Art history for artists: interactions between scholarly discourse and artistic practice in the 19th century

The conference seeks to examine the shaping of art history as a discipline during the 19^th century in relation to artistic training and exchanges between artists and scholars. The development of art history has been associated with an array of socio-political and economic factors such as the formation of a bourgeois public, the politics of national identity and state legitimacy or the needs of an expanding art market. This conference aspires to explore yet another, less studied dimension: the extent to which the historical study of art was also rooted in an intention to inform contemporary artistic production.

Historians and the Margins: from North America to Former Empires

En s’intéressant aux « marges », les organisateurs engagent les participants à s’interroger sur les discussions actuelles à propos de l’écriture de l’histoire et ses représentations fictionnelles ou artistiques comme sur les rapports complexes entre histoire professionnelle et mémoires, entre histoire critique et mises en scène muséographiques et commémorations.

Movements and flows in the Arabian Peninsula, the Red Sea and the Gulf region during World War I

Special issue of Arabian Humanities n° 6

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of WWI, Arabian Humanities is launching an issue on the history of the Arabian Peninsula, the Red Sea and the Gulf during the Great War. Focus on movements and flows in/from/to the Red Sea, the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf is meant to question the marginal position and isolation of the region during the war, to assess spatial and territorial reorganizations affecting movements and exchanges, and to give further attention to the region's global connections. What are the exchanges that can be identified during this period both in the region and in a global context? To what extent did the war impact on such flows in a region where borders and frontiers were still porous, ill-defined and fought over?

Monuments, Documents: Interpretation and Overinterpretation

Une opinion courante aujourd’hui veut qu’il n’y ait pas un instant où l’on ne cesse d’interpréter. Toute expérience d’une chose pourvue de sens nous placerait devant un cas d’interprétation et un produit de celle-ci. La question urgente pour la constitution d’un savoir « scientifique » est donc : y a-t-il une frontière entre interprétation et surinterprétation ? Autant l’interprétation semble légitime, autant la surinterprétation est-elle rejetée comme illégitime. Est-ce parce qu’elle apparaît comme une violence faite à l’objet que l’on cherche à comprendre ? Comme une brusquerie contre le consensus sur lequel la discipline en question est fondée ? Par ailleurs, si tout n’est qu’interprétation, y a-t-il encore place dans nos disciplines pour un réel progrès scientifique, et de quelle nature est-il ? (meilleure compréhension de l’objet, affinement des méthodes ?
