Les chrétiens européens face à leurs passés embarrassants (du Moyen Âge à nos jours)
Les mémoires collectives semblent se focaliser avant tout sur des événements perçus de manière positive par les groupes porteurs de mémoire, en particulier dans le cadre des communautés chrétiennes. Témoignant de l’accomplissement d’un plan providentiel ou de la fidélité de croyants envers Dieu en dépit des difficultés, les faits mémorisés sont généralement honorables. Pour autant, certains actes commis par des chrétiens peuvent embarrasser leurs coreligionnaires des années ou des siècles plus tard. Cette journée d’étude, centrée sur le christianisme en Europe (et ses prolongements coloniaux), vise à explorer ces mémoires honteuses dans la longue durée, du Moyen Âge à nos jours.

Logics, stakes and limits of cultural heritage transmission in Eurasia
The thematic issue is about cultural heritage and patrimonialization. It aims at comparing the varying notions of “tradition” and “safeguarding of culture” within an empirical approach.We focus on conflicts about the creation of culture and how these globalised and specific contexts shape a changing self-perception of “ethnic identity” in Northern Asia, Central Asia and Eastern Europe.The articles may be on local as well as global expressions of cultural heritage: poetical genre, engraving or wood carving, architecture, ethno-parks or ecomuseums, cultural tourism, opposition to projects of valorization, etc. Analysis may also focus on the role of actors involved in local projects, on historical contexts or on international fashions.

Versailles
The Myth of Versailles and European Courts, 18th and 19th centuries
This symposium is organised in conjunction with the research programme “Court identities and the myth of Versailles in Europe: perception, adherence and rejection (18th-19th centuries)” led by the Centre de recherche du château de Versailles. The aim is to analyse the modus operandi of the myth of Versailles in the monarchic Europe of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, taking into account the two contradictory yet complementary elements that characterise the idea of myth: the real and the reconstruction of the real. The focus of this conference will therefore be twofold: understanding how the different aspects specific to the identity of Versailles have fuelled an illusion, but also discerning how this illusion gave rise to other accomplishments, whether architectural, ritual or political.

Following in the footsteps of Fernand Braudel, an increasing number of recent studies show that the Mediterranean basin might be considered as a “borderland”, “borderscape” or “Frontier” suggesting that this area is not strictly a border between Christian and Muslim civilization, but a basin in which the two traditions and cultures meet and overlap, with an extraordinary variety of reactions to the hegemonic practices (acceptance, conflict, refusal, dissent). The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars who will discuss, from different perspectives and with a multidisciplinary approach, the variety of themes (topics) which revolve around the common issue of reflecting the problem of borderlands as a consequence of the encounter between Christendom and Ottoman Empire in the Early modern Mediterranean. The starting point of examination will be images, i.e. the usage of images (pictures, mental images, literary images and other visual representations …) as historical evidence.

Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)
The COST Action “Islamic Legacy: Narratives East, West, South, North of the Mediterranean (1350-1750)” [CA 18129] is launching a call for a conference “Soldiers, prisoners and converts between permeable borders in the Mare Nostrum (16th-18th centuries)”. The event that we are disseminating is being organised within this project, which as the purpose to provide a transnational and interdisciplinary approach capable of overcoming the segmentation that currently characterizes the study of relations between Christianity and Islam in late medieval and early modern Europe and the Mediterranean. We aim to create a network that will help to provide a comprehensive understanding of past relations between Christianity and Islam in the European context through the addressing of three main research problems: otherness, migration and borders.

Gendered Species: Colette, Gender and Sexual Identities
Espèces genrées : Colette, le genre et les identités sexuées
Although French woman writer Colette was indifferent to and even critical of the feminist movement of the early 1900s, in the way she lived her life as in her fiction, she exemplified financial and social independence and shame-free sexuality, or what would be call today “gender fluidity”. This international conference will show how Colette represents a vibrant and radical expression of feminism in tune with the #MeToo spirit in today's society

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.

Leonardo da Vinci and the words of painting in Europe: sources and reception
La recherche actuelle sur les sources de Léonard de Vinci, la fortune de ses écrits et l’analyse de son style littéraire porte sur son lexique technique (mécanique, optique et anatomique). Dans ce sillon, la réflexion sur le lexique de la peinture ouvre des pistes innovantes sur les outils de travail de Léonard dans son atelier où se rencontrent écriture, technique et création figurative. Le glossaire pictural constitue le fil rouge reliant les sources écrites de Léonard (la « bibliothèque » perdue de l’écrivain), d’une part à sa pensée ainsi qu’à sa mise en œuvre et d’autre part, à la réception et à la fortune des écrits de l’artiste dans les traités d’art successifs.

