  Studying medieval buildings (1850-1950)

  Actors, stakes and methods

  The history of medieval architecture was written, from the mid-19^th century, by men whose training, career and objectives were variable. In fact, they each developed their methods of analysis and their reading grids of medieval buildings, which are at the origin of our practices in art history and archeology. To be interested in these men and their works: this is the purpose of this study day that will allow to implement, at the scale of Western Europe, this epistemological approach of the medieval sciences dedicated to the castral, civil or religious building. Beyond the monuments themselves, which take the place of a major source, correspondences of scientists, archives of learned societies, photographs, old drawings, or the funds of historical monuments, for example, may be used to deal with one or more of the topics presented below.

  The Gothic structures: in pursuit of balance

  Leur stabilité et leurs confortations à l’époque médiévale

  Raised from 1242 to replace the Romanesque choir, the choir of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Tournai (Belgium) is resolutely an exemple of Gothic architecture the most advanced in the French royal domain. Besides a number of reasons, the verticality and slenderness of the construction, the fasciculated pillars, the buttressing thrown outward shows this well. Without participating in the rivalry of the first half of the 13th century to build the tallest cathedral, it plays nevertheless on the extremely lightweight of the construction, which was trying to reach on other contemporary sites. Beauvais is the most famous case, but it is not unique. In Tournai, as elsewhere, important stabilizing work was needed on these monuments that had « exceeded the limit ».

  University and the history of art, subjects of memory (1870-1970)

  Ces journées d’études s’inscrivent dans le cadre d’un programme de recherches sélectionné en 2010 par la Région Aquitaine pour inventorier, étudier et valoriser le patrimoine artistique de l'Université de Bordeaux. Au terme des différentes recherches menées par les collaborateurs du programme, nous proposons de revenir sur le sujet en adoptant une vision synchronique par rapport à un territoire plus ample, englobant la France et l’Europe, et en conciliant le champ de l’histoire de l’art avec une perspective disciplinaire plus large. Ces journées d’études entendent encourager des approches typologiques croisées tout en les mettant en relation avec l’enseignement dispensé et la recherche scientifique, sur une période allant de la seconde moitié du XIX^e siècle jusqu’aux années 1960.
