    Conference, symposium - Middle Ages

    Women and Violence in the Late Medieval Mediterranean, ca. 1100-1500

    A two-days international conference

    The last decades have witnessed an increased interest in research on the relationship between women and violence in the Middle Ages, with new works both on female criminality and on women as victims of violence. The contributions of gender theory and feminist criminology have renewed the approached used in this type of research. Nevertheless, many facets of the complex relationship between women and violence in medieval times still await to be explored in depth. This conference aims to understand how far the roots of modern assumptions concerning women and violence may be found in the late medieval Mediterranean, a context of intense cultural elaboration and exchange which many scholars have indicated as the cradle of modern judicial culture. While dialogue across the Mediterranean was constant in the late Middle Ages, occasions for comparative discussion remain rare for modern-day scholars, to the detriment of a deeper understanding of the complexity of many issues. Thus, we encourage specialists of different areas across the Mediterranean (Western Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic world) to contribute to the discussion. What were the main differences and similarities? How did these change through time? What were the causes for change? Were coexisting assumptions linking femininity and violence conflicting or collaborating?

    Prison spaces in the Middle Ages: an interdisciplinary approach to the territories and materialities of medieval incarceration

    While recent work has renewed our knowledge of medieval execution sites and of the internal layout of detention facilities, much remains to be done to understand the distribution of prison spaces and territories, in particular to shed light on the socio-spatial dynamics and logic of their establishment. These prison spaces evolved between the beginning and the extreme end of the Middle Ages, with prisons only multiplying from the 13th century onwards. These evolutions must be understood in close coordination with the evolutions of medieval justice and its spatial practices. Studies can be carried out at the scale of a building, a neighborhood, a city, a city, one or more regions.

    The status of French-speaking journals around the world (1880-1980)

    Cette journée d’études est organisée dans le cadre du projet PERFROM (PERiodiques FRancophones Outre-Mer - XIXe-XXIesiècles) et vise à étudier plus particulièrement le statut des périodiques francophones publiés entre 1880 et 1980 dans le monde (hors territoire métropolitain français). Désormais loin d’être considérés comme de simples vecteurs d’actualité ou de divertissement, ces périodiques peuvent être envisagés comme un outil d’analyse pour comprendre les enjeux culturels, littéraires, sociaux ou politiques d’un pays : on cherchera à définir plus précisément leur place, dans les études littéraires en général, mais surtout dans la culture littéraire d’un pays - et dans ses rapports avec la métropole lorsqu’il s’agit d’une colonie.

    Governance of the Universal Church after the Council of Trent – Two PhD positions - Max Planck Research Group

    The Max Planck Research Group III investigates the emergence and development of the system of post-Tridentine global governance of the Catholic Church in depth from an interdisciplinary perspective over an extended period of time. It will do so by analysing the activity of the Congregations of the Council, the dicastery responsible for appropriately implementing the Council decisions in the entire Catholic world.  We are now looking to recruit as soon as possible (but no later than 1 April 2019) two doctoral students who will develop a doctoral thesis preferably focused on the history of the Congregation of the Council in the early modern period (XVI-XVIII century).

    Another Renaissance in the Centre-Val de Loire region (1480-1650)

    2019 marque le cinquième centenaire de la mort de Léonard de Vinci au château du Clos Lucé à Amboise et du lancement de la construction du château de Chambord. De nombreuses manifestations se dérouleront tout au long de l’année 2019 dans la Région Val de Loire pour faire mémoire de cette Renaissance française qui s’épanouit de façon privilégiée dans la vallée de la Loire. S’inscrivant dans cette dynamique, ce colloque international a pour ambition de mettre en lumière « Une autre Renaissance en Centre-Val de Loire (1480-1650) ». A l’ombre de la figure majeure de Léonard de Vinci et des emblématiques châteaux de la Loire, il s’agira de revisiter les pratiques politiques, culturelles et artistiques dans l’ensemble de cette Région selon les problématiques actuelles de la recherche sur la France de la Renaissance conduites en histoire, en littérature, en histoire du droit et en histoire de l’art.
