Publishing on art, architecture and the city: La Font de Saint-Yenne (1688-1771) and the ambition of a work

La contribution décisive de La Font de Saint-Yenne à la naissance et à l’affirmation d’un nouveau type de discours sur l’art au milieu du XVIII^e siècle n’est certainement plus à prouver. Même s’il participe à sa manière au jeu des Salons en investissant lui aussi des supports et des genres, lettres, dialogues d’idées, favorisant l’expression et l’échange d’opinions, l’auteur des Réflexions se démarque pourtant rapidement par son ambition de faire œuvre.

"Aysso es lo comessamen..." Writings and memoirs of medieval Montpellier

Around the "Petit Thalamus" of Montpellier

Le corpus montpelliérain des thalami, formé à partir du XIII^e siècle, constitue un ensemble documentaire unique à bien des égards, entre cartulaires et livres de gouvernement urbain. Composés sous l’égide du consulat, ils ont contribué à façonner, par le biais de l’élaboration d’un corpus normatif, de la construction d’une mémoire commune et de l’imposition de l’occitan comme langue d’écriture, une incontournable identité urbaine. À l’occasion de la mise en ligne de l’édition électronique du Petit Thalamus de Montpellier, ce colloque voudrait offrir l’occasion d’un dialogue constructif et fructueux entre historiens, historiens du droit, linguistes et spécialistes de l’image. Il a pour ambition de présenter les travaux issus des recherches menées sur les thalami, de replacer leur production dans le contexte politique et social du Montpellier médiéval et d’esquisser une comparaison avec des corpus documentaires analogues d’autres villes de Méditerranée occidentale. Le colloque s’accompagne d’une exposition de manuscrits des thalami préservés.

Persistent Spaces

Politics, aesthetics and topography in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century city

This two-day conference brings together young researchers to explore the city and its ideologies from a fully interdisciplinary perspective. Persistent Spaces combines approaches from various fields in order to create a dialogue between disciplines and methodologies. This conference also seeks to establish a dialogue between the 18^th and the 19^th centuries, in turns highlighting the individual specificities of these two periods, and accounting for the echoes, continuities and breaks between them.

Call for papers - History

Persistent Spaces: politics, aesthetics and topography in the XVIIIth and XIXth-century City

Our two-day postgraduate conference will explore the evolving configurations of the urban space from the Enlightenment to the late 19th-century. We will consider the accumulating and interpenetrating layers that make up the 18th- and 19th-century city. London and Paris will be our main focus, but this palimpsestic model may be extended elsewhere, and we will welcome abstracts centring on other cities. Interdisciplinarity will be key to our conference. We hope to attract researchers from various fields, including literature and the arts, sociology, philosophy, law, science and engineering, etc. Through this ‘decompartmentalized’ approach, we will attempt to shed light on the myriad facets of the 18th- and 19th-century city.

Conference, symposium - Representation

Nature(s): Designing, Experiencing, Representing the natural environment (18th to 21st centuries)

The international conference "Nature(s)" which will be held on June 6-8th, 2013 and will coincide with other cultural and scientific events in Nantes as a "European Green Capital", will question what is really at stake when human beings consciously deal with nature and natural spaces, especially in an urban context. Over the centuries, how have writers, artists, painters or landscape planners been grappling with nature in a rapidly growing urban world, and how did they question the way in which human beings lived but also dreamt their future?
