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.

Violence in Plato’s philosophy
Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence (Special Issue)
The Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence (PJCV) is seeking articles dealing with philosophical issues that arise in connection with the conception of conflict and violence within Plato’s philosophy. Conflict and violence are often regarded as two of Plato’s main interests in his political thought, especially when he discusses the dread and danger they bring to the city. However, is it possible to understand conflict and violence in Plato’s work only from this political and rather pejorative standpoint? It is possible to see conflict and violence in Plato’s philosophy as something else, rather than a threat to the harmony of the community?

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.

Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
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?

La notion de vernaculaire tend de plus en plus à échapper à l’opposition ancienne entre, d’une part, les idées de proximité et d’ancrage local qu'elle porterait traditionnellement et, d’autre part, celles de circulation et d’extra-localité qu'on associe par contraste au véhiculaire. La substantivation de l’adjectif vernaculaire et son adossement à celui de contemporain accompagne cette évolution. Aujourd’hui, le vernaculaire semble constituer un domaine culturel regroupant des manières de faire linguistiques, architecturales, paysagères, picturales, relevant de la création artistique, ou encore de la production d’objets. Ce colloque aura pour objet d’interroger cette notion à travers son renouvellement sémantique, ses circulations géographiques et ses ancrages disciplinaires.

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.

Taking in divine epithets and their circulation
Homer's gods II - EURYOPA
Le troisième atelier consacré aux dieux d'Homère portera sur l'articulation des épithètes dites littéraires et les épiclèses relevant de contextes rituels ou cultuels. Il s'agira, dans l'esprit du projet ERC-MAP d'aborder les attributs onomastiques comme un véritable langage, susceptible de faire système et d’évoluer au gré des contextes d’énonciation. L’objectif de la réunion sera de faire ressortir la complexité et la polysémie des outils onomastiques, ainsi que la multiplicité des enjeux qui y sont liés. Ce sera aussi l’occasion d’interroger les contours des catégories sans doute trop figées de « théonymes » et d’« épithètes », mais aussi d’« épiclèses (cultuelles) » et d’« épithètes (littéraires) ». Loin d’être un simple ornement ou ingrédient technique, l’épithète participe pleinement à la fabrique du divin en pays polythéiste et à la représentation des puissances invisibles.

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.

Sea journeys in the Mediterranean - from the Middle Ages to the first modern period
BABEL / LA3M international conference
Le colloque aborde le thème de l'itinérance en l’appliquant de manière privilégiée à l’espace maritime de la Méditerranée dans toute son étendue et toutes ses cultures, du Moyen Âge à la première modernité. Il rend compte des modalités, des enjeux des circulations de personnes autour des ports du bassin méditerranéen, dans leur dimension historique comme imaginaire. Les communications s’appuient sur un corpus varié de textes (récits de voyage, pèlerinages, hagiographies, récits de vie, registres officiels, lettres, témoignages, iconographie, documents d’archive, traités, poésie, littérature narrative) et de langues (arabe, français, italien, espagnol, anglais) et se situent au carrefour de la littérature, l’histoire, l'histoire de l'art et l’archéologie. La construction de cet espace, à la fois réel et mental, s'appuie sur la mobilité de personnes forcée (exil politique et religieux), l'errance (sans destination précise) comme l'itinéraire planifié (commercial, militaire, politique, diplomatique), les transferts culturels et la symbolique de la mer.
