Limiares homem / animal na literatura e na cultura da idade média
XIII colóquio da secção portuguesa da associação hispanica de literatura medieval (AHLM)
O propósito do colóquio consiste em convidar os investigadores em literatura medieval a revisitarem o seu objeto de estudo à luz da relação humano-animal, encarada menos como fronteira e descontinuidade do que como limiar e continuidade. Francisco de Assis, convirá recordar, proclamava a comunidade das criaturas e a irmandade das espécies. Sem dúvida a mais ilustre representante da contracorrente do pensamento ocidental na Idade Média, a mensagem franciscana, cuja atualidade se afigura premente, é poderosamente inspiradora de renovados enfoques da animalidade, incluindo a humana, na literatura e no imaginário medievais.

Materialities and devotion (5th-15th centuries)
V Medieval Europe in motion
The last decades have witnessed the development of studies on material culture, favouring an inter- and multidisciplinary approach. This has enabled a more cohesive reading of the way in which the medieval Man related to his material environment, manipulating, adapting and transforming it, of the uses given to the objects he produced, the meanings attributed, how he interacted with them in cognitive and affective terms.

Making Sense of Latin Classics in the Middle Ages
12th Celtic Conference in Classics (panel 11)
The aim of this panel is to explore how medieval authors have dealt with the Classical heritage within their own cultural context. This enquiry could illustrate different degrees of exploitation of classical texts: from systematic excerption to scattered quotations naturalized in different frameworks, from the reshaping of biographies, political and philosophical treatises to the reuse of poetical patterns in order to convey new values. Making sense always implies a multiple perspective. The goal of this panel is to encourage the interaction between different points of view – historical, philological, literary, philosophical, scientific – in order to get a better understanding of the cultural background through which the Classics had to pass before reaching us.

The New Medieval Lisbon 1147-1217
The Ways of the West and the East
Between the 23rd and 25th of October 2017, the Institute for Medieval Studies (IEM) will organize the V colloquium “The New Medieval Lisbon”. The commemorative evocation of the conquests of Lisbon in 1147 and of Alcácer do Sal in 1217 is the pretext for a broader debate not only around these events, their meaning and impact, but also on its wider context, and on the diversity of the ways that, at the time, were being shaped and reshaped, both in the peninsular context and in the wider scenarios which linked the West to the East.

This International conference will be devoted to Medieval Pantheons. The main aim is to promote a broad and innovative debate on the concept of “pantheon” throughout the Middle Ages, as well as their underlying intentions. It is also intended to address the specificity of themes that are intertwined with the construction, ornamentation and everyday uses of these spaces by the communities that host them.

Conference, symposium - Europe
State-Rooms of Royal and Princely Palaces in Europe (14th-16th c.)
Spaces, images, rituals
From the fourteenth to the sixteenth century, European monarchies saw a gradual centralisation of power. This was accompanied by the dissemination of political ideas that contributed to the making of a new image of the prince, which relied on visual instruments to assert and construct the prince’s sovereign power. Royal and princely residences with their designated state-rooms were at the centre of this phenomenon. Their decors, particularly during ceremonies, reflected political interests and ambitions that were essential to the image of the prince. By placing a particular emphasis on the decor of those state-rooms, this workshop aims to increase our insights into the relations between the architecture, decoration, and rituals of monarchical power in state-rooms from the late middle ages to the beginning of the early modern period.
