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.

Africa narrates itself: media, opinions, influential figures
These days communication and information are characterized by immediacy, speed, and interactivity. Facebook and Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, and blogs transmit a perpetual flow of information, shared videos, pictures, and other content which creates networks and incentivizes sharing in a constantly evolving language. Contemporary mass media therefore ensures that, today more than ever, people in African countries are at the same time autonomous producers and users of a debate, through partly traditional, partly innovative channels, about life in Africa and African communities’ identity, with a tale that travels across the borders of individual countries and the continent itself.

The world of Gennaro Magri - dance, music and opera in the Enlightenment
Danse, musique et opéra dans l’Europe des Lumières
Centré in primis sur l’œuvre de Gennaro Magri (ca. 1735-1780), maître de ballet au Théâtre San Carlo de Naples et auteur du Trattato teorico-prattico del Ballo (1779), ce colloque a pour objectif de se pencher sur la vie et la carrière de Magri en Italie et en Europe, et plus largement de réfléchir sur le rôle de la danse à Naples dans le contexte européen. Dans une perspective théorico-pratique, ce colloque sera le lieu d’un questionnement sur l’histoire, la technique, l’esthétique et la poétique de la danse théâtrale notamment dans ses rapports aux autres arts : il s’agira de réfléchir sur les enjeux culturels et sociaux liés à la relation entre danse noble et danse comique, entre style italien et style français, dans le dialogue interculturel entre les nations.

The social responsability of journalists
Comunicazionepuntodoc journal (December 2016)
Ce dossier spécial de Comunicazionepuntodoc, se propose comme un moment de réflexion collective et transnationale sur les tentatives de réaffirmation du rôle des journalistes en général dans les démocraties modernes... Il ne s’agit donc pas de faire une étude sur le traitement médiatique de la diversité, ou d’engager la profession dans une posture militante qui consisterait à promouvoir cette question de la diversité, mais bien d’interroger et de comprendre l’exercice de la profession de journaliste dans cette configuration particulière et ainsi répondre aux défis de nos sociétés contemporaines.

39th annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) symposium
Have visitors ever wondered how museums acquire the wonderful things they present to the enquiring public? It is certain that some do, but how many would see the museum as a predator? Would they ever recognize the museum activity of acquiring the valued collections that are put on display as the result of a predatory undertaking? It is true that museums are discerning but eager recipients of gifts offered by individuals who cross their threshold and who are willing to donate or bequeath their treasured possessions to their local museum. These ongoing acts of charity aside, museums have other avenues of collection-building which they explore and have done so since their inception.

Building Audiences for the Book in an Age of Media Proliferation
By the book 3
"By the Book 3" brings together scholars from the field of publishing studies, alongside industry professionals, to examine key issues around the digital transformation of the book, as well as to discuss the developing field of publishing studies. If we examine global book production over the last 70 years, there is a clear discrepancy between the growth in population, the number of titles published, and the number of books sold and lent. This divergent trends in book production and consumption pose a set of pressing questions related to the publishing economy, marketing and skills.

Banlieues : quelles représentations contemporaines des quartiers « sensibles » ?
Depuis les trente dernières années, le mot banlieue désigne l’inscription territoriale d’une question sociale, comme le souligne l’historienne experte de la banlieue parisienne Annie Fourcaut. Très en vogue dans les débats médiatiques et politiques, notamment depuis les premières émeutes urbaines médiatisées des années 1990 jusqu’à arriver aux plus violentes en 2005, les banlieues entendues comme quartiers « sensibles », semblent rassembler autour d’elles et de leur jeunesse surtout, les connotations les plus disparates et péjoratives : paupérisation socio / économique, ségrégation résidentielle, dégradation du bâtiment, violence et délinquance. Le projet de ce colloque s’inscrit dans ce contexte d’actualité et vise à réfléchir sur les représentations sociales et artistiques contemporaines de ces lieux, incluant la littérature et les arts visuels tels que le cinéma, la photographie et les arts urbains.

Pourquoi transmettre la connaissance des arts ?
La contribution des musées
Dans une société toujours plus matérialiste où les savoirs sont essentiellement jugés au regard de leur utilité instrumentale, comment justifier la transmission des savoirs artistiques ? Quels en sont les enjeux de citoyenneté ? Et quelle peut être la contribution spécifique des musées ? Faisant suite au colloque organisé en 2009 au Palais Strozzi, Pourquoi enseigner l’histoire de l’art ?, cette nouvelle initiative permettra d’échanger sur un vaste ensemble de questions allant des principaux enjeux démocratiques de la connaissance artistique dans notre société, jusqu’aux techniques pédagogiques les plus efficaces, notamment celles recourant au numérique. Avec cette manifestation, notre souhait serait d’engager un cycle biennal qui permettrait de faire régulièrement un « état de la transmission artistique » en Europe. Tous les deux ans, un grand musée européen accueillerait ainsi la réflexion la plus large sur cette question assurément déterminante pour l’avenir de la démocratie telle que nous la cultivons. Un monde où l’art et la pensée demeurent une condition de la liberté.

Il Laterizio nei cantieri imperiali — Roma ed il Mediterraneo
Questo workshop intende promuovere il dibattito, su scala mediterranea, intorno al materiale di costruzione emblematico dell’architettura antica. Si tratterà in particolare di osservare come il laterizio abbia servito il potere imperiale, come abbia partecipato all’innovazione e alla trasmissione del sapere tecnico romano, come abbia influenzato e determinato l’organizzazione dei cantieri imperiali, com’è stato prodotto e diffuso attraverso l’Impero ed infine, come si è integrato nei processi di romanizzazione.

Democratic Highbrow. Bloomsbury between élite and mass culture
Democratic Highbrow. Bloomsbury tra élite e cultura di massa
Bloomsbury group represented a new way of living and working which marked a definitive break with the Victorian tradition and paved the way to modernity in the English culture. Between the wars the group was perceived by the British public alternatively as a stronghold of culture and civilization against barbarism and as the despicable epitome of modernist intellectual elitism. Nowadays Bloomsbury is a major presence in the cultural industry but, at the same time, it continues to raise questions and stimulate critical reflections: was it a coterie or a democratic avant-garde, an intellectual authority or an eccentric circle that “lived in squares and loved in triangles?” These are the issues that the conference seeks to address in a multidisciplinary perspective encompassing sociology of cultural processes and history of art, economics and history of ideas, literature and cultural history.

Meyerbeer and French Grand opéra
Organized in conjunction with the 150° anniversary of the death of Giacomo Meyerbeer, this conference aims to celebrate this composer as well as the development of French Grand opéra after 1831 (the year of Robert le diable). Meyerbeer’s theatrical production system estabilished a Grand opéra model in France and abroad that promoted the reputationy of Parisian productions. The Meyerbeerian standard was assimilated particularly in Germany and Italy; but it also provoked severe criticism, sometimes related to extra-operatic issues such as the composer’s Jewish origin.
