Réactualisation des matériaux et savoir-faire préindustriels

Perspectives historiques

Faced with today's environmental and climatic challenges, architectural production needs to embrace a shift towards frugality, in particular through the use of bio- and geo-sourced materials. In this respect, pre-industrial knowledge and know-how can be particularly inspiring. The aim of this study day is to understand how to design, build and rehabilitate using ancient techniques. The aim is to examine gestures and know-how in relation to so-called traditional building materials. This one-day event will call on researchers to shed scientific light on these essential questions, so as to avoid falling into the irenic trap of a return to our roots, without misrepresenting them or greenwashing them. Adopting a historical perspective could be a way of avoiding this pitfall, contextualizing it and initiating a debate with the practitioners and future practitioners of tomorrow's architecture. This study day is aimed at students, teachers, researchers and anyone interested in learning more about these subjects. The aim is to develop an accurate awareness of materials and know-how.

Complotisme et théories du complot, nouveaux objets, nouveaux enjeux

Conspiracism and conspiracy theories, new objects, new issues

While conspiracism and conspiracy theories — along with the risks they entail — have become widespread in everyday discourse, they have only recently emerged as subjects of philosophical inquiry. What can philosophy bring to bear on these new objects of inquiry?How can we precisely define what is meant by conspiracism and conspiracy theory?How should we assess, justify, or question the critiques commonly leveled against them?What tools can philosophy offer in addressing conspiratorial discourse? This study day aims to engage with these questions, and is proud to welcome — for the first time in a French-speaking context — several authors who have pioneered the philosophical examination of these issues.

Objects and everyday life in Early Modern Latin America Art

Crafts, and material culture in light of the encounter with European travellers

Colonial studies in recent years are increasingly bringing attention to topics that go beyond purely historical, geographical, or ethical issues. There is also a desire to focus on aspects of everyday life, on the elements that constituted moments of family routine, the rituals of cult activities, the spheres of work, like handicrafts, agriculture, and commerce, or personal affairs. This workshop intends to explore precisely this reality, and investigate the objects that were part of the private and everyday - but also public and religious - moments in the lives of the peoples of Latin America between the 16^th and 18^th centuries.

What is an eco-cultural niche? Rethinking the shape of eco-cultural niches

This workshop aims at bringing together ecologists, anthropologists, environmentalists and archaeologists, in order to discuss the definition of eco-cultural niches, a concept that was first proposed by Banks et al. 2006. Significant time will be given to open discussions in order to co-create a new theoritical framework for the analysis of human-environment macro-relationships in the past, using the approach of eco-cultural niche modeling. All scholars (students, teachers, researchers,...) interested in this approach can participate to the meeting and discussions.

Secularization of religious assets in Enlightened Europe: urban development, architecture and art works.

The suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773 marks the last step of the Order’s progressive dissolution initiated fifteen years earlier, in Europe and in its colonies. This act of suppression was the culmination of a broader secularisation movement concerning religious congregations across Europe, from the 1760s to the French Revolution. Several studies have already investigated the dispersal of abolished congregations’ assets in different parts of Enlightened Europe, but a broader overview is yet to be drawn. Furthermore, it is necessary to define common characteristics of confiscation procedures and real properties’ functional transformations during the three decades before the nationalisation of Church property undertaken in France in 1789.

The intimate and the public

The face in 18th and 19th century public sculpture in France and in the German sphere

This study day devoted to sculpture will focus on one element in particular: the face. As an essential part of the sculpted figure, the face has the dual role of enabling identification and expression. This dual role became more apparent in the 18th and 19th centuries, with the rise of portraiture, as well as the interest in the inner self and more broadly, the intimate. The aim of this exhibition is to draw a parallel between two contradictory concepts : the intimate and the public. As sculpture is the art par excellence of the public space, the aim is to confront the face, which is intimate, with the imperatives of public sculpture. The aim of this study day is to examine the representation of the face in Franco-German public sculpture in the 18th and 19th centuries, analysing its theories, practices, techniques, possible typologies and the way it is perceived by the viewer.

Archives of Archaeology: History, Plurality, and New Perspectives

For over twenty years, the archives of archaeology have attracted the interest of historians, archaeologists, archivists and curators. These sources, which are not limited to field documents, have become essential for writing the history of the discipline and its many socio-political and cultural facets and actors. This workshop aim to present and discuss new ways of thinking and using archaeological archives for a renewed social and political history of archaeology.