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.

Cultural mobility around Shakespeare's Rome
Mapping race and nation through performance
This seminar asks participants to consider the implications of race or nation on stage, on screen, and in installations, happenings, or other performance venues in Shakespeare’s Roman plays and how perceptions of race shift in different venues, at different historical moments, and even from person to person.

Líneas issue 12
Le numéro 12 de Líneas, « Philosophie en Ibéro-Amérique », s’attachera à la spécificité d’une philosophie développée en Ibéro-Amérique. Existe-t-il une philosophie ibéro-américaine ? Quels en seraient les principaux porte-paroles ? Serait-elle exclusivement centrée sur une histoire culturelle et des idées propre à l’Amérique latine ? Quel accueil a-t-elle reçu et reçoit-elle encore en Amérique et en dehors du territoire américain ?

Court identities and the myth of Versailles in Europe
Perception, adherence and rejection (18th-19th centuries)
The “modern” courts in Europe included the institutional, social, societal and cultural aspects concomitant with the political affirmation of personalities emerging, by agreement or through conflict, from communities exercising power together in order to seize authority for their own personal benefit and to develop a range of encomiastic processes for their own person. In the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, the princely courts in Europe did not confine themselves to one single paradigm. There were as many courts as there were princely houses, as many “national” types, even if some, like the Burgundian court in the 15th century and the courts in northern and central Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries, proposed models and exercised influence from one end of Europe to the other, while accommodating indigenous influences.

The spread and heritage of the Enlightenment between thought and political action
Figures of public space and the representation of the other
Dans quelle mesure les Lumières doivent-elles être diffusées vers les couches sociales les moins riches et les moins instruites ? Dans quelle mesure le fait de les diffuser change-t-il leur définition même ? Ainsi s'engage, au tournant du XIXe siècle, le débat qui contribue à faire des Lumières, dans les deux siècles qui suivent, un héritage multiple et complexe, qu'il est possible d'analyser au prisme des tensions entre pensée et action, idées et réalités, théorie et pratique ou encore forme de gouvernement (Regierungsform) et manière de gouverner (Regierungsart).

La persistance lumineuse des ténèbres
This seminar is centred around the notion of home and its multiple denotations and dimensions, and proposes a reflection on the boundaries of the concept and how it is represented in modern and contemporary European literature, more specifically (auto-) biographical fiction that problematizes the relation between subject and its spaces of origin.

Fresh perspectives on heritage appropriation in Europe during the French Revolution
Régulièrement réapparaît çà et là une remise en question des notions de sécularisation et de décontextualisation des œuvres d’art qui ont présidé à la création, dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, des musées modernes. Cette remise en cause conduit à considérer, dans la foulée de Quatremère de Quincy, que l’œuvre d’art ne peut être appréciée que dans son contexte d’origine. D’où le risque de vouloir réécrire notre passé en reconsidérant les transferts patrimoniaux qui ont, de tous temps, jalonné l’histoire. Dans la foulée de l’inventaire scientifique que dresse l’IRPA des peintures et des sculptures spoliées par les révolutionnaires français dans les Pays-Bas autrichiens et la principauté épiscopale de Liège, un colloque de deux jours sera organisé par la même institution pour réévaluer de la manière la plus large les circonstances historiques, politiques et artistiques de ces prélèvements révolutionnaires à travers l’Europe, ainsi que leurs antécédents et répercussions immédiats.

Interactions between the Twelver Shia and Christians - history, theology and literature
Les interactions et échanges entre des représentants chiʿites duodécimains et chrétiens, catholiques ainsi que protestants, ont rarement donné lieu à une étude détaillée. Pourtant, les contacts réciproques ont été nombreux comme l’indiquent les récits de voyageurs, les rapports de missionnaires, les textes théologiques et polémiques, les lettres diplomatiques, etc. Ces sources présentes dans les archives et bibliothèques européennes, mais aussi en Iran et Irak, restent pour une très grande part à étudier. Ce colloque s’assigne pour objectif d’identifier la nature de ces relations interculturelles selon les époques, les milieux, les géographies.

This interdisciplinary conference discusses the cultural role of fans in art, fashion, and material culture in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Taking the visual and material diversity of fans as a point of departure, it aims at gaining new insights into the various interrelations between fans, paintings, and printed artworks in this period.

By all measures, Germany played an overwhelming role in the development of philology and linguistics during the 19th century. This ascendancy rests on the transmission to other national academies of theoretical constructs and views, methods and institutional practices. On the other hand, German philological and linguistic ideas, methods and institutions were not constituted in isolation from the rest of the world : Transfers to the German-speaking world must also be taken into account.
