    Water in north western European cities in the early Middle Ages (4th-12th centuries)

    A vector of transformation of the urban space

    Starting from the premise that a variety of towns existed during the early Middle Ages (towns of Roman origin, or growing up around a monastery, a defensive site or an economic hub), we propose to assess, in North-West Europe, the role of water in these towns at three progressive levels: i) that of different users within a town, ii) at the level of the town as a whole, and iii) in the creation of urban networks. Our purpose is to draw together the most recent research, highlighting this subject through archaeological discoveries as well as critical analysis of written sources.

    Study days - Middle Ages

    The Face of the Dead and the Early Christian World

    The theme chosen for this meeting is the study of funerary images in the transition between late antiquity and the Middle Ages. The central question will a reflection on the function of the funerary images in a broad sense, but also their impact on the early christian world. The choice of the chronological time also shows the second intention of the colloquium: this is an attempt to explain why the ancient funerary tradition of the image will eventually disappear, replaced by other figures of the representative functions. Through various media - from the mosaic and painting, through sculpture and ending with gilded glasses - there will be presented one of the nodal representation of the self: the human face on the border between life and death.

    Urban elites and territorial constructions: plural belongings? (France, Holy Empire, 15th-18th centuries)

    Cette journée d’études, organisée le 23 novembre 2012 au sein du Centre d’Histoire Sociale et Culturelle de l’Occident, XIIe – XVIIIe siècles de l'Université de Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense, a pour projet d’analyser les manières dont les élites urbaines du royaume de France et du Saint Empire parviennent à articuler des appartenances plurielles : sociales ou professionnelles par la détention de positions sources de notabilité ou d’honorabilité dans la ville, civiques par l’exercice de fonctions municipales dans les conseils ou les corps de villes, ou administratives par l’exercice de fonctions dans les institutions étatiques (laïques ou ecclésiastiques). L’interrogation portera à la fois sur les normes, les logiques et les modalités de ces articulations, ainsi que sur les évolutions des formes prises par celles-ci du Moyen âge tardif à l’époque moderne.
