  The circulation of linguistic and philological knowledge between Germany and the world, 16th to 20th century

  By all measures, Germany played an overwhelming role in the development of philology and linguistics during the 19th century. This ascendancy rests on the transmission to other national academies of theoretical constructs and views, methods and institutional practices. On the other hand, German philological and linguistic ideas, methods and institutions were not constituted in isolation from the rest of the world : Transfers to the German-speaking world must also be taken into account.

  The Renaissance of Mineral Springs in Italy and Europe 1200-1600

  History, Culture and Ideas/Imagery

  From the 14th century thermalism flourished in Italy, Europe and, last but not least, in the German Empire. Because of the elitist patients, who come from afar to visit the baths, ancient springs are revitalized, new ones developed, and extended with a sophisticated infrastructure. Simultaneously to a changed body culture an autonomous balneological discourse emerges for the first time, which feeds on ancient and Arabic sources and on empirical observations made at this time. In addition to the miraculous, the special social conditions one experiences during a stay at a spa far away from home are reflected upon primarily in contemporary literature, but also in painting, in which the ancient tradition plays an important role. Our conference aims at bringing together different disciplinary and national approaches to a topic that is flourishing, but has so far been treated only sporadically.

  De la Culturwissenschaft aux Kulturwissenschaften : continuités et ruptures

  Depuis les années 1980, le tournant culturaliste a donné lieu à des évolutions considérables dans la germanistique allemande et autrichienne. Il a suscité des réorientations théoriques et pratiques au sein de celle-ci et a transformé le paysage institutionnel comme en témoigne l’apparition de départements et de cursus dédiés aux « Kulturwissenschaft(en) » émanant souvent du sein de la germanistique. Dans la mesure où ces sciences ne disposent pas en France de la même assise institutionnelle qu’en Allemagne et en Autriche, on s’interrogera dans une perspective comparatiste sur les évolutions connues ici et là par la germanistique sous l’effet de la nouvelle donne épistémologique.
