Religious vocations and European societies from the end of the 18th century to the present day
Religious vocation is considered by the twentieth-century theology as both an intimate and supernatural phenomenon, resisting analysis and explanation. Yet, it is an object of study in its own right for historians and sociologists alike. Through a dialogue between these two disciplines, using new and increasingly accessible archives, this symposium aims to examine the place of religious vocations in European societies from the end of the 18th century to the present day, and to situate this choice of life in relation to the alternatives open to men and women.

Rebels, protestors and innovation: the ancient figures of transgression
Deuxième journée d'étude du laboratoire junior Tantale
Les figures antiques de rebelles, de contestataires, de révoltés abondent, aussi bien dans le champ de l’imaginaire mythologique et littéraire que dans le champ historique et leur présence demeure souvent vivace dans les sociétés contemporaines : les mythologies, les religions, les tragédies regorgent de figures devenues les archétypes de l’infraction absolue, et leurs fantômes ne cessent de hanter les mémoires occidentales...

Maternal Sacrifice in Jewish Culture
Rethinking Sacrifice from a Maternal Perspective in Religion, Art, and Culture
Rethinking Nancy Jay’s opposition between sacrifice and childbirth in what she defines a “remedy for having been born of woman”, the conference aims to explore new approaches to the maternal sacrifice as a ritual, as a narrative, and as a metaphor in the context of Jewish culture.

The comparative perspectives of political corruption: from words to wickedness
Ce colloque proposera aux participants de s'interroger sur le concept de corruption dans le contexte du monde politique, sur les causes et manifestations de ce phénomène pervers et sur les moyens de prévention, de réduction et de sanction. La corruption politique sera envisagée dans toute sa diversité, dans une approche pluridisciplinaire (économique, sociologique, politique, juridique, linguistique, culturelle ou encore religieuse) et comparative (Europe, Afrique, Amérique-Latine, Asie). Ce colloque a ainsi vocation à réunir des enseignants chercheurs d’horizons et de disciplines variées.

Artus Désiré. Fighting through song
Ce séminaire vise à étudier le rôle d’Artus Désiré (c. 1510 – c. 1579) dans les combats spirituels en musique menés dans le contexte du déclenchement des guerres de religion en confrontant des approches historique (T. Debbagi Baranova), littéraire (J. Goeury) et musicologique (A. Tacaille). Trois recueils du polémiste catholique feront en particulier l’objet d’une analyse systématique : les Hymnes ecclesiastiques (1ere éd., Rouen, 1553), le Contrepoison des cinquante-deux chansons de Clément Marot (Paris, 1560), les Plaisans et armonieux cantiques (Paris, 1561). Ce séminaire est ouvert à tous.

Exploring the potentials of the name in images, in narratives
The ERC MAP Seminar “The Names of the Gods! 4: Exploring the potentials of the name in images, in narratives” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine. By focusing on names, images and narratives, we will look for connections but also discrepancies, in order to highlight, from duly selected cases or files, the specifications of the different languages used to unfold the potentials of the divine names. In the spirit of the MAP project, we will pay special attention to the links that the names, the images and the narratives convey.

Engendering Scandal: Children and Childhood in the Early Modern Period
History, Literature, Memory
This international two-day colloquium aims to analyse how and why the child, as an individual or in a group, could take part in the engendering process of scandal, and could even influence its meanings when more directly involved. It also aims to explore how narratives, even when confined to the judicial sphere (such as factums), could make sense of childhood, map its emotional realms, thus contributing to a better understanding of changing social and cultural norms and emotions relating to children.

Networks and practices of clandestinity in the age of the religious wars
The French religious wars of the late sixteenth century provided a ready platform for the use of secretive means by which all parties (Protestant, Catholic, Royalist, Leaguer) protected and perpetuated their cause, as well as transmitted messages and news across France and to their allies abroad, generating a culture of clandestine networks. The French crown, other foreign powers and their ambassadors also made use of such practices. In practical terms, the use of ciphers and pseudonyms allowed for the safe passage of messages and messengers. For individuals, finding means of concealment for their clandestine activities was vital, especially in the towns. Intelligence-gathering and espionage sought to counter as well as to support such practices. This workshop seeks to uncover the clandestinity of the sixteenth century in order to enhance and deepen our understanding of this contested period in French history.

“Guest researchers” - Project ERC Mapping Ancient Polytheisms
Over the next three years, the ERC Advanced Grant MAP 741182 project has budgetary support available in order to invite researchers. These stays can be from 2 to 4 months per researcher, with the exclusion of the months of July and August (due to the fact that the university is closed for a large part of the summer). Guest researchers will work within the team, exchanging therein and participating in the improvement of the databases. Guest researchers will equally be requested to take part in MAP scientific activities (seminars, workshops, conferences…). The position of guest researcher and this call for applications is open to everyone, of French or foreign nationality, with a Doctorate Degree (or an equivalent degree) wherein the competence and project are deemed to be of interest for the MAP project.

L’Unité de recherche TRAME (E.A. 4284) de l’Université de Picardie-Jules Verne organise un colloque sur les phénomènes et les pratiques de traduction. Le terme, qui sous-entend les questions de fidélité, mais aussi celles de translation, transformation, transmutation, interprétation, négociation, adaptation ou transfert, pour n’en citer que quelques-uns… est porteur de richesses, comme de questionnements. Sont encouragées les contributions de tous horizons, des champs de la littérature et de la linguistique à l’histoire de la traduction, en passant par les arts, les sciences, l’histoire (religieuse, sociale…), la musicologie, de l’époque carolingienne au XXIe siècle.

Materialities and devotion (5th-15th centuries)
V Medieval Europe in motion
The last decades have witnessed the development of studies on material culture, favouring an inter- and multidisciplinary approach. This has enabled a more cohesive reading of the way in which the medieval Man related to his material environment, manipulating, adapting and transforming it, of the uses given to the objects he produced, the meanings attributed, how he interacted with them in cognitive and affective terms.
