  Imaginary places, real territories

  Territorial imagery and the creation of a Dutch identity (1579-1702)

  This two-day symposium aims to shed light on the ways in which Dutch depictions of national and transnational territories participated in the formulation of a shared identity. Multidisciplinary discussions will allow us to examine the terms of territorial imagery in Dutch visual culture, and their links with the formation of a national myth in the Early Modern Dutch Republic.

  Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)

  The COST Action “Islamic Legacy: Narratives East, West, South, North of the Mediterranean (1350-1750)” [CA 18129] is launching a call for a conference “Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)”. The event that we are disseminating is being organised within this project, which as the purpose to provide a transnational and interdisciplinary approach capable of overcoming the segmentation that currently characterizes the study of relations between Christianity and Islam in late medieval and early modern Europe and the Mediterranean. We aim to create a network that will help to provide a comprehensive understanding of past relations between Christianity and Islam in the European context through the addressing of three main research problems: otherness, migration and borders.

  Heraldry in Medieval and Early Modern State-Rooms

  Towards a Typology of Heraldic Programmes in Spaces of Self-Representation

  Heraldry was an ubiquitous element of state-rooms. Whether in palaces of kings and princes, castles of noblemen, residences of patricians, city halls or in cathedral chapters, heraldic display was a crucial element in  the visual programme of these spaces. Despite its omnipresence, however, heraldic display in state-rooms remains largely understudied so far. This workshop aims to explore these heraldic programmes in state-rooms in medieval and early modern Europe and to suggest an initial typology of this phenomenon.

  Netherlandish culture of the sixteenth century

  Interdisciplinary conference

  Whereas much attention has been paid to the Burgundian Low Countries of the fifteenth century and the so-called Golden Age of the seventeenth, the culture of the Netherlands in the century in between has long been neglected. Yet the past two decades have witnessed significant research on Netherlandish art, literature, and society of the sixteenth century. The period was famously marked by the twin flashpoints of iconoclasm and revolt, but it witnessed throughout a significant development in artistic, political, and literary culture. This interdisciplinary conference invites papers on topics related to the Netherlandish Culture of the Sixteenth Century.

  Identity in the face of alterity

  The image of the Other in literature and the visual arts in 17th and 18th century England

  A mesure qu'ils découvrent et rencontrent des peuples nouveaux au cours des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, les Anglais sont conduits à s'interroger en retour sur leur propre identité. C'est la question du dialogue entre le soi et l'autre, celle de la perception de l'altérité, et de la construction d'une identité nationale par le jeu du regard, de la mise en miroir ou de l'opposition que ce numéro spécial de la revue LISA e-journal se propose d'explorer. Il s'agira notamment d'étudier la façon dont se déploient l'imaginaire de l'identité et celui de l'altérité dans la littérature et les arts visuels aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Tous les types d'approche théorique sont les bienvenus.

  Interactions et transferts entre la France et les îles Britanniques, 1640-1660

  Ce colloque international rassemble des spécialistes français, britanniques, irlandais et américains sur la question des liens unissant la France et les îles Britanniques entre 1640 et 1660. Cette période troublée dans les trois royaumes britanniques vit la mise en place de nouveaux systèmes de gouvernements, parfois avec l'aide de la France, et coïncide avec le début du règne de Louis XIV et le triomphe de l'absolutisme en France. Ce colloque propose d'étudier les échanges, interactions et représentations croisées alors à l'oeuvre.
