Burgos
Building the medieval diocese. Strategies, agents and instruments
The Gregorian Reform led to a reframing of the role of bishops and diocesan institutions that cemented their power and ultimately permitted the construction of the great Gothic cathedrals of Europe. To mark the 800th anniversary of the Cathedral of Burgos, we propose to explore the dynamics, strategies, institutions and personnel behind the construction of the medieval diocese leading to the building of the temples we admire today. Our focus will be on the period 1150-1250, culminating as it does in the construction of the Cathedral of Burgos, but we welcome papers on other parts of Europe and set in other medieval periods that explore the following themes related to the emergence of the mature medieval diocese.

Economic policies and strategies in the Medieval Atlantic city
Nájera. 17th International Meetings of the Middle Ages
International Meetings of the Middle Ages in Nájera have been proposed as an international congress in the field of study and dissemination of Medieval History since 2003. The theme for this year’s meetings is Economic policies and strategies in the Medieval Atlantic City. Atlantic city, arose in the Middle Ages, was based on a series of key factors -such as the geographical features, infrastructures and very dynamic societies-, but also because urban policies adopted, in those peripheral cities due to its geographical location, some common and different characteristics from the cities of the interior of the continent, whose economic policies and strategies we are proposing to analyze in this conference.

Image, Cinema & Politics: the Avant-Garde Dilemma in the Interwar Period (1918-1936)
In this publication we would like to explore the relation between the post-1918 crisis of the liberal system and the use of art and image as political media including its nationalist, gender and class discourses since they reflect the political and economic transformations of the post-war years. Art and cinema allow us to observe processes such as accelerated urbanisation, electrification and the automobile revolution, the incorporation of women into the waged- labour market or class struggles, all of which fed the insecurity and anxiety of industrialised societies which sought shelter in growing protectionism and corporatism.

Santiago de Compostela
Eschatology is one of the central components of medieval Christian culture. The end of the world, the Last Judgment, salvation, Messianism, the Antichrist, the Apocalypticism and millenarianism are inescapable elements in what we may generally describe as "Medieval eschatology". It is the intention of the International Conference "The Medieval Eschatology" to provide a venue for reflecting on these as well as other eschatological issues that may be proposed. This can be done analytically or descriptively from both a practical and theoretical approach.

Imagined Identities and Communities in the Late Middle Ages
On December 9 and 10 of this year, the “Cultures i Societats de l'Edat Mitjana” (CiSEM) research group, led by Dr. Antoni Furió, professor of medieval history at the University of Valencia, will hold a conference with the title: Imagined Identities and Imagined Communities in the Late Middle Ages. Far from being strictly contemporary creations, nations, the most elaborated product of imagined communities, had their relevance throughout the medieval centuries. The most recent historiography has tried to establish the mechanisms that contributed to building this type of imaginary in which, according to some anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists, collective identities are taking an increasingly prominent role in international geopolitics. For this reason, this process is presented as a great opportunity to discuss the most recent historiographical contributions, and to try to shed more light on a transcendental historical phenomenon on the evolution of human societies.

Rethinking the Canon: Models, Categories and Prestige in Spanish Mediaeval Art
13th Complutense Conference on Mediaeval Art
¿Qué criterios han de guiar la selección del Arte Medieval? ¿Siguen siendo válidas las valoraciones que conformaron la historia del arte medieval en los siglos XIX y XX? ¿Se ha revisado el canon para hacerlo acorde a los intereses, métodos y perspectivas de la nueva historia del arte entrado el siglo XXI? Y, no menos importante, ¿de qué modo podemos conocer el aprecio y el prestigio de que gozaron las obras en el momento en que fueron creadas?

Populism and neopopulism in the Atlantic world (Europe and Latin America)
Definitions and concepts in the light of the political evolutions of recent decades
Nous assistons aujourd'hui dans une grande partie du monde à l'émergence de nouvelles formes du politique qui, faute de mieux, sont appelées « populismes » ou « néopopulismes ». Que l'on s'intéresse à l'élection de Donald Trump aux États-Unis ou celle de Jair Bolsonaro au Brésil, ou aux régimes de Vladimir Poutine, Victor Orban, la Ligue du Nord et du mouvement Cinq Etoiles, cette évolution politique a très souvent été envisagée comme une déformation pathologique d'une forme politique qui aurait existé sous une forme « originellement pure » : la démocratie libérale. Dans ce contexte où les concepts ne servent plus qu'à nourrir l'invective, il nous a paru important de réunir des chercheuses et chercheurs de différentes disciplines et horizons afin de privilégier des analyses comparatives ou des échanges favorisant les perspectives comparatives.

Patrimonios alimentarios, turismos y sostenibilidades
V congreso internacional del Observatorio de la alimentación y la fundación Alicia
El patrimonio alimentario, como el «patrimonio» en general, ha sido considerado tanto como una construcción socio-cultural, con capacidad para representar simbólicamente una identidad, como una industria de valores añadidos. Por parte de numerosos gobiernos, estatales o regionales, existe una voluntad de conocer el patrimonio alimentario de las poblaciones con el propósito de proponer políticas de fomento productivo y de iniciar procesos de desarrollo local mediante la valorización de los productos y cocinas locales. Las gastronomías locales forman parte, cada vez más, de los recursos susceptibles de ser explotados por parte de la oferta turística. Turismo y restauración no solamente contribuyen a la valoración de la cocina tradicional y a su posible recuperación si no, también, a su transformación y redefinición, bajo parámetros diversos y, a veces, contradictorios: por un lado, «selección», «reducción» y «simplificación» de aquellos platos y productos considerados representativos; y por otro, «idealización», «replicación» y generalización...

