The Renaissance of Mineral Springs in Italy and Europe 1200-1600
History, Culture and Ideas/Imagery
From the 14th century thermalism flourished in Italy, Europe and, last but not least, in the German Empire. Because of the elitist patients, who come from afar to visit the baths, ancient springs are revitalized, new ones developed, and extended with a sophisticated infrastructure. Simultaneously to a changed body culture an autonomous balneological discourse emerges for the first time, which feeds on ancient and Arabic sources and on empirical observations made at this time. In addition to the miraculous, the special social conditions one experiences during a stay at a spa far away from home are reflected upon primarily in contemporary literature, but also in painting, in which the ancient tradition plays an important role. Our conference aims at bringing together different disciplinary and national approaches to a topic that is flourishing, but has so far been treated only sporadically. -

Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
Quinzièmes Journées Lotharingiennes
Le septième centenaire de l’accession au trône impérial du comte Henri VII de Luxembourg nous offre l’opportunité de traiter le thème de la gouvernance au XIVe siècle et de revisiter l’histoire de la pratique politique dans une optique nouvelle, faisant la part belle aux dimensions culturelles et intellectuelles mais aussi aux aspects pratiques du gouvernement au niveau européen. On soulignera l’importance d’un facteur nouveau, illustré de manière éclatante par la promotion d’Henri VII à l’empire, à savoir la montée en puissance de différentes familles princières sur la scène politique européenne au XIVe siècle, ce qui permettra certainement de mettre en perspective le cas d’Henri VII et celui de la dynastie des Luxembourg, auxquels une place de choix sera bien entendu réservée.
