Bigger than a club: Supporters and historical identity

Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea invite les chercheurs à engager une réflexion sur la manière dont l'histoire est « fabriquée » et utilisée par les supporters et les groupes d'ultras. En fait, il existe un récit historique officiel réalisé par des clubs sportifs et des clubs de supporters officiels, maiségalement un récit « non officiel », produit spontanément par des groupes de supporters. Tous les deux s'inspirent de l'histoire du sport pour (ré)affirmer le rôle historique des équipes dans une perspective historique.

Litany in the Arts and Culture

The litany derives from ancient religious rites. Throughout the ages, however, it spread across many countries and became much more than a mere form of prayer. As has been demonstrated by our recent studies on the litanic forms in European poetry it is possible to reconstruct a cultural and literary map of European regions that traces the level of their participation in and contribution to the litanic tradition. The litanic verse is marked by religious semantics, but it also bears the mark of inter-European divisions, such as those experienced between and within various denominations, countries and nations, as well as the original folk cultures. Therefore, the litany may be of interest to scholars specializing in areas such the emergence of national identities and religious minorities, the crossover between art and religion as well as between music and poetry, the history of liturgy and spiritual life, the cultural exchanges between various nations.

Actors and Vehicles of Architectural Criticism

Architectural Criticism 20th and 21st Centuries, a Cartography

This second international workshop takes into consideration the actors and the vehicles of criticism: with these terms it refers to both the agents of criticism (critics, architects, historians, publishers, photographers, institutions, etc.) and the media through which criticism is disseminated (press, photography, exhibitions, etc.). The workshop aims to expand the knowledge about the specific functions of these actors and their networks and to outline their mutual relationships. The four sessions investigate the links between the actors, the media of criticism, and the historical contexts within which they materialize, as well as the cultural, intellectual, and institutional milieus from which they originate.

“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.

Symbol and Design in Contemporary Churches

The Third International Seminar intends to be an appointment of critical reflection on the difficulties that symbol has gone through in the twentieth-century liturgical architecture. After years of lack of interest for all related subjects, during the last decades architecture is devoting increasing attention to symbol, this way highlighting the ongoing corresponding anthropological transformation. However, this kind of research also requires mature awareness both of the reasons why it has become necessary nowadays and of the inter-disciplinary developments it has generated during the twentieth century. In the Catholic background there are two unavoidable reference points: Romano Guardini and the dogmatic pronouncements of the Second Vatican Council that acknowledged the importance of symbols.

Immigration: Fear and the Media

Magazine Africa e Mediterraneo No. 82

The issue 82 of Africa e Mediterraneo wants to investigate the challenges brought about by media and political communication, considering as focuses of analysis the communication processes within the European society (both of local media and migrants’ initiatives) and those activated in the African Countries, being aware that the circulation of ideas, images and cultural practices is more and more leading to a growing deterritorialization of the media and their messages and to the consequential crossing of national borders.

Architecture and liturgy: design autonomy and standards

The second International Seminar offers a new stage of critical reflection on the relationship between the liturgical and ecclesiastical guidelines offered by the Second Vatican Council and church architecture, and propose a reflection on what the terms of dialogue and the interdependence between architecture and liturgy are. The dogmatic constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium is a fundamentally important document in the Church's struggle for renewal with immediate and obvious repercussions on the architectural questions concerning the construction and organization of the celebratory space. Therefore, this Seminar is intended as an occasion to compare and propose various ways of seeing and experiencing the relationship between autonomy and the standard applied to the architectural design, in reference to conciliar liturgical instances.

Visible lives

Subjective dimensions of social vulnerability

Au-delà de consolider les connaissances sur la vulnérabilité dans ses différentes dimensions, ce séminaire international vise à déterminer un ensemble d'indicateurs, soit quantitatif soit qualitatif à vérifier dans la recherche transnational. Il s’agit de comprendre comment les sujets vivent de plus en plus individuellement au quotidien cette condition inédite « d'instabilité stable » et l’exposition aux nouveaux risques, thématiques qui seront au centre du séminaire que nous allons proposer.
