Mississippi Delta Communities Facing Disappearing Land
"Still on the Map!" takes as its context the Mississippi Delta fifteen years after Hurricane Katrina and about five years after the commissioning of the major new "100-year" flood protection infrastructure. Expressed from its title -a statement of resistance/resilience chanted by many inhabitants during ecological events in Louisiana- this research project aims to describe the links and "attachments" (LATOUR, 2017) that different communities in the delta maintain with their geographical environment in a situation of strong ecological tipping point, integrating the natural and artificial infrastructures of the watershed into the definition of ecosystems as socio-political actors in their own right. In a context where the delta's land is gradually sinking into the sea, every hour the surface area of a football pitch is permanently flooded.

Le monde des arts s’offre au regard, peut-être beaucoup plus aujourd’hui que par le passé, comme une scène bigarrée où tous les possibles concourent à l’expression du monde, une expression subjective engageant un je, singulier ou pluriel, mais revendiquée comme telle, et quelle qu’elle soit : directe, donnée au figuré, sous enveloppe métaphorique, hybride, protéique ou … carrément inachevée. Le « non finito » dans l’art, s’il avait eu du temps, de Michel Ange, un aspect anecdotique, achève aujourd’hui de constituer une véritable mouvance tant dans les galeries d’art, les fabriques du livre, le septième art, les arts dramatiques avec des appellations souvent confondantes, devenues presque consacrées : esquisse, story board, rushes, work in process, mise en bouche, mise en espace, première (en parlant de théâtre), œuvre en devenir, etc...

Call for papers - Representation
The essential locus of the workshop has to be enquired into. How is a workshop organized? Which role is given to each of its members? From preparing colours to realising some parts of the painting, from building a mould to pouring liquid bronze into this casting mould, or from drawing a project to managing a work site, which evolution and which autonomy can students benefit from regarding their masters? Vasari has revealed a progressive vision of Art History, which still prevails in the discipline: students are inevitably ending up overstepping their master (Michelangelo and Ghirlandaio) or outshining their father (Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Pietro Bernini in the 17th century). But what about those who were not taken on and those who remained unskilled workers in their lifetime? Was their role really secondary? The ways and means of these artists’ dependence and emancipation regarding their masters, their model, or their technique has to be addressed.

Rethinking the Canon: Models, Categories and Prestige in Spanish Mediaeval Art
13th Complutense Conference on Mediaeval Art
¿Qué criterios han de guiar la selección del Arte Medieval? ¿Siguen siendo válidas las valoraciones que conformaron la historia del arte medieval en los siglos XIX y XX? ¿Se ha revisado el canon para hacerlo acorde a los intereses, métodos y perspectivas de la nueva historia del arte entrado el siglo XXI? Y, no menos importante, ¿de qué modo podemos conocer el aprecio y el prestigio de que gozaron las obras en el momento en que fueron creadas?

The Lessons of Rome - 4th edition
Les Leçons de Rome propose un espace de réflexion et de débat pour quiconque appréhende l’Italie comme laboratoire de recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère. Définir l’Italie comme laboratoire suppose d’analyser les contextes de fabrication des politiques urbaines aussi bien que les expériences de projet, les théories comme les pratiques, les héritages et les mutations tout autant que les orientations et les prospectives. En quelques mots, construire un savoir et une culture, mais encore tirer des enseignements et développer des outils opératoires pour appréhender le présent et enrichir les pratiques contemporaines.

The culture of architecture through the visual arts in France in the 19th century
Depuis les années 1970, de nombreuses études ont éclairé d'un jour nouveau, par des approches biographiques, institutionnelles, stylistiques ou typologiques, l'architecture du XIXe siècle, restée jusqu’à alors en grande partie méconnue. Aujourd'hui la question de la culture de l'architecture permet à nouveau de reconsidérer l'architecture du XIXe siècle : comment la culture visuelle de l'architecte du XIXe siècle a-t-elle pu influencer ses conceptions architecturales ? A l'inverse, de quelle façon les représentations architecturales ont-elles permis à un large public d'appréhender les édifices du passé et du présent ?

1917-2017: Comparative Looks on the Soviet Artistic Avant-Gardes
The Soviet artistic avant-gardes have been raising a specific interest for a long time. For instance, their multiple practices, their theoretical apparatus, their opuses as well as the influences they exerted have been largely surveyed by the academic world. Ever since the 1990’s a reappraisal of the multiple reuses and reinterpretations of those “avant-gardes” have been carried out. Our international symposium aims to question and put into context that reappraisal and the renewal it induces in the field of scholarly research. The year 2017 as an historical landmark, the centenary of the Russian revolutions, offers a conducive environment for such reflections and thoughts. While evocating various and contradictory narratives, this centenary leads to rethink the vast array of meanings embodied by the revolutionary events as well as to shed a new light on the opuses they produced or lived through.

