Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest among scholars in analysing how the Islamic heritage in Europe has been perceived, described, preserved, erased, negotiated or transformed in different areas of Europe, from medieval to modern times. However, those debates seldom crossed the borders of regional approaches. The aim of this training school is to discuss those issues from different and complementary perspectives, including art history, but also philosophy, history of science or anthropology, and to question the traditional regional narrative through a comparative examination of Islamic monuments in a wider Mediterranean perspective.

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.

The Regional and Transregional in Romanesque Art and Architecture

The categorization of Romanesque by region was a cornerstone of 20th-century scholarship, and the subject is ripe for reappraisal, particularly in relation to transregional and pan-European artistic styles and approaches. In addition to a review of the historiography of the subject, individual papers are concerned with the strength, durability, mutability and geographical scope of regional styles, the extent to which media are important, the assumption and transmission of forms and motifs, the conditions that give rise to the development of transregional styles and the agencies that cut across territorial boundaries.

Medieval Manuscripts in Motion 2015

This International Conference aims to follow up the initiative "Medieval Europe in Motion: the circulation of artists, images, patterns and ideas, from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic coast", held in Lisbon in 2013 and organized by the Institute for Medieval Studies of the Nova University Lisbon.With the aim of creating academic, scientific and organizational synergies, this second edition will be organized in collaboration with two other international institutions, the University of Cantabria and the University of León. The main scientific of the event, as it was the previous conference, is to analyse the phenomenon of circulation, motion and mobility of people, forms and ideas during the Middle Ages. This time, however, the kind of works under consideration will be illuminated manuscripts. This three-day Conference aims thus to conduct a critical and constructive revision of research on Iberian Book Illumination in the Middle Ages, proposing new questions to be discussed.

Objects of Memory, Memory of Objects

The Artworks as a Vehicle of the Past in the Middle Ages

This PhD student conference deals with the objects and their memory. Its principal aim is to reconsider the memorial objects in their context, as well as the memory of particual objects. In fact, some treasure pieces are said to have been owned or donated by a prestigious person (bishop, martyr or emperor) but these pieces or legends appear years after the death of this person. In this case, the object creates the memory, and the prestige of the institution which owns them. We will try to discuss, with these goals in mind, the ideas of memory and oblivion.

Cultures matérielles, cultures visuelles du costume dans les cours européennes (1300-1815)

Material & visual cultures of dress in european courts (1300-1815)

Ce colloque propose d’interroger la question vestimentaire dans les cours européennes, dans une perspective temporelle large, partant en amont de la fin du Moyen Âge, quand s’invente un « corps de mode » et quand les cours prennent leur essor. Il s’achève avec les derniers éclats de la cour impériale française. Le colloque de Versailles sera l’occasion de faire le point sur les travaux dans ce domaine, sur un temps long, entre 1300 et 1815, qui permettra aux participants de prendre la mesure des évolutions, de comparer les cours entre elles et d’appréhender leurs influences mutuelles. Il s’inscrit dans trois champs de recherche : le champ très actif des Court studies qui ont mis en évidence le rôle de la cour comme lieu de pouvoir et de culture, celui de l’histoire de la culture matérielle et de la consommation et celui de la culture des apparences vestimentaires et des cultures visuelles, domaines de recherche actuellement en plein essor.
