    Denunciation or dissimulation? Medical error in Antiquity and the Middle Ages

    Greece, Rome, Egypt, Near-East

    Mediator, Depakine, Thalidomides, contaminated blood, breast implants... health scandals over the past fifty years have regularly focused general attention on the problem of medical risk. They have raised many questions, abundantly relayed by the different media, showing us how crucial and complex the question of medical error is: where did the error come from? But before becoming a scandal, medical error has also been an inherent risk in the practice of medicine, since its very beginning. A mistake in diagnosis, prognosis or therapy, no matter how small, can have disastrous consequences for the doctor and the patient if not detected and corrected. Far from the huge media coverage of current health scandals, what is the status of medical error in ancient medicines and what are its issues?

    Mystic, language and image - showing the invisible

    Montrer l'invisible

    Une première journée d’étude promue par le Centre d’Études Médiévales (CEM) de l’université de Genève le 15 avril 2016 investiguait les multiples rapports entre les langages musicaux et l’indicible. Le colloque interdisciplinaire Mystique, langage, image : montrer l’invisible (18/19 oct. 2019) qui se veux sa suite, déplace la perspective aux langages visuels. Que peut apporter l’analyse des représentations littéraires et imagées données dans les récits et dans la littérature mystiques à l’étude des représentations verbales et iconographiques du divin et de l’expérience qui en est faite ?  La réponse viendra de l’analyse concrète d’un matériel à rechercher tant dans le patrimoine littéraire que visuel, occidental et oriental. Un premier volet du colloque sera consacré à l'époque médiévale et renaissante, un second aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles.

    The circulation of linguistic and philological knowledge between Germany and the world, 16th to 20th century

    By all measures, Germany played an overwhelming role in the development of philology and linguistics during the 19th century. This ascendancy rests on the transmission to other national academies of theoretical constructs and views, methods and institutional practices. On the other hand, German philological and linguistic ideas, methods and institutions were not constituted in isolation from the rest of the world : Transfers to the German-speaking world must also be taken into account.

    L’identité à l’épreuve de l’interdisciplinarité

    Aujourd’hui, les réflexions autour des « enjeux identitaires » sont au cœur de l’actualité politico-médiatique. Tandis que d’aucuns craignent un « repli identitaire » créateur de communautarismes, d’autres suggèrent que la création d’une identité européenne favoriserait l’intégration. Or, si chaque discipline s’est approprié la notion, l’usage qui en est fait paraît parfois hermétique. Prenant acte de la relative imperméabilité des frontières disciplinaires entre sciences sociales, linguistique et littérature, cette journée d’études franco-allemande pour jeunes chercheur(e)s se propose de réinterroger le concept d’identité en convoquant simultanément des outils communs à l’ensemble des disciplines et aux deux traditions scientifiques concernées.
