both unpublished sources and material that has not yet been systematically considered.

Beyond intolerance: the evolution of imperial religious politics and the encounter of Milan 313AD

Historical and ideological premises and developments before the arrival of Julian the Apostate

Dans ce colloque de jeunes chercheurs et doctorants, on souhaite questionner la véritable nature de la mesure constaninienne communément connue sous le nom de « édit de Milan », bien que son historicité ait été mise en doute de plus parts. Notre but est celui de comprendre les relations entre religion et droit à l'époque constantinienne, les prémisses qui portèrent à la fin des persécutions anti-chrétiennes et le développements successifs jusqu'au règne de Julian l'Apostat et sa courte « restauration » païenne. Pour y arriver, on analysera le contexte culturel, social, politique de la période en question, au même temps que la situation proprement religieuse de l'Empire.

Subjective dimensions of social vulnerability

Au-delà de consolider les connaissances sur la vulnérabilité dans ses différentes dimensions, ce séminaire international vise à déterminer un ensemble d'indicateurs, soit quantitatif soit qualitatif à vérifier dans la recherche transnational. Il s’agit de comprendre comment les sujets vivent de plus en plus individuellement au quotidien cette condition inédite « d'instabilité stable » et l’exposition aux nouveaux risques, thématiques qui seront au centre du séminaire que nous allons proposer.

Dialoghi tra teatro e neuroscienze

Quinto Convegno Internazionale

Per il quinto anno consecutivo, la Sapienza Università di Roma accoglierà artisti, performer, registi, studiosi e neuroscienziati, provenienti da diversi centri di ricerca europei e statunitensi in occasione del Convegno Internazionale Dialoghi tra teatro e neuroscienze.Dall’antropologia teatrale alla neuroestetica, dagli studi sull’empatia alle ricerche sull’intersoggettività, passando dagli studi sulla cognizione motoria, sulla memoria, sulle emozioni, sui neuroni specchio e sulle terapie alternative. In che modo l’incontro interdisciplinare cambia le discipline coinvolte? In che modo i saperi teatrali possono influenzare le ricerche delle neuroscienze? In che modo le informazioni e i paradigmi neuroscientifici possono modificare le ricerche tanto performative quanto accademiche delle culture teatrali? Tutto questo sarà al centro dei due giorni di confronto, dibattito e contaminazione arricchiti da una serata di conferenza/spettacolo, che si terrà al teatro Piccolo Eliseo Patroni Griffi giovedì 6 giugno.

Identity ideologies, nationalisms, conflicts: Europe 1870-1922

The fifty years that go from the Franco-Prussian War to the end of the Great War and the advent of fascism in Italy (early and precursor totalitarian swing in post-war Europe) marks a new phase in representing the ideology of the ‘nation’ and the ‘nature of peoples’. The cultural processes which, between 18^th and 19^th centuries, had been used as consistent ideological repertoire for the political foundation of modern European nations, supported from the second half of the 19^th century, the rapid nationalistic involution of national politics, functional to colonial expansionism and to the ruling continental objectives, but also to withstand and repress internal social conflicts. A cultural and political transition from romantic patriotism to imperialistic nationalism (that which Muarizio Virali has concisely defined “nationalization of patriotism”), for which those that had generally been considered simple differences of character, customs, and social habits between the peoples of nations are transformed into irreconcilable contrasts: the national state is the emanation of a homogeneous people, of a race, and the unshakeable otherness of the foreigner reflects and consolidates this belief. Making use of the instruments provided by disciplines such as socio-psychology, social anthropology, biology, social Darwinism, and with the approximate simplifications of those like Gobineau, Chamberlain, Nordau, Langbehn etc., it is believed that the character of peoples may be defined and thus mark national identities within an all absorbing viewpoint.
