Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Christian Initiation from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages
On the occasion of this meeting dedicated to baptism and baptisteries, we intend to highlight the spatialization of baptismal rituals and their evolution between Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, by comparing different geographical areas within the boundaries of the Roman Empire and its neighbouring regions. Through the dialogue between written sources and archaeology, we would like to investigate whether baptismal practices could assert regional or confessional Christian identities.

Young researchers conferences on medieval and modern Burgundy
Ce cycle de dix conférences a pour but de valoriser et diffuser les travaux de jeunes chercheurs sur l'histoire, l'archéologie et l'histoire de l'art de la Bourgogne médiévale et moderne. Il s'agit de présenter et mettre en avant les sources d'archives à partir desquelles travaille le jeune chercheur, ainsi que la manière dont il élabore le raisonnement scientifique lui permettant d'aboutir aux résultats de ses investigations. L'objectif est aussi de montrer l'articulation, en fonction des sujets, entre les sources conservées aux Archives départementales de la Côte-d'Or et les différents dépôts municipaux, tant archives que bibliothèques. Enfin, ces interventions offriront l'opportunité au public de prendre connaissance des dynamiques actuelles de la recherche sur la Bourgogne médiévale et moderne, notamment en lui permettant d'accéder, durant les séances, aux originaux des documents utilisés par les différents intervenants.

Illness as Metaphor in the Latin Middle Ages
Leeds International Medieval Congress 2021
The session seeks to provide a forum for scholars to reflect on the variation and functions of metaphors of illness in the Latin writing of the Middle Ages. We encourage papers that investigate how the imagery of morbus, pestilentia, gangraena etc. structured individual experience and how it shaped self-knowledge and practices of communities. We invite original contributions that critically examine the role that Latin metaphors of illness played in medieval discourse as a tool of explaining reality and as a rhetorical device used to impose specific world views.

Towards a Decentered History of Dance
How is history moved, reconfigured, stimulated, by current research on dance? In connection with the Lyon Dance Biennale and the forthcoming publication of A History of Dance in the West (Ed. Seuil, Sept. 2020), this international conference in Lyon, France, aims to extend questions addressed by scholars’ contributions to the book, as well as generate entirely new dialogues via various acts of “decentering” dance historical scholarship. The polysemic notion of decentering is here understood as an invitation to reevaluate theoretical models, methods, approaches and historiographies of dance.

Sounds and voices in the Middle Ages
Questes seminar
L’oralité, la performance, l’émotion, le paysage sonore, la vocalité permettent d’aborder l’homme d’une autre façon, peut-être plus anthropologique et plus sensorielle. Depuis quelques années, les travaux se multiplient pour toutes les époques mais l’époque médiévale n’est pas en reste et les projets de reconstitution sonore émergent pour Amiens, Avignon, Constantinople, Beowulf… La voix est centrale dans les sociétés médiévales où l’oralité permet aussi bien l’expression de soi, le négoce, le plaidoyer que le spectacle. D’une façon plus globale, tous les sons, quels qu’ils soient, construisent le paysage sonore de chaque société, à chaque instant. Cependant, leur caractère individuel, sensoriel et éphémère et l’absence d’enregistrement ont largement retardé leur étude. Il convient à présent d’étudier les traces de ce monde sonore disparu, au fil des trois séances de séminaire.

Imagined Identities and Communities in the Late Middle Ages
On December 9 and 10 of this year, the “Cultures i Societats de l'Edat Mitjana” (CiSEM) research group, led by Dr. Antoni Furió, professor of medieval history at the University of Valencia, will hold a conference with the title: Imagined Identities and Imagined Communities in the Late Middle Ages. Far from being strictly contemporary creations, nations, the most elaborated product of imagined communities, had their relevance throughout the medieval centuries. The most recent historiography has tried to establish the mechanisms that contributed to building this type of imaginary in which, according to some anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists, collective identities are taking an increasingly prominent role in international geopolitics. For this reason, this process is presented as a great opportunity to discuss the most recent historiographical contributions, and to try to shed more light on a transcendental historical phenomenon on the evolution of human societies.

While recent work has renewed our knowledge of medieval execution sites and of the internal layout of detention facilities, much remains to be done to understand the distribution of prison spaces and territories, in particular to shed light on the socio-spatial dynamics and logic of their establishment. These prison spaces evolved between the beginning and the extreme end of the Middle Ages, with prisons only multiplying from the 13th century onwards. These evolutions must be understood in close coordination with the evolutions of medieval justice and its spatial practices. Studies can be carried out at the scale of a building, a neighborhood, a city, a city, one or more regions.

Craftsmen and metalworking in medieval cities: thirty five years later
The symposium Craftsmen and Metalworking in Medieval Cities: 35 Years Later addresses the metallurgies of iron, copper, tin, lead and precious metals, which produced a wide variety of objects necessary for urban life at the end of the Middle Ages. The nature, volume and possible standardization of production may be studied, as well as the needs of the city, the practices and techniques of craftsmen, their knowledge and know-how. The relationships between the crafts and between the craftsmen themselves might be examined, including dependency links, pluriactivity, networks of sociability or local relationships in urban areas. The identity and regulation of these crafts, their integration into urban society, their relationship with the surrounding rural areas and with other cities may also be revisited.

