  Exclusion and social discipline in the Medieval city in Europe

  14th international meetings of the Middle Ages in Nájera

  In the late Middle Ages, exclusion became a basic instrument for urban governance, as it enabled lay and ecclesiastical leaders to maintain their control over urban dwellers on the basis of maintaining a certain social discipline and an “ordered” society. Thus, medieval urban society was defined as a community of values according to the ecclesiastical and secular legislation, and it was articulated as a political discourse, which was incorporated into the public sphere. The urban community had to adapt to a legal and ideological framework and to some parameters of behavior, in which exclusion from the community was a powerful communication tool of social discipline. Historians and Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts for research presentations or posters on topics related to “exclusion and social discipline in the Medieval European City”.

  The construction of theoretical discourse in the Middle Ages

  Theorica 5. Thinking translation in the Middle Ages

  Le programme de recherche « Theorica », initié en 2012, se propose de revisiter l’idée reçue selon laquelle le Moyen Âge serait un temps asystématique et par conséquent inapte à toute théorisation. Pour ce cinquième volet, le domaine retenu a été celui des discours sur la traduction, pour interroger la manière dont le Moyen Âge a ressenti le besoin de théoriser la traduction. Il ne s’agit pas ici d’appliquer les méthodes d’analyse de la traductologie contemporaine aux textes médiévaux mais bien d’interroger le regard porté sur la traduction par les théoriciens et/ou praticiens du Moyen Âge afin de dégager les différentes conceptions de la traduction qui s’opposaient à la fin du Moyen Âge.

  The New Medieval Lisbon 1147-1217

  The Ways of the West and the East

  Between the 23rd and 25th of October 2017, the Institute for Medieval Studies (IEM) will organize the V colloquium “The New Medieval Lisbon”. The commemorative evocation of the conquests of Lisbon in 1147 and of Alcácer do Sal in 1217 is the pretext for a broader debate not only around these events, their meaning and impact, but also on its wider context, and on the diversity of the ways that, at the time, were being shaped and reshaped, both in the peninsular context and in the wider scenarios which linked the West to the East.
