  History and drama: The pan-European tradition

  DramaNet Conference V

  Rereading Aristotle, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and Demetrius through the lens of contemporary narratology provides scholarship with a potentially fruitful perspective for investigating the relationship between historical narrative and other forms of literature. In particular, the reflections of Dionysius and Demetrius on narrative style at the micro-level, as well as those of Aristotle on history and tragedy as ways of representing knowledge at the macro-level, might enable historians and comparatists to focus on the question of how pan-European historical narratives are related to the drama of their times.

  Study days - History

  A century and a half of diplomatic presence - France and Germany since 1871

  Cette journée d'étude sera l'occasion de retracer un siècle et demi de présence diplomatique française en Allemagne depuis l'unification du Reich. Les lieux de cette présence – Berlin tout d'abord mais aussi Bonn et Munich –, les acteurs et les évolutions des pratiques diplomatiques seront au cœur de la réflexion. Mettant l'accent sur le quotidien des émissaires français, l'expérience de l'immersion en terre allemande et le travail interculturel qu'induit le travail diplomatique, cette journée s'incrit dans le renouveau contemporain de l'histoire de la diplomatie. Elle se déroulera dans un cadre permettant un dialogue, ouvert au public, entre chercheurs et praticiens de la diplomatie.

  Art History for Artists: Interactions Between Scholarly Discourse and Artistic Practice in the 19th Century

  The development of art history as a discipline during the 19^th century has been variously associated with the politics of national identity, the needs of a growing bourgeois public in search of cultural capital, or of an expanding art market. However, the role of art training, and art practitioners themselves in the shaping of the discipline remains unexamined. Courses in art history had been systematically introduced in the curricula of art and architecture academies since the late 18^th century, and spaces of art education count among the first institutional homes of the discipline, well before the establishment of autonomous university chairs. This conference aims to explore the interactions and productive tensions between art practice and art scholarship in the 19^th century.

  The Berlin Airlift

  A Realm of Memory of the Cold War

  Whether or not “the entire world” was looking at Berlin, as Reuter asserted, is one of the central questions to be addressed at our conference. Starting from the “frontline city” of Berlin, we will cast our glance to West Germany and its neighboring countries in order not only to frame the Berlin Airlift as a transnational memorial of the Cold War, but also to address, from outside, the question of whether Berlin was really the international focus of the East-West conflict back then, as the press and academia so often portray it.

  Art history for artists: interactions between scholarly discourse and artistic practice in the 19th century

  The conference seeks to examine the shaping of art history as a discipline during the 19^th century in relation to artistic training and exchanges between artists and scholars. The development of art history has been associated with an array of socio-political and economic factors such as the formation of a bourgeois public, the politics of national identity and state legitimacy or the needs of an expanding art market. This conference aspires to explore yet another, less studied dimension: the extent to which the historical study of art was also rooted in an intention to inform contemporary artistic production.
