Summer School - Representation
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.

Transationalism at Court
Le projet de recherche MALMECC vise à questionner les principaux modèles historiographiques relatifs à la période médiévale, en se concentrant plus particulièrement sur le rôle de la musique dans la politique, la religion et les arts en milieu curial. Un de ces modèles est celui de la création de l’Etat-nation, ce qui conduit à considérer comme périphériques de larges aires géographiques qui jouèrent pourtant à l’époque un rôle culturel et identitaire de premier plan mais qui ont depuis disparu au sein de nations modernes, à l’image de l’ancienne principauté de Liège, aujourd’hui « divisée » entre Belgique et Pays-Bas, ou les régions gouvernées par la dynastie de Luxembourg au cours des années 1250-1450, qui incluaient des parties des actuelles France, Pologne, République tchèque, Allemagne, Belgique et Luxembourg.

The symposium aims to bring together researchers working on aspects of mendicant orders traditionally considered as “marginal”, be it in geographical, topographical, gendered or historical terms, in order to go beyond the artificial construct of centrality and marginality, and get a fuller understanding of the impact of the mendicants on all levels of medieval society across Europe.

Figures of Ancient Greece in France and Italy in the 14th and 15th centuries
Le présent colloque se propose d’étudier la présence et l’exploitation des figures de la Grèce ancienne en France et en Italie aux XIVe et XVe siècles, et les nouvelles formes d’ « actualité » qu’elles prennent dans les textes, avec l’évolution du regard et de l’interprétation des auteurs, avec aussi les décalages qui existent entre l’Italie et la France. Le corpus d’analyse pourra s’étendre des écritures de l’histoire au sens très large aux traductions / adaptations de textes latins et grecs, aux ouvrages didactiques, à la poésie et au théâtre.

Women in lyrical crusade songs in vulgate: voices, motifs, representations and issues
Les chansons lyriques de croisade constituent un corpus littéraire encore relativement peu étudié ; a fortiori, l’articulation des femmes à ce massif textuel n’a guère été scrutée. Aucune des études dédiées au genre des chansons de croisade (Bédier/Aubry, Bec, Dijkstra, Paterson, Barbieri…) n’a en effet porté aux femmes une attention particulière, et parmi les travaux sur la place des femmes et de leurs voix au Moyen Âge et dans la littérature (e.a. W. Paden, A. Classen, A. L. Klinck et A. M. Rasmussen, S. Gaunt, M. Tyssens, A. Rieger), aucune ne s’est spécifiquement intéressée aux chansons de croisade.

Grenoble
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 (XIVe-XVIe 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 ?

Multidisciplinary Approaches to Food and Foodways in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean
Within the rapidly expanding area of research on food and foodways, the medieval eastern Mediterranean is still very much an unexplored area. The aim of the POMEDOR project (People, Pottery and Food in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean) was to explore this new field in a multidisciplinary way and to stimulate further research.

Dioceses in interim - the age of episcopal vacation (France-Germany, 10th-13th centuries)
Le temps de la vacance épiscopale (France et Allemagne, Xe‒XIIIe siècle)
La mort de l’évêque laisse sa fonction vacante, pour quelques jours ou quelques semaines, parfois même pour des années. D’autres causes ‒ expulsion, suspension ou démission ‒ ont le même effet. La recherche accorde trop peu d’attention à cette période, appelée « intérim » dans le droit canonique, tout comme aux étapes qui mènent à l’installation du nouvel évêque, de son élection à son investiture. L’objectif du colloque est de combler cette lacune en étudiant ce temps particulier dans une perspective d’ensemble. Son intérêt n’est pas concentré sur la personne de l’évêque ayant cessé ses fonctions ou sur son successeur, mais plutôt sur le diocèse et les groupes qui pèsent sur sa destinée.

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.

Historical narrative between the East and West
12th-15th centuries
Espace privilégié d’échanges et de circulation, la Méditerranée médiévale est le théâtre de rencontres entre chrétiens d’Orient et d’Occident. Celles-ci constituent un vecteur prioritaire de transmission des savoirs et des connaissances et contribuent à façonner de nouvelles représentations tant sur le plan ecclésiologique que sur le plan territorial ou historique. Les conditions de production de textes historiques, leur circulation, leurs usages et l’autorité qui leur est conférée, permettent alors d’examiner comment Latins et Orientaux tiennent compte de l’altérité interne ou externe à la chrétienté : comment intégrer l’Autre à l’histoire de la chrétienté dans son ensemble ? Comment, entre Occident et Orient, l’histoire s’écrit-elle ? Que révèle-t-elle de la circulation des textes, des idées et des représentations entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée ? Comment, par qui et à quelles fins l’histoire ainsi construite est-elle utilisée ? La quête des origines, le plus souvent destinée à fonder une autorité, peut ainsi être mise au service tantôt d’une réflexion critique sur la situation présente, tantôt d’une stratégie de légitimation d’une entreprise présente ou à venir.

Images and Liturgy in Portugal in the Middle Age
The seminar Images and Liturgy in Portugal in the Middle Age, organized by the CEAACP Multidisciplinary Group Study in Arts (University of Coimbra), in partnership with the Association of Portuguese Archaeologists / Carmo Archaeological Museum, is part of the set of project initiatives of Carla Varela Fernandes’ Postdoc (Sculptures of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in collections of Portuguese museums. An imperative approach to a broader knowledge of the scientific reality). It aims the presentation and discussion of recent studies and reflections on works of Romanic and Gothic art existing in Portugal. It is intended to address the medieval images as part of the liturgical rituals and the buildings they were designed for. On the other hand, we’ll try to provide advances in the knowledge on the means as an iconographic innovation or aesthetic generated at a given location "moves" and appears in other geographies, serving similar purposes.

“People” and Power(s) in Representation
Nordic and Germanic Space
The Kiel Treaty, signed on 14 January 1814, marks a milestone in European and Scandinavian history as it ended armed conflicts between the realms of Sweden and Denmark. In order to celebrate its 200th anniversary, this conference will focus on national propaganda and representations of power through the representation of the people. The period under study spans from the 14th century to 1814. It includes the Scandinavian realms’ stabilization as well as the emergence of a national sentiment centered on the homeland, the ruler or the reigning power and ends with the emergence of nationalism in Europe.

Courts and Courtly Cultures in Early Modern Italy and Europe
Models and Languages
The conference will focus on the topic of court culture in Lombardy and North Italy, within the conceptual framework of the SNF Sinergia project: Constructing identity: visual, spatial, and literary cultures in Lombardy, 14th to 16th centuries. This interdisciplinary project, which includes five research unities in the Universities of Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, and EPFL at Lausanne, works on Visconti and Sforza ages, when Lombardy, one of the most important European regions, established itself as a distinct political and cultural entity. It has been an exemplary case of the construction of a cultural identity, whose repercussions still resonate in present-day Italy. As a part of a potent political project, it has been sustained by complex mechanisms of self-representation and the imposition of a prestige taste. The conference will conclude the research of the Sinergia project discussing its results in a wider historical, literary, architectural and artistic context and verifying its methodological approaches at the light of multiple points of view.
