Imagined Identities and Communities in the Late Middle Ages
On December 9 and 10 of this year, the “Cultures i Societats de l'Edat Mitjana” (CiSEM) research group, led by Dr. Antoni Furió, professor of medieval history at the University of Valencia, will hold a conference with the title: Imagined Identities and Imagined Communities in the Late Middle Ages. Far from being strictly contemporary creations, nations, the most elaborated product of imagined communities, had their relevance throughout the medieval centuries. The most recent historiography has tried to establish the mechanisms that contributed to building this type of imaginary in which, according to some anthropologists, sociologists and political scientists, collective identities are taking an increasingly prominent role in international geopolitics. For this reason, this process is presented as a great opportunity to discuss the most recent historiographical contributions, and to try to shed more light on a transcendental historical phenomenon on the evolution of human societies.

Lands of heroism, tyranny and false christianity
Lithuania and the “margins” of Europe
The aim of these two sessions is to explore the place of Lithuania within the geopolitical and social sphere of Europe during the later Middle Ages. The first looks to explore the encounters between Lithuania and the other political and religious groups that held stakes within the Baltic arena. The second session will examine the various perceptions Christian Europeans had of Lithuania and place it within a larger reflection on the image of the so-called “margins” of Europe in the Western European discourse.

Conference, symposium - History
Letters - Acts - Treaties
The 15th International Congress of Diplomatics organized by the Commission internationale de diplomatique, which is being held between the 4th and 6th of October at Leipzig, studies the diplomatic characteristics of medieval and early modern charters and the related documentation being used in “international” and interreligious diplomacy. The main objective of the conference is to analyse the "international" and interreligious repertoire of types and forms of the documents as well as their regional specific characteristics. Special attention will be dedicated to the different stages of tradition and the consequences for historical interpretation focussing on the internal and external characteristics of the diplomatic documentation.

Peacemaking and the Restraint of Violence in Medieval Europe (1100-1300)
Practices, Actors and Behaviour
In high medieval Europe, conflict took a number of different forms, from large-scale battles, such as disputes over crowns, power and lands, to more local disputes over inheritance and property. In the absence of well-developed administrative structures which could limit conflict, cultural conventions, rituals and behavioural norms evolved to moderate violence within the elite community.

Maritime Ivories in Western Europe, 900-1500
In the history of carved ivories, maritime mammals have often been eclipsed by the elephant, considered as a nobler ivory to which walrus or whale ivory would only be a poor man's substitute. But this historiographical view is not without its shortcomings, as not only did walrus hunting play a significant role in the first European explorations toward the west, but the trade for those ivories went as far as the Islamic world and even the Far East. This session at the 52nd International Congress on Medieval Studies, sponsored by the National Museum of Scotland, aims to address the variety of questions posed by the maritime ivories: how the raw material was collected, how it was traded, the workshops that carved them and their specific symbolic value in medieval treasuries

The Colloquium is devoted to the history of fish, aquatic monsters and mammals in the northern seas (the English Channel, North Sea, Baltic Sea, Norwegian Sea, the North Atlantic), from antiquity to 1600. The colloquium is based on three themes: knowledge and the transmission of knowledge (medical knowledge, zoological knowledge, descriptions, identifications); savoir-faire and exploitation (aquatic farming, fishing, cooking, medicine); explorations – real and imaginary.

Modern and contemporary representations of Northern Europe in medieval times
Année 1 : historiographies
Le séminaire (organisé par l'école doctorale sciences humaines et sociales Lille Nord de France) explorera la place de l’Europe du Nord médiévale dans les identités européennes. Programmé pour un cycle de trois années (2015-2017), ce séminaire interrogera la manière dont les Europes du Nord de la longue époque médiévale (de la fin de l’Empire romain à la Renaissance) apparaissent dans les représentations, savantes autant que populaires, des époques moderne (dès la Renaissance) et contemporaine (jusqu’aux productions culturelles les plus récentes). La première année, intitulée « Historiographies », se penchera sur l’étude savante de la période, en particulier sur l’étude du haut Moyen Âge comme « Âge héroïque ».

