The italian fascism through the prism of contemporary arts
Reinterpretations, montages, deconstructions
In a more or less explicit way, daily news bring to our attention the survival of forms and values which rely on fascist imagery. Thinking about fascism through the prism of contemporary arts means to deal with a term whose significance has to be read at least in a double sense: on one hand, the historical experience of the regime that ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943; on the other hand, by extension, the very form of totalitarian power. Contemporary arts’ gaze seems to work on these two different albeit related topics: the Italian fascism as historical event (faced with all the troubles of its memories), and the fascism as the fundamental process of power’s relationship and rituals.

Litany in the Arts and Culture
The litany derives from ancient religious rites. Throughout the ages, however, it spread across many countries and became much more than a mere form of prayer. As has been demonstrated by our recent studies on the litanic forms in European poetry it is possible to reconstruct a cultural and literary map of European regions that traces the level of their participation in and contribution to the litanic tradition. The litanic verse is marked by religious semantics, but it also bears the mark of inter-European divisions, such as those experienced between and within various denominations, countries and nations, as well as the original folk cultures. Therefore, the litany may be of interest to scholars specializing in areas such the emergence of national identities and religious minorities, the crossover between art and religion as well as between music and poetry, the history of liturgy and spiritual life, the cultural exchanges between various nations.

The integration of foreigners and migrants in the States of Savoie since the modern age
Pridaes 11
La problématique de ce colloque, aux profondes racines historique mais aux résonnances très contemporaines, prend d’autant plus de relief dans le cadre des États de Savoie, en raison des expériences que fournit leur histoire d’État frontalier, mais aussi parce qu’ils donnent naissance à l’Italie, où se prolonge jusqu’à nos jours, avec une acuité particulière, la question de l’intégration des étrangers et des migrants. Aussi, le colloque est envisagé sur une longue période, des temps modernes jusqu’à nos jours, dans l’espace géographique des anciens États de Savoie, et en croisant les approches historiques, politiques, sociologiques, institutionnelles et juridiques -

In partibus fidelium. Missions in the Levant and knowledge of Christian Asia (19th-21st centuries)
Inaugural conference of the MisSMO conference: Ecole française de Rome (EFR), Fondazione per le scienze religiose Giovanni XXIII (Fscire), Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Ifao), Institut français d’études anatoliennes (IFEA), Institut français du Proche-Orient (Ifpo), Leiden University, Università di Padova.
Ce colloque international se penchera sur l’assimilation en Europe de connaissances relatives aux cultures chrétiennes-orientales et sur le rôle que les missions ont joué dans ce processus. Ces connaissances nouvelles sont fondées en grande partie sur les travaux menés sur le terrain, au Moyen-Orient, en particuliersur les manuscrits conservés dans les monastères et les patriarcats, et plus généralement sur le patrimoine littéraire, linguistique, archéologique, cartographique et musicologique, des communautés chrétiennes installées.

Giocare tra medioevo ed età moderna. Modelli etici ed estetici per l’Europa
Des études récentes sur l’histoire de la « ludicità » dans l’espace européen ont montré dans quelle mesure « le jouer » en tant qu’acte de parole et d’image représente un observatoire privilégiée permettant de s’interroger sur des questions primordiales dont la portée intellectuelle, politique et sociale a été largement sous-estimée par les historiens. Cette rencontre se propose de fournir un parcours historiographique et une nouvelle interprétation critique de la culture éthique du jeu comme forme et norme du vivre social dans l’histoire de l’Europe entre Moyen Âge et modernité (XIVe-XVIIe siècle).

Il rapporto Chiesa e società nelle aree europee degli Imperi di Spagna e Portogallo e nell’America spagnola e portoghese intende gettare uno sguardo sullo sviluppo e sulle caratteristiche di questo variegato rapporto tanto nel Vecchio quanto nel Nuovo mondo. Particolare attenzione sarà attribuita alle fonti documentarie inedite o poco studiate in grado di aiutarci ad aprire nuovi percorsi di ricerca per capire la funzione pastorale ed evangelizzatrice della Chiesa, ma anche le luci e le ombre di un clero non sempre orientato al bene dei poveri. Sarà importante analizzare come la Chiesa, attraverso le sue strutture, si sia organizzata e radicata nella società sia in Europa sia in America Latina.

