Imaginary places, real territories
Territorial imagery and the creation of a Dutch identity (1579-1702)
This two-day symposium aims to shed light on the ways in which Dutch depictions of national and transnational territories participated in the formulation of a shared identity. Multidisciplinary discussions will allow us to examine the terms of territorial imagery in Dutch visual culture, and their links with the formation of a national myth in the Early Modern Dutch Republic.

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.

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.

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.

Cartography of the masculine, from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment
Ce colloque international a pour projet de montrer à quel point l’identité masculine est soumise à des projections culturelles variables, plus particulièrement dans les siècles de la première modernité, au moment où les sexes et leurs attributions se sont redéfinis pour prendre une forme moderne dont nous héritons encore aujourd’hui. Une telle exploration du passé doit aider à penser le contemporain. L'objet de ce colloque est donc « l'homme en tous genres » à travers les littératures de la Renaissance jusqu'aux Lumières. L'objectif est d'arpenter la sphère du masculin afin d'en proposer une cartographie : quelles en sont les frontières et les différentes contrées ? Qui fixe les bornes, qui les franchit, comment se meuvent-elles et en fonction de quels critères, quels sont les no man's land du masculin ?

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 ? -
