  The religious heritage of the Africas - heritage and religious mobilisation through the mirror

  Mobilisations patrimoniales et religieuses en miroir

  Ce colloque interrogera la fabrique du patrimoine religieux dans les Afriques. Depuis la fin des années 1970, le patrimoine s'entend comme « une notion (…) qui couvre de façon nécessairement vague tous les biens, tous les “trésors” du passé » (Babelon et Chastel 1980). Le patrimoine n’est plus seulement monumental : il se démultiplie et se décline de mille et une manières. Ainsi les Afriques sont-elles traversées par des mouvements multiples qui mobilisent leurs acteurs sociaux autour de questions aussi diverses que patrimoine religieux et identité ethnico-raciale, patrimoine religieux et imaginaire national, mise en patrimoine de lieux saints, d’archives locales et orales, patrimoine religieux et arts contemporains, patrimoines religieux immatériels, patrimoine religieux et plateformes numériques, mais également un refus iconoclaste des mises en patrimoine du religieux par certains mouvements fondamentalistes.

  Worship Sound Spaces

  Sound perception of places of worship (of different religions) via a multidisciplinary anthropological and acoustic approach

  The aim of this workshop is to explore, with a trans-disciplinary perspective, the various sonic issues project managers encounter when building or rehabilitating worship spaces in different cultural contexts. Building or rehabilitating such spaces should not only answer to requirements dictated by the building but should also take into account the practices, perceptions and expectations of the various actors and users of those spaces (religious officiants and practitioners, etc.).

  Call for papers - Middle Ages

  The Transept and its Upper Levels in the High Medieval Church

  Towards a New Functional Approach (Architecture, Decor, Liturgy and Sound)

  This conference is jointly organized by the Catholic University of Angers (Faculty of Humanities) and the University of Lausanne (Department of History of Art). It aims to analyse in greater detail the spaces of the transept and to explore their relation(s) with the choir / heart of the church. This two-day international and interdisciplinary symposium will work towards bringing together and assessing the results, often dispersed, of past and present research, building upon debates involving specialists from multiple backgrounds and finishing with a round table which will propose a summary of the papers and explore further insights into new research directions.
