  Composers in the Middle Ages

  Au-delà de quelques figures bien connues, l’identité et la personnalité des créateurs de la musique médiévale se laissent difficilement appréhender. La notion même de « compositeur » reste un concept malaisé à manier, en raison du faible nombre d’attributions dans les sources, de la documentation limitée sur ceux qui composaient la musique, et des modes même de composition, collectifs et ouverts, du Moyen Âge. De fait, notre approche de la musique médiévale s’est longtemps tenue à distance de la question des auteurs, et s’est de facto volontiers orientée vers l’étude des processus de création et pratiques d’interprétation, ou a favorisé des notions telles que le genre, le registre, les répertoires, etc. Le colloque propose de dresser un état des lieux et de revenir sur cette question à la lumière des travaux récents ; il invite à revisiter et élargir la notion de compositeur comme outil alternatif d’analyse et de compréhension des répertoires médiévaux.

  Categorising the Church (II)

  Clerical and monastic communities in the Carolingian World (8th-10th)

  The Carolingian era has seen by many as a time when the Church became increasingly institutionalised. One of the main aspects of this development, exemplified by the series of councils held between 816 and 819, was a (re)definition of the canonical and monastic orders and the requirement for each community in the realm to comply either with the institutiones canonicorum and sanctimonialium or with the Rule of Benedict. Despite the influential works of J. Semmler or R. Schieffer, however, the real impact of these proposed reforms is still an open question, and from this perspective, the very notion of institutionalisation can also be questioned.

  Power, authority and normativity

  Brussels medieval culture and war conference

  The 2018 edition of the medieval culture and war conference will take place at the Saint-Louis University, Brussels, and will focus on the theme of “Power, Authority and Normativity”. An omnipresent phenomenon, war was a dominant social fact that impacted every aspect of society in the Middle Ages. Moving away from so-called “histoire-bataille” that studied war on its own as an isolated succession of battles, historiography has moved towards investigation of how military conflicts influenced the economic, legal, political, religious, and social spheres in the Middle Ages.
