  Inventar Alfonso

  Innovaciones y novedades en el campo de estudios alfonsíes

  Les études récentes relatives à Alphonse X constituent un profond renouveau de la connaissance que nous avons aujourd'hui du monarque. De nombreuses pistes permettant une juste appréciation de la réalité alphonsine ont ainsi pu être identifiées. Grâce à la collaboration de l'Université de Birmingham et plus particulièrement du Estoria de Espana Project dirigé par le professeur Aengus Ward, l'atelier LEMSO (Littérature Médiévale et du Siècle d'Or, FRAMESPA, CNRS-UMR 5136) de l'Université de Toulouse - Jean Jaurès organise une journée d'études dédiés aux innovations dans le champ des études alphonsines. La journée regroupera de jeunes chercheurs ainsi que des spécialistes du sujet avec pour objectif l'examen de quelques mythes associés à Alphonse X. Nous proposerons de nouvelles erspectives relatives à la connaissance du Roi Savant à partir de travaux et méthodes inédits.

  Purity and Impurity

  Hamsa. Journal of Judaic and Islamic Studies, nº 2

  “Purity” and “Impurity” establish themselves as structural categories in both Islam and Judaism, embracing dimensions as diverse as the body, food, clothing and even space itself. The 2^nd issue of the journal Hamsa will be devoted to this wide-ranging theme, seeking to obtain diachronic historical perspectives. To this effect, we aim to promote the analysis of interfaith relationships, in those instances where purity and impurity are projected in contacts with the Other. Those dimensions concern not only the minorities, but also affect Christianitas itself, through interiorization of these concepts and their application to minority communities (as is the case, for example, with limpeza de sangue - “cleanliness of blood”).

  Knowledges, Sciences, Techniques and State building in Iberian America, 1790-1870

  Over the last few decades the renewal of the history of the sciences has been marked by an opening towards non-European spaces, especially the Iberian Americas, and by the study of the relations between knowledges and power. We now have at our disposal a growing body of work on the imperial sciences, the contribution of the colonies to the advancement of knowledge, more particularly the natural sciences, and on the Enlightenment and the links between sciences, revolutions and independence in the colonial territories. However it is the opposite hypothesis that we seek to explore, highlighting both the modalities by which the legacy of the imperial, colonial Enlightenment was passed on and transformed, and the processes which meant that late 19th century Ibero-American societies, including Brazil and the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, were ready to take full advantage of the new scientistic paradigm with a rapidity that ought to strike us as surprising.
