Museum libraries

Issues and recent trends

Issue 45 of the Cahiers de Mariemont will focus on the museum library as a specific department directly dependent on a museum institution. The few studies devoted to museum libraries show that researchers, museologists and bibliographers have so far shown little interest in this issue. However, museum libraries, like the museums to which they belong, are today affected by the changes that have led to a “market” organisation of the cultural institutions. In this model, attendance rate has become a crucial evaluation criterion. This change of paradigm is pushing professionals in the sector to rethink the orientations and missions of museum libraries. It is with this in mind that we propose to analyse the issues and characterise the most recent trends in the sector. The focus will not be limited to an examination of the situation in the French-speaking world as there is much to be learned from a more global analysis, integrating the libraries of museum institutions throughout the world.

The Author and “his” Translator: the Genealogy of an Asymmetric Relationship

The international conference The Author and “his” Translator intends to offer researchers from all fields of humanities and social sciences an opportunity to question the functioning of contemporary cultural field from the point of view of the place that translators are bound to occupy within it. In order to allow for an in-depth examination of this subject, the programme of this scientific event will include various forms of work: in addition to individual papers and thematic panels proposed by several researchers, the conference will comprise a series of talks with a writer and his/her translator, round tables with publishers and directors of foreign literature collections, workshops devoted to the key points of the conference.

Narrating the North in Contemporary Cultures

Telling stories is inherent to the human beings, they are homo narrans (Fisher, 1984), and thus the storytelling activity participates in the structuring of his imagination. The act of telling therefore makes the apprehension of the surrounding world and of the unknown phenomena possible. While the North often represents an idealized space, it is also a geographical, cultural and historical reality where various influences converge, articulated within narrative practices. The question we wish to address during this conference is that of the specific narrative characteristics of the Nordic space in the modern and contemporary periods, vectors of a multiplication of media supports and discourses. That is to say, the reciprocal influence of a narrative genre or a medium and the images of Nordic places.

Muḥammad b. Yūsuf al-Sanūsī, between Islamic Studies and the Social Sciences

Dans le sillage des travaux de Sabrina Mervin, ce colloque international aborde la vie et l’œuvre d’al-Sanūsī à travers des approches croisées, entre l’islamologie et les sciences sociales. Ainsi, si la doctrine et l’œuvre du théologien seront évidemment abordées, les aspects anthropologiques de la transmission et la traduction de ses traités en contexte africain ou asiatique seront également mis en avant. Enfin, l’émergence récente d’un enseignement des ʿAqāʾid dans les mosquées et instituts en ligne en contexte européen et anglo-saxon doit susciter l’attention des sociologues, à l’heure du retour d’un traditionalisme « maḏhabique ».

Call for papers - History

While the Paris Olympic and Paralympic games are set to begin in 2024, this international conference wishes to interrogate the history and practice of dance competitions, in connection to competitive sports events. If much has been written on competing, especially in an Olympic setting, dance has received less critical attention when it comes to its physical, artistic and social dimensions.

Résilience, re-production littéraire et psychanalyse, l’écriture maniaque ?

From a psychoanalytical point of view, at least from the French perspective, the notion of resilience experiences contrasting fates between its media success on the one hand and the precautions taken by academics for its use on the other. It is open to interpretation, as the spectrum of meanings of this notion is so wide. Indeed, resilience can refer to the idealization of the narcissistic rebound, to the exaltation of the memorial scar, as well as to the after-effects of the - passive - work of mourning. In this session, we propose to discuss the epistemological and even ethical conditions of use of the notion of resilience, through the act of writing - of French literary works of the 20th century - as a symbolic attempt to elaborate the conflict between the depressive position and mania defenses.

Dining at the Castle in Europe, from Past to Present

Beyond a better understanding of what made the refinement and the magnificence of the royal and princely tables in Europe in the past, we will examine the question of the safeguard, the transmission and the promotion of the European cultural heritage of dinner at the castle. It is both the heritage of a social practice featuring the economic or political power of European elites as well as a ritual and a ceremonial of a bygone era. Dining at the castle also corresponds to a contemporary diplomatic practice (such as the State dinners at the Château de Versailles), to a cultural and festive gastronomic experience associated with tourist practices, or even to a literary theme or an artistic and cinematographic motif which builds its imagination in European culture.

The Sources of Madness

“Sources. Materials Fieldwork in African Studies” - Special issue

This special issue on the sources of madness in Africa—on the continent and in the diasporas—takes place within the framework of the recent epistemological renewal of studies related to mental disorders on the African continent. Its starting point is that investigations by researchers on the nature and the diversity of sources in this field are scattered and partial. These sources can be from archives (colonial, institutional, medical, personal archives), printed material (press, books, photographs) or ethnographic studies (oral surveys, participative observation, field notes). Through these different corpuses, the positioning of the researcher vis-à-vis lives that are often fragile and precarious emerges as an issue to be explored. By looking at the sources available for studying madness, researchers are faced with a series of ethical questions which will run through all the contributions in this special issue.

