Caging the sky: art, history and anthropology of aviaries

Deeply rooted in the long history of technology, architectural construction, and the domestication and acclimatisation of animal species by humans, aviaries are an interdisciplinary research subject offering multiple approaches for studying both past and present bonds, connecting societies to their environment, to explore the place of birds in the collective imaginary, but also to appreciate the originality of works or constructions that were conceived in order to represent, signify or house animal life. They make a spectacle of the flight of birds for the external observer and tend to celebrate the captivity of animals as a state of “semi-freedom”.

Rebuilding / Restoring Rome

The Renewal of Buildings and Spaces as Urban Policy, from Antiquity to the Present

Everywhere in Rome, monuments are covered with ancient or modern inscriptions that not only contain the name of the original builder but also commemorate their restoration. Popes from the Quattrocento and Cinquecento who acted as urban planners, such as Sixtus IV, presented themselves as ‘restorers’, even when they were actually modernising the City. This phenomenon is not restricted to the Renaissance period: many Roman emperors already claimed to be rebuilders, such as Augustus who repaired all the damaged temples of Rome according to the Res Gestae, or Septimius Severus who was called Restitutor Vrbis on his coinage. Rome thus seems to be a city that constantly needs to be restored, rebuilt, born again. This conference aims to investigate how the notions of restoration and rebuilding were a driving force of Rome’s urban transformation throughout its history, from Antiquity to the 21^st century, as well as a political program put forward by the authorities and an ideal more or less shared by the different key actors of the city.

The italian fascism through the prism of contemporary arts

Reinterpretations, montages, deconstructions

In a more or less explicit way, daily news bring to our attention the survival of forms and values which rely on fascist imagery. Thinking about fascism through the prism of contemporary arts means to deal with a term whose significance has to be read at least in a double sense: on one hand, the historical experience of the regime that ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943; on the other hand, by extension, the very form of totalitarian power. Contemporary arts’ gaze seems to work on these two different albeit related topics: the Italian fascism as historical event (faced with all the troubles of its memories), and the fascism as the fundamental process of power’s relationship and rituals.

Industry in the Alps, between memory and the phenomena of heritagisation - 19th-20th centuries

The memory of work: Gazing from the inside

Au cœur de la journée d’étude se trouvent les processus de transmission de la mémoire de l’histoire du travail industriel élaborés « à l’intérieur », à savoir les acteurs directement impliqués dans le travail industriel. Plus particulièrement, cette rencontre souhaite vérifier et discuter de quelle manière et dans quelle mesure les changements économiques, technologiques et sociaux qui se sont succédés au cours du XXe siècle ont affecté ces dynamiques. Un regard particulier sera dédié aux processus de déindustrialisation dans ses diverses formes (restructuration des filières productives, déstructuration du tissu socio-économique local, tertiarisation de l’économie, phénomènes de délocalisation…) et à leur impact sur la mémoire industrielle. Elles offrent l’occasion d’analyser diverses questions, notamment : que reste-t-il du passé industriel dans les souvenirs des travailleurs et de la population qui en a vécu la quotidienneté ? Quels sont les éléments qu’un contexte industriel valorise dans une perspective identitaire ? Quels sont lesconnexions entre la mémoire et le territoire (lieux de la mémoire) ?
