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?

The Environment at the Summit

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.

Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism and Anti-Terrorism in Contemporary Europe (1960s to the Present): Internationalisation, Circulation and Representations

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 XVI^e siècle, jusqu’à la fin du XVII^e, dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire (études italiennes, linguistique, études théâtrales).

Democracy at the University

Principles, Practices, and Challenges in a Globalized World

This conference aims to explore democracy in the university as a principle, a value, and a practice, both in France and internationally. It is structured around two parts – national and then comparative – and two thematic axes: on the one hand, the exercise of democracy within institutional structures (governance, elections, widened access, reforms); on the other hand, non-institutional forms (student mobilizations, participatory democracy, academic freedoms). The goal is to analyze the issues, actors, and democratic dynamics in a globalized university context.

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 XVIII^e 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 XX^e 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 XX^e et XXI^e 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.

Pendant et après la conquête : gouverner la pluralité

Durante e dopo la conquista: governare la pluralità

Après avoir considéré les modalités et raisons multiples et croisées des mouvements de départ et des conditions d’implantation des conquérants au sein des « Mondes normands médiévaux », les journées d’études accueillies à l’Université de Calabre (Rende-Cosenza) veulent considérer ce qui est une réalité variable, mais constante des mouvements de conquête suivies de construction politique dans les mondes normands médiévaux : le gouvernement de la pluralité (et de l’altérité) par les conquérants, leur entourage et leurs inévitables auxiliaires locaux.
