  Constructing Kurgans

  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.

  Conference, symposium - Representation

  The sites of dream - fantasy architecture in literature, texts and images

  Architectures fantastiques dans la littérature : textes et images

  Le colloque portera sur le rêve et l’architecture. Unis, opposés, croisés, ces deux thèmes seront déclinés sous plusieurs aspects : les édifices cultuels propices au rêve, les rêves d’architectures, l’imaginaire de l’architecture des âmes, les constructions oniriques des romans médiévaux, les constructions projetées. Dans une double perspective, littéraire et artistique, la rencontre s’attachera au rapport entre textes et images, tout en favorisant une approche pluridisciplinaire (histoire, archéologie…). Le colloque privilégie les éclairages novateurs et les cas d’études originaux sur une période large allant de l’Antiquité au Baroque.

  The author – Wanted, dead or alive

  New perspectives on the concept of authorship, 1700-1900

  The goal of this conference is to reassess, challenge, and enlarge the concept of authorship, by giving the author a post-mortem of sorts. To do this, we want to bring together fresh and critical historiographical perspectives on the concept of authorship, and challenge participants to think in comparative and transnational frameworks. Ideally, we seek to draw together work from a wide variety of sub-disciplines, creating a dialogue which connects often-separated fields such as book history and literary history.
