4th National Conference of the Italian Association of Public History
In line with the Italian Public History Manifesto, approved after our association’s meeting in Pisa in June 2018, AIPH intends to contribute to the affirmation of a greater awareness of the value of historical knowledge, an essential resource for understanding the present, planning of the future and exercising full citizenship. The 4th AIPH National Conference of Venice-Mestre will create new opportunities for discussion and reflection between those who work with the past. The conference will examine ways in which history is present in society today, from universities to public places, in schools and learning institutions, in high and in popular culture and, finally, in the daily life of our communities.

Historiography of the Perception of Islam through Manuscripts, Korans and their Displacement
The aim of this workshop is to approach the question of the relationship between Christianity and Islam through the study of the production, circulation and uses of Arabic manuscripts, and mainly Korans, in the late medieval and early modern Mediterranean Europe. Our assumption is that the Balkans, Italy and the Iberian Peninsula form an axis of circulation which is especially significant for our understanding of the Mediterranean Sea as a comprehensive space of cultural, political and religious contact.

Interdisciplinary perspectives
The conference aims to explore the relationships established between cinema and urban areas. We want to stress the connections woven between cities and cinema, films, fiction and documentaries – important unconventional sources for the understanding of social and cultural contexts. We intend to focus on the modalities used in films to tell stories – through images and speech – concerning cities, territories, and places, residents’ lives in relation to spaces, to buildings, to landscapes, as well as to its urban culture as a whole. The perspective we have chosen for this conference is interdisciplinary and cinema will be considered as a medium to be understood and interpreted in several, possibly comparative, ways.

Writings by music-lovers - translating musical memories
Notre projet vise l’étude des formes de la musicographie, et plus particulièrement la façon dont l’écriture traduit et transpose les émotions provoquées par la musique. En effet, la mélomanie et la question de l’émotion musicale forment le nœud d’un paradoxe : s’il semble évident que le désir d’écrire sur la musique découle d’un plaisir de l’écoute, et d’une mélomanie plus ou moins affirmée, la critique musicale, depuis le début du XXe siècle, s’est pourtant montrée très méfiante envers le langage des sentiments et des émotions subjectives. À cette méfiance institutionnelle s’ajoute une difficulté : la question de l’« émotion musicale » est complexe, car le rapport de la musique aux émotions s’est profondément modifié à travers le temps.

Uniting through division: "(s)partimento" in Renaissance decor
Cet atelier voudrait être l’occasion d’observer la façon dont une notion récurrente de la théorie de l’art à la Renaissance se traduit au sein de la production effective, dans la pluralité des médiums, techniques et supports, ou à l’inverse, d’examiner l’impact des œuvres mêmes dans la construction de la pensée théorique. L’objectif est d’élaborer une nouvelle contribution sur les tensions entre théorie et pratique dans l’organisation spatiale et sémiotique des ensembles décoratifs. Nous invitons les chercheurs spécialistes de la période à proposer des études de cas spécifiques ou des considérations plus générales, afin d’alimenter la réflexion sur l’émergence d’une véritable théorie du décor au seuil de la modernité.

Florence, a city of art and the French - the creation of a myth
La création d'un mythe
Ce colloque s’intéresse au rôle des Français dans la construction d’un mythe de Florence comme « ville d’art » à travers l’histoire, la littérature et les diverses formes de production artistique. À Florence, plus que partout ailleurs en Italie, la beauté de la ville, le paysage urbain, les grands artistes et leurs chefs-d’œuvre ont fait l’objet d’un véritable processus de mythification culturelle en Europe à partir du XIXe siècle. Florence apparaît ainsi dans la culture française comme un lieu central et idéal dont le souvenir et les représentations infusent très largement la conception générale des arts, de la Renaissance italienne ou encore du génie artistique.

European ways of inciting and containing armed conflict, 1648-2020
The history of Europe is as much about violence and divisions – including religious wars, national clashes and ideological conflicts – as it is about shared cultural, social and economic accomplishments. If war has been such a constant presence in the history unfolding on the continent, the incessant efforts to limit its destructiveness are also an undeniable fact. It was such efforts that eventually led to the birth of Jus ad bellum and, ultimately, laid down the foundations of modern international law. From such a viewpoint, one might even find another definition of what European history might be. Some scholars have suggested that if war has structured a common European space, the containment of violence and the art of peacemaking have constituted ‘Europe’ in thought and practice.

