Granada

Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest among scholars in analysing how the Islamic heritage in Europe has been perceived, described, preserved, erased, negotiated or transformed in different areas of Europe, from medieval to modern times. However, those debates seldom crossed the borders of regional approaches. The aim of this training school is to discuss those issues from different and complementary perspectives, including art history, but also philosophy, history of science or anthropology, and to question the traditional regional narrative through a comparative examination of Islamic monuments in a wider Mediterranean perspective.

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.

The Italians in Europe - literary and cultural perceptions, representations and exchanges 14th-16th century

Le colloque international qui se tiendra à l'université Grenoble Alpes les 9 et 10 novembre 2017 se propose de réfléchir, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, aux perceptions que les Italiens ont eues des autres peuples d’Europe et réciproquement à la façon dont ces derniers percevaient les Italiens (XIV^e-XVI^e siècle). Par quels canaux culturels passent ces perceptions ? De quoi sont-elles faites ? Comment les différentes formes d’échanges, parmi lesquelles les migrations des artistes, des écrivains et des voyageurs, ont-elles constitué les représentations des uns et des autres ?

Approach to ancient music - 4th musicology conference

IVth musicology conference of the "Journées des musiques anciennes"

Le colloque des journées de musiques anciennes de Vanves propose un cadre général réunissant musicologues, luthiers, acousticiens, musiciens, historiens de l'art, historiens... afin de discuter les multiples enjeux rassemblant ces différents angles de vue en relation avec les répertoires musicaux anciens en Occident (ca. 800 – 1750). Il s'agit plus d'une définition d'approche que d'une limite géographique ou historique. L'année 2016 a pour thème « Geste, acoustique, musique ».

Heraldry in Medieval and Early Modern State-Rooms

Towards a Typology of Heraldic Programmes in Spaces of Self-Representation

Heraldry was an ubiquitous element of state-rooms. Whether in palaces of kings and princes, castles of noblemen, residences of patricians, city halls or in cathedral chapters, heraldic display was a crucial element in the visual programme of these spaces. Despite its omnipresence, however, heraldic display in state-rooms remains largely understudied so far. This workshop aims to explore these heraldic programmes in state-rooms in medieval and early modern Europe and to suggest an initial typology of this phenomenon.

Typical Venice?

Venetian Commodities, 13th-16th centuries

What are "Venetian" commodities? More than any other medieval or early modern city, Venice lived off of the trade of portable goods. In addition to trading foreign imports, the city also engaged in intense local production, manufacturing high quality glass, crystal, cloth, metal, enamel, leather, and ceramic objects, characterized by their exceedingly rich forms and complex production processes. Today, these objects are scattered in collections throughout the world, but little remains in Venice itself. In individual instances, it is often difficult to tell whether the objects in question were actually made in Venice or if they originated in Byzantine, Islamic, or other European contexts.

Heraldry in the Medieval City – The Case of Italy in the European Context

A visitor passing through Italy is surprised by the abundance of coats of arms that still decorate the palaces and public monuments of its cities. Relatively undisturbed by the tides of history that destroyed a lot of Europe's heraldic heritage, in the Italian cities this heritage is still alive and well. While the development of heraldic signs occasionally caught the eye of historians and art historians, they have never done justice to the multitude and diversity of the existing sources. Recently, however, research has taken an interest in the subject with renewed vigour and approaches, especially in the case of Italy. The aim of this conference is to establish the current state of research and to advance the subject by linking more closely the history of heraldic communication and the history of cities. To do so, the Italian example shall be put into a European perspective.

Minorities and religious cohabitation from the Middle Ages to the present day

La diversité religieuse en Europe s'enracine dans les pratiques des sociétés médiévales. Les dirigeants du Moyen Âge, chrétiens et musulmans, accordèrent des statuts protégés et inférieurs à certaines minorités religieuses. L'étude des sources juridiques montre que les sociétés médiévales, comme la nôtre, ont subi des changements constants en matière religieuse et que la cohabitation, certes pas toujours pacifique, a été la règle plutôt que l'exception dans l'histoire européenne. Le programme de recherche RELMIN, qui travaille depuis 2010 sur l’étude sur le statut légal des minorités religieuses dans les sociétés médiévales, dresse le bilan d’une recherche scientifique approfondi et livre, à l’occasion de ce colloque international, ses observations pour une meilleure compréhension de l’héritage multi-religieux européen.

Identity and identities: issues of belonging in the Low Countries, 12th-18th century

Identiteit in het meervoud

Le colloque « l’identité au pluriel. Jeux et enjeux des appartenances autour des anciens Pays-Bas, XIIe-XVIIIe siècles » se tiendra à l'Université de Valenciennes du 19 au 21 avril 2012. Il se propose de relancer la réflexion sur la question des appartenances et identités sur le long terme (Moyen Âge et Temps modernes), avant les grandes recompositions produites par les révolutions de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, et dans un territoire correspondant à la France septentrionale, la Belgique, les Pays-Bas et le Luxembourg actuels. Comment les identités se forment-elles et se transforment-elles ? Comment survivent-elles ou disparaissent-elles, par voie de radicalisation ou d'adaptation ?