Mobilities and European rebel itineraries in the modern era
Cette rencontre souhaite envisager la désobéissance au travers des acteurs. Les histoires de vies qui seront abordées ont pour objet de rendre compte des actions, des choix, des hésitations et des engagements marquant l’existence d’individus en rupture avec les autorités de leur temps. Leurs parcours seront retenus pour la diversité des situations et des itinéraires qu’ils révèlent, pour ce qu’ils nous dévoilent de l’insertion de rebelles dans des réseaux sociaux et politiques, ainsi que pour les formes de rivalités et de solidarités, occasionnelles ou durables, dont ils rendent possible l’étude.

Peut-on considérer l’existence comme un objet d’étude à part entière ? Quand on parle d’existence, qu’est-ce qu’on désigne ? Quels instruments et quelles méthodes peut-on utiliser et à quelles disciplines peut-on avoir recours afin de mieux saisir l’existence ? L’existence dont nous voulons parler, c’est celle des humains. L’existence, n’est-ce pas celle d’individus en particulier ? Comment les observer ? A propos d’existence, est-il pertinent de parler de recherche de terrain ? Dans ce colloque, nous entendons nous focaliser sur l’existence et sur ses composantes possibles afin de répondre à ces quelques interrogations et sans aucun doute à d’autres encore.

Policing foreigners in European cities during the long eighteenth-century
Cette session accueille les propositions de communication qui s'intéressent à la manière dont les « étrangers » sont appréhendés par les polices urbaines en Europe, dans un XVIIIe siècle entendu largement, des années 1670-1680 aux premières décennies du XIXe siècle. Les communications peuvent porter sur la définition des « étrangers » et leur statut, l'apparition de catégories nationales, les pratiques policières et les interactions entre police et étrangers dans l'espace urbain, les transformations policières face aux étrangers, les interactions entre les pratiques locales et les politiques nationales. Nous souhaitons encourager à l'occasion de cette rencontre les comparaisons européennes.

Burial mounds and funerary customs in the Caucasus, Northwestern Iran and Eastern Anatolia during the Bronze and Iron Age
The tradition of burying the dead in burial mounds (kurgans), usually consisting of a funerary chamber limited by stone or brickslabs and covered by dirt and gravel, started in the fourth millennium BCE in the northern Caucasus and then spread south to the rest of the Caucasus regions, eastern Anatolia and northwestern Iran during the Bronze Age and Iron Age. The spread of the kurgan tradition, as well as the territorial, political, social, and cultural values embedded in their construction and their symbolic relation to the surrounding landscape are under debate. The workshop aims to examine chronological issues, cultural dynamics at inter-regional scale, rituals and burial patterns related to these funerary structures. The beliefs and ideologies that possibly connected the "kurgan people" over such a wide geographical area, as well as past and present theoretical frameworks, will also be discussed.

Africa narrates itself: media, opinions, influential figures
These days communication and information are characterized by immediacy, speed, and interactivity. Facebook and Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, and blogs transmit a perpetual flow of information, shared videos, pictures, and other content which creates networks and incentivizes sharing in a constantly evolving language. Contemporary mass media therefore ensures that, today more than ever, people in African countries are at the same time autonomous producers and users of a debate, through partly traditional, partly innovative channels, about life in Africa and African communities’ identity, with a tale that travels across the borders of individual countries and the continent itself.

Border towns and the resilience of frontiers in Early Modern cities
The session welcomes contributions that deal with questions of shifting borders and how these shifts impacted the political, social, economic or religious organization of a given city or cities in Europe. Papers may focus on questions of practice, concerning the resilience of local political elites and administrations or the local population. They may also deal with the contemporary considerations to change the space of both cities and states, political agendas, procedures to implement them and the 'instruments' to control these implementations.

Status and Social Conditions under the Risk of Social Demotion
Western and Southern Europe, 16th to Early 19th centuries
Le déclassement social est aujourd’hui un défi politique majeur pour les sociétés occidentales et un objet d’études central pour les sciences sociales. L’historiographie des sociétés d’Ancien Régime s’est davantage intéressée à la mobilité ascendante qui était aussi plus productrice de sources, elle a néanmoins abordé le phénomène du déclassement à travers l’étude des cas de dérogeances de la noblesse, celle des pauvres honteux et des institutions d’assistance. Ce colloque entend se pencher sur les discours tenus sur le déclassement en interrogeant l’usage de catégories d’analyse mobilisées par les historiens pour étudier les sociétés anciennes.

Credit. Trust, solidarity, citizenship (14th-19th century)
IV seminar of doctoral studies history and economy in the Mediterranean countries
The objective of the seminar will be to understand the importance of intense credit activities at all levels of society, both in urban and rural areas over the long term, from consumer microcredit to the specific problem of the foundation of the Monti di Pietà in the various regional typologies, and to the forms of solidarity credit that, over the centuries, gave rise to more modern forms of banks.
