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.

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.

Venezia Novecento: le voci di Paola Masino e Milena Milani
Il convegno ha lo scopo d’indagare il rapporto di Paola Masino e Milena Milani con Venezia, portando in primo piano una comune esperienza d’esilio imposto dal fascismo e mettendo in luce inediti legami all’interno di una comunità artistica che le vide partecipi tra primo e secondo Novecento. Paola Masino (1908-1989) visse un periodo d'esilio nella città lagunare, a fianco del compagno Massimo Bontempelli. Qui trovarono inizio le sue riflessioni sulla relazione donna-società, venne concepito il romanzo Nascita e morte della massaia e l'autrice ebbe l'opportunità di incontrare vari intellettuali, tra cui Anna Maria Ortese. Anche per Milena Milani (1917-2013) Venezia fu un luogo di scambio con figure del panorama dell’arte, uno spazio di costruzione della propria poetica nonché sede privilegiata del mestiere di giornalista e traduttrice per il Cavallino di Carlo Cardazzo. In città pubblicò le prime raccolte di poesia e racconti, tra cui Ignoti furono i cieli (1944), ambientò La ragazza di nome Giulio (1964) e fu operatrice culturale.

European ways of inciting and containing armed conflict, 1648-2020
The history of Europe is as much about violence and divisions – including religious wars, national clashes and ideological conflicts – as it is about shared cultural, social and economic accomplishments. If war has been such a constant presence in the history unfolding on the continent, the incessant efforts to limit its destructiveness are also an undeniable fact. It was such efforts that eventually led to the birth of Jus ad bellum and, ultimately, laid down the foundations of modern international law. From such a viewpoint, one might even find another definition of what European history might be. Some scholars have suggested that if war has structured a common European space, the containment of violence and the art of peacemaking have constituted ‘Europe’ in thought and practice.

Veduta – Landscapes, perspectives and panorama
The history of Venetian art, research seminar 2019
Voir Venise et son profil si singulier, fixer le cadre et la mettre dans une boîte : ce topos des voyageurs et des amateurs de la Sérénissime explique à la fois sa fortune historique et son infortune touristique. C’est pourtant dans ce territoire qui englobe la cité lagunaire et sa terra ferma que s’est aussi élaborée la notion même de veduta et de paysage. Une vue construite par le regard, en premier lieu, en tant que genre pictural, progressivement autonome de Bellini et Cima à Giorgione et Titien, dans un registre humaniste et littéraire ; mais aussi comme nouvel enjeu architectural et spatial. D’autres esprits plus scientifiques tâcheront d’élaborer, de recréer astucieusement ce que la vue offre à Venise depuis ses postes d’observation singuliers qu’offrent canaux, balcons, campaniles, jusqu’à ces fameuses altane. Patrie du premier travelling, Venise et son territoire restent un terrain d’expérimentation innovant, du Mondo nuovo aux dernières expériences de visualisation spatio-temporelles par le numérique proposées par le Venise Time Machine Project. C’est à cette « fabrique de la vision », pour reprendre la belle expression de Carlo Montanaro, que convie ce séminaire vénitien.

France and Italy (17th-18th centuries)
L’appel à communication a pour objectif de réunir des études portant sur des édifices parlants, c’est-à-dire documentés par des textes et des images évoquant directement ou indirectement les discussions dont ils ont fait l’objet lors de leur construction, leur entretien ou même leur démolition. Le contexte administratif de ces discussions et le profil des acteurs qui y participent sera restitué afin de comprendre sur quoi se fonde l’expertise de ceux qui, architectes ou non, parlent d’architecture. Une présentation générale du thème de l’expertise en architecture, centrée sur Paris et sur Venise, sera assurée par les organisateurs du colloque. Nous recherchons des études de cas localisées dans les principales provinces du royaume de France et les différents états italiens au cours des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles.

A global history of free ports
Capitalism, commerce and geopolotics (1600-1900)
Exactly how free ports arose in early-modern Europe is still subject to debate. Livorno, Genoa and other Italian cities became famous as major examples of a particular way of attracting trade. Between the late eighteenth and the nineteenth century the existence of free ports – as specific fiscal, cultural, political and economic entities with different local functions and characteristics – developed from an Italian and European into a global phenomenon. While a general history of free ports – from their first emergence to the present-day special economic zones – has never been written, this research network aims to pave the way for such an enterprise. The history of free ports research network is organising a number of conferences in the next years, in order to work towards a standard publication and interactive research platform for the history of free ports from the XVIth to the early XXth century.

Study day in honor of Bernardo Secchi
First edition – Utopia and the project for the city and territory
For today and in the future Bernardo Secchi’s work and intuitions nourish the reflections and debate on city, architecture and society. The Study Day sponsored by the Doctorate School in Architecture, City and Design and of the Università IUAV of Venice is dedicated to Bernardo Secchi, in the school where he taught for many years becoming a reference for many student generations. The aim is not only to remember his work, but also to deepen and to elaborate, case by case, his hypothesis, themes and questions by constructing new occasions for debate and intellectual expansion.