The postmodern condition. Forty years on
Après 40 ans de la publication de La Condition postmoderne de Jean-François Lyotard, le colloque entend relancer la réflexion sur un concept qui, depuis près de trois décennies, a guidé l’interprétation de la structure politico-économique de la société occidentale, de ses dynamiques sociales et de sa production artistique et culturelle. Le colloque, ouvert à tous les domaines disciplinaires, a donc l’intention de partir du débat le plus récent afin d’interroger la dynamique et la physionomie de cette fin (ou de ce désir de « faire finir »), ses motivations (crise ? épuisement ?) et ses conséquences, ainsi que ses implications paradoxales : vu que le postmoderne est resté, grâce aux discours sur sa fin, au centre du débat sur le contemporain.

Caging the sky: art, history and anthropology of aviaries
Deeply rooted in the long history of technology, architectural construction, and the domestication and acclimatisation of animal species by humans, aviaries are an interdisciplinary research subject offering multiple approaches for studying both past and present bonds, connecting societies to their environment, to explore the place of birds in the collective imaginary, but also to appreciate the originality of works or constructions that were conceived in order to represent, signify or house animal life. They make a spectacle of the flight of birds for the external observer and tend to celebrate the captivity of animals as a state of “semi-freedom”.

Le colloque Proust et les écrans souhaite interroger l’image d’un Proust de plus en plus « mondialisé », « numérisé » et hyper-contemporain que renvoient tous les écrans connectés de notre époque, autant de projections et de diffractions dont l’inventaire n’a pas encore été entrepris par la critique proustienne.

Pathos. Forms and fortunes of literary emotions
The goal of this summer school is to explore the role of emotions in literature, namely with respect to the excess of pathos in different forms and times. Pathos has been a fundamental aspect of literature in every epoch. Great poetry has always foregrounded its ability to represent feelings, evoke intense and vivid moods, and elicit readers’ emotions and empathy. On the other hand, the novel – the genre dominating literary modernity – has been o!en accused of indulging in sentimental excess, giving too much space to melodramatic expression. Indeed, in Western cultures, there is a widespread suspicion towards pathos, which has o!en been identified as a shortcoming of literature. Great books – according to a common implicit assumption – can prompt reflection and laughter, but not tears: pathos only concerns lowbrow production. The summer school is an opportunity to engage in a reflection on issues related to pathos in literature in the last few centuries. Different perspectives will be taken into account: specific literary works, reader response theory, cognitive narratology, transmedia adaptation, and publishing history.

In/visible: representation, discourse, practices, “dispositifs”
Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference
How is the materiality of the visible world inscribed in its cultural representations? What are the more or less visible actors and mechanisms in the genesis of a cultural artefact? Should the visible / invisible binomial be considered as an anthropological constant or as the effect of a certain epistemological constellation? To what extent does visibility coincide with power and, therefore, how should one represent the in/visible? These are just some of the questions that cultural studies, in their innate interdisciplinarity and methodological heterogeneity can formulate with respect to the issue.

Bigger than a club: Supporters and historical identity
Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea invite les chercheurs à engager une réflexion sur la manière dont l'histoire est « fabriquée » et utilisée par les supporters et les groupes d'ultras. En fait, il existe un récit historique officiel réalisé par des clubs sportifs et des clubs de supporters officiels, maiségalement un récit « non officiel », produit spontanément par des groupes de supporters. Tous les deux s'inspirent de l'histoire du sport pour (ré)affirmer le rôle historique des équipes dans une perspective historique.

Convegno Internazionale Curzio Malaparte e la ricerca dell'identità europea
Il convegno, che si terrà a Torino il 6, il 7 e l'8 giugno, si propone di esplorare l’opera di Curzio Malaparte seguendo il filo rosso della sua riflessione sull’Europa, con l’intenzione di ricomporre e analizzare il complesso quadro dell’immaginario letterario che questo paesaggio rappresenta. A partire dai grandi mutamenti che subisce il panorama storico-geografico nel quale l’autore si muove negli anni 1920-1950, si vuole ragionare sullo sviluppo del tema dell’identità europea all’interno dell’opera malaprtiana per studiarne la poetica, le forme e le modalità espressive. L’obiettivo fondamentale del convegno è precisamente quello di ampliare l’indagine sulla narrativa malapartiana e rilanciare il dibattito sulla produzione letteraria dello scrittore, per individuare nuove prospettive di ricerca che investano sia l’area linguistico-letteraria sia quella storico-antropologica.

