    State-Rooms of Royal and Princely Palaces in Europe (14th-16th c.)

    Spaces, Images, Rituals

    From the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, European monarchies saw a gradual centralisation of power. This was accompanied by the dissemination of political ideas that contributed to the making of a new image of the prince, which relied on visual instruments to assert and construct the prince’s sovereign power. Royal and princely residences with their designated state-rooms were at the centre of this phenomenon. Their decors, particularly during ceremonies, reflected political interests and ambitions that were essential to the image of the prince. By placing a particular emphasis on the decor of those state-rooms, this workshop aims to increase our insights into the relations between the architecture, decoration, and rituals of monarchical power in state-rooms from the late middle ages to the beginning of the early modern period.

    Medieval Europe in Motion 3

    L’objectif principal de ce colloque est d’analyser les phénomènes de circulation et de mobilité des élites lettrées (clercs, universitaires, praticiens), des enlumineurs, des manuscrits, des textes, des modèles artistiques et des idées liés à la pratique du droit dans le territoire européen avec une attention particulière pour les contrées méridionales (péninsule Ibérique, France du Midi et Italie). La recherche qui soutien l'idée de ce colloque dérive du projet de post-doctorat de Maria Alessandra Bilotta, qui vise à étudier les manuscrits juridiques enluminés conservés au Portugal et à mettre en évidence les liens artistiques et culturels entre le Portugal et le reste de l'Europe, avec un accent particulier sur les manuscrits des régions du sud (de la péninsule ibérique, sud de la France et de la péninsule italienne).

    Study days - Middle Ages

    The study of manufactured objects in medieval archaeology and the study of illuminated manuscripts

    Methodologies compared

    O objetivo deste workshop é comparar, por meio da análise de alguns casos específicos, os métodos científicos utilizados no estudo dos manuscritos iluminados (história da arte) e dos artefactos encontrados no âmbito da arqueologia medieval. Em ambas as áreas os contextos de criação e utilização dos objectos são fundamentais para a sua caracterização e compreensão. A partir de casos específicos tentar-se-á traçar semelhanças e diferenças nos métodos de análise que caracterizam as duas disciplinas históricas. Deste modo pretende-se compreender em que medida é possível adaptar e aplicar metodologias diversas de modo a obter um conhecimento mais profundo do objecto e do seu contexto.

    Images and Liturgy in Portugal in the Middle Age

    The seminar Images and Liturgy in Portugal in the Middle Age, organized by the CEAACP Multidisciplinary Group Study in Arts (University of Coimbra), in partnership with the Association of Portuguese Archaeologists / Carmo Archaeological Museum, is part of the set of project initiatives of Carla Varela Fernandes’ Postdoc (Sculptures of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in collections of Portuguese museums. An imperative approach to a broader knowledge of the scientific reality). It aims the presentation and discussion of recent studies and reflections on works of Romanic and Gothic art existing in Portugal. It is intended to address the medieval images as part of the liturgical rituals and the buildings they were designed for. On the other hand, we’ll try to provide advances in the knowledge on the means as an iconographic innovation or aesthetic generated at a given location "moves" and appears in other geographies, serving similar purposes.

    The diplomatic letter (2): the epistolary genre as an administration tool

    La série de journées d’études consacrée à « La Lettre diplomatique » tire son argument de la grande ductilité du genre épistolaire et s’attache à l’étude de la contamination formelle de l’acte diplomatique par la lettre. En effet, si l’acte se justifie par le droit qu’il crée et la lettre par les nouvelles qu’elle donne, la lettre peut aussi transmettre un ordre ou notifier une situation juridique et devenir de ce fait « diplomatique ». Avec cette seconde session, on attend réfléchir à la forte « diplomatisation » de la lettre à partir du Moyen Âge central, en lien notamment avec le redéploiement des artes dictaminis dès le XIe siècle, et à la diversité des emplois du genre épistolaire comme outil administratif.

    Afonso Henriques International Meeting: on constructing and consolidating monarchies in Medieval West (12th-13th centuries)

    Identities and Limits

    In the year which marks the 900th anniversary of the birth of the first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, the Centro de História of the Faculdade de Letras of Lisbon, decided, within the frame of its Research Group on Identity Models, to host an International Meeting in which experts on the construction and legitimation of new or renewed political entities and bodies, during the 12th and 13th centuries, as well as on the theoretical support for such development, might meet in order to debate and compare both the forms and the mechanisms involved in the construction of these new political realities and relationship between powers, which strangely enough seem to assume quite similar features in Medieval West during that period.
