Scandal in Italian Society (1350-1530): norms, transgressions, and representations
Cahiers d’études italiennes
This thematic issue of Cahiers d’études italiennes aims to examine both the polysemy and social functions of scandal in Italy in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance (1350-1530), combining approaches from history, literature, art history, political philosophy, and law. Contributions will focus primarily on Italian society, but contributions addressing cases of scandal related to Italy or Italian personalities are also welcome.

Rereading, (re)emergence, appropriation: What is to be done with the art of the past?
The writings of art historians, like the works of art themselves, are a place of emergence, return, and incessant reinterpretation. This dialogue between periods at the heart of both artistic creation and the narrative of our discipline will be the subject of the 2026 edition of the Ecole de Printemps. Proposals for papers could present case studies, where a work or body of work quotes, repeats, adopts, or readapts earlier images, objects, or monuments. They might analyse historiographical reinterpretations by considering them as transhistorical interventions and reappropriations – whether textual, visual or museum-based.

Au cours de l’histoire, la figure de saint François d’Assise a connu en France des fortunes diverses. Au XIIIᵉ siècle, lors de la querelle entre réguliers et séculiers, les frères mineurs surent s’imposer dans les universités et occupèrent d’importantes chaires de théologie à la Faculté de Paris. Si saint François est, en Italie, à l’origine d’une nouvelle langue poétique et d’un nouveau langage figuratif, quel est son héritage linguistique et poétique, mais aussi spirituel et philosophique, en France ?

This international conference aims to explore the central role of culture and art in the reconstruction and regeneration of the social fabric, through a reinterpretation of trauma as a driver of creation and preservation of cultural memory and as a form of resistance to the politics of erasure. We encourage papers dealing with the interconnections between trauma, memory and resistance in multiple artistic languages to highlight the role of art in reinterpreting trauma, making it a source of memory and thus a basis for social change. The focus will be on the artistic production, especially during the 21st century, created by Palestinian artists about Palestine, including those in the diaspora.

Diplomatic Gifts in the Modern and Contemporary Eras
Definitions, Changes, and Patrimonialisation on a Global Scale
Considering the long history of diplomatic relations, the conference aims above all to fully analyse the evolving agency of gifts, from the strengthening of princely dynastic alliances to the consolidation of nation states, as well as the way in which the objects offered construct and potentially reconfigure links. How do these objects fit into a policy of gift-giving, whether serial or renewed over time? According to what rituals must these witnesses, which seal the agreement, themselves reactivate the alliance (counter-gift, reconnection journey, etc.)? How are they perceived and understood a few years after they were offered, and when they become part of discourses on patrimonialisation, especially in places dedicated to their collective conservation, which are themselves, in turn, active tools?

Actors and representations of the safeguard of nature in mountain areas: a global perspective (late 18th – early 21st century)
The aim of this international scientific conference is to examine the progressive integration of the environmental protection theme into the several mountain ranges of the Earth, between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 21st century, concluding in 2022, the International Year of Mountains. By selecting a global perspective, it encourages a decentring of observation points, which in turn brings to light not only the diversity of trajectories but also the possible (direct or indirect) circulation of knowledge, materials, practices and individuals in the different mountain ranges.

La volontà di sapere | The Will to Knowledge
“Vesper. Journal of Architecture, Arts & Theory” No. 14,
Michel Foucault, in La volonté de savoir (1976), described how the mechanisms of the examination of conscience belonging to the pastoral tradition of the 17th century progressively extended to all areas of society, marking the threshold of a biopolitical modernity. Here, the ‘will to knowledge’ is not the subject’s drive for research, but the injunction to bring into the field of knowledge-power those borderline domains of life that had been previously excluded from it: death, birth, sexuality. This process of the adherence of knowledge to bodies entirely invests our time and urges us to reflect on the figures of the ‘will to knowledge’ in the new millennium.

The aim of this conference is to examine the modalities and consequences of terrorist action, as well as the interweaving of anti-terrorist practices (public policies, legal frameworks, prevention) and counter-terrorist practices (operational, military or police actions) aimed at containing terrorism in societies which are not engaged in international warfare. The aim of this conference is to analyse the ways in which anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism have mutually redefined each other, while constantly reconfiguring the boundaries of political, military, police and legal interventions across the European continent from the second half of the 20th century onwards.In addition to this political and institutional approach, the conference will also look into the representations, as well as the social and media effects of these phenomena.

