The lexicalisation of commercial onomastics - creation, diffusion and integration

Ce colloque se propose de s’interroger sur les processus de lexicalisation des noms de marque et de produit, sur leurs motivations, ainsi que sur la complexité de leur encadrement sémantique. Dans cette perspective, il entend proposer une réflexion sur la morphologie et sur la sémantique des noms de marques et de produit en tenant compte du système morphosémantique de la langue française, forcément en relation avec d’autres langues, tout aussi bien que d’autres éléments structuraux préexistants.

The world of Gennaro Magri - dance, music and opera in the Enlightenment

Danse, musique et opéra dans l’Europe des Lumières

Centré in primis sur l’œuvre de Gennaro Magri (ca. 1735-1780), maître de ballet au Théâtre San Carlo de Naples et auteur du Trattato teorico-prattico del Ballo (1779), ce colloque a pour objectif de se pencher sur la vie et la carrière de Magri en Italie et en Europe, et plus largement de réfléchir sur le rôle de la danse à Naples dans le contexte européen. Dans une perspective théorico-pratique, ce colloque sera le lieu d’un questionnement sur l’histoire, la technique, l’esthétique et la poétique de la danse théâtrale notamment dans ses rapports aux autres arts : il s’agira de réfléchir sur les enjeux culturels et sociaux liés à la relation entre danse noble et danse comique, entre style italien et style français, dans le dialogue interculturel entre les nations.

Into the woods

Overlapping perspectives on the history of “ancient forests”

In ecological, economic and social terms, “ancient forests” play numerous roles. Their definition varies not only from country to country but also according to disciplinary fields. Studying “ancient forests” can involve separating “old-growth forests” from “ancient woodland”, forests that have disappeared and, in the case of “current forests”, those that are not actually very old at all! This conference aims to exchange views and ideas on “ancient forests” including both retrospective and prospective issues. Better understanding their past highlights the key issues of their status, protection and promotion in our current societies and opens up new perspectives about the future of « ancient forests ». Foresters, planners, developers, ecologists, biologists, agriculturalists, geographers, historians, philosophers, ethnologists, cartographers, archaeologists, archaeobotanists, sociologists etc., from all backgrounds, are invited to join this debate about our various and varying concepts of “ancient forests”.

Summer School - History

Economies of quality. People and things in medieval and modern markets

5th summer school of economic history

La V^e école d’été d’histoire économique, qui se réunira à Suse (Piémont, Italie), les 28, 29 et 30 août 2016, aura comme thème « Les économies de la qualité. Les personnes et les choses sur les marchés médiévaux et modernes ». Cette thématique permettra de poursuivre et d’approfondir celles qui ont été développées les années précédentes (la valeur des choses, la pauvreté, les biens communs, les moyens de paiement). La question de la qualité se situe à la croisée de l’histoire et de la sociologie économique, permettant d’aborder aussi bien l’étude de mécanismes productifs et marchands que celle de savoir-faire.

The social responsability of journalists

Comunicazionepuntodoc journal (December 2016)

Ce dossier spécial de Comunicazionepuntodoc, se propose comme un moment de réflexion collective et transnationale sur les tentatives de réaffirmation du rôle des journalistes en général dans les démocraties modernes... Il ne s’agit donc pas de faire une étude sur le traitement médiatique de la diversité, ou d’engager la profession dans une posture militante qui consisterait à promouvoir cette question de la diversité, mais bien d’interroger et de comprendre l’exercice de la profession de journaliste dans cette configuration particulière et ainsi répondre aux défis de nos sociétés contemporaines.

From risk to resilience, from past to present: critical perspectives and comparative approaches

2016 Summer School of the Cluster of Excellence Territorial and Spatial Dynamics (LabEx DynamiTe)

This Summer School will give precedence to exploratory work that does not take the concept of resilience for granted but rather examines the social and historical conditions of its use by the scientific community. Thus, a constant dialogue between past and present case studies shall be offered, involving geographers, sociologists, historians and archeologists. By comparing sites distant in both time and space, common mechanisms that lead to system resilience or on the contrary to major qualitative system reorganizations can be identified.

The Predatory Museum

39th annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) symposium

Have visitors ever wondered how museums acquire the wonderful things they present to the enquiring public? It is certain that some do, but how many would see the museum as a predator? Would they ever recognize the museum activity of acquiring the valued collections that are put on display as the result of a predatory undertaking? It is true that museums are discerning but eager recipients of gifts offered by individuals who cross their threshold and who are willing to donate or bequeath their treasured possessions to their local museum. These ongoing acts of charity aside, museums have other avenues of collection-building which they explore and have done so since their inception.

Building Audiences for the Book in an Age of Media Proliferation

By the book 3

"By the Book 3" brings together scholars from the field of publishing studies, alongside industry professionals, to examine key issues around the digital transformation of the book, as well as to discuss the developing field of publishing studies. If we examine global book production over the last 70 years, there is a clear discrepancy between the growth in population, the number of titles published, and the number of books sold and lent. This divergent trends in book production and consumption pose a set of pressing questions related to the publishing economy, marketing and skills.
