  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.

  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.
