The geometry of medieval images
On le sait (le sait-on ?), une image, au Moyen-Âge, n’est pas composée selon les règles de la perspective. C’est à la compréhension d’un autre modèle géométrique, sur lequel s’appuyèrent les images médiévales, et qui disparut au cours du XVIe siècle, que ce colloque sera consacré. Pour quelles raisons ? Les images médiévales ont-elles quelque rapport avec la géométrie ? N’est-ce pas la plus mauvaise manière de parler d’elles, qui s’entêtent à ne pas respecter des règles simples de proportion, qui sont parfois incapables de tracer deux lignes parallèles, et qui souvent n’essaient même pas d’esquisser un paysage un tant soi peu cohérent ? Plutôt que de penser les termes « géométrie » et « espace » d’une manière toujours défaillante par rapport aux images médiévales, nous voudrions les maintenir, quitte à redéfinir ce qu’on appelle, au Moyen Age, une géométrie, un espace ; et une image ?

How large-scale concepts of world-order determine practices in the premodern world?
The conference “Order into Action” asks if political, geographical or religious large-scale concepts constituted the basic elements of systems of world order and how those concepts were translated into concrete actions or practices. In order to include a comparative view on regions and cultures, the confereince combines the perspectives of scholars in European, Arabic and Islamic and Asian Studies, as well as outlooks on premodern societies in (sub-saharan) Africa, the Americas and Australia.

History and drama: The pan-European tradition
DramaNet Conference V
Rereading Aristotle, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and Demetrius through the lens of contemporary narratology provides scholarship with a potentially fruitful perspective for investigating the relationship between historical narrative and other forms of literature. In particular, the reflections of Dionysius and Demetrius on narrative style at the micro-level, as well as those of Aristotle on history and tragedy as ways of representing knowledge at the macro-level, might enable historians and comparatists to focus on the question of how pan-European historical narratives are related to the drama of their times.

Audience-Oriented Perspectives on Classical Historiography
The 21st century could justifiably be deemed an era highly fertile for the examination of ancient readership of classical historiography. This is because the last decades have contributed to the liberation of modern scholarship from the nineteenth-century positivism’s persistence in scrutinizing the “objectivity” of ancient historians and seeing them mostly as the celebrated exemplars of critical acumen and scientific conscientiousness. On the contrary, if we try to summarize the prevailing modern perspectives on classical historiography, we may refer to the analysis of the ancient historians’ view of the nature of the historical development, their goals in preserving the past by writing history, the literary qualities of ancient historical accounts, and the techniques the ancient historians used in order to disseminate certain ideological and interpretive messages and to create specific emotions in their readers.

Conference, symposium - Representation
The development of art history as a discipline during the 19th century has been variously associated with the politics of national identity, the needs of a growing bourgeois public in search of cultural capital, or of an expanding art market. However, the role of art training, and art practitioners themselves in the shaping of the discipline remains unexamined. Courses in art history had been systematically introduced in the curricula of art and architecture academies since the late 18th century, and spaces of art education count among the first institutional homes of the discipline, well before the establishment of autonomous university chairs. This conference aims to explore the interactions and productive tensions between art practice and art scholarship in the 19th century.

A Realm of Memory of the Cold War
Whether or not “the entire world” was looking at Berlin, as Reuter asserted, is one of the central questions to be addressed at our conference. Starting from the “frontline city” of Berlin, we will cast our glance to West Germany and its neighboring countries in order not only to frame the Berlin Airlift as a transnational memorial of the Cold War, but also to address, from outside, the question of whether Berlin was really the international focus of the East-West conflict back then, as the press and academia so often portray it.

Intersections of Art, Science, and Technology in Soviet Film and Culture
By maintaining the tension between artists’ imaginative approaches to technology in the Soviet Union (Meyerhold’s Biomechanics), film directors’ use of science such as physiology (Eisenstein’s Expressive Movement), and scientists’ own theorization of art history (Lev Vygotsky’s The Psychology of Art), this workshop aims at unpacking the historical and political forces behind Soviet film theory, film practice, and art history in relation to science and technology. While examining the juncture between art, science, and technology in post-Revolutionary Russia, with a focus on the avant-garde period until the death of Joseph Stalin, cinema is thus considered as a device beyond its medium of film (Francois Albera, Maria Tortajada: Cinema Beyond Film) and the medium-specificity of the arts is called into question.

Counts and abbeys in the Frankish world
West Francia, east Francia and Burgundy (late 9th-late 11th centuries)
Cette journée d'études proposera un état de la recherche des jeunes chercheurs travaillant sur les espaces francophones et germanophones autour de la question des relations entre comtes et abbayes dans le monde franc durant la période post-carolingienne (de la fin du IXe siècle à la fin du XIe siècle). Durant cette période de changements politiques, la manière dont les comtes ont créé et/ou dominé des abbayes (abbatiat laïque, avouerie) et dont les moines ont représenté ces comtes (rouleaux des morts, livres de mémoire, documentation diplomatique) ont fortement évolué, suscitant des conflits, très souvent soulignés par l'historiographie, mais aussi des collaborations importantes, mises en valeur par la recherche récente. Les approches historiographiques diffèrent par ailleurs des deux côtés du Rhin et cette journée attachera une importance particulière à la comparaison des travaux francophones et germanophones.

Conference, symposium - Modern
Form und Leben. Morphologie als Paradigma zwischen Philosophie und Wissenschaft
Tagung des DFG-Netzwerks “Morphologie als Paradigma” in Zusammenarbeit mit dem ZfL Berlin
Die Tagung eröffnet die Forschung zum Begriff der Morphologie im Rahmen des DFG-Netzwerks »Morphologie als Paradigma«. Im Horizont der namensgebenden These werden hier zur ersten Orientierung kultur- und naturphilosophische sowie poetologische und lebenswissenschaftliche Verwendungen von morphologischen Modellen ins Gespräch gebracht. Dabei soll zum einen der Modellfunktion der Morphologie bei Ernst Cassirer, zum anderen der Frage nach Parallelen bis in die moderne funktionsbiologische Disziplin Raum gegeben werden. Letztlich steht damit in kritischer Auseinandersetzung auch zur Debatte, ob hier möglicherweise ein Ansatzpunkt zur Redefinition der Aufgaben und Methoden der Kulturphilosophie liegt.

Undiszipliniertes Soziologisieren?
Eine Erkundung zu Partizipationsmöglichkeiten und epistemischen Praktiken außerhalb des Hochschulstandards
Was kann eigentlich als “soziologisch” bezeichnet werden? Mit dieser Frage wollen wir versuchen eine Vielzahl an Problemen zu adressieren, die sich aus den Erfahrungen ergeben, bei der die Soziologie als wissenschaliche Disziplin Grenzen des Soziologisierens vorgibt. Dabei verstehen wir unter “soziologisieren” gerade nicht nur die Art und Weise, wie soziologisches Wissen in Form von empirischen Daten oder abstrakten Theorien generiert, sondern auch, wie diese angewandt, organisiert, darüber diskutiert und darauf Bezug genommen wird.
