  Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment

  International Medieval Congress

  Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.

  Rethinking the Political and the History of Politics in Chile: Languages, Discourses and Practices of Power

  The objective of this colloquium will be to debate and analyze politics and the political by means of the different forms of language, discourse and practices that intervene in the construction of the social world. There are myriad examples of this in Chilean history. Taking history, political philosophy and political economy as the starting points, we invite doctoral candidates, researchers and academics to participate in this truly trans disciplinary  space of debate, reflection and feedback whose goal is not only to unite a community of researchers into “the political” in the republican period but also to select the best works presented for a future publication in the format of a collective work or a special dossier of a scientific publication.

  Study days - Europe

  La monarchie espagnole et les réseaux européens (XVIe–XVIIe siècles)

  Cette journée d’étude est étroitement liée au programme de recherches actuel de CLEA (École doctorale de l'université Paris-Sorbonne (EA 4083)) et du Checla (Civilisation et histoire de l'Espagne classique) : Influences, confluences et transferts entre les territoires de la monarchie espagnole, aux XVI et XVIIe siècles. Elle garde les mêmes objectifs mais élargit la réflexion vers des territoires européens divers. Cette journée a pour ambition d’ouvrir un champ d’étude, qui sera au centre des recherches du CLEA / Checla dans les prochaines années, celui du rôle joué par l’Espagne et par sa complexe monarchie, dans la construction de l’Europe qui s’amorce en ces siècles.

  Thinking rights in Latin America in the 20th century

  This conference purports to think about the right-wing in twentieth-century Latin America. We shall seek to discover whether the current Latin American right-wing movements are merely the prolongation of XIXth century conservatism, or if a series of events might explain the emergence of new actors in the XXth century. This will enable us to enquire into which geographical scale - national or continental - is relevant when examining this concept. We expect papers from scholars in various social sciences, based on monographic and comparative historical examples. Our purpose is to historicize the concept and the object.

  Arabic Chancellery Documents through the Prism of Historicity

  Writing, Vocabulary, Syntax, and Intertextuality from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Kātib (d. 750) to al-Qalqashandī (d. 1418)

  This conference will address the evolution of chancellery styles, their regional diversity, and the history of the rhymed prose (sajʿ), this language of authority that was supposed to obey rules definitively fixed by the Prophet or the first secretaries of the Islamic Empire. What were the technical modalities for innovation? On what semantic, lexical, syntactical, and/or graphic levels did it manifest? Rather than on norms, codes, and rules, studies will focus on writing styles, orthographic variants, atypical handwriting, deletion, the transgression of norms, semantic revitalization, neologisms, and the variety of styles for citing the Quran or referencing ḥadīth. We are seeking to renew study of a corpus considered not as a fixed and ossified text, technical and off-putting, but as a living, evolving, and diverse ensemble.
