  Interactions between the Twelver Shia and Christians - history, theology and literature

  Les interactions et échanges entre des représentants chiʿites duodécimains et chrétiens, catholiques ainsi que protestants, ont rarement donné lieu à une étude détaillée. Pourtant, les contacts réciproques ont été nombreux comme l’indiquent les récits de voyageurs, les rapports de missionnaires, les textes théologiques et polémiques, les lettres diplomatiques, etc. Ces sources présentes dans les archives et bibliothèques européennes, mais aussi en Iran et Irak, restent pour une très grande part à étudier. Ce colloque s’assigne pour objectif d’identifier la nature de ces relations interculturelles selon les époques, les milieux, les géographies.

  Metz, capital of the Hebrew book, 1764-1870

  Ce colloque international a vocation à faire le point sur les spécificités historiques, culturelles, linguistiques, archivistiques de l'impression hébraïque à Metz entre 1764 et 1870. À cette époque en effet, Metz est le principal centre d'impression hébraïque en France. Cette période connaît par ailleurs une évolution importante du judaïsme français, qui se ressent par exemple par la part croissante de textes imprimés tout ou partie en langue française chez les imprimeurs possédant des presses hébraïques. Le colloque est organisé par l'université de Lorraine (Centre écritures) en partenariat avec le Service régional de l'inventaire et les bibliothèques médiathèques de Metz.

  Moving Beyond Paris and London: Influences, Circulation, and Rivalries in Fashion and Textiles between France and England, 1700-1914

  By looking closely at the relationship—at times friendly, at times not—between France and England through fashion and textiles between 1700 and 1914, this conference will touch on a number of topics, including: the circulation (lawful or illicit) of knowledge, individuals, and objects; the diffusion – and cross-fertilization – of design models between the two countries via press, engravings, or fashion dolls; the importation of textiles and clothing; the phenomena of copying, espionage, and counterfeits; the pursuit of protectionist policies which aimed to limit imports from the rival nation.