The Global Musical Instrument Market: Making, Trading and Collecting in the 19th Century and the Early 20th Century

Ivory and tropical woods sawn in European factories, pianos exported as far as Oceania, collections brought back from the colonies: the market for musical instruments went global in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The rise of trade routes and steam navigation supported the globalization of markets for the raw materials used by instrument makers, whose instruments were exported to every continent, while “exotic” objects enriched museums across Europe, serving the colonial project and the manufacture of musical elsewhere. Historians, musicologists and curators explore the journey of instruments around the world through three themes: collections and empires, trade and manufacture, exchanges and appropriation of sounds.

Les « empires » trans-médiatiques, des années 1920 aux années 1960 : essor(s) et organisation(s)

(The Rise of) TransMedia 'Empires,' 1920s-1960s

Cette journée d’étude se propose d’étudier la création et le développement de véritables « empires » médiatiques dans le monde anglophone et en Europe de l’Ouest, du milieu des années 1920 au début des années 1960, à une époque où des images, fixes et animées, viennent s’incorporer aux textes « voyageant » à travers différents médias. Les intervenants pourront examiner l'impact des liens professionnels, personnels et financiers des propriétaires d'empires médiatiques sur la production médiatique. Ils s'intéresseront également à l'évolution des acteurs au sein des empires médiatiques, à l'importance des relations amicales et familiales dans leur construction, ainsi qu'à la formation de publics réceptifs.

List, compile, assemble: small forms and the power of collecting

Workshop of the research training group “The literary and epistemic history of small forms”

Unraveling the various asymmetries inherent in collecting requires shifting our focus from collections themselves to how collections come into being. This entails viewing collections as both purposeful and contingent results of scientific or cultural practice. Drawing on the history of collecting and the history of paperwork, this interdisciplinary workshop aims to enhance our understanding of the collecting processes involving written testimonies, inscriptions, and texts. With a focus on contexts such as artistic-literary primitivism or colonial encounters, the workshop proposes a comparative examination of the asymmetries associated with collecting via three main axes: actor-networks involved in the production of collections, the role of collecting in the management of life, and how collections emerge from asymmetrical media practices.

Literatur and Psychiatrie revisited, 1920–1970

Momente gegenseitiger Beobachtung | Moments d'observation mutuelle

Le colloque se consacrera à la relation entre littérature et psychiatrie après « l’âge d’or de l’aliénisme » ( Castel 1977) en examinant des moments d’observation et de description mutuelles qui se déroulent entre l’apparition des avant-gardes et l’apogée de l’antipsychiatrie européenne. Faudra-t-il adapter les catégories d’analyse littéraire et d’histoire des savoirs qui ont fait leurs preuves dans l’étude du XIX^e siècle lorsqu’il s’agit d’explorer les relations entre l’écriture littéraire et le savoir psychopathologique dans le contexte des bouleversements poétologiques et épistémologiques survenus depuis l’entre-deux-guerres ?

Laughter in Japanese Literature from the Heian Period to the Meiji Era

Laughter is omnipresent and plays an essential role in the ancient Japanese literary tradition. Its study provides a cross-disciplinary approach to classical Japanese literature, transcending the boundaries of genres (poetry/prose) or periods (classical period, Edo period, Meiji era). More specifically, the purpose of this one-day symposium is to identify and analyse the forms of laughter present in the reputedly 'serious' genres of classical Japanese poetry (waka) and especially the novel of the Heian period, as well as in productions from later periods.

Regards et réflexions sur les concepts de bifurcations et « doing transitions »

The aim of this Franco-German study day is to bring together different international research traditions. The aim is to compare research angles, concepts, frameworks and methods relating to life-course transitions. The widespread approach to the concept of 'bifurcation' in French-language research offers many possibilities for convergence with the 'Doing transitions' approach developed in recent years by the 'Doing transitions Graduiertenkolleg' research group. This comparative exercise will be considered not only between two countries, but also between two concepts that become fertile methodological tools for the emergence of new lines of thought, allowing both possible exchanges between the two traditions to generate a common field, but also the contribution of new epistemological avenues to fuel the debate on each side of the Rhine.
