Wonderment, margins and marginality in literature and in profane illuminations
In France and southern regions (12th-15th century)
Le merveilleux médiéval est l’objet de différents essais de catégorisation de la part des chercheurs, littéraires ou historiens. Dans le cadre de ces journées d’études, le concept de merveilleux est entendu dans sa dimension profane comme un objet, un être, une situation, un phénomène visuel littéralement extraordinaire et irrationnel, divergeant des valeurs de référence du lecteur et provoquant une réaction spécifique : l’étonnement. Le rapport du merveilleux aux marges, concrètes ou abstraites, dans les textes et les manuscrits enluminés médiévaux mérite une étude spécifique. Comment le merveilleux s’inscrit-il et s’exprime-t-il dans la marge, comprise à la fois dans un sens littéral (ce qui est dans la marge) et dans un sens figuré (ce qui est en marge) ? La littérature profane et son illustration, qui se développent particulièrement entre les XIIe et XVe siècles, dans le royaume de France et les régions septentrionales du monde occidental, constituera notre objet d’étude privilégié.

Environmental approaches of interactions between cities and forest supplies during the Middles Ages and the Early modern period. 12th International Conference on urban History, European Association for Urban History – Main Session M16
As places of consumption and production European medieval and early modern cities exerted a enormous pressure on neighbouring woodlands. Some historical studies have already discussed the way cities tried to impone their control on these lands emphasizing the diversity of needs which were fulfilled by forest exploitation (wood, timber, charcoal, grazing…). They often concluded that urban pressure resulted in an inexorable degradation of the forest cover. Indeed local woodlands and forests products could probably never meet the demand. In order to face shortage or, better, to prevent it, urban authorities attempted on one hand to extend their control on more and more distant forests and to attract interregional or « international » trade flows. On the other hand, they tried to regulate the local market so as to ensure access to several important needs regarding urban economy (charcoal, timber).

Research relating to the late Middle Ages and early modernity
Rencontre doctorale
Since the development of universities to the changes caused by Galilean science, Europe has experienced constant questionings which challenge its political balances and their legitimations, which undermine the foundations of confessional unity and move the borders of knowledge and creation. Trying to transcend the divisions inherited from a long historiographical tradition, the research department Transitions addresses the mutations which characterize the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period (14th-17th centuries). Resolutely multidisciplinary, this department intends to enlarge our interests to the constellation of factors which contributed to the political and cultural construction of the frames within which we still define ourselves today.

Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment
International Medieval Congress
Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.

Sport and Education from the Ephebe to the Teenager
In every age, from ancient Greece to contemporary societies, sport has always had close and significant links to the world of education. The gymnasium of the ancient world fulfilled a threefold purpose as a space of the celebration of the body, sensory education and physical training. The twentieth century has seen a partial renewal in sports education in accordance with ideas and proposals influenced by, and occasionally the subject of controversy among, the Olympic movement, sporting associations, the institution of school, and youth movements. Sports education, then, involves issues and concerns encompassing the civic, military, health, practical and, most markedly, political spheres. The historiography of sports education has experienced profound transformations over the last decade, seeing changes in its sources, its subjects and its approaches. This session will be devoted to an account of the most exciting directions it is taking today.

Art-Hist International Medieval Congress Leeds 2014 sessions
Around the notion of imperial art
The theme of the next Leeds International Medieval Congress in 2014 is “Empire". The Art-Hist project would like to explore topics dealing with “Imperial images and shapes: historical and historiographical approaches” and try to answer some questions: Does an imperial art exist during Carolingian or Ottonian Empire? How can it be defined? What can recall or evoke, in medieval works of art, the idea or concept of Empire? How does this principle of evocation work in artistic creation? How did emperors use these forms or images to build their own power and history?

Objects of Memory, Memory of Objects
The Artworks as a Vehicle of the Past in the Middle Ages
This PhD student conference deals with the objects and their memory. Its principal aim is to reconsider the memorial objects in their context, as well as the memory of particual objects. In fact, some treasure pieces are said to have been owned or donated by a prestigious person (bishop, martyr or emperor) but these pieces or legends appear years after the death of this person. In this case, the object creates the memory, and the prestige of the institution which owns them. We will try to discuss, with these goals in mind, the ideas of memory and oblivion.

