Call for papers - Early modern
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.

Narrative forms and co-production in Arab cinemas
Norms, constraints, and margins of freedom
Film industry in the Arab world remains generally underdeveloped. Arab countries still depend on international film support funds, mainly European. This puts Arab producers, scriptwriters and filmmakers in a subaltern position in relation to European producers and funders, whose expectations in terms of content as well as narrative and aesthetic forms end up strongly impacting the film creation process. On the other hand, margins of freedom and resistance can be created within this system. This edition of Regards aims at addressing the complex relation between Arab cinemas and international film support funds.

Women and Violence in the Late Medieval Mediterranean, ca. 1100-1500
A two-days international conference
The last decades have witnessed an increased interest in research on the relationship between women and violence in the Middle Ages, with new works both on female criminality and on women as victims of violence. The contributions of gender theory and feminist criminology have renewed the approached used in this type of research. Nevertheless, many facets of the complex relationship between women and violence in medieval times still await to be explored in depth. This conference aims to understand how far the roots of modern assumptions concerning women and violence may be found in the late medieval Mediterranean, a context of intense cultural elaboration and exchange which many scholars have indicated as the cradle of modern judicial culture. While dialogue across the Mediterranean was constant in the late Middle Ages, occasions for comparative discussion remain rare for modern-day scholars, to the detriment of a deeper understanding of the complexity of many issues. Thus, we encourage specialists of different areas across the Mediterranean (Western Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic world) to contribute to the discussion. What were the main differences and similarities? How did these change through time? What were the causes for change? Were coexisting assumptions linking femininity and violence conflicting or collaborating?

Power and emotions - sensitivities, representations and governance in Modern Europe (France-Spain)
Cette journée d'étude transpériodique et interdisciplinaire (histoire, civilisation hispanique, histoire des arts, sciences politiques, etc.) entend interroger les rapports de pouvoir et de domination (sur le plan politique, économique psychologique ou symbolique) s’inscrivant dans une dimension sensible et s’exprimant par des émotions (adhésion, résistance, joie, tristesse, amour, haine, etc.) individuelles et/ou collectives qui peuvent aussi bien renforcer les structures de décision que les fragiliser en cas de contestation radicale. Le domaine d’étude visé est l’Epoque Moderne (France-Espagne) sans pour autant s’interdire d’explorer des repères plus anciens, dotés d’une valeur exemplaire ou fondatrice.

Religious practices, memory and identities in the Greco-Roman world
Les liens du fait religieux avec le social et les conduites de vie constituent, dans les mondes antiques comme pour d’autres périodes de l’histoire, un thème privilégié de l’histoire culturelle. Dans ce domaine, il est possible en particulier de chercher à comprendre dans la diachronie les modalités de l’interaction entre la construction d’identités par les représentations et le jeu des pratiques religieuses, dans une optique d’histoire de la mémoire. Dans un cadre élargi au monde gréco-romain et sur le temps long, il s’agira, selon une démarche visant à aborder les dynamiques rituelles sous l’angle de leurs altérations et restaurations historiques, de scruter les efforts de mémoire dont nos sources - tant littéraires qu’épigraphiques, papyrologiques ou archéologiques - témoignent dans la sphère des pratiques religieuses, en lien avec la construction des identités.

Musical exchanges between France and Greece at the dawn of the 21st century (1980-2010)
Si le nationalisme en musique a donné du sens et de l’importance aux œuvres d’art et aux grands compositeurs, comment peut-on décrire les relations franco-grecques à notre époque marquée par la globalisation ? À l'aube du XXIe siècle, et plus particulièrement durant les trente dernières années (1980-2010) où le langage musical évolue entre autres grâce à la technologie (média et nouvelles technologies, musique électroacoustique, mixte, etc.), quelle est la nature des échanges musicaux entre la France et la Grèce ?

Conference, symposium - Urban studies
This international conference will discuss interdisciplinary questions regarding the importance of cathedrals and mosques in the definition of memory and urban landscape in the medieval Mediterranean from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries. Our research aims at analysing the role these two buildings played in configuring the urban fabric of the Mediterranean world. One of our primary objectives is to understand how these buildings defined medieval landscape and urban space. How did they modify and condition the social and functional organisation of their urban surroundings? What architectural features contributed to their place in civic memory (decoration, architectural style and building techniques)? We are interested in the place they occupy in their cities’ urban planning and topography.

The spectacle of religion - individual commitment and community constructions
Les historiens de l’Antiquité ont admis le caractère profondément pluriel des pratiques religieuses qui sont articulées, en particulier, au politique, au culturel ou encore aux modèles éducatifs. Or le lien entre religion et spectacle, souvent évoqué dans les études sur les religions anciennes, n’a suscité à ce jour que peu d’études approfondies. Il s’agira pour le colloque de s’interroger sur les modalités de participation des acteurs du rituel en prenant en compte ce que nous pourrions appeler le caractère « spectaculaire » des célébrations religieuses.

Multidisciplinary Approaches to Food and Foodways in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean
Within the rapidly expanding area of research on food and foodways, the medieval eastern Mediterranean is still very much an unexplored area. The aim of the POMEDOR project (People, Pottery and Food in the Medieval Eastern Mediterranean) was to explore this new field in a multidisciplinary way and to stimulate further research.

L’objectif principal de ce colloque est d’analyser les phénomènes de circulation et de mobilité des élites lettrées (clercs, universitaires, praticiens), des enlumineurs, des manuscrits, des textes, des modèles artistiques et des idées liés à la pratique du droit dans le territoire européen avec une attention particulière pour les contrées méridionales (péninsule Ibérique, France du Midi et Italie). La recherche qui soutien l'idée de ce colloque dérive du projet de post-doctorat de Maria Alessandra Bilotta, qui vise à étudier les manuscrits juridiques enluminés conservés au Portugal et à mettre en évidence les liens artistiques et culturels entre le Portugal et le reste de l'Europe, avec un accent particulier sur les manuscrits des régions du sud (de la péninsule ibérique, sud de la France et de la péninsule italienne).

Talking about the city in Greek in Antiquity and in the Byzantine age
Le colloque « Dire la ville en grec aux époques antique et byzantine », qui se tiendra à Créteil et à Paris les 10 et 11 juin 2016, invite à s’interroger sur les mots et les discours relatifs à la ville dans les territoires où l’on a parlé grec au cours de l’Antiquité et du Moyen Âge. Cette étude du vocabulaire et du langage vise à mieux comprendre les représentations mentales qui sous-tendent l’usage des mots et que, dans un mouvement inverse mais simultané, ces derniers construisent. Comment les mots de la ville se façonnent-ils ? Comment les mots façonnent-ils la ville ?
