The junior researchers and PhD students from the Anthropology of the ancient world curriculum of the PhD course in Classics and Archeology are promoting the fourth edition of the seminar cycle Classicamente. Dialoghi Senesi sul Mondo Antico. This year's edition will focus on the varied methodologies and hermeneutical perspectives which represent the scientific guidelines followed by scholars in anthropology of the ancient world ever since its development. It will also focus on those approaches that today contribute to a constant enrichment and renovation of this field of study. Our goal is to offer to all those who take part the chance to present their work, be it the result of long research or elements of a work in progress, in an enviroment open to discussion between different perspectives (anthropological, philological, historical, archeological, semiotic etc.).

Narrative folklore in becoming: persistance and innovations

In a comparative perspective on the very long distance, the conference invites specialists in the field of Alpine narrative, western, central and eastern, to discuss with their colleagues who work on the Pyrenees and the Himalayas, via the Corsica, the Apennines or the Balkans. The main aim is to draw up new reflections on the evolution of these narrative practices and to understand their changing, profoundly heterogeneous, but at the same time universal.

Intersections. New perspectives for public humanities

HFC-INT 2020

The international network Humanities for Change, in accordance with the interdisciplinary spirit and the contaminatory approach that characterize its activities, intends to organize a day of study on the theme of public humanities. The meeting aims to stimulate some reflections coming from different fields of knowledge and to encourage the dialogue between researchers on the possibilities of the humanities to escape from academic circles. In this sense, the main object of study is the analysis of methodologies and tools related to knowledge dissemination practices for historical, artistic and philological-literary disciplines. Particular attention will also be given to new professional figures connected to the degree courses of the humanities faculties (such as the 'public historian') and to the interactions of these professional figures with the new media of communication and mass dissemination.

From ritual to myth: Carnival in European culture

D’où vient la profonde exigence sociale du carnaval et quels sont les thèmes et les motifs que cette tradition a fait émerger dans notre héritage culturel et artistique ? Du drame bouffon à la farce et à la grande tradition de la commedia dell’arte italienne, des observations de Goethe sur le carnaval de Rome aux compositions de Schumann (Carnaval, op. 9) et de Saint-Saëns (Le Carnaval des Animaux), jusqu’à la peinture de Brueghel l’Ancien, Monet, Pissarro et Elrond, le carnaval a fasciné de nombreux auteurs. Le but de ce colloque est de recueillir et de combiner des idées innovatrices pour l’analyse ou la reformulation de ce mythe, en créant un pont entre les perspectives de lecture les plus diverses dans le domaine des humanités.

Archives of archaelogical research

L'École française de Rome et le Centre Jean Bérard en partenariat avec l'Institut national d'histoire de l'art organise un atelier de formation doctorale sur l'apport des archives historiques à la recherche archéologique qui aura lieu à Rome et à Naples du 26 au 30 octobre 2020. L’examen d’une documentation archivistique en grande partie inédite et encore peu exploitée permet de reconstituer les contextes archéologiques d’œuvres antiques découvertes depuis le XVIII^e siècle et aujourd’hui privées de provenance précise. Les fonds de dessins, cartes et photographies anciennes, mémoires des académies et des instituts scientifiques du XIX^e siècle, constituent un corpus documentaire qui, une fois complété par l’examen physique des œuvres et des structures identifiées, permet d’apporter de précieuses informations à l’archéologie actuelle et à l’histoire culturelle des sociétés anciennes. À la croisée des regards et des approches de l’historien, de l’archéologue, de l’historien de l’art et du conservateur, l’atelier a pour objectif de présenter aux jeunes chercheurs une méthodologie éprouvée par les travaux récents mais encore peu connue dans le milieu universitaire.

MemWar. Memory and forgetting of war and trauma in the 20th century

Le XXIe siècle nait de l’histoire tourmentée du XXe, avec ses deux guerres mondiales et les autres conflits de dimension européenne, comme la Guerre civile espagnole. Ce colloque, organisé par le groupe de recherche « MemWar. Mémoires et oublis des guerres et des traumatismes du XX^e siècle » du Département de Langues et cultures modernes de l’Université de Gênes, vise à analyser les modalités de transmission mémorielle de ces conflits au XXI^e siècle, les représentations de ces derniers, les points aveugles et/ou obscurs de ce processus mémoriel, y compris dans une optique critique (Ricoeur, 2003) et, enfin, comment se développent les rapports de force entre discours officiel et contre-discours.

Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)

The COST Action “Islamic Legacy: Narratives East, West, South, North of the Mediterranean (1350-1750)” [CA 18129] is launching a call for a conference “Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)”. The event that we are disseminating is being organised within this project, which as the purpose to provide a transnational and interdisciplinary approach capable of overcoming the segmentation that currently characterizes the study of relations between Christianity and Islam in late medieval and early modern Europe and the Mediterranean. We aim to create a network that will help to provide a comprehensive understanding of past relations between Christianity and Islam in the European context through the addressing of three main research problems: otherness, migration and borders.

Caging the sky: artistic, historical and anthropological approaches to avaries

Ancrées dans le temps long de l’histoire des techniques, de la construction architecturale, de la domestication et de l’acclimatation par l’homme des espèces animales, les volières constituent un objet de recherche interdisciplinaire qui offre de multiples points d’entrée pour étudier les liens, présents ou passés, qui unissent les sociétés à leur environnement, pour explorer la place des oiseaux dans les imaginaires collectifs, mais aussi apprécier l’originalité des œuvres ou des constructions dont l’une des fonctions est de représenter, de signifier ou de rendre effectivement présente la vie animale.

