The role of women in decorative arts and design in France (1850 to the present)

This conference aims to discuss and to provide a state of research on the role of women in decorative arts and design in France but also to shed light on an aspect of artistic creation. It aims to give an overview of the evolution and role of women in the decorative arts and design in France since the mid-19th century in order to complete a current knowledge related to an ongoing field of research in the history of art and creative industries. In this purpose, we would also propose to cross-analyze the problematic at an international level, particularly in Europe, in order to better address and deepen the issue.

Figures de Michel Guérin

Colloque de la programmation estivale de Cerisy

Michel Guérin est philosophe et écrivain. Son travail, essentiellement esthétique et anthropologique, se veut l’approche inédite d’une pensée affectée, celle de la « figure ». Depuis plus de quarante ans, le philosophe interroge son intuition séminale, en réfléchissant sur le geste, la technique, la croyance, l’amitié, l’espace plastique, etc. Ce colloque entre art et philosophie se tiendra en présence de l’auteur, à qui une exposition sera dédiée.

The Atmospheres and Ambiences of Modernist Literature

The figure of atmosphere has emerged with increasing prominence over the course of the last twenty years as a means of reconfiguring our ways of engaging with literary texts. We propose to embark on a rereading of modernist literature with a renewed attention to the atmospheres, ambiences, or Stimmungen that modernist works seem intensely engaged in. As we reread these works of modernist literature today in the era of what Bruno Latour calls our ongoing “ecological mutation,” perhaps we may learn to patiently attune our attention to what is in the background: the atmospheres and ambiences that make our world and our situations of reading what they are and what they may become. We welcome papers that engage with atmosphere/ambience in any imaginable form in the works of modernist literature in the Anglophone world from the marginal to the canonical.

Images de Chateaubriand sous la Monarchie de Juillet (1830-1848) et premières images posthumes (1848-1914)

Après une première journée d’étude consacrée aux images de Chateaubriand sous la Restauration, la Société Chateaubriand a souhaité prolonger ses réflexions aux années qui ont suivi, à savoir celles de la Monarchie de Juillet jusqu’à envisager les années qui succèdent à sa mort et qui restent marquées par les premières lectures des Mémoires d’outre-tombe. Ainsi, cent années d’images seront considérées au sein de notre étude afin d’envisager Chateaubriand dans toute sa dimension kaléidoscopique et dans la continuité du siècle.

Space and scale in missionary agency (1880–1920)

The symposium revolves around the question of the agency of the Christian missionaries and their sending organizations which have been, to varying degrees, major actors of social and cultural mutations among the people and societies they worked with. Through the diverse presentations from scholars of various geographical and academic fields, we hope to get a better understanding of the impact of European and North American Christian missions at the turn of the twentieth century, and spur greater interest on this subject.

Decoding European History through Guns: Methodologies and Research Approaches

What are firearms? How did they impact on the history of European societies? What are the more promising research approaches for studying them? Firearms hold profound implications for European societies, influencing international relations, the diffusion of violence, and State sovereignty. This workshop will convene researchers examining themes such as the relationship between European States and guns, global efforts to regulate arms markets, the role of firearms in changing the societal perception of violence, and the semantic nuances defining these instruments. Through exploration of diverse research methodologies, the workshop aims to highlight the significance of firearms as both a subject of scholarly inquiry and a lens for examining critical aspects of contemporary history, shedding new light on the European past – one trigger pull at a time.

A Byzantine Century

Reassessing Neo-Byzantine Style from Paris to Algiers to Tiflis – and Beyond (ca. 1800 – 1920)

In the wake of blossoming discussions on the reception history of the Middle Ages, this conference attempts to rethink the protean and eclectic term “Neo-Byzantine” from a broad perspective. We are particularly interested in the complex articulation between art historical theory, architectural and artistic practice, and the actual patronages and uses of the “Neo-Byzantine.” We invite scholars dealing with the issue from a broad chronological (1800–1920) and geographical frame, bridging Europe, North Africa, and West Asia. We especially welcome are case studies or broader reflections on the uses of “Neo-Byzantine” architecture in processes of identity and nation-building and within frameworks of orientalism and colonialism.

Changes in property rights and land regulation

Global and historical perspectives

How do land reforms affect land access and property rights? Who are the actors of these transformations? Does such evolution contribute to the commodification and financialization of land? How do urban regulations produce informalities and affect socio-spatial dynamics? This half-day thematic seminar seeks to delve into these key questions with two roundtables. Aiming to inform today’s urban transformations through law and history, the six presentations will cover different contexts as diverse as Istanbul, Northern Italy, rural China, Madrid, and colonial Bombay, spanning from the 14th century to today.

