  The politics and poetics of museology

  40th annual ICOFOM symposium

  It has become rather banal to speak of the museum as a place of power. Whether one refers to it as media, as medium, or as device, we must understand that this institution, emblematic of occidental civilization, has always aroused the interests of local political régimes, whatever they may be. The creation of the British Museum and the birth of the Louvre illustrate the many different ways the public has of seeing the links between knowledge and collections. Furthermore the advent of each new political régime (from democracy in America to the Marxist-Leninist system in the Soviet Union, passing by fascist Italy and national-socialist Germany) marks museums with its imprint, as well as its system of communication, preservation and research.

  Rewriting: logic of repetition?

  III International Conference in Narratives

  The third International Conference in Narratives, organized by Universidad EAFIT (Medellín, Colombia) and Università degli Studi di Padova, proposes rewriting as an object of reflection from the arts, humanities, social sciences and communication sciences. To interrogate the gesture of writing a text again, it involves accounting for an operation that, in its apparent simplicity, shows the experience of time and repetition, the recording of memory, the tension between imitation and difference, and the means of reproduction and creation. Along its relationships, objects and notions that it implies, the gesture of rewriting is exemplary and heuristic; it has become a model for understanding various phenomena and cultural practices.

  Splendor. Sumptuary Arts in the Hispanic Middle Ages

  Le département d’histoire de l’art I (médiéval) de l’université Complutense à Madrid organise la septième édition de son séminaire international sur l'art du Moyen Âge. Ces septièmes journées mettront l’accent sur les arts somptuaires du Moyen Âge hispanique en considérant plusieurs perspectives : le rôle des productions somptuaires dans la culture médiévale et leur contribution à l’imaginaire symbolique ; l’usage des objets dans le rituel et dans l’expression du pouvoir ; la valeur des matériaux et de la diversité technique dans la création artistique ; la circulation des œuvres et le phénomène du collectionnisme ; la contribution de muséologie à la mise en valeur des objets dans des nouveaux cadres d’exposition et à la création de nouveaux discours.

  The problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology

  Antropológicas Journal

  The journal Antropológicas is accepting proposals for publication in its next issue that will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology. Manuscripts should be submitted to the page http://revistas.rcaap.pt/antropologicas/login by the 28th of February of 2013. Antropológicas’ number 13th will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology, because since the academic statement of its field of knowledge, ethnographic practice and anthropological writing had many debates, both for the originality of the methodology and the scientific accuracy required by their professionals. Among social sciences, anthropology was the one where theoretical discussion about its rationale demanded a greater critical capacity, by placing into question its methodological grounds.
