Fresh perspectives on heritage appropriation in Europe during the French Revolution
Régulièrement réapparaît çà et là une remise en question des notions de sécularisation et de décontextualisation des œuvres d’art qui ont présidé à la création, dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, des musées modernes. Cette remise en cause conduit à considérer, dans la foulée de Quatremère de Quincy, que l’œuvre d’art ne peut être appréciée que dans son contexte d’origine. D’où le risque de vouloir réécrire notre passé en reconsidérant les transferts patrimoniaux qui ont, de tous temps, jalonné l’histoire. Dans la foulée de l’inventaire scientifique que dresse l’IRPA des peintures et des sculptures spoliées par les révolutionnaires français dans les Pays-Bas autrichiens et la principauté épiscopale de Liège, un colloque de deux jours sera organisé par la même institution pour réévaluer de la manière la plus large les circonstances historiques, politiques et artistiques de ces prélèvements révolutionnaires à travers l’Europe, ainsi que leurs antécédents et répercussions immédiats.

The Presence of Women Editors in the Press Industry (1850-1950)
This panel is part of the 49th annual Northeast modern language association (NeMLA) convention which will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from the 12th until the 15th of April 2018. We wish to examine the active participation of women in the public dialogue through the prism of their periodical publications. By looking into their practices of textual transfer, their editorial strategies and the transnational networks that they established, this panel sheds light on the content, structure, and functions of the periodical press in the long 19th century. Scholars are encouraged to explore the ways in which women’s journals shaped socio-cultural transitions by conducting comparative research across nations, cultures, and historical periods.

Printing and misprinting: Typographical mistakes and publishers’ corrections (1450-1600)
This one-day symposium – opening with a keynote lecture by Anthony Grafton (Princeton) – aims to explore the notions of typos and manuscript or stop-press emendations in early modern print shops. Building on Grafton’s seminal work, scholars are invited to present new evidence on what we can learn from misprints in relation to publishers’ practices, printing and pre-publication procedures, and editorial strategies between 1450 and 1600.

Victorians like us – Domesticity and worldliness
Issue of “Open Cultural Studies”
From novels to government reports, the Victorians attached unprecedented significance to domesticity. The household was a central institution, and their occupants played out their different roles according to custom and circumstance. Within its sphere, gender, class, economic and political conflicts were played out as the household provided the background for important social practices. These practices ranged from the kitchen to the parlour, from the street to the Houses of Parliament, from the colonial metropole to the British colonial outposts in Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

Genders, styles and tastes - theatrical dance in Europe and at the beginning of the Enlightenment
For an interdisciplinary study of critical discourse in theatrical dance
Ce séminaire se propose d'examiner les discours critiques suscités par la danse théâtrale au tournant des Lumières. Ce travail permettra de constituer un corpus de sources sur la danse comique, grotesque et pantomime qui demeurent à ce jour très peu étudiées. Ce corpus est destiné à intégrer la base de textes numérisés « Discours sur la danse » du projet Labex Obvil de Paris-Sorbonne.