Migravit a seculo. Muerte y poder de príncipes en la Europa Medieval
El objetivo del coloquio es el análisis de la muerte como instrumento de poder por parte de las élites (los “príncipes”) medievales, desde los miembros de la realeza o la jerarquía eclesiástica hasta la aristocracia militar o el patriciado urbano. Dado el carácter multidisciplinar escogido, el acercamiento que ofrezcan los ponentes pueden ser de muy diverso tipo, y por tanto también los enfoques de acercamiento; desde perspectivas generales hasta casos particulares, que permitan la comparación en el tiempo y el espacio, pero también establecer la necesaria interrelación desde los diferentes campos de análisis. Por la misma razón, el elenco de ponentes contempla, junto a los miembros del equipo de investigación de MIGRAVIT-SEPULTUS que organiza el coloquio, la presencia de otras relevantes figuras del panorama científico europeo en sus respectivos campos, desde la historia general a la historia del arte, la musicología o la biología, para poder poner en común con ellos los resultados más relevantes de las investigaciones realizadas a lo largo de los tres último años.

The long haul and periodisation of education history - critical perspectives
Perspectives critiques
La revue Histoire de l’éducation ouvre un appel à articles en vue de la constitution d’un dossier consacré à une réflexion sur les temporalités en histoire de l’éducation, et notamment l’intérêt que peut avoir la prise en compte de perspectives de longue durée en la matière. Sans se focaliser sur l'histoire récente du système éducatif, les contributions pourront porter sur toutes les périodes et tous les aspects de l'histoire de l'éducation.

Materialities and devotion (5th-15th centuries)
V Medieval Europe in motion
The last decades have witnessed the development of studies on material culture, favouring an inter- and multidisciplinary approach. This has enabled a more cohesive reading of the way in which the medieval Man related to his material environment, manipulating, adapting and transforming it, of the uses given to the objects he produced, the meanings attributed, how he interacted with them in cognitive and affective terms.

Feeding others, feeding oneself: food and power from Antiquity to Middle Ages
L’histoire de l’alimentation a été beaucoup explorée durant les vingt dernières années, selon des approches variées allant d’une très classique analyse économique au vaste champ de l’anthropologie historique. Les enjeux de pouvoir représentés par la maîtrise du ravitaillement ainsi que par la redistribution de la nourriture, voire ses usages symboliques, ne sont naturellement pas non plus un domaine vierge. Cependant, ces thématiques mériteraient peut-être de se voir accorder une place plus centrale que cela n’a été le cas jusqu’à présent, et c’est là l’ambition du colloque « Nourrir, se nourrir : enjeux de pouvoir de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge », organisé à Amiens les 18 et 19 novembre 2019 : reprendre ces questions à nouveaux frais dans une perspective diachronique allant de la période archaïque à la fin du Moyen Âge.

Music and Late Medieval European Court Cultures
Late medieval European court cultures have traditionally been studied from a mono-disciplinary and national(ist) perspective. This has obscured much of the interplay of cultural performances that informed “courtly life”. Recent work by medievalists has routinely challenged this, but disciplinary boundaries remain strong. The MALMECC project therefore has been exploring late medieval court cultures and the role of sounds and music in courtly life across Europe in a transdisciplinary, team-based approach that brings together art history, general history, literary history, and music history. Team members explore the potential of transdisciplinary work by focusing on discrete subprojects within the chronological boundaries 1280-1450 linked to each other through shared research axes, e.g., the social condition of ecclesiastic(s at) courts, the transgenerational and transdynastic networks generated by genetic lineage and marriage, the performativity of courtly artefacts and physical as well as social spaces, and the social, linguistic and geographic mobility of court(ier)s.

Pomp and finery. Festooning the city, the body, the animal and words
La conception ornementale, qu’elle s’exprime dans la pierre, les métaux, les tissus ou même le corps, est un précieux matériau historique qui reflète la vitalité d’une communauté. Orner, au-delà de l’aspect esthétique purement formel, c’est aussi véhiculer un message et diffuser une culture. Il s’agit d’une forme d’investissement des valeurs communes d’une société. La parure surpasse la simple manifestation ostentatoire en exaltant identités et idéaux afin d’affirmer l’appartenance d’un individu à une culture ou à une classe sociale précise. De ce fait, le discours sur la parure et l’apparat est au coeur des préoccupations de l’historien.

The paths of humanism: professional mobility and cultural expansion during the Renaissance
Diasporas. Circulations, migrations, histoire
The history of humanism during the Renaissance is one of an international cultural circulation which saw the rise of “humanities studies”, born in north-central Italy at the turn of the fifteenth century, and which came to dominate other models for a large part of the Western élite during the next two centuries. If the exchange of letters and books was surely an important vector in the development of this movement, it is also important to consider this phenomenon in light of mobility, particularly the professional mobility of the learned adherents of these scholarly practices, by creating a dialogue between intellectual and social history.

The identity and regulation of these crafts, their integration into urban society, their relationship with the surrounding rural areas and with other cities may also be revisited. The symposium will be interdisciplinary in nature, promoting dialogue between historians, archaeologists and archaeometry, without excluding anthropological approaches to learning and knowledge
