  Heraldry in the Medieval City – The Case of Italy in the European Context

  A visitor passing through Italy is surprised by the abundance of coats of arms that still decorate the palaces and public monuments of its cities. Relatively undisturbed by the tides of history that destroyed a lot of Europe's heraldic heritage, in the Italian cities this heritage is still alive and well. While the development of heraldic signs occasionally caught the eye of historians and art historians, they have never done justice to the multitude and diversity of the existing sources. Recently, however, research has taken an interest in the subject with renewed vigour and approaches, especially in the case of Italy. The aim of this conference is to establish the current state of research and to advance the subject by linking more closely the history of heraldic communication and the history of cities. To do so, the Italian example shall be put into a European perspective.

  La ciudad ante su identidad. La Península Ibérica en los siglos XIII al XV

  La notion d’identité (politique) constitue actuellement l’un des référents intellectuels et explicatifs les plus puissants dans le domaine de la sociologie et des sciences politiques, mais aussi dans le secteur des études historiques. On prétend contribuer, au travers de cette notion, à une connaissance meilleure des formes de positionnement et de relation sociopolitiques des acteurs sociaux, en partant de la construction de leur « moi » (politique) dans leurs divers milieux spatio-personnels d’interaction et des cadres culturels à la base de leurs procédés de développement socio-politique.