Lingue, saperi e conflitti nell’Italia medievale
Il seminario si inserisce nel progetto di ricerca BIFLOW - Bilingualism in Florentine and Tuscan Works (ca. 1260 - ca. 1416) [H2020 Erc Starting Grant n. 637533] diretto da Antonio Montefusco e intende indagare la cultura italiana del Basso Medioevo. Risulta caratteristica di questa stagione una peculiare articolazione fra luoghi del sapere (università, studia mendicanti, gruppi informali), protagonisti della disseminazione culturale (spesso personalità non immediatamente inquadrabili nelle istituzioni della formazione), forme e generi letterari di tale disseminazione, nonché loro forma linguistica (spiccatamente bilingue). Nel seminario, si indagheranno una serie significativa di case studies che rientrano in questo quadro, dando particolare rilevanza a tradizioni che si sono sviluppate attraverso lingue differenti, dando particolare risalto a fenomeni di traduzione/volgarizzamento, perché particolarmente significativi della forma mentis intellettuale del periodo.

Venetian Commodities, 13th-16th centuries
What are “Venetian” commodities? More than any other medieval or early modern city, Venice lived off of the trade of portable goods. In addition to trading foreign imports, the city also engaged in intense local production, manufacturing high quality glass, crystal, cloth, metal, enamel, leather, and ceramic objects, characterized by their exceedingly rich forms and complex production processes. Today, these objects are scattered in collections throughout the world, but little remains in Venice itself. In individual instances, it is often difficult to tell whether the objects in question were actually made in Venice or if they originated in Byzantine, Islamic, or other European contexts. This conference focuses on the question of how Venice designed and exported its own identity through all kinds of its goods.

Etty Hillesum. One hundred years later (1914-2014)
International Conference
Esther (Etty) Hillesum writings are a crucial historical document, as they report on the extreme evil of racial persecutions and life in lagers. They are a reflection on the value and the meaning of life, love and death. The International Conference “Etty Hillesum. Cento anni dopo (1914-2014)” (December 9-10, 2014, at Ca' Foscari University in Venice, Italy) aims to assess the works of this important witness from the 20th century.

“Venetian” enamels on copper from the Italian Renaissance
Artistic geography, collecting, technology
Enamelled and gold flecked copperware are a rare and highly refined feature of the decorative arts of the Italian Renaissance, of which less than three hundred pieces survive, and which are traditionally referred to as Venetian. Admired and sought after in the 19th century, when the main European collections were built up, these objects, whose origins date back to the end of the fifteenth century, were subsequently forgotten. The cross-disciplinary conference will shed light on technical and manufacturing aspects, and the forms and decorations of these artistic masterworks, which can be found in major museums and collections throughout the world, and point to the socio-cultural context of which they are a product. An attempt will be made to define a corpus of forms and decorations, to identify clients and patrons, thanks mainly to research into heraldry and symbols, and finally to trace their arrival on the European and American art markets in the 19th and 20th centuries respectively.

Call for papers - Urban studies
Italian Association for Middle Eastern Studies (SeSaMO) Annual Conference - Panel 12
This panel focuses on the renewed forms to build the city in the MENA region (‘environmental planning’, ‘resilient urbanism’, ‘responsive urbanism’, participatory and ‘collaborative’ initiatives, ‘sustainable’ urbanism…). The panel will tackle two types of spaces: informal settlements, where experimental forms and new methods are at work, and major eco-projects which have adopted in recent years ecological processes, along with global strategies. The major research hypothesis is that the MENA region shows at least since the 2000s new forms of urbanism that, to varying degrees, bring weak but maybe harbinger/forerunner signals of change and innovation, driven by the concepts of environment and sustainability. This is valid for both urban governance and the theoretical underpinnings of it, whereby professional training and the learning ways of doing, thinking and working on the city, shows some progressive changes. The panel will seek to understand why, however, the MENA seems to experience difficulties in ‘refreshing its software’ on regional, national and local theory and practice of urban planning.

Conference, symposium - Psyche
The religious experience of the ‘disease of the soul’ and its definitions in the early modern period: censorship, dissent and self-representation
Il tema della malinconia, nelle sue diverse declinazioni storico-artistiche, mediche, letterarie, filosofiche, psicologiche costituisce l’oggetto di una vasta letteratura. Del resto, lo stesso termine “malinconia” è un termine polisemico, associato storicamente a una grande varietà di gruppi di significati non sempre assimilabili tra loro. Il seminario intende approfondire le diverse valenze semantiche del termine “malinconia” in ambito religioso in età moderna, sia in campo protestante sia in campo cattolico.
