    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.

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

    L’objet du colloque est le rôle des Français dans la construction d’un mythe de Florence comme « ville d’art » à travers l’histoire, l’histoire de l’art 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 depuis le XIXe 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 l’humanisme, de la Renaissance italienne, du génie artistique. Si la vivacité du mythe florentin a été bien étudiée chez nos voisins européens, en particulier en Angleterre et en Allemagne, la présence des Français à Florence, l’importance du mythe florentin et ses développements intellectuels et artistiques en France ont été relativement négligés par la critique.

    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.

    Multi-ethnic cities in the Mediterranean world

    History, culture, heritage

    This meeting aims to foster a discussion about the continuities and disruptions which have conditioned the multi-ethnic dimension of Mediterranean cities. We would like to focus on the specificities of places and time in our millennial history that have produced both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. We would like to broaden the traditional horizons of our disciplines under the issues of our times, questioning the role of historical research and the forms of scientific communication nowadays, when old practices seem more challenged than ever by the overwhelming expansion of new technologies.

    Actors and Vehicles of Architectural Criticism

    “Mapping Architectural Criticism” Second International Workshop Bologna

    This call for papers is for the second of three international workshops planned by the Mapping.Crit.Arch Project to foster scholarship on the history of architectural criticism and facilitate exchanges between scholars active in this field of research. Conceived as milestones of the research project, these workshops intend to go beyond somewhat widespread interpretations that invoke either the specificity of architectural criticism or its partial overlapping with other forms of writing. The workshops also want to challenge simplistic views that suggest the crisis of architectural criticism if not its entire demise. The second workshop will focus on the actors and “vehicles” of architectural criticism.

    5th summer school of economic history

    La Ve école d’été d’histoire économique, qui se réunira à Suse (Piémont, Italie), les 28, 29 et 30 août 2016, aura comme thème « Les économies de la qualité. Les personnes et les choses sur les marchés médiévaux et modernes ». Cette thématique permettra de poursuivre et d’approfondir celles qui ont été développées les années précédentes (la valeur des choses, la pauvreté, les biens communs, les moyens de paiement). La question de la qualité se situe à la croisée de l’histoire et de la sociologie économique, permettant d’aborder aussi bien l’étude de mécanismes productifs et marchands que celle de savoir-faire.

    Conference, symposium - Early modern

    The historiography of the Norman worlds (17th-21st centuries)

    Construction, influence, evolution

    The gathering organised at Ariano Irpino will examine in particular the historiographical constructions developed since the 17th century by looking at the place of the "Normans" in the "national story" of each country. It will also evaluate their influence on our knowledge of the history of the Norman worlds. What axioms have influenced the historiographical debates? Beyond their identification and classification, it is also important to understand their genealogy, their implications, their pervasiveness, their rejection and their deconstruction. The colloquium will also look to explore the orientation of a history of the Norman worlds developed from questions that go beyond national boundaries, schools and academic traditions.

    The historiography of the Norman worlds (17th-21st centuries)

    Construction, influence, evolution

    This colloquium aims to examine the "historiographical models" used to study the Norman worlds of the Middle Ages. This is understood to mean the interpretative frameworks of the past that have had a lasting impact on our reading and understanding of the history of each of the countries or regions affected by Norman expansion. With regards to the Viking period and the settlement of Scandinavians in various parts of Europe, the questions that have been posed are different and the responses given have strongly influenced each of the historiographies.

    Quatrième école d'été d'histoire économique

    La quatrième école d’été d’histoire économique se propose d’aborder la question des moyens de paiement utilisés dans les échanges au Moyen Âge et à l’époque moderne, prolongeant ainsi une réflexion collective sur la valeur et sa mesure, ainsi que sur les moyens matériels et intellectuels à la disposition des agents pour réaliser au mieux leurs transactions. Cette question des supports de paiement et des modalités de leur utilisation, largement débattue ces dernières années par l’anthropologie et par l’économie, fait l’objet d’un traitement renouvelé en ce qui concerne la période préindustrielle.

    Origines

    Percorsi di ricerca sulle identità etniche nell'Italia antica

    Il tema delle Origines Gentium, posto al centro della riflessione storica a partire dall’omonimo articolo di E. J. Bickerman nel 1952 e più recentemente indagato in tre tavole rotonde tenutesi a Bordeaux nel 1996 e 1997, continua a suscitare l’interesse degli studiosi provenienti da differenti discipline, sia sul versante più tradizionale delle cosiddette "scienze dell’uomo", sia nel campo di quelle naturalistiche. I risultati di questa collaborazione sono stati pubblicati nel volume Le Origini degli Etruschi. Tale pubblicazione e i temi in essa affrontati offrono lo spunto all’Istituto di studi sul Mediterraneo antico del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (ISMA) e all’École française de Rome per promuovere, in questo contesto dinamico di studi e ricerche, una giornata di studio finalizzata a riflettere intorno a questi argomenti legati alle "Origini", allargando il campo di indagine a Roma, al mondo italico e magnogreco, all’interno di una prospettiva mediterranea.

    Una “nuova” storia contemporanea?

    Le riviste digitali e lo studio del passato

    Riprendendo alcuni spunti di analisi emersi nel Convegno Sissco su “La storia contemporanea attraverso le riviste” può essere utile soffermarsi in maniera sistematica sullo sviluppo delle riviste elettroniche a carattere scientifico e sulle peculiarità della cosiddetta “Digital History”.
    Sempre più forte è allora l’esigenza di promuovere una riflessione accurata sulle riviste digitali e sullo studio della storia, con attenzione alle metodologie e ai problemi interdisciplinari posti dalla contaminazioni tra strumenti e linguaggi diversi ma destinati a integrarsi sempre di più nella teoria e nella pratica della ricerca, nella produzione storiografica e nel discorso pubblico sulla storia. Si tratta di analizzare le diverse forme della narrazione storica, il rapporto tra la pagina digitale e le fonti audiovisive, le potenzialità di un intervento in tempo reale nel discorso pubblico e il ruolo delle riviste online nella didattica della storia. È un percorso di analisi da verificare con una tavola rotonda conclusiva, con l’obiettivo di superare le barriere esistenti tra le riviste storiche cartacee e le riviste elettroniche, rafforzare il dialogo tra le generazioni e rilanciare, oltre alla dimensione puramente accademica, la funzione della storia e il ruolo dello storico nel dibattito scientifico e culturale del tempo presente.

    Italy in "equal parts": writing the history of Italy before the Roman conquest

    L’École française de Rome, en collaboration avec le centre Jean Bérard de Naples, propose 10 bourses à destination de jeunes chercheurs (M2, doctorants ou jeunes docteurs) pour participer à un atelier de formation doctorale d’une durée de cinq jours dans le cadre du programme de recherche de l’École française de Rome : « Italia picta : territoires italiens et pratiques romaines (Ve-IIIe siècle) ». L’atelier est principalement articulé autour de la question suivante : comment écrire l’histoire de l’Italie préromaine, au regard des difficultés méthodologiques et épistémologiques spécifiques à cette période et du contexte historique et politique particulier polarisé par la conquête romaine ? Le but, largement didactique, est celui d’un retour critique sur les connaissances, les outils et les moyens mobilisables pour étudier l’histoire de l’Italie préromaine.
