Meetings, Conflicts, Exchanges: Mediterranean Space in the Middle Ages
Fernand Braudel writes in his The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II: “The Mediterrenean has no unity but that created by the movements of men, the relationships they imply, and the routes they follow” [1972: 276]. The position of the Mediterranean, at the intersection of three continents, has made it a vital location in these movements of men, women and children. These movements continue, sometimes with tragic consequences, to this day. In the Middle Ages, the meeting of peoples and cultures enabled the exchange of ideas, traditions, texts, languages, and things.

Netherlandish culture of the sixteenth century
Interdisciplinary conference
Whereas much attention has been paid to the Burgundian Low Countries of the fifteenth century and the so-called Golden Age of the seventeenth, the culture of the Netherlands in the century in between has long been neglected. Yet the past two decades have witnessed significant research on Netherlandish art, literature, and society of the sixteenth century. The period was famously marked by the twin flashpoints of iconoclasm and revolt, but it witnessed throughout a significant development in artistic, political, and literary culture. This interdisciplinary conference invites papers on topics related to the Netherlandish Culture of the Sixteenth Century. -

The divine painter figure. Demiurgical portrait and self-portrait.
La question de l’autoportrait à la Renaissance n’a pas ou peu fait l’enjeu d’études approfondies dans la perspective de son scénario de production, telle que l’entendrait Victor Stoichita. En impliquant l’idée d’un montage visuel savant établi par l’artiste, le scénario de production tient un discours qui lui est propre sur la peinture et sur la figure de l’artiste. Dans le contexte du nouveau statut de la peinture au Quattrocento comme art libéral, il serait intéressant de se demander comment le peintre met en scène picturalement sa propre nature de créateur. Qu’en est-il du peintre qui se regarde peindre, de celui qui joue de l’usurpation et du camouflage d’identité et se peint sous les traits de saint Luc ou d’autres personnages sacrés? Au sein de l’autoportrait, qu’en est-il de l’emphase placée sur un motif corporel, la main du peintre, laquelle renvoie inexorablement à la littérature artistique de l’époque et au lien indissociable entre concetto et componimento inculto, le dessin et l’esquisse informe ? -

Call for papers - Representation
Ce colloque international vise à identifier et à analyser des solutions patrimoniales innovantes pour l’avenir des monastères, des abbayes et, plus généralement, des couvents au Québec, au Canada et en Occident. Il s’agira ainsi, par la confrontation des cas et leur mise en perspective théorique, historique ou géographique, de contribuer au devenir de ces ensembles architecturaux, urbains et paysagers. Nous visons donc à cerner les moyens précis de la mise en œuvre des propositions étudiées au Québec et à mettre en commun ces expériences afin de concourir plus globalement à la résolution des problèmes soulevés et explorés sur la scène occidentale.
