  Dominion of the Sacred

  Image, Cartography, Knowledge of the City after the Council of Trent ("In_bo" vol. 12, no. 16)

  Between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Italian political geography was polarized by a number of cities of different sizes and traditions: Rome and Florence, Milan and Naples, Genoa and Venice, Turin and Modena, either ancient republics or new dynastic capitals, satellites of the great European monarchies or small Signorias. The conjunction — less frequently the conflict — between the mandates of the Council of Trent and the interests of the ruling élites of those cities set the foundation for novel forms of social, cultural and spiritual control, fostering new urban structures and policies, deeply conditioned by the presence and government of the sacred.

  New Perspectives on Censorship in Early Modern England

  Literature, Politics and Religion

  Placed under the aegis of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), this international conference will reassess the notion and the hermeneutics of censorship in early modern England. How was censorship organized? Did it prevent or promote creativity? Why and when did writers decide to enter "the safe territory of the oblique" (Annabel Patterson)? Participants are invited to provide a variety of interpretative answers and to develop a new understanding of how censorship refashioned the social, political and artistic life of Shakespeare's contemporaries.

  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.
