  The representation

  Les Cahiers d’études des cultures ibériques et latino-américaines (CECIL)

  The problem of representation is central to the disciplinary fields of all the human and social sciences, most often implicitly. This omnipresence sometimes makes us forget that it is a notion whose definition, status and function are subject to the fluctuations of history. What interests us is the discrepancy between what this notion has been able to encompass over time and what it encompasses nowadays, as well as the explanation that can be given to these discrepancies or possible ruptures. The reflection focuses in particular on the link between the notion of representation and the notions of 'heritage' - tangible or intangible objects, but also products of a social construction - and of 'memory', since it is constructed through concrete representations, whether social or discursive practices.

  Purity and Impurity

  Hamsa. Journal of Judaic and Islamic Studies, nº 2

  “Purity” and “Impurity” establish themselves as structural categories in both Islam and Judaism, embracing dimensions as diverse as the body, food, clothing and even space itself. The 2^nd issue of the journal Hamsa will be devoted to this wide-ranging theme, seeking to obtain diachronic historical perspectives. To this effect, we aim to promote the analysis of interfaith relationships, in those instances where purity and impurity are projected in contacts with the Other. Those dimensions concern not only the minorities, but also affect Christianitas itself, through interiorization of these concepts and their application to minority communities (as is the case, for example, with limpeza de sangue - “cleanliness of blood”).

  Lectures et écritures féminines de la Bible en Europe (XIVe-XVIIe siècle)

  Dans le cadre de l’axe de recherche « Profane et sacré dans la culture européenne des XIVe-XVIIe siècle » et plus précisément de la réflexion sur « Culture et bible », une journée d’étude est organisée au CESR sur la question du rapport des femmes à la bible en Europe entre le XIVe et le XVIIe siècle. La période est tout entière traversée, depuis la devotio moderna jusqu’aux Réformes, par des courants d’intense aspiration au renouveau spirituel et à la réforme de l’Église et de la société chrétienne. Dans ce contexte, la diffusion de la bible, de son texte et de ses contenus, soutenue par l’affirmation des langues vernaculaires puis par l’essor du livre imprimé, concerne un public de religieux et de laïcs qui va s’élargissant et se diversifiant.