Art, a machine for travelling through time
Le voyage dans le temps est un vieux rêve de l’humanité, qui, comme tous les vieux rêves de l’humanité, a trouvé sa place (privilégiée) dans la littérature et dans les arts. Ce colloque sera donc l’occasion de voyager à la fois dans le temps et à travers les arts, puisqu’il sera question, pendant ces quatre jours, non seulement de littérature, mais aussi d’architecture, de peinture, de danse, de musique, de cinéma, de photographie, de bande dessinée…

State-Rooms of Royal and Princely Palaces in Europe (14th-16th c.)
Spaces, Images, Rituals
From the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, European monarchies saw a gradual centralisation of power. This was accompanied by the dissemination of political ideas that contributed to the making of a new image of the prince, which relied on visual instruments to assert and construct the prince’s sovereign power. Royal and princely residences with their designated state-rooms were at the centre of this phenomenon. Their decors, particularly during ceremonies, reflected political interests and ambitions that were essential to the image of the prince. By placing a particular emphasis on the decor of those state-rooms, this workshop aims to increase our insights into the relations between the architecture, decoration, and rituals of monarchical power in state-rooms from the late middle ages to the beginning of the early modern period.

Images of Cambodia, myth, history and memory
Au moment de la commémoration des quarante ans du génocide cambodgien, le 17 avril 2015, il est nécessaire de témoigner, par des manifestations culturelles et scientifiques, de la survivance et de la créativité d’un pays qui a connu l’élimination de masse et la destruction d’une communauté artistique. La reconstruction politique, économique et culturelle du Cambodge est difficile ; dans ce contexte dramatique, les artistes ont joué un rôle essentiel, en particulier par un travail de transmission des arts traditionnels à la nouvelle génération. Mais les jeunes artistes cambodgiens sont en quête de renouvellement ; en questionnant le passé, ils cherchent aujourd’hui à comprendre la complexité de notre époque et à relever les défis de la mondialisation. En plaçant la question de l’histoire et la brisure identitaire au cœur de leur réflexion ils agissent pour contrer son effacement. Au cours de ce colloque, il s’agira d’interroger successivement les mythes et les survivances des ruines d’Angkor, les processus mémoriels, ainsi que les formes visuelles qui se créent aujourd’hui au Cambodge.

A Estética, o Espaço e o Tempo. Reflexos da Contra-Reforma na praxis musical
II Residência Cisterciense 2014
Em 2014 a II Residência em S. Bento de Cástris dedica especial atenção às dimensões da Estética monástico-religiosa, com algum privilégio para as temáticas da Música; a apropriação do espaço pelos sons, fazendo da música o fio condutor da residência, através de comunicações temáticas mas, também, de audições seleccionadas e comentadas a partir do extenso, e mal conhecido, espólio musical desta Casa Cisterciense dar-nos-á a possibilidade de ouvir melhor as diversidades conjunturais e os seus ritmos, as dimensões de valorização patrimonial, acompanhadas de sugestões estéticas em vários domínios no sentido da fruição plena dos espaços. Será nos diálogos, debates conversas e tempos de conhecimento dos projectos que nos ocupam ou que queremos vir a concretizar que a riqueza desta Residência Cisterciense se afirmará e que o projecto futuro deste património continuará a ser.

From aeronautics to air culture
Aeronautical research seminar
La sortie de l’ouvrage L’emprise du vol. De l’invention à la massification : histoire d’une culture moderne, de Nathalie Roseau et Marie Thébaud-Sorger (eds) est l’occasion, de réexaminer des problématiques transversales soulevées par l’émergence du vol et de l'aéronautique dans les sociétés contemporaine. Il s’agira ici d’aborder la manière dont le territoire aérien se construit par des appropriations techniques, sociales, politiques, artistiques. Que changent-elles dans la perception des échelles du territoire et dans les pratiques de mobilités ? Comment génèrent-elles de possibles attentes et imaginaires (récits, images, culture matérielle, invention technique) ? À partir de cet objet, il s’agira d’ouvrir plus largement un questionnement sur la vertu de l’interdisciplinarité pour la recherche que la rencontre souhaiterait prolonger.

Temporality and potentiality in the visual arts
From the Renaissance to the present day
Il s'agit d'aborder la question fondamentale de la temporalité dans les arts visuels fixes au travers du prisme d'une approche modale, prenant en considération le dépassement constant de la seule identification comme démarche interprétative vis-à-vis de l'oeuvre. La notion de « potentialité », plus que d'autres (notamment la « virtualité »), met en évidence les liens entre le caractère problématique de l'interprétation (le sens en puissance) et le pouvoir (le sens de la puissance) – d'où l'importance consacrée, dans le colloque, à la question du monument en particulier et à la mémoire partagée en général.

Courts and Courtly Cultures in Early Modern Italy and Europe
Models and Languages
The conference will focus on the topic of court culture in Lombardy and North Italy, within the conceptual framework of the SNF Sinergia project: Constructing identity: visual, spatial, and literary cultures in Lombardy, 14th to 16th centuries. This interdisciplinary project, which includes five research unities in the Universities of Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, and EPFL at Lausanne, works on Visconti and Sforza ages, when Lombardy, one of the most important European regions, established itself as a distinct political and cultural entity. It has been an exemplary case of the construction of a cultural identity, whose repercussions still resonate in present-day Italy. As a part of a potent political project, it has been sustained by complex mechanisms of self-representation and the imposition of a prestige taste. The conference will conclude the research of the Sinergia project discussing its results in a wider historical, literary, architectural and artistic context and verifying its methodological approaches at the light of multiple points of view.
