  New Perspectives on Censorship in Early Modern England

  Literature, Politics and Religion

  Placed under the aegis of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), this international conference will reassess the notion and the hermeneutics of censorship in early modern England. How was censorship organized? Did it prevent or promote creativity? Why and when did writers decide to enter "the safe territory of the oblique" (Annabel Patterson)? Participants are invited to provide a variety of interpretative answers and to develop a new understanding of how censorship refashioned the social, political and artistic life of Shakespeare's contemporaries.

  Un Michel-Ange, des Sixtines ?

  L'histoire de l'art à l'épreuve de la voûte de la chapelle Sixtine

  Ces journées d'études se proposent d'interroger le statut de « chef-d'œuvre » de la voûte de la Sixtine en effectuant un retour sur les différentes lectures dont elle a fait l'objet, tout en proposant de nouvelles perspectives d'interprétation. Pourquoi d'une part la voûte de la chapelle Sixtine marque-t-elle une rupture épistémologique et esthétique et pourquoi d'autre part l'histoire de l'art, qui y revient sans cesse, ne parvient-elle pas à s'entendre sur sa signification ?

  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.
