Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
Princely mirrors at the boundary of genders. Functional approaches to a hybrid reality
L’objectif de ce colloque sera de réinterroger une littérature aux contours sinueux et pourtant cloisonnée sous une définition arbitraire qui cache une part importante des potentialités d’étude d’un tel corpus. En choisissant de prendre le parti non de la forme mais de la fonction, de l’usage des miroirs aux princes, au travers notamment de l’étude de leur réception manuscrite, de leur combinaison avec d’autres formes de littérature, mais aussi du projet de l’auteur (au moyen notamment de la préface au texte, si celle-ci existe), nous souhaitons souligner la grande plasticité des textes spéculaires qui dépassent largement les cadres typologiques restreints dans lesquels nous les classons habituellement.

Making Sense of Latin Classics in the Middle Ages
12th Celtic Conference in Classics (panel 11)
The aim of this panel is to explore how medieval authors have dealt with the Classical heritage within their own cultural context. This enquiry could illustrate different degrees of exploitation of classical texts: from systematic excerption to scattered quotations naturalized in different frameworks, from the reshaping of biographies, political and philosophical treatises to the reuse of poetical patterns in order to convey new values. Making sense always implies a multiple perspective. The goal of this panel is to encourage the interaction between different points of view – historical, philological, literary, philosophical, scientific – in order to get a better understanding of the cultural background through which the Classics had to pass before reaching us.
