Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality
A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History
PhD students from the XXXIV cycle of the joint PhD Programme in Historical, Geographical, Anthropological Studies (University of Padova, Ca' Foscari Venice, Verona) are happy to invite you to their conference, titled "Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality. A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History". We will be exploring the interactions between various examples of Crises and Infrastructural response, trying to push for an interdisciplinary dialogue. We aim to reflect not only on the role of infrastructures as means of problem-solving, but also on the varied outcomes of critical moments. For more information, please see the detailed program attached.

A pluridisciplinary approach to a construction technique in Europe
Portant sur l’architecture rurale et urbaine en pan debois, ce colloque réunira des chercheurs européens afin de croiser les réflexions sur de nombreuses thématiques : approvisionnement des chantiers et économie de laconstruction, modes d’habitation, aspects structuraux, mise en œuvre des matériaux et décor seront ainsi comparés sur une longue période, s’étalant du XIIIe au XVIIIe siècle. Archéologues, historiens de la construction, ethnologues, chercheurs à l’Inventaire ou architectes, par la diversité de leur approche, éclaireront l’ensemble des caractéristiques et spécificités des pans de bois, mettant en évidence particularismes et savoir faire locaux, apparition de procédés novateurs ou au contraire perpétuation de certaines techniques.

Travel to, in, and from the Ottoman World and Turkish Republic
Turkish Journal of History (Tarih Dergisi)
For this special issue of Tarih Dergisi, the Turkish Journal of History, we invite original research addressing questions arising from travel to, in, and from the Ottoman Empire and Turkish Republic. Essays may focus on the place of travel writing in historiography. They may also address any and all aspects of travel. We particularly welcome studies of travel works in any format – books, manuscripts, letters, diaries, journals, reports, log-books, cartography, web-blogs – by Ottoman, Turkish, Arab, Asiatic and African travellers of any period. Essays need not, however, be restricted to conventional travelogues by individual travellers. We welcome studies concerned with modes of travel (pedestrianism, equestrian travel, trains, cars, planes, boats), and with questions involving mass travel (migrancy, nomadism, deportation).

Bodies in the city: norms and disparities in the 19th century
Arts et savoirs journal on OpenEdition
La recherche en littérature et en sciences humaines – les études dixneuviémistes en particulier – continuent de témoigner régulièrement de l'engouement suscité par la question de la représentation des corps, propice à une multiplicité d'approches et de croisements disciplinaires, qu'ont nourris en particulier les travaux d'Alain Corbin et Georges Vigarello. Les mutations que connaît l'espace urbain au XIXe siècle imposent aux corps de nouvelles normes, dont peuvent faire état le roman réaliste, la littérature dite panoramique ou encore la presse, et définissent dans le même temps de nouvelles marginalités. Dans un contexte qui se caractérise par un renouvellement des méthodes d’observation scientifique, mais aussi par des réaménagements urbains et l'inauguration de nouveaux lieux dans la ville, il s’agira d’interroger la scientificité du regard que porte le XIXe siècle sur les corps voués à occuper cet espace.

Greece(s) - Histoire de l'art journal, no 86
Histoire de l'art, no 86
2021 marks the bicentennial of the Greek uprising which resulted, at the end of a long war, in the country’s independence:Greece was thus born as a modern nation while romanticism, particularly in France, made it one of its favorite themes,carrying out out a vibrant philhellenic movement. The commemoration should not, however, cover up that there were andare other Greeces, from antiquity to our own day. The theme of this issue is also given in the plural since the construction of Greek art in the modern era is but one of the phenomena considered here. It is the plurality of constructions of Greecein art which unifies the collection of studies and essays which we envision.

Revisiting the Italian architectural debate 1952-1966 (1/2)
La scène italienne des années 1960 constitue un des foyers les plus intenses de la théorie architecturale et urbaine de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. À l’image des études pionnières de Saverio Muratori sur Venise et sur Rome (1959-1960 et 1963) ou celle, plus tardive de Carlo Aymonino et d’Aldo Rossi sur Padoue (1970), il se caractériserait principalement par un intérêt renouvelé pour la forme des villes historiques – celui pour la forme du territoire ou du paysage n’arriverait que dans un second temps, par un élargissement du cadre d’étude. On le considère ainsi souvent comme un des fronts de rupture avec la pensée fonctionnaliste des congrès internatinaux d'architecture moderne (Ciam), parallèle à celui que le Team X mène de l’intérieur.

