  Reconnaissance et légitimité en français

  Instances, stratégies, enjeux

  L’attribution du Prix Nobel de Littérature 2014 à l’écrivain français Patrick Modiano, laquelle succède de peu à celle que s’est vu décerner J-M. Gustave Le Clézio (2008), ne peut se lire qu’en tant que véritable reconnaissance internationale du renouveau de la fiction narrative en langue française, mais aussi, au sens large, de la prégnance de la langue française comme langue de communication dans le monde global, et de création de produits culturels et symboliques, notamment en littérature.

  Study days - Middle Ages

  The study of manufactured objects in medieval archaeology and the study of illuminated manuscripts

  Methodologies compared

  O objetivo deste workshop é comparar, por meio da análise de alguns casos específicos, os métodos científicos utilizados no estudo dos manuscritos iluminados (história da arte) e dos artefactos encontrados no âmbito da arqueologia medieval. Em ambas as áreas os contextos de criação e utilização dos objectos são fundamentais para a sua caracterização e compreensão. A partir de casos específicos tentar-se-á traçar semelhanças e diferenças nos métodos de análise que caracterizam as duas disciplinas históricas. Deste modo pretende-se compreender em que medida é possível adaptar e aplicar metodologias diversas de modo a obter um conhecimento mais profundo do objecto e do seu contexto.

  Digital Humanities in Portugal: building bridges and breaking barriers in the digital age

  Discussion about the role of the Humanities in academia and society has a long history. The confluence of this debate with the changes brought about by digital technology is not new either: one cannot speak of "new technologies" for the Humanities when many researchers turned to digital methods at least four decades ago, in disciplines as diverse as Linguistics, History or Literary Studies. The Conference “Digital Humanities in Portugal” aims precisely to stimulate these intersections, opening up a forum for discussion and sharing of research results or ongoing projects in this field of knowledge.
