  Call for papers - Middle Ages

  Time in the Middle Ages

  16th annual symposium of the International Medieval Society – Paris

  For its 16^th annual symposium, the International Medieval Society Paris invites scholarly papers on any aspect of time in the Middle Ages. Papers may deal with the experience or exploitation of time, its reckoning or measuring, its inscription, its theorization, or the question of how or why or whether we should demarcate the “Middle Ages.” Papers focusing on historical or cultural material from medieval France or post-Roman Gaul, or on texts written in medieval French or Occitan, are particularly encouraged, but compelling papers on other material will also be considered.

  Study days - Europe

  Clandestine philosophical literature and translation

  Poursuivant la tradition de nos rencontres annuelles autour de la littérature philosophique clandestine, notre journée d’étude portera cette année sur la place de la traduction, non seulement dans la diffusion de la pensée polémique, mais aussi dans ses stratégies de composition et de diffusion : des écrits se présentant comme la traduction d’œuvres de l’Antiquité ou traduisant partiellement d’autres textes (anciens ou modernes), qu’ils font de ce fait circuler. Comme chaque année, cette journée d’étude permettra de préparer le prochain numéro de notre revue, La Lettre clandestine, qui intègrera les communications présentées dans son dossier thématique.

  Call for papers - Thought

  Thinking Places: museum, library, theatre

  Is it possible, while maintaining the momentum of Pierre Nora’ studies on Sites of Memory (Les lieux de mémoire, 1984-87), or Christian Jacob’s current researches on Places of Knowledge (Lieux de savoirs, 2007-2011), to consider particular public places – museums, libraries, theatre, the list is endless – as sites dedicated to the process of thinking, as places where one thinks? To what extent, in which ways, and for what purpose might institutions and places strive for stimulating, elaborating, shaping a thinking process? What kind of institutional, architectural, or design devices would such a dedication to the thinking process involve? What professional or artistic issues, limitations, resources, would this impact?
