  Call for papers - Middle Ages

  Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment

  International Medieval Congress

  Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.

  Or how is work transformed through and in entertainment and entertainment is re-qualified as work

  Le colloque propose de questionner ce que le travail fait au divertissement et ce que le divertissement fait au travail ou, plus précisément, de s’arrêter sur la production contemporaine de formes hybrides entre travail et divertissement, et plus généralement travail et loisir (serious games, usages des réseaux sociaux au travail, Fab labs, médiations du travail des amateurs, etc.). Il s’agit ainsi d’étudier : comment le travail se transforme par et dans le divertissement, et comment le divertissement est qualifié en travail.
