    Conference, symposium - History

    Travel and travellers in Central France - the identity of a region viewed by its visitors. 16th-20th centuries

    L'identité d'une région vue par ses visiteurs, XVIe-XXe siècle

     Au moment où le législateur vient de réaffirmer l'existence de la région Centre en la renommant « Centre - Val de Loire », ce colloque international, organisé par le laboratoire orléanais POLEN (Pouvoirs, lettres, normes), s'intéresse aux représentations de ce territoire véhiculées par des voyageurs - autant français qu'étrangers - depuis la fin du Moyen Âge, afin de déceler d'éventuelles continuités et ruptures, des motifs récurrents et des perspectives divergentes. Il s'agit d'apporter un éclairage nouveau sur la perception et la compréhension de cette région - Touraine, Berry, Orléanais, pays chartrain et blésois - , peu définie par sa géographie, si ce n'est par la proximité de la Loire, et par conséquent ouverte aux interprétations les plus variées.

    Summer School - Epistemology and methodology

    Early printed books: from the Gutenberg invention to the digital revolution

    Published before 1501, the first printed editions, known as incunabula, first captured the interest of booklovers, researchers, and librarians three centuries ago. Today, knowledge of the output from these first fifty years is more widespread as a result of national and international bibliographical research. An inventory of some 30,000 incunabular books has been compiled, representing around fifty million copies that circulated over a period of roughly fifty years. This summer school aims to increase the participants' awareness of the issues surrounding the description, cataloguing and digitisation of incunabula. It is intended to highlight the interest of a scientific approach, for example by focussing on the conditions in which they were produced and on their content, as well as by reconstructing their journey to the present day through the study of their bindings and marks of origin.