The Becoming of Congo: Epistemologies, Practices, and Imaginaries

V International Congo Research Network Congress (15-16 September 2020)

The conference aims to bring together junior and senior scholars across the humanities and social sciences, sharing a common interest in the DRC. It specifically aims to provide space for transdisciplinary and comparative analyses and reflections, within and beyond Congolese Studies. This edition of the Congo Research network (CRN) focuses on the concept of “becoming”: the becoming of research on/around the Congo (new paths and new relations between "knowledges/epistemologies" and agents—academics, artists, writers, cultural operators, journalists and bloggers, activists and others); the becoming of Congolese culture (new places of creation and exhibition, new ways of sharing/transmitting knowledge and cultural practices); the becoming of land and questions of mobility, not only in the Congo, but also in Africa and the world (climate change and social justice).

The transformations of Literature and Art Criticism in periodicals between the 18th and the 21st century

Although unquestionably all-pervasive within the history of modern and contemporary press, the ‘review form’ has been to present an understudied practice. In fact, this multi-faceted, cross-disciplinary form that has persistently accompanied the different phases in the evolution of “print-capitalism” has hardly been analysed from a theoretical perspective. This dismissal by the academic world is certainly peculiar, if not manifestly contradictory; however, it significantly testifies of the difficulty of investigating such a slippery object of study critically.

History is a common good

4th National Conference of the Italian Association of Public History

In line with the Italian Public History Manifesto, approved after our association’s meeting in Pisa in June 2018, AIPH intends to contribute to the affirmation of a greater awareness of the value of historical knowledge, an essential resource for understanding the present, planning of the future and exercising full citizenship. The 4th AIPH National Conference of Venice-Mestre will create new opportunities for discussion and reflection between those who work with the past. The conference will examine ways in which history is present in society today, from universities to public places, in schools and learning institutions, in high and in popular culture and, finally, in the daily life of our communities.

Historiography of the Perception of Islam through Manuscripts, Korans and their Displacement

The aim of this workshop is to approach the question of the relationship between Christianity and Islam through the study of the production, circulation and uses of Arabic manuscripts, and mainly Korans, in the late medieval and early modern Mediterranean Europe. Our assumption is that the Balkans, Italy and the Iberian Peninsula form an axis of circulation which is especially significant for our understanding of the Mediterranean Sea as a comprehensive space of cultural, political and religious contact.

Cinema and the City

Interdisciplinary perspectives

The conference aims to explore the relationships established between cinema and urban areas. We want to stress the connections woven between cities and cinema, films, fiction and documentaries – important unconventional sources for the understanding of social and cultural contexts. We intend to focus on the modalities used in films to tell stories – through images and speech – concerning cities, territories, and places, residents’ lives in relation to spaces, to buildings, to landscapes, as well as to its urban culture as a whole. The perspective we have chosen for this conference is interdisciplinary and cinema will be considered as a medium to be understood and interpreted in several, possibly comparative, ways.

Writings by music-lovers - translating musical memories

Notre projet vise l’étude des formes de la musicographie, et plus particulièrement la façon dont l’écriture traduit et transpose les émotions provoquées par la musique. En effet, la mélomanie et la question de l’émotion musicale forment le nœud d’un paradoxe : s’il semble évident que le désir d’écrire sur la musique découle d’un plaisir de l’écoute, et d’une mélomanie plus ou moins affirmée, la critique musicale, depuis le début du XX^e siècle, s’est pourtant montrée très méfiante envers le langage des sentiments et des émotions subjectives. À cette méfiance institutionnelle s’ajoute une difficulté : la question de l’« émotion musicale » est complexe, car le rapport de la musique aux émotions s’est profondément modifié à travers le temps.

Uniting through division: "(s)partimento" in Renaissance decor

Cet atelier voudrait être l’occasion d’observer la façon dont une notion récurrente de la théorie de l’art à la Renaissance se traduit au sein de la production effective, dans la pluralité des médiums, techniques et supports, ou à l’inverse, d’examiner l’impact des œuvres mêmes dans la construction de la pensée théorique. L’objectif est d’élaborer une nouvelle contribution sur les tensions entre théorie et pratique dans l’organisation spatiale et sémiotique des ensembles décoratifs. Nous invitons les chercheurs spécialistes de la période à proposer des études de cas spécifiques ou des considérations plus générales, afin d’alimenter la réflexion sur l’émergence d’une véritable théorie du décor au seuil de la modernité.

Florence, a city of art and the French - the creation of a myth

La création d'un mythe

Ce colloque s’intéresse au rôle des Français dans la construction d’un mythe de Florence comme « ville d’art » à travers l’histoire, la littérature et les diverses formes de production artistique. À Florence, plus que partout ailleurs en Italie, la beauté de la ville, le paysage urbain, les grands artistes et leurs chefs-d’œuvre ont fait l’objet d’un véritable processus de mythification culturelle en Europe à partir du XIX^e siècle. Florence apparaît ainsi dans la culture française comme un lieu central et idéal dont le souvenir et les représentations infusent très largement la conception générale des arts, de la Renaissance italienne ou encore du génie artistique.