Port zones: planning, restoration, rehabilitation from Antiquity to the present day
Les journées d’étude de la SFHU (société française d’histoire urbaine) se tiendront les 16 et 17 janvier 2014, à l’université de Caen Basse-Normandie et sont organisées en collaboration avec le centre de recherche d’histoire quantitative (UMR 6583 CNRS / UCBN). La thématique retenue cette année invite à réfléchir aux liens entre les installations portuaires et la ville. Port au cœur de la ville, existence d’avant-ports dissociés de l’espace urbain, les schémas et leurs évolutions sont multiples depuis les époques anciennes et les mutations des espaces portuaires nombreuses. Cette thématique, conçue dans une perspective chronologique et géographique large, trouve un écho particulier dans les territoires de l’ouest de la France, et spécialement de Normandie, où les questions de rapports entre les espaces portuaires et le tissu urbain ont orienté les politiques d’aménagement.

On the dynamics of production (Distraction/Interference – Resistance/Accident)
In ordinary terms, the word production refers to an act of creation and its result, or to a process at the end of which there is a materialisation of some kind, or to the act of making something present. By productively interfering with this common idea of productionwe would like to work towards establishing different ways of thinking about this concept.
Distraction and Interference as well as Resistance and Accident are exemplary categories of the unexpected moments that may or may not take place in the course of production. They remind us that production cannot be reduced to the momentum of "achieving a product". Rather, these categories help to reveal the physical presence of those who produce, the materiality of the objects involved and the unforeseen effects of the "product". Furthermore, they allow us to question the alleged linearity of the processes that form part of production. Thereby, Distraction, Interference, Resistance and Accident make us aware to what extent production involves a "lived" and "living" tension between the producer and what is being produced, between the subject and the world.

Sixth conference on "new approaches to funerary archaeology"
À la suite de ses précédentes rencontres, le Groupe d’anthropologie et d’archéologie funéraire (Gaaf) souhaite poursuivre son tour d’horizon des approches qui caractérisent actuellement la recherche en archéologie funéraire. Ces « nouvelles approches » se définissent tant du point de vue des problématiques que des méthodes mises en œuvre pour y répondre. Les différentes sessions proposées tenteront, à travers les spécificités de chaque thème abordé (archéosciences, crémation, petit mobilier, actualités), de discuter des nouveaux questionnements autour des vestiges funéraires et des méthodologies nouvelles qui les ont motivés ou qu’ils motivent eux-mêmes dans une dialectique permanente.

The origins of the artist in medieval and modern Europe (1300-1600)
Artists in the city, artists in the royal court - the status, skills and conditions of art
Ce colloque vise à interroger la place de l’artiste / artisan à la fin du Moyen Âge et au début de l’époque moderne dans divers contextes sociaux, en particulier à la ville et / ou à la cour, au sein des corporations et / ou dans l’hôtel du prince. Un certain nombre d’artistes ont répondu à des commandes dans ces deux sphères habituellement jugées distinctes, tels Jean Fouquet, Rogier van der Weyden, Albrecht Dürer, Hans Plock, Jacques Jordaens et Bernard van Orley, pour n’en nommer que quelques-uns. Certains artistes travaillant pour le prince ne détenaient qu’un titre honorifique et leur rattachement à la cour n’était qu’épisodique. Aux yeux des organisateurs de ce colloque, le moment semble opportun de questionner l’hypothèse centrale du livre de Martin Warnke (Hofkünstler. Zur Vorgeschichte des modernen Künstlers, Cologne, 1985 / 1996), qui situe l’origine de l’autonomisation de la conscience artistique non dans le cadre corporatif de la ville, générateur de contraintes, mais plutôt au sein de la cour, grâce à la position privilégiée occupée par l’artiste auprès du prince dès les XIIIe et XIVe siècles. Au regard des recherches menées depuis une trentaine d’années, est-il justifié, aujourd’hui, d’opposer de manière aussi tranchée le monde urbain et la cour, les deux terrains de prédilection du formidable développement artistique qui caractérise l’Europe occidentale durant cette longue période (1300-1600) ?

Practices of writing in Cistercian abbeys (12th century – mid-16th century)
Produce, exchange, control, conserve
La célébration en 2015 du neuvième centenaire de la fondation de Clairvaux donne l’occasion de soumettre la diversité du monde cistercien au prisme de ses productions d’écriture, en resserrant l’examen sur l’écrit « pragmatique ». Ce colloque international se focalisera sur l’écrit diplomatique, administratif et de gestion, sans exclure des incursions dans les domaines comptable, épistolaire ou liturgique. Le périmètre de l’étude englobera les monastères cisterciens d’hommes et de femmes dans l’ensemble de l’Occident entre le XIIe et le milieu du XVIe siècle.
