  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.

  The sources of international relations between the political centres of Europe and the Mediterranean (800–1600)

  Letters - Acts - Treaties

  The 15^th International Congress of Diplomatics organized by the Commission internationale de diplomatique, which is being held between the 4th and 6th of October at Leipzig, studies the diplomatic characteristics of medieval and early modern charters and the related documentation being used in “international” and interreligious diplomacy. The main objective of the conference is to analyse the "international" and interreligious repertoire of types and forms of the documents as well as their regional specific characteristics. Special attention will be dedicated to the different stages of tradition and the consequences for historical interpretation focussing on the internal and external characteristics of the diplomatic documentation.

  Seminar - Middle Ages

  Modern and contemporary representations of Northern Europe in medieval times

  Année 1 : historiographies

  Le séminaire (organisé par l'école doctorale sciences humaines et sociales Lille Nord de France) explorera la place de l’Europe du Nord médiévale dans les identités européennes. Programmé pour un cycle de trois années (2015-2017), ce séminaire interrogera la manière dont les Europes du Nord de la longue époque médiévale (de la fin de l’Empire romain à la Renaissance) apparaissent dans les représentations, savantes autant que populaires, des époques moderne (dès la Renaissance) et contemporaine (jusqu’aux productions culturelles les plus récentes). La première année, intitulée « Historiographies », se penchera sur l’étude savante de la période, en particulier sur l’étude du haut Moyen Âge comme « Âge héroïque ».

  Peoples and powers in representation in the Germanic and Nordic spaces

  Le traité de Kiel, signé le 14 janvier 1814, correspond à un tournant de l’histoire européenne et scandinave dans la mesure où il mit un terme au dernier conflit entre la Suède et le Danemark. À l'occasion de son bicentenaire, ce colloque propose de revenir sur les propagandes nationales et les représentations du pouvoir mises en oeuvre à travers la construction et l'utilisation de « représentations » et images du « peuple ». Il englobe la période qui va du XIII^e siècle à 1814, qui vit la stabilisation des royaumes scandinaves, la formation du sentiment d'attachement à la patrie, au souverain ou au pouvoir en place et qui s'acheva avec l'émergence des nationalismes.

  “People” and Power(s) in Representation

  Nordic and Germanic Space

  The Kiel Treaty, signed on 14 January 1814, marks a milestone in European and Scandinavian history as it ended armed conflicts between the realms of Sweden and Denmark. In order to celebrate its 200th anniversary, this conference will focus on national propaganda and representations of power through the representation of the people. The period under study spans from the 14^th century to 1814. It includes the Scandinavian realms’ stabilization as well as the emergence of a national sentiment centered on the homeland, the ruler or the reigning power and ends with the emergence of nationalism in Europe.