Edmund Husserl’s Origin of Geometry and its legacy

Made famous by the publication of Jacques Derrida’s Introduction, which was the first and only translation into French, the third appendix to The Crisis of the European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology, better known as The Origin of Geometry, constitutes a crucial moment for understanding Edmund Husserl’s thought and legacy. Originally an untitled manuscript from 1936, the few pages that make up The Origin of Geometry were first published in 1939 in the Revue international de philosophie thanks to Eugen Fink, before being included in the first edition of the sixth volume of the Husserliana series in 1954. However, this text has progressively acquired a considerable influence mainly in the French-speaking world during the last seventy years, giving rise to a proliferation of remarkable interpretations, which have not ceased to influence philosophers, anthropologists and scientists who engage with them, thus paving the way to a conceptual fecundity on which we intend to concentrate.

The court escapes the city.The countryside as political asset from the Middle Ages to the early modern period

The idea of heading off to the countryside is associated nowadays with a wish to get away from a stressful, noisy, and at times oppressive and foul-smelling urban environment, to rest in peace and quiet, in healthy surroundings, in close contact with the bounties of the natural world and animals in their “natural” habitat. Far from any anachronistic intent, applying this expression to court studies is a call to scholars to adopt interdisciplinary approaches to examine the many ways in which aristocratic circles related to and interacted with their rural environment.

Shaping Africa’s Future

The primary objective of the international and interdisciplinary conference consists in scrutinizing the multilayered issue of Africa in the making. It demonstrates an intellectual alignment that scholars and academics from diverse affiliations have persistently endorsed: the African continent incorporates the genes of replenishment for, it has a boundless prospective for economic, cultural and political regeneration. The African resumption conception is a long-standing notion. In Gargantua, the narrator uses a proverb quoted by Erasmus in the axiom 2610 which quintessence is borrowed from Pliny the Elder and Aristotle: Ex semper Africa aliquid novi. Encumbered with negative values (Afro-pessimism), positive tenets (Afro-optimism) or beheld according to the procedures of stringent scientific judiciousness, Africa is a continent that counts. As such, it has the status of a fatality engraved at the core of the tragedy of History, as the ideologists of Negritude have already assumed.

What architecture does to ecology

All over the world, the fight against global warming, the management of resource scarcity, and the preservation of biodiversity increasingly determine the design and construction of buildings and urbanized spaces. This symposium aims to wonder about the possible retroaction effects: if ecology undoubtedly changes architecture, to what extent does architecture also change ecology?

Between communication and participation

Usages du « transmedia storytelling » en aménagement et urbanisme

Ce colloque s'intéresse au croisement de la communication et de la participation, aux usages du transmedia storytelling en urbanisme. La recherche en études urbaines s’est largement intéressée à la manière dont l’exercice de l’urbanisme, tant du point de vue de la planification que du projet, s’apparentait aux pratiques narratives. De plus en plus régulièrement, la planification et le projet urbain recourent au récit pour communiquer leurs intentions. Or le récit ne mobilise pas qu’un seul support. Il est traduit en différents médias. Notre hypothèse est que cette traduction vise l’implication du public dans l’élaboration de récits parallèles. Ce sont les interactions entre un « système médiatique », une diversité de « plateformes », une hétérogénéité des « publics » et une multiplicité des « modes d’engagement » qui doivent être analysées.

The Hanse and the Atlantic 1300–1500 actors, trade, and conflicts

The merchants of the German Hanse – a commercial association active from the middle of the 14th century – are mentioned at the end of the Middle Ages all around the North and Baltic Seas, where they dominated trade for a long time. However, although the presence and activity of the Hanse in the Atlantic area is well documented, it remains little studied in historiography. In the case of France, the lack of scientific cooperation with Germany at the end of the 19th century, when major German publishing programmes resulted in the publication of the main editions of Hanse sources, led to a serious lack of representation of French archives in these collections, which are still used assiduously by German researchers.

Institutional photographic practices in the production, management and uses of public spaces (19th-21st century)

Au croisement de deux principes de visibilité de l’action de ces institutions, dans l’espace et sous forme d’images, on s’intéressera aux corpus iconographiques et aux pratiques visuelles qui sont liés aux activités d’institutions qui construisent, gèrent ou utilisent des bâtiments. Centrer l’étude sur les institutions dans le temps long de leurs activités et la diversité de leurs missions permettra d’élargir la focale par rapport à la commande architecturale, en la recontextualisant plus largement et en s’intéressant aussi aux usages et à leurs temporalités complexes. L’attention portée aux institutions (par contraste avec les agences d’architecture par exemple) permettra soit de se focaliser de manière diachronique sur un maillon du système institutionnel allant de la construction à la gestion des bâtiments, soit d’observer de manière synchronique une continuité d’action.
