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.

Territorialising modern spaces, 15th-19th centuries
2ème session
Cette rencontre propose une réflexion collective sur les actions, les projets, les figurations et les imaginaires visant à la construction des territoires. On peut définir le territoire comme l’espace qu’un groupe humain s’approprie tout à la fois sur les plans politique, judiciaire, économique et religieux. Il constitue aussi un lieu de construction identitaire et communautaire, dans lequel une histoire commune se fonde d’abord sur un rapport à la foi et la croyance en un destin providentiel partagé. Il est enfin, à l’époque moderne, l’objet d’une institutionnalisation et un enjeu de pouvoir éminent. Ces journées d'études internationales propose un réflexion sur le phénomène de territorialisation tout au long de l'époque moderne en Europe et dans les espace où les Européens se sont implantés.

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 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 la Renaissance italienne ou encore du génie artistique.

Territorialising modern spaces
Europe-Overseas, 15th-19th centuries; First session
Cette rencontre propose une réflexion collective sur les actions, les projets, les figurations et les imaginaires visant à la construction des territoires. Ce phénomène est trop volontiers envisagé comme un simple cadre explicatif ou un élément d’explication globale se suffisant à lui-même. Au contraire, la réalité de ce qu’est le territoire doit être comprise dans un contexte spécifique : celui de l’expansion européenne entre les XVe et XIXe siècles. On peut le définir le territoire en tant qu’espace qu’un groupe humain s’approprie tout à la fois sur le plan politique et judiciaire, économique et religieux. Il constitue aussi un lieu de construction identitaire et communautaire, dans lequel une histoire commune se fonde notamment sur les pratiques religieuses et la croyance en un destin providentiel partagé. Il est enfin, à l’époque moderne, l’objet d’une institutionnalisation et l’enjeu d’un pouvoir éminent.

Mobilities and European rebel itineraries in the modern era
Cette rencontre souhaite envisager la désobéissance au travers des acteurs. Les histoires de vies qui seront abordées ont pour objet de rendre compte des actions, des choix, des hésitations et des engagements marquant l’existence d’individus en rupture avec les autorités de leur temps. Leurs parcours seront retenus pour la diversité des situations et des itinéraires qu’ils révèlent, pour ce qu’ils nous dévoilent de l’insertion de rebelles dans des réseaux sociaux et politiques, ainsi que pour les formes de rivalités et de solidarités, occasionnelles ou durables, dont ils rendent possible l’étude.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology
Burial mounds and funerary customs in the Caucasus, Northwestern Iran and Eastern Anatolia during the Bronze and Iron Age
The tradition of burying the dead in burial mounds (kurgans), usually consisting of a funerary chamber limited by stone or brickslabs and covered by dirt and gravel, started in the fourth millennium BCE in the northern Caucasus and then spread south to the rest of the Caucasus regions, eastern Anatolia and northwestern Iran during the Bronze Age and Iron Age. The spread of the kurgan tradition, as well as the territorial, political, social, and cultural values embedded in their construction and their symbolic relation to the surrounding landscape are under debate. The workshop aims to examine chronological issues, cultural dynamics at inter-regional scale, rituals and burial patterns related to these funerary structures. The beliefs and ideologies that possibly connected the "kurgan people" over such a wide geographical area, as well as past and present theoretical frameworks, will also be discussed.

The author – Wanted, dead or alive
New perspectives on the concept of authorship, 1700-1900
The goal of this conference is to reassess, challenge, and enlarge the concept of authorship, by giving the author a post-mortem of sorts. To do this, we want to bring together fresh and critical historiographical perspectives on the concept of authorship, and challenge participants to think in comparative and transnational frameworks. Ideally, we seek to draw together work from a wide variety of sub-disciplines, creating a dialogue which connects often-separated fields such as book history and literary history.

What happens when curators and scholars are brought together in museums
Are there new and old ways of curating history in permanent exhibitions? How is it possible to bring together museums, academia, and the public? In organising this workshop, we would like to offer a place for discussion where curators and scholars from a broad variety of institutions (museums, universities, research institutes etc.) elaborate a joint reflection in both theoretical and practical terms, structured around four sessions: History, Responsibility, Mediation and Communication (between Curators & Scholars).

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.
