  Landscapes of the strange

  Art and research relating to the visible and invisible traces of conflicts - interdisciplinary and inter-artistic approaches to war heritag

  This symposium is part of the research project “landscape(s) of the strange. On visible and invisible traces of a regional heritage in transformation. Artistic and theoretical (re)-constructions of a cross-border history marked by major conflicts” started in 2016. To begin with, the project approached the notion of “trace” or “mark” in its material (heritage, architecture, vegetation) and immaterial (memory, culture) dimensions, especially those related to the concrete landscape of Lorraine which bears the mark of a conflictual history opposing Frenchmen and Germans, especially during the two World Wars.

  Machines

  50th conference of the Association des germanistes de l'enseignement supérieur (AGES)

  L’objectif de cette manifestation sur les machines est de confronter les études germaniques au récent tournant des études matérielles dans lesquelles la thématique des machines s’intègre. Contribuer à mettre en perspective d’un point de vue historique et à penser l’ordinateur et les techniques du numérique et ce qu’ils font aux humains avec les outils des sciences humaines est l’une des ambitions de ce colloque. Cette édition du congrès de l’AGES mettra de manière décisive doctorant·e·s et postdoctorant·e·s en avant en leur réservant la moitié des contributions dans chaque panel.

  Call for papers - Middle Ages

  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.
