    Imagined Identities and Communities in the Late Middle Ages

    On December 9 and 10 of this year, the “Cultures i Societats de l'Edat Mitjana” (CiSEM) research group, led by Dr. Antoni Furió, professor of medieval history at the University of Valencia, will hold a conference with the title: Imagined Identities and Imagined Communities in the Late Middle Ages.  Far from being strictly contemporary creations, nations, the most elaborated product of imagined communities, had their relevance throughout the medieval centuries. The most recent historiography has tried to establish the mechanisms that contributed to building this type of imaginary in which, according to some anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists, collective identities are taking an increasingly prominent role in international geopolitics. For this reason, this process is presented as a great opportunity to discuss the most recent historiographical contributions, and to try to shed more light on a transcendental historical phenomenon on the evolution of human societies.

    Islamic heritage in Europe

    Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest among scholars in analysing how the Islamic heritage in Europe has been perceived, described, preserved, erased, negotiated or transformed in different areas of Europe, from medieval to modern times. However, those debates seldom crossed the borders of regional approaches. The aim of this training school is to discuss those issues from different and complementary perspectives, including art history, but also philosophy, history of science or anthropology, and to question the traditional regional narrative through a comparative examination of Islamic monuments in a wider Mediterranean perspective.

    The construction of political discourse in the Middle Ages and Renaissance

    Theorica VII: Politia

    Le programme « Theorica » vise, à travers la rencontre de spécialistes du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance, à revisiter l’idée que l’époque médiévale est une époque asystématique et donc inadaptée à toute théorisation. Dans ce colloque, il est proposé, au contraire, d’étudier les modalités d’élaboration d’un discours théorique à partir des modalités intellectuelles qui façonnent le discours médiéval et de la Renaissance. Pour cette VIIe rencontre, intitulée Politia, nous proposons de réfléchir sur la vertu politique et la translatio studii dans la science politique du Moyen Âge à la Renaissance.

    Rethinking the Canon: Models, Categories and Prestige in Spanish Mediaeval Art

    13th Complutense Conference on Mediaeval Art

    ¿Qué criterios han de guiar la selección del Arte Medieval? ¿Siguen siendo válidas las valoraciones que conformaron la historia del arte medieval en los siglos XIX y XX? ¿Se ha revisado el canon para hacerlo acorde a los intereses, métodos y perspectivas de la nueva historia del arte entrado el siglo XXI? Y, no menos importante, ¿de qué modo podemos conocer el aprecio y el prestigio de que gozaron las obras en el momento en que fueron creadas?

    Female monasticism in southern Europe in the Middle Ages

    Cette journée d'étude, adossée aux apports de l'histoire du genre dans le domaine du fait religieux, vise à analyser la part féminine du monachisme médiéval dans les régions de l'Europe méridionale (Midi de la France, Italie, Espagne) où elle n'a pas toujours reçu une attention aussi soutenue que les monastères masculins. Une approche pluridisciplinaire croisant le regard sur les textes aux données archéologiques permettra de soulever un ensemble de questions relatives aux communautés féminines du Midi européen, touchant notamment leur organisation insitutionnelle, leurs fonctions sociales, leur production écrite, leur topographie et leur emprise sur l'espace environnant.
