Courts and Courtly Cultures in Early Modern Italy and Europe
Models and Languages
The conference will focus on the topic of court culture in Lombardy and North Italy, within the conceptual framework of the SNF Sinergia project: Constructing identity: visual, spatial, and literary cultures in Lombardy, 14th to 16th centuries. This interdisciplinary project, which includes five research unities in the Universities of Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, and EPFL at Lausanne, works on Visconti and Sforza ages, when Lombardy, one of the most important European regions, established itself as a distinct political and cultural entity. It has been an exemplary case of the construction of a cultural identity, whose repercussions still resonate in present-day Italy. As a part of a potent political project, it has been sustained by complex mechanisms of self-representation and the imposition of a prestige taste. The conference will conclude the research of the Sinergia project discussing its results in a wider historical, literary, architectural and artistic context and verifying its methodological approaches at the light of multiple points of view.

Perspectives from India and Russia
Projeté à l’occasion de la réunion des sections des langues orientales et slaves de l’université de Lausanne, ce colloque vise à explorer la notion des « marges » de l’orientalisme dénoncé par Edward Saïd en plaçant au centre des réflexions quelques cas de figures qui sont demeurés hors de la critique post-coloniale. Mettant en parallèle le cas anglo-indien, souvent présenté comme emblématique de l’« orientalisme classique », et le cas russo-soviétique, à la fois objet de l’orientalisme européen (et pour cette raison stigmatisé comme « euro-asiatique ») et producteur d’un discours « orientaliste », cette rencontre vise à décentrer le regard des espaces impériaux franco-britanniques pour le rediriger vers des comparaisons moins traditionnelles, tant à l’égard des histoires respectives des études orientalisantes, que par rapport aux mécanismes de l’orientalisation et des exotisations.
