  Towards a material history of restoration work (1830-1914)

  À la suite des travaux de Max Dvořák sur la notion de « valeur historique » et dans la continuité des recherches de Louis Grodecki sur « les monuments dans l’histoire », il ne s’agit plus aujourd’hui d’aborder le chantier de restauration aux seules fins discriminantes de la « critique d’authenticité ». Le chantier de restauration implique en effet des questions matérielles, techniques, économiques, sociales et spirituelles qui relèvent de l’histoire, de l’archéologie – « Archéologie des restaurations » récemment valorisée par Nicolas Reveyron – de l’anthropologie et de la sociologie.

  PhD fellowship for a research project on “Reinventions of modernist rural landscapes”

  Focus: Rural planning in Morocco – 20th century

  MODSCAPES deals with rural landscapes produced by large-scale agricultural development and colonization schemes planned in the 20th century throughout Europe and beyond. Conceived in different political and ideological contexts, such schemes were pivotal to nation-building and state-building policies, and to the modernization of the countryside. They provided a testing ground for the ideas and tools of environmental and social scientists, architects, engineers, planners, landscape architects and artists, which converged around a shared challenge.

  1st International Workshop

  Scientists of many different disciplines are involved in the study of relics and kindred artefacts, but till now there was no real forum for these people to exchange ideas and discuss methods. Therefore the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA, Brussels) is organizing a two-day workshop on the scientific study of relics. During this meeting we want to give analytical scientists, textile specialists, conservators, anthropologists, historical researchers, people involved in 3D reconstruction as well as radiocarbon dating specialists a forum to exchange ideas about relics.

  New perspectives on confession

  Confessions in abbeys and episcopal seats between the Loire and Rhin regions - late 9th-mid 13th centuries

  La présente rencontre souhaiterait approfondir la compréhension de l’institution clé, mais encore relativement mal connue, qu’était l’avouerie ecclésiastique à travers l’analyse de dossiers spécifiques et dans le cadre d’études à visée comparatiste. Le champ chronologique exploré correspondra avant tout aux X^e, XI^e et XII^e siècles, tandis que le terrain d’enquête étudié  correspondra à l’entre Loire et Rhin.