Sprimont
First annual encounter of the Centre d’Interprétation de la Pierre de Sprimont (CIP)
Le Centre d'Interprétation de la Pierre de Sprimont organise une journée d'étude spécifiquement dédiée aux rapports historiques entre l’homme et la pierre. Cette journée se focaliserait sur les matériaux lithiques extraits et/ou employés sur le territoire de l’actuelle Belgique dans une perspective largement diachronique (de l’Antiquité à nos jours). Elle souhaite aborder des thématiques multiples et convie, pour ce faire, des personnes issues de disciplines et de domaines professionels variés. Son objectif principal est de promouvoir les échanges entre les acteurs de la recherche et dynamiser les collaborations autour de ce matériau fédérateur qui requiert, pour une étude historique fine, un croisement des regards et des compétences.

7th biennial conference of the European Network for Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies (EAM 2020)
Notions of crisis have long charged the study of the European avant-garde and modernism. Throughout their history, avant-gardists and modernists have faced crises, be they economic or political, scientific or technological, aesthetic or philosophical, collective or individual, local or global, short or perennial. Modernists and avant-gardists have in turn continually stood accused of instigating crises, whether artistic or cultural, sensorial or conceptual, incidental or intentional, far-reaching or negligible, representational or other. The very concepts of ‘avant-garde’ and ‘modernism’ are time and again subject—or subjected—to conceptual crises, leaving modernism and avant-garde studies as a field on the perpetual brink of a self-effacing theoretical crisis. The 7th biennial conference of the EAM intends to tackle the ways in which the avant-garde and modernism in Europe relate to crisi/es.

The lessons of Rome - 5th edition
Ve édition
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.

5th International Postgraduate Symposium of Transitions
From History to Philology, to Art History, to Codicology, and Linguistics, the notion of margin is omnipresent. This meaningful concept, both in its literal and figurative acceptions, has remained at the heart of critical thought for a long time, as scholars have sought to reflect on its particular potentialities whilst attempting to renew approaches to their own subjects of study. Participants, starting from their specific subjects and disciplines, are invited to reflect on the notion of margin, on the similar notions of limit and border, and on the place they hold in their own research.

Circulations and Power Reconfiguration in the Balkans
« Balkanologie » Revue d'études interdisciplinaires
After a break of several years, Balkanologie. Revue d’études interdisciplinaires is being restarted and is preparing a thematic issue. Focusing on circulations, it investigates how movements of persons, ideas, and goods that take place in South-East European societies are strongly intertwined with both local and global social processes – in terms of migrations, mobilities, tourism, networks, and diasporas. With the notion of circulation, we seek to go beyond “methodological nationalism (or regionalism)” (Dumitru 2014) in order to better grasp the globalized issues at stake in the area, which are often analyzed through the lens of exceptionalism and Balkanism (Todorova 2011).

4º Encontro sobre Conservação e Reabilitação de Edifícios
ENCORE 2020
Conservar e Reabilitar monumentos, edifícios e espaços são oportunidades únicas para fomentar a sustentabilidade das cidades. Lisboa será, em 2020, a Capital Verde Europeia, constituindo-se o ENCORE 2020 numa ocasião ímpar para relevar os desafios ambientais da transformação das cidades: poupar recursos, reutilizar materiais, melhorar a eficiência energética, repensar as centralidades urbanas, promover a resiliência. Porque a cidade resiliente deve ser a cidade das pessoas, os monumentos, edifícios e espaço urbano, têm que servir aos seus habitantes e ser atrativas para os seus visitantes. Mais do que relatar problemas, visa-se encontrar e debater caminhos e soluções para questões como: O que se deve preservar? Como atualizar sem destruir? É viável conservar e reabilitar?
