  Conference, symposium - History

  Art and money: economy at work

  Ce colloque interdisciplinaire porte sur les relations entre les arts et l’économie d’hier à aujourd’hui. En effet, les formes de production, de représentation et de réception de l’art à travers les âges sont indissociables du système économique de leur temps, sans en être pour autant une simple transposition tandis que la mise en fiction de l’économie, sa réalité parfois portée à la critique, sublimée ou transformée par l’art, autorisent de subtiles stratégies d’infiltration, de détournement, de subversion de l’attribution de la valeur. D’où l’existence d’un rapport de fascination et de répulsion mutuelle entre art et argent.

  Poetry and Politics in the Viking and Norman Diasporas (Ninth-Thirteenth Centuries)

  The conference will address the relationships between poetry and power in the medieval world, fostering exchanges between historians and scholars in the fields of Latin and vernacular literatures. The poems under scrutiny will be those composed in the Viking and Norman diasporas between the ninth and the thirteenth century, covering a wide geographical expanse, from Iceland to Southern Italy, through Britain and Ireland, Scandinavia, Kievan Rus’ and part of the Latin East. The main questions which will be studied are: (1) the specific context for the composition of political poetry (e.g. encomiastic or satiric); (2) poetry as a means for the representation of power or the transmission of moral or religious conceptions (e.g. mirrors for princes, didactic or gnomic poetry); (3) the reasons for preferring poetry over prose in order to convey political ideas.