La commedia dell’arte, entre individus et fraternal compagnie
Le colloque propose d’interroger cette dynamique fondatrice, en portant une attention particulière à la manière dont elle a contribué à façonner l’évolution du théâtre professionnel, ses formes organisationnelles, ses langages et sa réception culturelle. L’objectif est d’utiliser cette thématique comme une lentille d’observation pour éclairer différents phénomènes liés à l’univers de la commedia dell’arte, depuis sa naissance, au milieu du XVIe siècle, jusqu’à la fin du XVIIe, dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire (études italiennes, linguistique, études théâtrales).

Ordre et désordre dans la presse
Nouveaux métiers, matérialité des imaginaires et duels de plume et d’épée au cours du long XIXe siècle
L’objectif de ce colloque international, organisé par le Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del Sapere dell’Università di Pisa et le Centre de la Méditerranée Moderne et Contemporaine (CMMC) de l’Université Côte d’Azur, est d’approfondir la connaissance des formes de l’essor inédit de la presse à partir de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, et jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale. Il s’inscrit dans la lignée d’un renouvellement historiographique en cours. Pour cette nouvelle manifestation, il s’agit d’appréhender de nouveaux pans de la grande transformation médiatique à travers trois axes : le rôle de la presse dans la mise en ordre ou en désordre du monde social, suscitant, confortant ou renversant des imaginaires sociaux, y compris ceux qui concernent les actrices et acteurs du champ médiatique ; l’importance des producteurs/productrices et des productions d’iconographie journalistique (caricatures et illustrations) ; et les formes des violences générées par la presse, qu’elles émanent du public, des autorités, ou bien qu’elles aient lieu entre journalistes.

Literary paradigms and research perspectives
Ce colloque se propose d’explorer la centralité et la complexité du concept de risque dans la littérature de langue française dès le début du XXe siècle jusqu’à nos jours. L’initiative s’insère dans le cadre du projet de recherche Déclinaisons du risque : pour une archéologie des imaginaires littéraires des XXe et XXIe siècles (PRIN 2022), développé par les équipes de recherche en Littérature française des universités de Turin, Bergame et Naples Federico II. Adoptant une approche interdisciplinaire, le projet vise à mettre en lumière la manière dont le risque — communément étudié dans les sciences exactes et sociales — revêt, dans les pratiques littéraires, la signification d’une incertitude intrinsèque à tout projet créatif.

Political Objects on the Move. For a Material History of Politics in the Long 19th Century
Special issue of the journal “Contemporanea. Rivista di storia dell’800 e del ’900”
This special issue of Contemporanea aims to reflect on the mobility of political material culture, analysing how its circulation and transformation, both physical and symbolic in time and space, generated connections between contexts and movements, disseminated and popularised images and imagination, and redefined and influenced political sensibilities and practices during the long 19th century.

Satie 2025. One hundred years of heritage
Le colloque propose une réflexion sur l’héritage de Satie aux XXe et XXIe siècles, en favorisant la comparaison entre différents répertoires et expériences, dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire. Il sera également question de poser le problème en termes transdisciplinaires étant donné la propension de l’auteur à élargir les frontières sémantiques et esthétiques de la musique elle-même. Cette perspective élargie ne devra cependant pas exclure l’interrogation purement musicologique et sont attendues des contributions novatrices – surtout dans le domaine analytique – en vertu des compétences spécifiques exprimées par le partenariat avec les Conservatoires de Turin et Catane.

Monasteries and religious communities in the Alps from the Middle Ages to the present day
History, landscape, architecture and enhancement of cultural heritage
Volume 31/2026 of Histoire des Alpes – Storia delle Alpi – Geschichte der Alpen wishes to dedicate its Dossier to the theme of monasteries and religious communities in the Alpine region. While the history of regular communities was largely investigated from the second half of the 19th century until the first years of the 20th century, in particular thanks to the impetus of members of the clergy who devoted themselves to collecting, transcribing and translating archives, as well as publishing monographs, there has been a revival of interest in this subject over the last few decades in the Alps and Pre-Alps, driven in particular by archaeologists, by the diversification of issues concerning the religious world and, locally, by the desire of the public authorities to broaden the range of the tourism offer by promoting local heritage.
