  Conference, symposium - History

  Foreigners in the heart of medieval and modern societies

  Europe, Mediterranean, and the Islamic world

  À travers ce colloque international nous proposons de considérer l’étranger non plus comme un acteur marginal permettant, en creux, d’étudier les sociétés dans lesquelles il évolue mais, au regard du fécond renouveau historiographique, nous l'envisageons au cœur de ces sociétés. Loin d’être un accident face à la norme, sa présence y est régulière, banale et familière. Minorité dans un monde de minorités, ceux que nous désignons comme « étrangers » nous invitent à une histoire interrogeant les méthodes et les cadres intellectuels de nos travaux portés sur les sociétés médiévales et modernes européennes et méditerranéennes.

  Facts and Values in Aesthetics: Contemporary Stakes and Approaches

  In a text entitled The Collapse of the Fact/Value Dichotomy and Other Essays (2004), Hilary Putnam argues convincingly against a classic opposition which does not serve philosophical reflection positively. Putnam’s analysis mostly focuses on the theory and practice of knowledge, but one can legitimately extend it to other fields, starting with that of aesthetics, which sooner or later is confronted with the question of whether one defends or rejects the dichotomy. Keeping or rejecting it implies reasons to do so, but often these reasons remain implicit, most especially in aesthetics.

  L’Officina del racconto

  Ricercando ascoltabdo archiviando diffondendo creando

  Scopo della giornata di studio è ancorare il progetto di ricerca, ascolto e raccolta dei patrimoni narrativi e orali del territorio fiesolano in un contesto di studi, competenze e passioni. Promosso dall’associazione culturale “Fiesole Futura”, il progetto “Fiesole Officina del racconto” si inserisce in un percorso di conoscenza e valorizzazione del territorio fiesolano, impegnato a ripensare il proprio patrimonio culturale. Le biografie, le testimonianze tematiche, le tradizioni trasmesse oralmente, la memoria storica del territorio, i saperi e le rappresentazioni narrative dell’ambiente e del paesaggio, le percezioni del cambiamento sono luoghi espressivi delle culture locali nel movimento della storia. Impegnarsi nel riconoscimento di tratti culturali condivisi è impresa collettiva, i cui protagonisti sono gli abitanti del territorio, ma alla quale la ricerca e le tradizioni di studio possono contribuire.
