La villa après la villa

Transformation d’un modèle économique et d’occupation en Italie centrale de l’Antiquité tardive au Moyen Âge

Le webinar est consacré aux dernières phases résidentielles des villas de l’Antiquité tardive et sur les phases d’occupation postérieures de réutilisation et de réemploi de ces sites présents dans les régions de Toscane, des Marches, de l’Ombrie, des Abruzzes, du Molise et du Latium. Il s'agit de présenter et de discuter de l'état des connaissances sur les villas de l'Antiquité tardive (IV^e-VII^e siècle après J.-C.) dans les régions susmentionnées, avec des communications allant de l’étude de cas à la synthèse régionale, afin de vérifier le « maintien » des modèles interprétatifs du phénomène d’occupation des villas durant l’Antiquité tardive.

Classicamente. Dialoghi Senesi sul Mondo Antico

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.).

From quarries to rock-cut sites. Echoes of stone crafting

The conference aims at carrying on the international debate on the archaeological investigation of rock-cut spaces and stone quarries, considered as aspects of the same mining phenomenon: places in which specific empirical and handcrafted knowledge related to stone working is expressed and conveyed. The conference envisages a diachronic approach and therefore all case studies are welcome, without chronological limits.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Caging the sky: art, history and anthropology of aviaries

Deeply rooted in the long history of technology, architectural construction, and the domestication and acclimatisation of animal species by humans, aviaries are an interdisciplinary research subject offering multiple approaches for studying both past and present bonds, connecting societies to their environment, to explore the place of birds in the collective imaginary, but also to appreciate the originality of works or constructions that were conceived in order to represent, signify or house animal life. They make a spectacle of the flight of birds for the external observer and tend to celebrate the captivity of animals as a state of “semi-freedom”.

Summer School - Language

Pathos. Forms and fortunes of literary emotions

The goal of this summer school is to explore the role of emotions in literature, namely with respect to the excess of pathos in diﬀerent forms and times. Pathos has been a fundamental aspect of literature in every epoch. Great poetry has always foregrounded its ability to represent feelings, evoke intense and vivid moods, and elicit readers’ emotions and empathy. On the other hand, the novel – the genre dominating literary modernity – has been o!en accused of indulging in sentimental excess, giving too much space to melodramatic expression. Indeed, in Western cultures, there is a widespread suspicion towards pathos, which has o!en been identified as a shortcoming of literature. Great books – according to a common implicit assumption – can prompt reflection and laughter, but not tears: pathos only concerns lowbrow production. The summer school is an opportunity to engage in a reflection on issues related to pathos in literature in the last few centuries. Diﬀerent perspectives will be taken into account: specific literary works, reader response theory, cognitive narratology, transmedia adaptation, and publishing history.

New shape of sharing: networks, expertise, information

A forum on current issues in European librarianship

The New Shape of Sharing: Networks, Expertise, Information continues conversations begun at the New Directions Symposium held in Frankfurt in 2017. This multi-day forum of panel presentations, a poster session, and interactive breakout sessions on key issues facing Western European collections and public services will encourage both structured and unstructured debate. We will advance our understanding of the challenges and initiate action in three areas: design new models for collaborative collection development and services; explore a growing range of content and format types and what they mean for libraries and researchers, and highlight the evolving role of libraries and librarians in the research process.

Conference, symposium - Epistemology and methodology

Il Convegno, promosso dal Dipartimento di Scienze Umane dell'Università degli Studi Guglielmo Marconi in collaborazione con il Dottorato di ricerca in Scienze Umanistiche, ha l’obiettivo di studiare il tema della creatività secondo linee di ricerca transdisciplinari per favorire e valorizzare al massimo il potenziamento del confronto e la produttività scientifica. La creatività è l’arte, la capacità e la facoltà cognitiva della mente di creare e inventare: rappresenta una forma mentis che assume una funzione particolarmente significativa in rapporto ai nostri processi cognitivi, come l’intuizione, la percezione, il pensiero analogico, la simulazione, l’associazione di idee, la ricerca nel contesto di un problema strutturato, la riflessione, l’immaginazione, la rielaborazione personale, il pensiero critico.

Global Congo - the aesthetics and politics of world literature

Esthétiques et politiques d'une littérature mondiale

In this symposium, we suggest thinking of the Congo as a literary center. First, for the writers of the diaspora: be they in Brussels, in Graz or in Louisiana, the Congo seems to function as a pole of attraction, both textually and physically. A great number of languages intertwine (Chinese is one of them), and contemporary literature attests this cultural richness. Richard Ali A Mutu, for example, writes in Lingala and is translated into English ; Jean Bofane and Fiston Mujila write in French, but their novels are translated in a dozen languages ; JJ Bola writes in English. How does this linguistic parameter influence their writings? How do the writers consider the European languages and the local languages (Lingala, Ciluba, Swahili) ? Is the choice of a language the consequence of a political commitment, or does it emerge from the observation of the plurilingual character of the Congolese society? Moreover, approaching the Congolese literary space in a World Literature perspective requires us to broaden the very notion of “literature”.

Islands and remoteness in Geography, Law, and Fiction

The conference seeks to explore how, in many ways, islands appear to be “geographical paradoxes”. Indeed, they are spatially remote places, which are, at the same time, bound to a continent by social conventions. The grounds of such puzzle are manifold. It is firstly a matter of spatial area. Secondly, the puzzle depends on how the political power projects authority over circumscribed spatial realms, including non-continental realms.

Oriental monarchisms from the Nile to the Mediterranean

Organising monastic life in East Africa from late Antiquity to the Middle Ages (Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, 4th-16th century)

Ce séminaire organisé par l’École française de Rome et le Pontificio Istituto Orientale depuis 2018 est dédié à l’étude du monachisme en Afrique orientale de l’Antiquité tardive à la fin du Moyen Âge. Cette deuxième session est consacrée à la question de l’organisation de la vie monastique en Égypte, Nubie et Éthiopie et privilégie les études de cas. Les rencontres mensuelles entendent mieux identifier et saisir les normes et les modalités pratiques qui régissent l’administration, la gestion, le contrôle et l’aménagement des institutions monastiques. Une attention particulière sera accordée à la vie quotidienne des moines et des moniales en Afrique orientale dont certains aspects demeurent largement méconnus.

Aristotle in Quotation: An example of the reappropriation in philosophy of the discourses of past knowledge

Quatrième colloque dans le cadre du Programme Le problème de la réappropriation par la philosophie des discours de savoir antérieurs (Colloque 1 : « La poésie archaïque comme discours de savoir », 28-29 novembre 2014 ; Colloque 2 : « La poésie dramatique comme discours de savoir », 21-22 mai 2015; Colloque 3: « Platon citateur : un exemple de réappropriation par la philosophie des discours de savoir antérieurs », 29-31 mars 2017). Faisant fond sur les résultats obtenus lors des trois colloques précédents (en cours de publication chez les Classiques Garnier), nous aurons à examiner les citations (directes ou indirectes) de Aristote non seulement aux poètes archaïques et classiques, mais également aux autres discours de savoir non philosophiques.
