French-German interfaces in popular culture and the media
Intercultural mediation and the forms of perception of the other
Au-delà des médiatieurs individuels ou institutionnels « classiques », les mass média font eux aussi partie des vecteurs centraux de transfert interculturel de la culture et du savoir. Ces « instances médiatrices non intentionnelles » (Umlauf / Colin) seront au centre de l’intérêt du colloque. Du fait qu’elles focalisent et transmettent souvent des formes culturelles populaires, elles peuvent être considérées comme agissant dans la largeur du champ culturel. De ce fait, elles ouvrent également des contextes et des espaces nouveaux à des processus de médiation interculturelle. Ceux-ci en sont souvent exclus par la notion de culture parfois exclusive des instances de médiation intentionnelles, mais laissent néanmoins des traces profondes dans la mémoire collective.

Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment
International Medieval Congress
Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.
