Female artists in the classical age - illustration, painting, sculpture and engraving

Comment ces artistes sont-elles désignées, et de quelle manière préfèrent-elles se nommer ? Le siècle hésite à se saisir d’expressions pour les qualifier. Quelles sont les conditions de travail et de vie de ces artistes ? De quelles façons apprennent-elles leur art, où peuvent-elles l’exercer et l’exposer, avec qui à leurs côtés ? Quelle est la réception de leur art dans les Salons et les journaux de l’époque, en France et en Europe ? En quelle réputation – nationale et internationale, bonne ou mauvaise – sont-elles ?

(Re) thinking translations

Methodologies, objectives, perspectives

In the last four decades, scholars have begun to go beyond the traditional perspective of linguistic and literary studies, and to consider the translations as cultural practices and the result of various processes of cultural and intellectual “negotiation” between two different contexts. In recent years also historians have progressively started to take a close interest in translations as sources to investigate the ways in which knowledge and ideas were constructed, disseminated, re-elaborated and assimilated in new cultural, social and political contexts. The aims of this international conference is to encourage an interdisciplinary dialogue on these problems, bringing together scholars, graduate students and early career researchers from Translation Studies, History, History of Book, History of Science, Literary Studies and related disciplines who are interested in discussing methodologies, objectives and perspectives in the study of translations.

“Num’rous Uses, Motions, Charms, and Arts”. Fans as Images, Accessories, and Instruments of Gesture in the 17th and 18th Centuries

This interdisciplinary conference discusses the cultural role of European folding fans in art, fashion, and material culture in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The conference aims to take a closer look at the pictorial and intermedial interplay of or- namental patterns, figurative elements, and artistic subject matters against the background of European fan manufacture, artistic net- works and international trade. Furthermore, it seeks to closer examine fans as gender-specific instruments of gesture and communication.

The Vico Road

Giovanni Battista Vico (1668–1744) spent most of his professional life as Professor of Rhetoric at the University of Naples. He was trained in jurisprudence, but read widely in Classics, philology, and philosophy, all of which informed his highly original views on history, historiography, and culture. His thought is most fully expressed in his mature work, the Scienza Nuova or The New Science. In his own time, Vico was relatively not so known, but from the nineteenth century onwards his views found a wider audience and today his influence is widespread in the humanities and social sciences. While borrowing our title “The Vico Road” to James Joyce, the conference at the Paris Institute of Advanced Study will examine the current state of the study of the works of Giambattista Vico. We will try to encourage discussion of ideas that can be considered Vichian in nature and that have some affinity with modern and contemporary thought.

1660-1688: A Landmark Period in the History of British Sociability

1660-1688: un tournant dans l’histoire de la sociabilité britannique ?

Dans le cadre du projet interdisciplinaire « History and Dictionary of Sociability in Britain (1660-1832) », la journée d’étude du 14 novembre 2014, organisée par PLEIADE (université Paris 13) et HCTI (UBO Brest) vise à étudier la période de la Restauration à la Glorieuse Révolution (1660-1688) comme une période charnière dans l’histoire de la sociabilité britannique, portant en elle les germes d’une sociabilité nouvelle. Il s’agira d’identifier les facteurs politiques, sociaux, économiques et culturels propices à l’essor de la sociabilité britannique et d’interroger le caractère novateur des formes, des pratiques et des vecteurs de cette sociabilité.

How do we globalize the long eighteenth century?

Quelle globalisation pour le long XVIIIe siècle ?

Every student of the 17th or 18th century encounters in his or her own way the global historical dimensions of the more or less ‘domestic’ (provincial, national) subject being addressed. For decades, perhaps, many of us ignored these ramifications, which among other things were hard to treat because we are generally hardpressed to bring to such subjects the kind of specialized knowledge we are used to. (There are of course exceptions, involving colleagues who consciously adopt a global approach, e.g. Atlantic studies, though even these are no doubt truncated in different ways.) In all, the global was not an ‘aporia’ of our studies, so much as something more or less difficult to draw into the discussion and, in that sense, an ‘impensé’.

British Philanthropies 1750-1914

Reforming and Redeeming the World and the Metropolis

This one-day conference wishes to explore those concurring and complementing aspects and the evolutions that philanthropy underwent between 1750 and 1914 in the British Empire and the metropolis. PhD and postgrad students whose researches focus on philanthropic endeavours and societies, missionary organizations and/or philanthropic literature from the 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century are more than welcome to speak on this occasion. Speakers are also invited to reflect on the historiographical perspectives of those issues and discuss their representations and treatment in school curricula, commemoration events and ceremonies, such as the 2007 Bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade in the UK.

Persistent Spaces

Politics, aesthetics and topography in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century city

This two-day conference brings together young researchers to explore the city and its ideologies from a fully interdisciplinary perspective. Persistent Spaces combines approaches from various fields in order to create a dialogue between disciplines and methodologies. This conference also seeks to establish a dialogue between the 18^th and the 19^th centuries, in turns highlighting the individual specificities of these two periods, and accounting for the echoes, continuities and breaks between them.

Art and Sociability in the Eighteenth-Century, 1715-1815

Au XVIIIe siècle, la sphère publique émergente, composée de lieux comme les académies, les salons littéraires ou bien les loges maçonniques, a constitué la scène sur laquelle s'est jouée la sociabilité. La publication de Thomas Crow, Painters and Public Life in Eighteenth-Century Paris, a incité les historiens de l’art à comprendre le rôle des artistes dans la sphère publique. Ce colloque a pour but d’analyser la sociabilité dans le monde artistique du XVIIIe siècle à travers le prisme des pratiques sociales. Le colloque aura lieu à l’I. N. H. A., à Paris, les 23-24-25 juin 2011 et sera ouvert aux différentes disciplines issues des sciences humaines : histoire de l’art, histoire, anthropologie, philosophie, littérature et sociologie puisqu’il s’agit de confronter les différentes approches de ces disciplines pour traiter notre sujet et explorer les relations qu’elles entretiennent les unes avec les autres.

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.