Local communities in Austria-Hungary and beyond

“Acta Poloniae Historica”

Changes in the management of the Habsburg Empire and new technologies, expanding the circulation of social communication, accelerated the modernisation processes taking place in Central Europe. It was an area inhabited by various ethnic, national, religious and linguistic communities; they had to rework their modus vivendi and to find their place in complex networks of relations, in the context of the liberalising legal framework of the 1860s in the Austrian part of the monarchy and the tightening grip of the state on the local non-Magyar initiatives in the Hungarian part. Deep and multi-faceted socio-cultural changes were leading to new cumulations of symbolic (and political) power; new groups, termed here as local communities (political, social, religious), were gaining visibility and sought recognition, according to changing configuration of values and integration impulses. We pose the question how the new or redefined communities were formed and managed.

Journalisme narratif et littérature (Europe latine - Amérique latine)

Cette journée d’étude doctorale se propose de réfléchir aux cas d’auteurs ayant mêlé écriture littéraire et écriture journalistique, entre Europe latine et Amérique latine. À partir de la notion de journalisme narratif et/ou littéraire, nous nous interrogerons sur les modalités et les formes de cette hybridation : comment ces pratiques d’écriture, sous-tendues par des enjeux éthiques, artistiques et économiques différents, s’influencent-elles mutuellement ? Dans quelle mesure peuvent-elles constituer, l’une pour l’autre, une valeur ajoutée ? Que nous disent-elles du rôle sociétal de l’écrivain ?

What counting means in an imperial and colonial situation

This conference intends to open in new ways the file of accounting and statistical approaches produced in imperial and colonial context (thematic maps, surveys, statistical series etc.) to extract all the information that they are likely to provide on societies and situations that they are supposed to illuminate. Taking into account the numerous historiographical findings, the critiques of the different numerical elements used, their racialist and normative aims, it is as much a question of being interested in the conditions of their production, whether they are visible (investigators) or invisible (interpreters , village elites), than to analyze the reactions to their production, their distribution or to specify the expectations of the sponsors and the uses to which they give rise. The conference intends to encourage the crossing of the scales mobilized by the different supports of these accounting elements, starting from individuals and up to the relations between administrations or colonial companies and the Metropolis.

Le portefeuille sous toutes ses coutures

Archiver et conserver ses documents de travail (XVIe-XVIIIe siècle)

Avec l’essor du concept de literacy, la « vie des écrits » a animé les récentes études historiques. Le portefeuille pourrait ajouter à ce renouvellement historiographique un outil utilisé dans tous les secteurs de la société qui renferme des documents permettant de se rapprocher au plus près du quotidien des acteurs. Brouillons, prises de notes de lecture, lettres, imprimés et autres sont des « écrits vivants » offrant la possibilité d’écrire une histoire matérielle, culturelle, sociale et politique. Suite au succès de la journée d’études « Le portefeuille sous toutes ses coutures. Archiver et conserver ses documents de travail (XVI^e-XVIII^e siècle) », la publication d’un volume collectif a été décidée. C’est ici le portefeuille comme outil de travail dans la société entière qui est envisagé : le portefeuille d’un ministre, d’un négociant, d’un artiste, d’un artisan, d’un homme de lettres ou encore d’un savant. Des propositions sur ses utilisations au XIX^e siècle seront également les bienvenues.

Musicien et pianiste européen : Amédée Méreaux, son œuvre et son temps

Qui se souvient aujourd’hui d’Amédée Méreaux ? L’homme et le musicien n’ont certes pas totalement disparu de la mémoire de Rouen, où une petite rue éloignée du centre-ville porte encore aujourd’hui son nom. Néanmoins, cet artiste n’évoque aujourd'hui plus grand chose. Pourtant, Amédée Méreaux (1802-1874) est une personnalité importante du monde musical à l’époque de Berlioz.

A Blue Art History

Artistic Creation, Biodiversity and Oceanic Environment (19th-21st Centuries)

This interdisciplinary symposium brings together researchers from the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, as well as artists and museum professionals, to analyze ocean-related art. “The ocean comprises the largest object on our planet” is how literary scholar Steve Mentz describes it, as he works to bring together different forms of knowledge about this elusive entity. Mentz coined the term “blue humanities” to bring together interdisciplinary methodologies that focuses on the ocean. This symposium aims to enrich this field through the arts. Open to the public, it seeks to encourage exchange and discussion.

Arts et document

Journées doctorales du laboratoire Litt&Arts

La question des rapports entre le réel et l’imaginaire, le fictionnel et le factuel, inhérente à toute pratique et réflexion artistique, se centre depuis une quinzaine d’années sur la notion de « document » et le terme « documentaire », dont l’usage n’est désormais plus restreint à l’esthétique cinématographique ou photographique. En constatant un essor d’intérêt pour les pratiques documentaires en littérature et arts, nous nous proposons de comprendre dans quelle mesure cette tendance peut être considérée comme inédite. Notre objectif sera donc de mettre en cause la notion « tournant documentaire » et de confronter l'usage du document chez les artistes modernes et contemporains.
