  Historic Urban Landscape of European Cathedral Cities

  Past Presencing. Public perceptions and understanding of the medieval city

  The term cathedral city indicates an urban settlement that became an Episcopal see in Antiquity or early in the medieval period, and was developed during the 11^th to the 15^th century. These were formative centuries for European cities, during which a concentration of religious and secular powers and of social and economic forces shaped the form of the urban built environment and redefined its cultural meanings through social practices of space. The aims of this workshop are to discuss how the public of today, inhabitants and visitors, perceive and unserstand the medieval heritage (tangible and intangible) of European cathedral cities.

  Norse Myths in the Artistic Reception

  Scandia Journal of Medieval Norse Studies, 4, 2021

  Norse myths represent one of the greatest cultural legacies from ancient Scandinavia. Throughout history, they have been perpetuated, re-signified and transformed by a great variety of artistic means, from their use on doors of Churches in the Middle Ages to modern depictions in today’s media. Some of our contemporary interpretations of such myths depend, to a greater extent, on different images that have been created in the past.

  Microbes and Microbiology: towards new stories?

  What are the different ways in which humanities describe microbiology, this multifaceted and complex object that, for more than a century, has given rise to various investigations, whether in the context of national histories, institutional studies, or scientific controversies? This webinar proposes to make an inventory of contemporary research in humanities on microbiology and to understand how this research has been transformed by the various “turns” in human and social sciences over the last decades - global turn, imperial turn, material turn, animal turn, to name but few. Beyond simple academic labels, what are, in concrete terms, the new questions, new objects, new methods and approaches currently shaping our understanding of the emergence of the science of microbes, and of the technical and social changes it has spawned until the present day?

  The Politics of Food in the United States

  ”Politique Américaine“ Journal

  This issue of Politique américaine seeks to address these interactions and to analyze the politics of food in grassroots social movements. Beyond the legitimate issues linked with public health and public policies, food-based social movements often advocate alternative ways of living together and provide a new perspective on civil society that is built outside the mainstream. Food is sustenance, but it is also a locus of socialization, sociability and education (Flammang), where issues of gender (Counihan), race (Witt, Opie) and class (Finn), are played out.

  The Moral And Global Geographies Of Spiritualties: Between Globalization And Glocalization

  Session de la conférence « Religion in Global/Local Perspective: Diffusion, Migration, Transformation », ISSR/SISR 2021

  Cette session se donne pour but d’examiner les tensions existant entre l’universalisation et la déterritorialisation (physique et symbolique) d’un côté, de particularisation et de territorialité (géographique et culturelle) d’un autre, des pratiques englobées sous la catégorie de « spiritualité » (pratiques symboliques et signifiantes mais non religieuses). Autant que les religions institutionnalisées et les NMR, les spiritualités s’étendent à échelle mondiale, via des processus de diffusion et jusqu’à un certain point, des mouvements migratoires.

  Islamic Legacy: Narratives East, West, South, North of the Mediterranean (1350-1750)

  A thesaurus under discussion

  Studying the relations between Christianity and Islam in late medieval and early modern Europe and the Mediterranean means to cover a vast geographical region, which is diverse in its languages and cultures. Against this background it is necessary to find a common ground that makes it possible to understand the exchange between these two cultures as one border-crossing phenomenon. To achieve this comprehensive understanding, it is necessary to identify overarching ideas and common terms that are widely used in this field of research. Some of these terms are used analogically or even equivalent in different languages, which emphasizes the fact that there were similar images circulating throughout Europe and the Mediterranean.

  The New Shape of Sharing: Networks, Expertise, Information

  Online series on key issues facing Western European collections and public services will encourage debate and surface new ideas. The sessions will focus on three areas: new models for collaborative collection development and services; the growing range of content and format types and their significance for libraries and researchers; and the evolving role of libraries and librarians in the research process. The multiple effects of the pandemic on libraries and academic institutions clearly demonstrate that the topics chosen for the forum—cooperation and sharing of collections, services, and technology among libraries, scholars, and members of the book and publishing communities—are particularly pertinent in today’s library environment.
