  The Ganden Phrodang Army and Buddhist

  TibArmy symposium

  A number of publications have addressed the question of the coexistence of Buddhism and violence, ultimately concluding that there is no paradox between the two. In various cultural and historical contexts in Asia, the presence of Buddhism as the state religion has often involved the recourse to violence and the maintenance of an army as a necessity of government. Likewise, the policies of Buddhist rulers have repeatedly invoked religious reasons to justify military activities aimed at defending the Dharma. We invite research contributions based on primary sources illustrating the role of the Tibetan Army vis-à-vis different aspects of the Buddhist religion during the historical period of the Ganden Phodrang.

  The Renaissance of Origins

  Beginnings, Genesis and Creation in the Art of the VXth and XVIth Centuries

  This conference seeks to introduce a variety of different approaches and interpretations of the concept of “origins” within the visual arts during the Renaissance. However, to consider the question of origins necessitates establishing a distinction between an original beginning such as the creation of the world, an event which initiated historical time, and the symbolic exercises of re-creation that follow it. These phenomena of echo or aemulatio are defined by their manifest desire to capture the primal energy of the original beginning. Such re-creations attempt to reproduce the vitality inherent in the original beginning, and are characterized, above all, by a fundamental desire to reestablish a link to an ideal and initial origin.

  The Saints of Rome

  Diffusion and reception from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern Period

  The saints of Rome have always been among the most venerated and the most popular heavenly patrons in Christendom, grafting the noble air of universality and integration onto emerging Christian cultures. From the apostles and Early Christian martyrs through the Early Modern period and beyond, the textual and material  dissemination of Roman saints made a significant impact on the rise of the cult of the saints. Post-Tridentine Roman cults spread by the Society of Jesus and  the revival of catacomb cults  brought a new  wave in the world-wide  cult of the saints of Rome in the early modern period.

  A Jewish Model of Devolution? The Inheritance in the Medieval and Modern Jewish Societies

  Atelier n°1 : Conversions, mariage et générations

  L’histoire de la famille juive est au centre de nombreux travaux récents qui en renouvellent les thématiques et les perspectives, contribuant à faire des études juives un champ disciplinaire à part entière. Nous aborderons un aspect n’ayant jamais été appréhendé de manière systématique et systémique : la transmission patrimoniale. La diversité des coutumes, au sein de communautés modelées par les mouvements migratoires et touchées par les conversions, a probablement eu un impact non négligeable sur les pratiques de la dévolution patrimoniale. Trois thématiques seront abordées au cours de cette journée : culture matérielle et quantification du patrimoine, mariage et la transmission entre les générations, problèmes liés à la dévolution patrimoniale dans le cadre des conversions des juifs.
