Truth and falsehood during the Renaissance
Thanks to the coming of an information society and the rise of new media capable of spreading knowledge, our time is often described as a “post-truth” era. Could have any similar ambiguity been present in early modern Europe? Following the political and religious turmoil which marked the Renaissance period, together with the renewal of theorical and technical knowledges, a whole new range of relations between truth and falsehood was established, thus producing a crisis of the current “regimes of truth” which this PhD conference aims to investigate. This two-day long PhD conference aims to encourage new, reflections, debates and to raise new questions about the ever-complex relation of Truth / Falsehood in the Renaissance period, while focusing on their epistemological context.

The commission (XIIIth-XVIIth centuries): actors, contracts and productions

The conditions of pieces commission in late Middle Ages and early modern period started a long series of studies in the domain of the History of Arts.

Contributions will focus on every kind of production, material or immaterial, lasting or not, preserved or not.

Italian National science and its transnational building (1839-1920s)
Call for articles in the Mélanges de l’École française de Rome – Italie et Méditerranée
Le renouveau qu’a connu l’histoire des sciences en Italie et l’intérêt particulier qui a été porté à leurs interactions avec le politique ont permis de réintégrer la science à l’histoire de la construction nationale italienne au cours du XIXe siècle. Le dossier des Mélanges de l'École française de Rome Italie-Méditerranée a vocation à poursuivre ce mouvement en s’interrogeant sur les dynamiques transnationales à l’œuvre dans la construction d’une « science nationale ». En quoi la circulation de savants italiens à l’étranger, d’étrangers en Italie, de savoirs sur la nature, sur l’Italie ou sur l’étranger ont-ils contribué à faire émerger et à construire une science italienne ? Dans un pays en cours d’unification politique et en quête de reconnaissance internationale, la science est en élément fondamental de l’image que l’Italie a d’elle-même et qu’elle projette à l’étranger. Le projet entend donc éclairer le rôle des circulations transnationales – de savants, d’étudiants, de livres, d’idées – dans la construction nationale italienne.