Rostros judíos del Occidente medieval
45 semana internacional de estudios medievales de Estella
The International Week of Medieval Studies of Estella tackles for the first time Jewish communities in the Western Middle Ages. Studies on this issue has generated a large historiographical output relating to social, cultural, economic and political life across Europe. This edition puts the focus on the profiles, the light and shade, the countenances of these communities. Starting with the history of the Jewish culture, its physical and mental integration into the medieval worlds, its presence in the lifestyle of the period and the images that were produced and still remain in the collective cultural heritage. An exercise of history and memory on the narrative of the Sephardic exile will open the sessions consecrated to the forms of integration and of exclusion of these communities and their material and cultural manifestations.

The presence of the absent: History, memory, post-memory
Europe-Latin America, 20th-21st centuries
If History as a discipline evokes the past from the present, the activity of memory is the product of the eruption of the past in the present. The absent is made present according to this phenomenological difference, although this distinctive mark is not what has sparked the reaction of historiography. This workshop aims to delve into the links and differences between history and memory in order to approach new issues that allow us to reflect on historians’ activity in democratic societies where the past has ceased to be a monopoly of professional representation.

Sedition and revolt in modern european political thought
We wish to bring together international contributors once more in a discussion of the political thought brought about by various uprisings between the end of the Middle Ages and the modern era, whether it be reflections over a particular event, or more general considerations over the causes of sedition and protest movements, the means to prevent or suppress new episodes, and their adverse – or regenerative – effects. This analysis will focus on political writings composed for government use or for a wider audience – memoirs and reports, as well as treatises on the statecraft that proliferated throughout Europe in the modern era and saw wide acceptance. There is a tendency in the current literature to make use of historical examples that are distant in time and place, and a need to consider the possible repercussions of theoretical reflection from experience drawn from recent or contemporary revolts.

Food-related professions in the Western Mediterranean
Culinary practices and food traditions (Antiquity and the Modern Age)
L’alimentation occupe une place majeure dans les activités des communautés, qu’elles soient l’œuvre de professionnels ou qu’elles s’insèrent dans le cadre domestique. Cette importance se traduit par la multiplicité et la diversité des processus et des savoir-faire de production, de transformation et de commercialisation des aliments. Les variations spatiales ou temporelles, séparant la production de la consommation, conduisent à interroger les modalités de ravitaillement et de commercialisation des denrées, ainsi que la saisonnalité des produits.

Challenges of Cultural Diversity in Europe and the Arab World
The era of globalization arises numerous challenges to accept plurality, differences and management of cultural diversity, especially, with the return of the ingredient of culture to the field of political action in a context in which culture has a central role in the post Cold War world. Globalization has tried to widespread certain values, practices and cultural expressions, whereas in numerous Arab and Western countries, refuge has been sought in cultural singularity and identity. Therefore, cultural factors have had their impact in the design of national, regional and international policies.

500 years of Utopia - readings of Thomas Moore
Quinientos años después de la primera edición del libro de Tomás Moro (Libro del estado ideal de una república en la nueva isla de Utopía, 1516), el término Utopía y el género al que dio lugar siguen entre nosotros, reflejando las esperanzas y las contradicciones de la modernidad. Es un buen momento para revisar colectivamente la recepción y el impacto que ha tenido en todos los ámbitos la obra cumbre de Moro: para reflexionar y debatir sobre la utopía de entonces, la utopía de ahora y la utopía futura. Convocamos para ello un congreso que pretendemos que sea trasnacional y trasdisciplinar, en el que examinemos las lecturas que ha tenido la Utopía de Moro a través de la interrelación de diferentes saberes.

Iberian bronzes - Iberian toreutics
À propos de la toreutique ibérique
El objetivo de este coloquio es la puesta al día y debate crítico del estudio sobre los bronces de la Cultura Ibérica (siglos VI al I a.C.), como línea de trabajo que inició y potenció el profesor francés Gérard Nicolini. Dicho investigador ha centrado gran parte de su investigación en el estudio de los numerosos exvotos ibéricos procedentes de los santuarios de Sierra Morena y de Murcia. Asimismo, fue director de las excavaciones en alguno de estos espacios, como en el santuario de Castellar, en colaboración con la Universidad de Jaén.

Utopian Imaginaries: Past, Present and Future
By announcing this international conference on Utopian Imaginaries we aim to establish a link between the past and the present in which the former may help to understand the sense and the importance of utopia in the modern world and, at the same time, inspire the development of new utopian perspectives. We wish to open a space for critical dialogue in which the work of researchers intersects with the presentation of utopian proposals and experiences by social activists. Thus, the call is directed both to researchers interested in utopian imaginaries from the perspective of History and other social and human sciences, and to the spokespeople of movements and experiences who claim a utopian horizon in any country.