Conference, symposium - Epistemology and methodology
Il Convegno, promosso dal Dipartimento di Scienze Umane dell'Università degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi in collaborazione con il Dottorato di ricerca in Scienze Umanistiche, ha l’obiettivo di studiare il tema della creatività secondo linee di ricerca transdisciplinari per favorire e valorizzare al massimo il potenziamento del confronto e la produttività scientifica. La creatività è l’arte, la capacità e la facoltà cognitiva della mente di creare e inventare: rappresenta una forma mentis che assume una funzione particolarmente significativa in rapporto ai nostri processi cognitivi, come l’intuizione, la percezione, il pensiero analogico, la simulazione, l’associazione di idee, la ricerca nel contesto di un problema strutturato, la riflessione, l’immaginazione, la rielaborazione personale, il pensiero critico.

Veduta – Landscapes, perspectives and panorama
The history of Venetian art, research seminar 2019
Voir Venise et son profil si singulier, fixer le cadre et la mettre dans une boîte : ce topos des voyageurs et des amateurs de la Sérénissime explique à la fois sa fortune historique et son infortune touristique. C’est pourtant dans ce territoire qui englobe la cité lagunaire et sa terra ferma que s’est aussi élaborée la notion même de veduta et de paysage. Une vue construite par le regard, en premier lieu, en tant que genre pictural, progressivement autonome de Bellini et Cima à Giorgione et Titien, dans un registre humaniste et littéraire ; mais aussi comme nouvel enjeu architectural et spatial. D’autres esprits plus scientifiques tâcheront d’élaborer, de recréer astucieusement ce que la vue offre à Venise depuis ses postes d’observation singuliers qu’offrent canaux, balcons, campaniles, jusqu’à ces fameuses altane. Patrie du premier travelling, Venise et son territoire restent un terrain d’expérimentation innovant, du Mondo nuovo aux dernières expériences de visualisation spatio-temporelles par le numérique proposées par le Venise Time Machine Project. C’est à cette « fabrique de la vision », pour reprendre la belle expression de Carlo Montanaro, que convie ce séminaire vénitien.

VII giornata di studi dottorali del Rome Art History Network (RAHN)
Il tema delle fake news è di grande attualità e rilevanza per i mezzi e i fini con cui queste vengono messe in circolazione: esse hanno il potere di alterare la realtà e diffondere notizie prive di fondamento. Invero, la manipolazione delle notizie e delle immagini è sempre stata presente nelle discipline umanistiche, mossa da intenti encomiastici, sociologici o politici. La giornata dottorale del 2019 vuole indagare la modalità in cui l’alterazione del messaggio è stata assunta come verità nella storia dell’arte. Si intende analizzare l’iter del processo artistico e la conseguente creazione delle fake news: così, dall’idea della committenza si passa all’elaborazione dell’artista fino ad arrivare alla ricezione del pubblico. L’oggetto artistico diventa, dunque, veicolo di una realtà alterata. Spaziando dall’antichità al contemporaneo, il convegno vuole mettere in risalto le diverse metodologie impiegate dai dottorandi per delegittimare le fake news nella storia dell’arte.

Migrations and circulations between Italy and France from the 19th century to the present day
À l’occasion de la présentation de l’exposition « Ciao Italia. Immigration et cultures italiennes en France 1860-1960 » à l’Institut français – Centre Saint-Louis, le colloque réunira des chercheurs français et italiens de différentes disciplines afin d’examiner divers aspects des flux migratoires entre l’Italie et la France à l’époque contemporaine. Il s’agit de souligner l’importance et la grande fluidité des mouvements de populations entre les deux pays depuis un siècle et demi. Ces migrations, d’une grande diversité géographique et sociale en fonction des circonstances, contribuent à façonner un espace circulatoire transalpin, cadre d’analyse qui permet de dépasser le traditionnel couple émigration / immigration. À l’heure où la question migratoire suscite des tensions entre la France et l’Italie, une perspective inscrite dans la durée doit permettre de saisir, au-delà des enjeux démographiques et économiques, les effets politiques et culturels de ces migrations du point de vue des rapports entre Français et Italiens.

Islands and remoteness in Geography, Law, and Fiction
The conference seeks to explore how, in many ways, islands appear to be “geographical paradoxes”. Indeed, they are spatially remote places, which are, at the same time, bound to a continent by social conventions. The grounds of such puzzle are manifold. It is firstly a matter of spatial area. Secondly, the puzzle depends on how the political power projects authority over circumscribed spatial realms, including non-continental realms.
