On the 6 and 7 June 2013, for the fifth consecutive year, Sapienza Università di Roma will be organising the International Conference “Dialogues between Theatre and Neuroscience”. The theme chosen for this year’s conference is the following: In what ways does interdisciplinary encounter change the disciplines involved? In what ways can the practices and studies of theatre change the research praxis of neuroscience? In what ways can the theories and paradigms of neuroscience modify the research praxis of theatre, in both its performative and academic cultures?

Spectacular metamorphosis and cultural anamorphosis

The issues of ornamentation in ephemeral festivities in the first Middle Ages

Fusionnant toutes les formes d’expression artistique afin de créer une expérience multi-sensorielle, le spectacle constitue un lieu privilégié pour appréhender la culture dont il émane et dont il met en exergue, voire parfois forge et transforme, les représentations et les imaginaires. Si la plupart des études consacrées aux festivités modernes se sont jusqu’ici surtout attachées à définir le message politique et / ou religieux de ce haut lieu symbolique, un aspect reste encore souvent ignoré de l’historiographie : le décor ornemental qui présente et encadre ce discours et qui est plus largement pensé et élaboré pour métamorphoser un lieu préexistant en un nouvel espace-temps. Ce colloque entend croiser ces deux champs de recherche à travers ses expressions tant plastiques que littéraires, à partir des documents iconographiques et des relations conservées de ces cérémonies.

Sports, physical activities and body cultures: Crisis, critique and change

RN 28 Society & Sports - Appel à Communication ESA 2013 (Turin)

The Esa Research Network 28 ‘Society and Sports’ aims at strengthening the visibility and legitimacy of the sociology of sport within the European sociological community. As such, the Esa conference in Turin 2013 will offer, besides the regular stand alone sessions, a broad range of joint sessions in which the sociologists of sport can discuss and exchange their knowledge with colleagues from different but overlapping sociological fields (such as health, gender, emotions, globalization, consumption, and many others).

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together scholars from different subject areas –historians, social anthropologists, political scientists and social movement scholars – to reflect in an interdisciplinary and comparative European perspective upon the influence of popular cultures and old repertoires of contention (rough music, mock trials, mock funerals, ride on donkeys, shaving, effigy burning or hanging, etc.) on modern protest.

States in Crisis

Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics – University of Milan 2013

The 2013 conference theme, "States in Crisis," is an opportunity to ask and answer a broad range of questions about the contemporary state, from its role in and reactions to economic and fiscal crises to the way in which its contours have or have not adapted and changed in concert with the modern economy to its place as a bulwark against or a catalyst for the construction of more market-driven societies. Within the well-established remit of SASE, participants are invited to submit theoretical and empirical contributions, at multiple levels of analysis from the local to the global, drawing from multi-disciplinary socio-economic frameworks.

The notion of soundscape: historiographical appraisal and perspectives for the study of ancient civilisations

La notion de « paysage sonore », forgée par le musicologue canadien R. Murray Schafer à la fin des années 1960 a connu un succès immédiat et constant, dépassant rapidement son champ disciplinaire initial. Anthropologues, ethnologues, historiens et sociologues ont usé de son apparente facilité de compréhension et de sa beauté synesthésique, au risque d’un écartèlement de la définition. Le dynamisme actuel des sensory studies a conduit à une multiplication des études historiques consacrées au paysage sonore en différents contextes, dans lesquelles le chercheur peine de plus en plus à cerner la signification exacte d’une notion plus que jamais faussement simple. Au milieu de ce foisonnement, il a donc paru important de consacrer la première étape du programme « Paysages sonores et espaces urbains de la Méditerranée ancienne » (ÉfR, ÉfA, Ifao) à un bilan méthodologique et historiographique. Le dialogue entre diverses disciplines et périodes de l’histoire permettra de poser des bases fermes pour la réflexion future sur les sonorités de la Méditerranée ancienne.

Melancholia-ae

The religious experience of the "disease of the soul" and its definitions in the early modern period: censorship, dissent and self-representation

The seminar aims at exploring the different meanings of the term "melancholy" in early modern religion, both Protestant and Catholic. One of its main purposes will be to enquire into, clarify, and emphasize both elements of continuity and what was specific to each of the diverse discourses on melancholy within the historical, socio-cultural, political, geographical and linguistic contexts that framed its production.
