  Practices of critique

  International Graduate Conference

  Practices of critique are intertwined with normative orders in manifold ways. They contain and refer reflexively to critical contentions, and they can enable as well as suppress critique. In this context it is essential to reconstruct the theoretical foundations of critique and power structures as well the practices in which they are instantiated. Three aspects are crucial: firstly concrete forms of power and their application, which always emerge from a tension between normative claims and solidified systems of rule; secondly the purview of justice as the foundation for critical rationale; thirdly the aspect of aesthetic representation. Such themes shall be addressed from multidisciplinary perspectives at the international graduate conference “Practices of Critique” on 5-7 December 2013.

  Study days - Middle Ages

  Paternity at the end of the Middle Ages and early Modern period, 14th-16th century: forms and reforms?

  Die Vaterschaft im Spätmittelalter und in der Frühen Neuzeit (14.-16. Jahrhundert): Formen, Reformen?

  Cette journée d’études portera sur l’histoire de la paternité en Allemagne, en Suisse et en Italie entre le XIV^e siècle et le XVI^e siècle, et sur l’articulation possible entre l’évolution des formes de la paternité et les réformes du temps. En partant de l’étude de sources variées (textes littéraires, livres de famille, images, textes doctrinaux, testaments, etc.) émanant de milieux divers (clercs, patriciens, marchands, lettrés, etc.), on proposera de s’interroger sur la redéfinition des droits et des devoirs des pères, sur les formes de la transmission, sur les mots et les images de la paternité, comme sur les représentations de la masculinité et de la féminité que ces formes de la paternité mettent en jeu.
