Protestant art in France before the revocation of the Edict of Nantes
Avec l’édit de Fontainebleau pris en 1685, le pouvoir royal met un terme à la mixité confessionnelle que l’édit de Nantes de 1598 avait instaurée. Entre ces deux dates, une importante communauté d’artistes protestants a œuvré en France, tantôt pour ses coreligionnaires, tantôt pour les catholiques. D’aucuns jouissaient d’une grande réputation, comme la famille Elle, qui a créé nombre de portraits de l’aristocratie sous Louis XIII. Sébastien Bourdon, Henry Testelin et Abraham Bosse, tous réformés, ont même réussi à intégrer l’Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, gage pour un artiste d’un rayonnement institutionnel et commercial supérieur à l’époque.

Prehistory - the itinerary of a word in fields of knowledge
Itinéraire d'un mot dans les champs du savoir
Le but de ce colloque est de rapprocher différents types de discours autour du mot « préhistoire », afin de délimiter les définitions et les usages du mot et des idées qu’il véhicule dans les dispositifs conceptuels d’une dizaine de disciplines : archéologie, anthropologie sociale, psychanalyse, ethnologie, histoire, histoire de l’art, philosophie, histoire religieuse, études littéraires. A partir de là, il s’agira de cartographier divergences et récurrences, évolutions et permanences dans les interprétations et les usages du mot, et de parvenir à une compréhension à la fois plus précise et plus complexe de la notion de préhistoire.

Networks and Sociality at Court
The court was a microcosm of society under the Ancien Régime. The royal family and the great noblemen were not only in each other’s company, but they also rubbed shoulders with a whole crowd of office-holders of greater or lesser importance, who ensured the smooth running of this mechanism...Versailles has launched a research axis on “Networks and Sociality at Court” and wishes to publish articles related to this subject on the Bulletin du Centre de recherche du château de Versailles.

Court identities and the myth of Versailles in Europe
Perception, adherence and rejection (18th-19th centuries)
The “modern” courts in Europe included the institutional, social, societal and cultural aspects concomitant with the political affirmation of personalities emerging, by agreement or through conflict, from communities exercising power together in order to seize authority for their own personal benefit and to develop a range of encomiastic processes for their own person. In the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, the princely courts in Europe did not confine themselves to one single paradigm. There were as many courts as there were princely houses, as many “national” types, even if some, like the Burgundian court in the 15th century and the courts in northern and central Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries, proposed models and exercised influence from one end of Europe to the other, while accommodating indigenous influences.

The representation of history in the collections of the Museum of the Palace of Versailles
Revue « Bulletin du Centre de recherche du château de Versailles »
Louis-Philippe’s History Galleries in Versailles, planned in 1833 and inaugurated in 1837, continued to be enriched up until the Fourth Republic. The collections contain 7,000 paintings (including 1,200 historical scenes) and 1,500 sculptures. Dismantled in 1892, when Pierre de Nolhac became curator of the Museum of the Palace of Versailles, only certain sections of the History Galleries were open to the public during the 20th century. A major architectural and museographic refurbishment is planned to start in 2022 as part of the master plan of the Établissement public de Versailles. It will be preceded by a research programme to prepare and orientate the museographic project to reorganise the collections of the History Galleries: this is the context of this symposium.

Mass Culture : New Approaches, New Issues (19th and 20th centuries)
After the 2016 edition, devoted to the links between media and politics from the French Revolution to today, the theme proposed this year is « Mass Culture: new approaches, new issues (19th and 20th centuries)”. Comparative and transnational approaches to archives and sources will allow us to investigate in new and innovative ways the idea of mass culture as an object of historical study. The school’s international dimension will encourage discussion between different historiographical traditions in the field, and comparisons among many historical contexts and regions. Methodological inquiries will be especially encouraged, in order to evaluate the contributions which, for example, the digital humanities or interdisciplinary approaches may offer.

Rethinking Music in France during the Baroque Era
Since the 1974 publication of James Anthony's book French Baroque Music, research about the music that was performed and composed in France during the Baroque era has enriched its knowledge-base and investigative approaches. And yet, studies of French music have noticeably less visibility than those of German or Italian music. The 350th anniversary of François Couperin's birth in 2018 provides an opportunity for researchers and performers to re-evaluate previous work and reflect more broadly on research perspectives for the study of French music of the 17th and 18th centuries. In response to Couperin's Les Goûts réunis and Les Nations, these reflections will relate to a geographical perimeter that extends to international dialogue and will allow new avenues for advancing research to be revealed.
