La rencontre propose de revoir les hypothèses sur la production, la fonctionnalité et la circulation de ces objets de luxe, le collectionnisme et les enjeux de la conservation de ces œuvres.

    The Transatlantic Embrace: Spanish Civil War in America’s Intimate Distance

    "Forma" Revista d'estudis comparatius. Art, literatura, pensament

    Spanish Civil War has been studied under its multiple angles. This can also be said about the literature concerning this topic: novels, poems, and all literary forms generated by this armed conflict (both by Spanish and foreign intellectuals) have been commented by academic criticism from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. However, fewer approaches have set the axis of their critical focus on the importance of the Spanish conflict in America and its decisive relevance as a part of a phenomenon that is also American. This special number of the FORMA journal sets out to give a voice to all types of contributions able to shed a new light on this fundamental aspect of the war, whose causes and consequences are clearly rooted in Spain, but whose horizon overflows the peninsular and continental borders and requires an inevitably transatlantic point of view.

    Sedition and Revolt in Modern European Political Thought

    As part of the ANR project “Cultures of Revolts and revolutions in Europe”, we wish to bring together international contributors in a discussion of the european political thought brought about by various uprisings between the end of the Middle Ages and the modern era, whether it be reflections over a particular event, or more general considerations over the causes of sedition and protest movements, the means to prevent or suppress new episodes, and their adverse – or regenerative – effects.

    Letters from women in medieval Europe (11th-15th century)

    Miroir de l’âme mais aussi instrument de communication et d’action politique, la lettre est un objet d’étude qui suscite, depuis quelques années, une attention particulière. La correspondance des femmes est cependant un domaine encore peu exploré et, en dépit de travaux ponctuels sur la production épistolaire de quelques reines, princesses ou nobles dames, rares sont les études d’ensemble sur ce sujet. Pourtant, les lettres de femmes contiennent de précieuses informations sur leur vie, leurs aspirations, et leur rôle au sein de la société. Consacrées aux documents de la pratique mais aussi aux lettres fictives que l’on trouve dans l’historiographie et la littérature, les communications présentées lors de ce colloque examineront les spécificités de ces divers écrits.

    Boethius revisited

    The reception of his works and his influence on European literature from the Middle-Ages to the present time

    With the contribution of specialists in several branches of humanities, our purpose is to bring to light some neglected or partially studied aspects of this great classical thinker and exemplary figure of scientific eclecticism, who played a great part in the universalization of knowledge. We will pay special attention to the way in which Boethius’ scientific and cultural legacy was included in the works of other European authors, and was renewed according to the feelings, anxieties and aspirations particular to every age and historical context.

    Literature and democratic transitions: case studies

    Literaturas y transiciones democráticas: estudio de casos

    Depuis plus d’une vingtaine d’années, la question des rapports de la littérature et de la démocratie se pose dans un contexte de renouvellement de l’intérêt pour la nature des liens qu’entretiennent la littérature et la politique, mais aussi de reconfiguration des questionnements que les sciences humaines et sociales adressent à la littérature, qu’elles la tiennent pour l’exemple déjà réalisé d’organisations cognitives et de catégorisations politiques et morales, pour un savoir social, pour une forme de connaissance ou de philosophie pratique, etc. Les transitions démocratiques intervenues depuis le milieu des années 1970 en Europe du Sud, en Amérique latine, en Asie, en Europe de l’Est à partir de 1989, et dans certains pays arabes récemment ne sont pas étrangères à ces interrogations. On se propose d’analyser précisément comment la littérature s’est trouvée mêlée à ces processus historiques, d’étudier la manière dont elle peut participer d’une logique de formulation de la démocratie.
