  Music and Late Medieval European Court Cultures

  Late medieval European court cultures have traditionally been studied from a mono-disciplinary and national(ist) perspective. This has obscured much of the interplay of cultural performances that informed “courtly life”. Recent work by medievalists has routinely challenged this, but disciplinary boundaries remain strong. The MALMECC project therefore has been exploring late medieval court cultures and the role of sounds and music in courtly life across Europe in a transdisciplinary, team-based approach that brings together art history, general history, literary history, and music history. Team members explore the potential of transdisciplinary work by focusing on discrete subprojects within the chronological boundaries 1280-1450 linked to each other through shared research axes, e.g., the social condition of ecclesiastic(s at) courts, the transgenerational and transdynastic networks generated by genetic lineage and marriage, the performativity of courtly artefacts and physical as well as social spaces, and the social, linguistic and geographic mobility of court(ier)s.

  The paths of humanism: professional mobility and cultural expansion during the Renaissance

  Diasporas. Circulations, migrations, histoire

  The history of humanism during the Renaissance is one of an international cultural circulation which saw the rise of “humanities studies”, born in north-central Italy at the turn of the fifteenth century, and which came to dominate other models for a large part of the Western élite during the next two centuries. If the exchange of letters and books was surely an important vector in the development of this movement, it is also important to consider this phenomenon in light of mobility, particularly the professional mobility of the learned adherents of these scholarly practices, by creating a dialogue between intellectual and social history.

  Predication and nobility : networks, discourse and strategies of legitimation in the Hispanic monarch (16th-18th centuries)

  Ce colloque s’interrogera sur l’influence exercée par les ministres de la parole dans le processus de légitimation de la noblesse dans l’Espagne de l’Ancien Régime. On tentera d’examiner sous un éclairage nouveau quels furent les recours employés en chaire pour la défense de la noblesse, quels prédicateurs réussirent à pénétrer les cercles nobiliaires, et enfin si les prédicateurs furent les véritables garants de l’immobilisme social pendant l’Ancien Régime.
