    La palingenesi del classico

    Kepos - Semestrale di letteratura italiana. Anno 2019, n. 2

    Il classicismo si instaura laddove una serie di temi, forme, concetti, istanze, diventano di uso comune e continuo, trasversalmente al tempo. L’originalità dunque, più che nel creare novità orfane e fini a sé stesse, sta nell’utilizzare sapienti connessioni tra ciò che si è ereditato, seguendo – in teoria e in pratica – l’esempio dell’oraziana callida iunctura. Per il numero 2/2019 chiediamo agli studiosi interessati di riflettere sul concetto di classico nel riuso di un passato prossimo e di palingenesi nel recupero di un passato remoto e malinconicamente sepolto tra le spire del tempo. Saranno benvenuti gli studi di fortuna dei classici – antichi e moderni – nella letteratura italiana, secondo la chiave di lettura offerta.

    Conference, symposium - Middle Ages

    The logics of the inventory: classifying archives, objects and books (the Middle Ages-19th century)

    Ce colloque qui se tiendra à l'université de Genève, s’intéressera de façon non restrictive aux pratiques et aux gestes de mises en ordre qui donnent lieu à un document, que celui-ci soit un inventaire, un répertoire, un catalogue, un index (indice), etc. Les inventaires sont établis et utilisés dans des contextes particuliers. Ils proposent une mise en forme, une structuration, un classement d’archives, de livres ou d’objets, qui ne sont pas toujours explicites, mais qui méritent d’être considérés comme des pratiques innovantes et créatives.

    Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology

    Studying medieval buildings (1850-1950)

    Actors, stakes and methods

    The history of medieval architecture was written, from the mid-19th century, by men whose training, career and objectives were variable. In fact, they each developed their methods of analysis and their reading grids of medieval buildings, which are at the origin of our practices in art history and archeology. To be interested in these men and their works: this is the purpose of this study day that will allow to implement, at the scale of Western Europe, this epistemological approach of the medieval sciences dedicated to the castral, civil or religious building. Beyond the monuments themselves, which take the place of a major source, correspondences of scientists, archives of learned societies, photographs, old drawings, or the funds of historical monuments, for example, may be used to deal with one or more of the topics presented below.

    Conjugalities and extraconjugalities at the French court, Middle Ages - 19th century

    Moyen Âge – XIXe siècle

    Ce colloque international a pour but d’examiner l’impact de la vie de cour sur le mariage et la vie conjugale, en envisageant une chronologie longue allant du Moyen Âge au XIXe siècle. La réflexion portera principalement sur trois axes : l’acte de mariage (négociations, stratégies matrimoniales, cérémonies, contrats), la vie conjugale confrontée aux impératifs de la vie de cour, les extraconjugalités (célibat, sexualités, adultère, veuvage).

    Call for papers - Representation

    In the shadow of the masters: "secondary" artists in peinture, sculpture and architecture (12th-19th century)

    The essential locus of the workshop has to be enquired into. How is a workshop organized? Which role is given to each of its members? From preparing colours to realising some parts of the painting, from building a mould to pouring liquid bronze into this casting mould, or from drawing a project to managing a work site, which evolution and which autonomy can students benefit from regarding their masters? Vasari has revealed a progressive vision of Art History, which still prevails in the discipline: students are inevitably ending up overstepping their master (Michelangelo and Ghirlandaio) or outshining their father (Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Pietro Bernini in the 17th century). But what about those who were not taken on and those who remained unskilled workers in their lifetime? Was their role really secondary? The ways and means of these artists’ dependence and emancipation regarding their masters, their model, or their technique has to be addressed.

    Comparative perspectives of fiscal justice (10th-21st centuries)

    Equality or special statuses?

    Parce que l’impôt est un prélèvement contraint – ou, tout du moins, pouvant se dispenser de l’accord du contribuable –, la question de sa justice est un problème constant. Il est certes possible, sinon tentant, d’y répondre sommairement en le considérant comme intrinsèquement injuste – Taxation is theft– ou de juger la question vaine puisque, juste ou non, l’impôt devra être payé – Nothing is certain but death and taxes ! Pourtant, à l’heure où le gouvernement français s’apprête à engager plusieurs réformes de la fiscalité, la justice fiscale semble à questionner sur plusieurs plans. Dans ses aspects les plus concrets, elle se donne bien sûr immédiatement à voir dans l’organisation, le fonctionnement et les réformes successives du système fiscal. Cependant, l’incontestable technicité de la matière – souvent fantasmée comme forcément attentatoire aux intérêts particuliers – ne doit pas dissimuler l’importance des questions qui s’y jouent.

    Conference, symposium - History

    18th international congress of the Danses Macabres Association of Europe

    Le colloque explorera trois axes relevant des domaines de l’art, de l’histoire ou de la littérature : la danse macabre au sein de la société et des villes ; la mort et ses lieux de mémoire : sépultures, cimetières, chapelles… ; l’art macabre et les conceptions des fins dernières. Dans le cadre du colloque sera inaugurée l’exposition « Le livre et la mort » (20 mars – 21 juin 2019), montrant les différents répertoires manuscrits ou imprimés du Memento mori (danse macabre, arts de mourir, emblèmes…), dressant un large panorama des figurations de la mort dans l'illustration (le transi, la Mort frappant, fauchant, moquant ou triomphant...), et interrogeant les différentes manières dont le livre célèbre les défunts (obituaires, cortèges et oraisons funèbres...).
