    Conference, symposium - Middle Ages

    The Dominicans and the Making of Florentine Cultural Identity

    Influences and Interactions between Santa Maria Novella and the Commune of Florence (1293-1313)

    Florence, the celebrated city-republic, dominates the historiography of medieval Italy still today. Her glory and crises define the paradigm for investigating other medieval city-states. As attention to medieval cities has increased, so too the history of the Dominican Order has constituted a major field of study, since the Dominicans were at the forefront of the cultural and religious life of Medieval cities. This conference intends to analyse the reciprocal influences and interactions between the activities and works of this constellation of Dominican intellectuals and the making of Florentine cultural identity through the social and political events that consumed the public life of the Commune between 1293 and 1313.

On s’interrogera sur l’origine, la formation, les réseaux et les carrières de ce personnel, ainsi que sur la genèse institutionnelle de ses offices et charges.

    Mediterranean members of parliament

    France, Spain, Italy, from the 19th century to the present day. Actors, moments, territories

    Ce colloque ambitionne de déterminer s’il existe, dans le domaine parlementaire, une spécificité méditerranéenne. Ces journées aborderont la culture et l’identité parlementaire méditerranéenne à travers le regard comparatiste et selon les angles de la prosopographie des élites politiques, de l’analyse des « moments » parlementaires majeurs et des études de cas régionales, dans le but d’aboutir à une cartographie des acteurs, des pratiques, des discours et des représentations. L’objectif est de réunir des spécialistes de différents domaines (historiens, civilisationnistes, historiens du droit, politologues, sociologues…).
