  Spaces of violence in a border region

  Lorraine 1870 - 1962

  Ce colloque s'inscrit dans les recherches historiques et sociologiques qui s'attachent à produire une « description dense » des pratiques de la violence physique. L'objectif principal de cette entreprise est de dévoiler les logiques, les effets structurants de la violence et les formes de communications qui lui sont propres. Nous concentrant sur les différents espaces marqués par la violence en Lorraine entre 1870 et 1962 ainsi que sur les discours qui leur sont liés, nous traiterons notamment la question des ruptures et des continuités d'exercice de la violence physique dans cette région.

  "How I celebrated the End of the World"

  1989 in Central and Eastern European Cinemas

  How do we look at the collapse of Communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe today, 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall? By choosing 1989 as a starting point of reflection, this conference aims at questioning the way documentary and fiction films contribute to the understanding of both past and historical present and to provide a general overview on the relationship between cinema and post/communist society.

  Images of the courtier in Northern European art, 1500-1700

  This panel will address the image of the courtier in the art and architecture of northern European court societies – Germanic countries, Flanders, United Provinces, France and England. While the subject has been widely studied in Italian art history, notably around the key figure of Baldassare Castiglione, it has been less investigated in the study of Northern European art of the Early modern period. The figure of the courtier inspired rich and often contrasting interpretations in Northern European court societies. While perpetuating traditional court culture in France and Flanders, the courtier in England and the Germanic countries embraced emerging social paradigms of the Protestant reform. In societies lacking an official court such as the United-Provinces, the figure of the courtier was largely redefined. Discussions will focus on symbolic forms of the courtier in the visual arts as well as in other disciplines to which the notion of decorum is central such as architecture and the decorative arts.
