  Medieval Conceptions and Practices of Space

  Revue « Études Médiévales Anglaises »

  Though space is by no means a medieval concept (in 14th century use, the word referred primarily to time, or to an interval between two objects, rather than to the abstract idea of an extended area that can be filled or crossed), the concept in its complexity has over the last decades gained considerable critical importance in medieval studies. Medievalists have always paid attention to spatial questions, namely in the shape of inquiries into the location of national or religious communities, into medieval practices of pilgrimages, processions and travels, or into the symbolic associations of various places (the forest, the garden, the castle…).

  Medieval revolutions

  The French Journal of Medieval English Studies BAM is seeking submissions for a special issue focusing on the notion of “revolution”. The word “revolution” does not appear in English before the 14th century. The word is borrowed from French revolucion, derived from the Latin revolvere. In medieval Latin the meaning of revolutio becomes both scientific and religious as it describes the movement of celestial bodies and the transmigration of souls (metempsychosis). The first known occurrence of the word “revolution” to describe an abrupt change in social order dates from 1450. However, that use does not become common until the end of the 17th century.

  Les cultures des littoraux

  Cadres et modes de vie dans l’espace maritime Manche-Mer du Nord du IIIe au Xe siècle

  Les cultures des espaces maritimes et littoraux sont le thème de la table ronde de clôture des trois premières années d’activité d'un projet collectif de recherche. Son éclairage thématique transversal permettra de réexaminer la problématique des occupations côtières sur les quatre plans de la fréquentation, de l’exploitation, de la maîtrise et de l’aménagement des espaces littoraux, intégrant la question des échanges et des relations qu’ils conditionnent, sur le plan strictement humain, des idées, de l’économie et des techniques notamment. Nous souhaitons placer les apports des recherches récentes en Nord-Pas-de-Calais dans une perspective qui s’émancipe de sphères géographiques étroitement contingentées ou de périodes trop précisément définies, en considérant la bande côtière Manche-Mer du nord de la Normandie au delta rhéno-mosan, de la fin du IIIe siècle à la fin du Xe siècle.
