Decolonizing Museum Cultures and Collections: Mapping Theory and Practice in East-Central Europe

International conference for heritage scholars and practitioners

This conference brings together curators, artists, scholars, and other intellectuals and cultural activists working on East-Central European heritage, to reflect on how the main trends of decolonial debate are intersecting in practical and theoretical terms with the heritage sector, with a particular focus on museums in the region. The conference will place special emphasis on mapping both the range of colonial histories embedded in, as well as decolonial approaches to, museum collections and practices in East-Central Europe.

Text as object in the Middle Ages

The International Medieval Congress (IMC) is the largest medieval studies conference in the world. In line with the Special Thematic Strand in 2019 “Materialities” and the recent creation of the strand “Manuscript studies”, we organize sessions on “Text as object in the Middle Ages”. Texts, indeed, are at the same time an idea and a form. The latter is the result of a combination of inherited social uses and specific intentions by the various actors involved in transmitting the text as idea. This process begins with the authors, continues to the craftsmen (parchment and paper makers, copyists and chancery clerks, painters and illuminators, sculptors and weavers, booksellers…) and then on to possessors, readers, archives and libraries. All textual artefacts are concerned: manuscripts, charters, inscriptions, tapestries, seals, coins, etc.

Producing the History of Fashion in the West

This international symposium will provide a multidisciplinary analysis of museum and university discourses, concepts, experiments and experiences, and of their intellectual origins and the institutional frameworks within which they are produced across diverse local and national contexts. The aim is to better understand the various ways of tackling the subject so as to highlight new areas of research convergence, thereby giving new impetus to international cooperation.

Ideas and ways of heritage: Scientific thought, praxeology and social knowledge in patrimonialisation

Critical heritage studies have been popularized by way of various disciplines, and several recent studies have emphasized “the infinite specificity of heritage and patrimonialisation”, and at other times, the differentiated paradigms of heritagization, patrimonialisation, heritageification, etc During the session "Ideas and ways of heritage: Scientific thought, praxeology and social knowledge in patrimonialisation" we will explore conceptions used in heritage-making, as they appear or are particularized in the scientific literature, local expertise and the collective intelligence in various regions of the world.

Great historical narratives in European museums, 1750-2010

Building Nations, Looking across Borders and Remembering the Past

À l'heure où, en France, le terme de « roman national » est entré dans le vocabulaire courant, à mesure peut-être de sa transformation en « lieu de mémoire », et où le monde des musées s'y trouve confronté à nouveau, on s'interrogera sur sa place dans les musées nationaux européens. Comment, d'abord, en donner une traduction en termes d'exposition – sauf à imaginer qu'un message global ou principal inspire généralement le musée et structure sa présentation d'une collection d'objets, d'images et d'informations ? Peut-on ensuite considérer le musée en tant qu’auteur – de la voix individuelle du conservateur à celle, collective, de l'organisation – notamment dans son rapport à l'historiographie académique et à la vie politique, nationale et internationale ?