Peoples and powers in representation in the Germanic and Nordic spaces
Le traité de Kiel, signé le 14 janvier 1814, correspond à un tournant de l’histoire européenne et scandinave dans la mesure où il mit un terme au dernier conflit entre la Suède et le Danemark. À l'occasion de son bicentenaire, ce colloque propose de revenir sur les propagandes nationales et les représentations du pouvoir mises en oeuvre à travers la construction et l'utilisation de « représentations » et images du « peuple ». Il englobe la période qui va du XIIIe siècle à 1814, qui vit la stabilisation des royaumes scandinaves, la formation du sentiment d'attachement à la patrie, au souverain ou au pouvoir en place et qui s'acheva avec l'émergence des nationalismes.

“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.

The Seventh Century: Continuity or Discontinuity?
The 2013 Edinburgh University Seventh Century Colloquium
We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the 2013 Edinburgh University Seventh Century Colloquium, 28-29 May 2013. The colloquium is a two-day interdisciplinary conference for postgraduate students and early career researchers. The colloquium brings together scholars from different disciplines studying the seventh century in order to promote discussion and the cross-fertilisation of ideas. We will explore how wider perspectives can be used to formulate new approaches to source material, drawing out fresh perspectives on both the familiar and unfamiliar. Our general theme will be an examination of whether the seventh century can be studied as a unit across regions or whether the period represents a break in the longue durée. What was the level of discontinuity between the "long sixth" and "long eighth" centuries? -

The Reformed Monastic Orders in North Europe 1100 to 1600
En 1113, David, le plus jeune fils de sainte Marguerite d’Écosse, établit à Selkirk dans le Sud de l’Ecosse une colonie provenant de l’abbaye de Thiron-Gardais fondée par saint Bernard de Ponthieu. Ce fut le premier établissement d’un ordre de type bénédictin réformé fondé dans les îles Britanniques. L’arrivée de ces moines continentaux marqua le début d’une ère de profonds changements religieux, politiques, culturels, sociaux et économiques dans les pays situés à la bordure septentrionale du monde christianisé, depuis l’Écosse et l’Irlande à l’ouest à travers l’Angleterre, la Scandinavie et l’Allemagne du Nord jusqu’en Pologne et l'Estonie à l’Est. Afin de célébrer le 900e anniversaire de cet événement, l’université de Stirling accueillera une conférence pluri-disciplinaire (du 10 au 12 juillet 2013) afin d’explorer l’impact monastique sur la culture et la société de l’Europe septentrionale du XIIe au XVIe siècle ainsi que son héritage moderne. -

Ding, ding, ting: Objects as cultural mediators. German, Dutch and Nordic language areas
Le colloque propose de croiser les fils de deux traditions théoriques, la théorie des transferts culturels, élaborée par Michel Espagne et Michael Werner dans les années 1980, qui a donné lieu ensuite à divers prolongements (histoire croisée, recherche sur les phénomènes de circulation, de réseau, d’interculturalité, d’hybridation…), et celle des Material Culture Studies.Il s’intéressera aux objets matériels, d’un point de vue historique, culturel, ethnologique, anthropologique, littéraire, linguistique, philosophique ou esthétique, dans leurs manifestations concrètes et leurs représentations discursives, visuelles, plastiques, ou textuelles, dans la mesure où ces objets circulent entre plusieurs cultures, entre deux pays (ou plus) des espaces néerlandophones, nordiques ou germanophones, du Moyen Âge à nos jours. -

Cette journée journée a pour objectif de s'interroger sur la construction culturelle d'un espace, le Nord. Cette rencontre d'historiens, de littéraires et de géographes doit permettre de voir comment depuis le XVe siècle s’est élaborée la connaissance du Nord et comment ses représentations se sont progressivement cristallisées. -

De la mer du Nord à la mer Baltique
Contacts, communications, commerce au Moyen Âge
Cette rencontre prendra la forme d'un atelier de jeunes chercheurs (doctorants et docteurs récents), archéologues et historiens des textes, originaires de plusieurs pays de l’Europe du Nord. Des participants plus confirmés apporteront à cet atelier leur expertise scientifique et permettront d’alterner et de confronter les interventions de jeunes chercheurs et de chercheurs plus expérimentés. Les régions des mers du Nord et Baltique au Moyen Âge ont plusieurs points en commun : zones de contacts, elles ont permis des échanges entre des cultures et des peuples très différents. Au cours de l'atelier, une attention particulière sera portée aux types de contacts et aux modes de communications interculturelle.
