    History and polemics: historiographical debates and the public space

    Ever since history became an academic knowledge, historiographical debates have been exceptional moments of construction, condensation and dissensus, often resulting in historiographical turns. Controversies around specific themes have divided entire fields of knowledge production, bringing into light different, often contrasting conceptions, methodologies and practices of historical knowledge. Such debates were, at the same time, moments in which the description and interpretation of the past represented a public intervention in the present, in which the defense of a certain way of making sense of history was also a way of taking of sides in a specific contemporary political discussion. Historiographical polemics were therefore moments in which historiographical knowledge had to confront in the public space other approaches to the past, thus making visible, and challenging, the paradigms that rule the historical discipline and public history.

    Shared memory(ies): Creation, research and politics in the European contemporary stage

    IIe congrès de l’European association for the studies of theatre and performance (EASTAP)

    Nous constatons l'enregistrement compulsif de nos actions « pour mémoire future ». Où se situe le théâtre et la performance dans cette problématique ? En tant qu'art de la mémoire ? En tant que dispositif mnémonique qui permet à une communauté de se souvenir temporairement ensemble et, surtout, de produire des mémoires, de projeter la mémoire dans un espace-temps de partage ? On peut parler d'un théâtre compris comme palimpseste qui laisse entrevoir ce qui est écrit, effacé, réécrit dans le corps-mémoire des acteurs, mais aussi dans le corps de ceux qui, étant présents, refont et refondent leurs mémoires en permanence. Le IIe congrès de l'European association for the studies of theatre and performance (EASTAP) a l'intention de réactiver la discussion sur le rôle de la mémoire dans la création théâtrale contemporaine.

    Revisiting the Belle Epoque

    Prophétisée par Nostradamus, la « Belle Époque », riche et contradictoire, surgit comme une période mythique de progressif agrandissement territorial (colonialisme), d’industrialisation croissante, d’accélération économique, de foisonnement d’idées innovatrices et audacieuses, de développement scientifique et technologique et d’effervescence artistique.

    State-Rooms of Royal and Princely Palaces in Europe (14th-16th c.)

    Spaces, Images, Rituals

    From the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, European monarchies saw a gradual centralisation of power. This was accompanied by the dissemination of political ideas that contributed to the making of a new image of the prince, which relied on visual instruments to assert and construct the prince’s sovereign power. Royal and princely residences with their designated state-rooms were at the centre of this phenomenon. Their decors, particularly during ceremonies, reflected political interests and ambitions that were essential to the image of the prince. By placing a particular emphasis on the decor of those state-rooms, this workshop aims to increase our insights into the relations between the architecture, decoration, and rituals of monarchical power in state-rooms from the late middle ages to the beginning of the early modern period.

    An alternative Francophone world - Francophone culture and its global reach

    Culture francophone à portée globale

    Alors qu’il est souvent question dans l’essayisme (Baverez, Compagnon, Jourde, …) – tant français qu’étranger –, d’un déclin accentué de la culture française, ce qui ne veut sûrement pas dire de la culture en français, plusieurs produits, phénomènes et manifestations culturels et symboliques francophones rendent compte d’une surprenante vitalité et créativité, souvent reconnue et relayée sur le plan de la culture globale, qui prélude à un dépassement de la portée exclusivement « hexagonale » du fait culturel en français.

    Medieval Europe in Motion 3

    L’objectif principal de ce colloque est d’analyser les phénomènes de circulation et de mobilité des élites lettrées (clercs, universitaires, praticiens), des enlumineurs, des manuscrits, des textes, des modèles artistiques et des idées liés à la pratique du droit dans le territoire européen avec une attention particulière pour les contrées méridionales (péninsule Ibérique, France du Midi et Italie). La recherche qui soutien l'idée de ce colloque dérive du projet de post-doctorat de Maria Alessandra Bilotta, qui vise à étudier les manuscrits juridiques enluminés conservés au Portugal et à mettre en évidence les liens artistiques et culturels entre le Portugal et le reste de l'Europe, avec un accent particulier sur les manuscrits des régions du sud (de la péninsule ibérique, sud de la France et de la péninsule italienne).

    The practices of wondering and lived memory

    Figures, authors, actors (Bragance, Portugal)

    Bragance - ville dont l'histoire se trouve intimement liée au Royaume de France - ouvre cette année un musée conçu par l'architecte Eduardo Souto de Moura, Prix Pritzker 2011. Contigu au Musée d'Art Contemporain Graça Morais, le site entend retracer l'histoire de la culture séfarade, très présente de part et d'autre de la frontière du Nord-Est du Portugal, laquelle est profondément marquée par l'errance, l'exil, la clandestinité. Cet évènement est l'occasion de re/lancer la réflexion sur l'étendue sémantique, thématique et critique de telles notions, d'abord associées à un peuple historiquement contraint à l'exode, mais dont le destin peut servir de (pré)figuration à d'autres expériences exiliques, notamment dans notre actualité.

    Images and Liturgy in Portugal in the Middle Age

    The seminar Images and Liturgy in Portugal in the Middle Age, organized by the CEAACP Multidisciplinary Group Study in Arts (University of Coimbra), in partnership with the Association of Portuguese Archaeologists / Carmo Archaeological Museum, is part of the set of project initiatives of Carla Varela Fernandes’ Postdoc (Sculptures of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in collections of Portuguese museums. An imperative approach to a broader knowledge of the scientific reality). It aims the presentation and discussion of recent studies and reflections on works of Romanic and Gothic art existing in Portugal. It is intended to address the medieval images as part of the liturgical rituals and the buildings they were designed for. On the other hand, we’ll try to provide advances in the knowledge on the means as an iconographic innovation or aesthetic generated at a given location "moves" and appears in other geographies, serving similar purposes.
