Light in the Religions of the Book: A Multidisciplinary Approach
If light is a valuable tool for the development of buildings, it also meets the requirements of practical and functional needs. Beyond its purely aesthetic role, it is indeed a way to delineate the space and to organize its occupation by defining spatialities and temporalities adapted to the functions of the building. In order to assess the significance of spatial and temporal dimensions of light, a cross-reading of architectural, archaeological, textual and iconographic sources might be particularly fruitful. The theme of light which, somewhat complex, constitutes a privileged entry point not only to the study of man's relationship to space and the sacred, but also to the development – within or between monotheisms – of influences, exchanges, ruptures, continuities and legacies. The goal of the conference is to explore the theme of light in the East and in the West, during the Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, in a transdisciplinary perspective and within five thematic panels.

Istanbul
Constantinople, image of the Byzantine Empire, 330-1453
Cette série de conférences sur la période byzantine s’ouvrira, en octobre 2010, dans le prolongement de l’événement d’Istanbul Capitale européenne de la culture. Après cet intérêt européen pour la ville contemporaine et son développement urbain, ce séminaire propose de s’orienter vers la cité byzantine et ses monuments. Istanbul est en perpétuel mouvement, ce qui permet la mise au jour de nouveaux sites ou la redécouverte d’anciens monuments qui ont été restaurés dans le cadre de l’événement européen. L’objectif de ces conférences est avant tout d’offrir, par l’intermédiaire de différentes disciplines, un nouveau regard sur ce thème de recherche.
