Venetian Commodities, 13th-16th centuries
What are "Venetian" commodities? More than any other medieval or early modern city, Venice lived off of the trade of portable goods. In addition to trading foreign imports, the city also engaged in intense local production, manufacturing high quality glass, crystal, cloth, metal, enamel, leather, and ceramic objects, characterized by their exceedingly rich forms and complex production processes. Today, these objects are scattered in collections throughout the world, but little remains in Venice itself. In individual instances, it is often difficult to tell whether the objects in question were actually made in Venice or if they originated in Byzantine, Islamic, or other European contexts.

Le colloque propose une confrontation interdisciplinaire sur les représentations du Soi et de l’Autre, réservant une attention particulière à la confrontation des cultures savantes et populaires en République démocratique du Congo. Inspiré par l’expérience du projet « Mémoire de Lubumbashi », ce colloque international vise à renouveler le débat autour du rapport entre culture savante et culture populaire par des contributions à caractère historique et/ou ethnographique sur le passé colonial et postcolonial, et sur les recompositions sociales contemporaines (appartenances régionale / ethnique, rapports entre générations, mutations/redéfinition des rapports de genre).

Approches plastiques du sensible
La peinture semble révéler, avant toute chose, l’expérience sensible du voir. Mais ne peut-elle pas, aussi, dans certains cas, faire percevoir par l’œil quelque chose qui relèverait d’un autre ordre sensoriel ? Peut-on goûter, sentir, entendre, toucher avec les yeux ? Si les spécialistes se sont beaucoup interrogés sur le passage du sensible à l’art – notamment sur la place de la nature dans les œuvres d’art anciennes, où on sait l’importance culturelle qu’y exerçait la mimesis –, le passage de l’art au sensible est, quant à lui, plus rarement considéré.

Banlieues : quelles représentations contemporaines des quartiers « sensibles » ?
Depuis les trente dernières années, le mot banlieue désigne l’inscription territoriale d’une question sociale, comme le souligne l’historienne experte de la banlieue parisienne Annie Fourcaut. Très en vogue dans les débats médiatiques et politiques, notamment depuis les premières émeutes urbaines médiatisées des années 1990 jusqu’à arriver aux plus violentes en 2005, les banlieues entendues comme quartiers « sensibles », semblent rassembler autour d’elles et de leur jeunesse surtout, les connotations les plus disparates et péjoratives : paupérisation socio / économique, ségrégation résidentielle, dégradation du bâtiment, violence et délinquance. Le projet de ce colloque s’inscrit dans ce contexte d’actualité et vise à réfléchir sur les représentations sociales et artistiques contemporaines de ces lieux, incluant la littérature et les arts visuels tels que le cinéma, la photographie et les arts urbains.

Merchants, jurists and other "intermediate groups" in Early Modern Southern Europe
Merchants, farmers, jurists, clerks in large institutions, secretaries, independent landowners, local elites and highly sought master craftsmen, among many others, are individuals with an ambiguous social status. Looking at who was not born exactly noble, nor exactly commoner, but stood on the border between one world and the other, is one of the goals of this initiative. As part of a project developed in Portugal focusing on the Holy Office’s familiaturas, it will be held on September 16 and 17, 2015, a workshop at Escuela Española de Historia and Archaeological in Rome. Our aim is to select a total of 8 applicants, that will be joined by 4 guest speakers, for a joint reflection on the dynamics and profiles of ‘intermediate groups’, as well as on the methodologies for their study in Early Modern Times.

Heraldry in the Medieval City – The Case of Italy in the European Context
A visitor passing through Italy is surprised by the abundance of coats of arms that still decorate the palaces and public monuments of its cities. Relatively undisturbed by the tides of history that destroyed a lot of Europe's heraldic heritage, in the Italian cities this heritage is still alive and well. While the development of heraldic signs occasionally caught the eye of historians and art historians, they have never done justice to the multitude and diversity of the existing sources. Recently, however, research has taken an interest in the subject with renewed vigour and approaches, especially in the case of Italy. The aim of this conference is to establish the current state of research and to advance the subject by linking more closely the history of heraldic communication and the history of cities. To do so, the Italian example shall be put into a European perspective.
