Augustine, Augustinians and Augustinianisms in the Italian Trecento
Se l’importanza di Agostino per alcuni autori trecenteschi italiani è fatto auto-evidente, basti pensare a Francesco Petrarca che lo scelse come suo inquisitore e guida spirituale nel Secretum, la lunga durata di questa influenza nel corso del secolo è ancora in gran parte da esplorare, a partire dal caso più contestato, quello di Dante Alighieri. Parallelamente questo convegno s’interesserà al modo in cui l’attività dei membri dell’OESA ha plasmato la vita culturale peninsulare nel corso del secolo e contribuirà a rimettere in questione le categorie storiografiche di agostinismo e anti-agostinismo.

Conference, symposium - History
This interdisciplinary conference discusses the cultural role of European folding fans in art, fashion, and material culture in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Furthermore, it seeks to closer examine fans as gender-specific instruments of gesture and communication.

Teaching Gender. Theory and society in the classroom
Now more than ever, gender as an analytical concept is being heavily contested from diverse quarters inside as well as outside academia. The panel discussion addresses key questions of how to teach gender as critical theory in the light of current societal and political tensions on the one hand and institutional constraints inside the university on the other hand. How can we teach “critique”? What does teaching gender mean in terms of methods and topics? And how can we engage in critical research and teaching while responding to societal expectations as to relevant output and knowledge transfer?

Art collectives and collective art
Artistic creation - between individual interest and common good
Les collectifs d’artistes et les différentes formes d’art collectif mettent en question le « régime de singularité » qui caractérise l’art depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, fondé sur « l’individualité », « l’originalité » ou encore « l’unicité » d’un artiste. Si ce mythe n’est aujourd’hui plus à briser, s’intéresser aux formes collectives de création, c’est pouvoir plus directement interroger ce qui demeure, le plus souvent, une boîte noire de l’analyse sociologique : la production des esthétiques et des œuvres elles-mêmes, qui met en jeu des moments individuels et collectifs, avec des critères tout à la fois autonomes (artistiques) et hétéronomes (sociaux, gestionnaires, économiques, publics). Le Comité de recherche sociologie des arts et de la culture de la Société suisse de sociologie invite des propositions qui aborderaient cette thématique sur un plan théorique, méthodologique ou empirique mais, de préférence, à partir de terrains d’enquête.
