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.

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.

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.

What happens when curators and scholars are brought together in museums
Are there new and old ways of curating history in permanent exhibitions? How is it possible to bring together museums, academia, and the public? In organising this workshop, we would like to offer a place for discussion where curators and scholars from a broad variety of institutions (museums, universities, research institutes etc.) elaborate a joint reflection in both theoretical and practical terms, structured around four sessions: History, Responsibility, Mediation and Communication (between Curators & Scholars).
