  Episcopal, Canonical and Secular Memorial Devices in Medieval Cathedrals

  Art, Architecture, Liturgy and Writing

  TEMPLA invites international researchers into medieval art history and related disciplines to debate the concept and expression of “dynamic episcopal and canonical commemoration” which occurred in European episcopal sees during the medieval period. The concept of commemoration goes beyond the funerary to include all those works, activities and uses of space that transmit through time a record of bishops and canons, their institutions, and important lay people. These commemorative works, however, were grafted onto a common setting that was in use over a long period of time. Thus, each cathedral setting witnessed the emergence of different dynamics in terms of the interactions and intersections between individual and/or collective memory.

  Study days - Middle Ages

  Two religions beneath the same roof

  The history of pluri-confessional families in the Middle Ages in the Iberian Peninsula

  Ces journées d’étude abordent des questions portant sur les familles à composante pluri-religieuse. Nonobstant les travaux consacrés aux groupes religieux dans les sociétés multiconfessionnelles qui, le plus souvent, opposent ces « communautés » présentées comme des blocs monolithiques, l’histoire a le devoir de mettre au jour le vécu singulier de chaque individu. L’étude des minorités ne peut se réduire au collectif, au général. Si l’historien aime à dresser des tableaux synoptiques d’une période, d’un lieu, ici l’occasion sera offerte de s’interrogersur ces stratégies discursives. Le groupe religieux d’appartenance des individus peut constituer un tout, mais n’oublions pas que les familles et les individus en réalisent les parties.
