Democratic Highbrow. Bloomsbury between élite and mass culture
Democratic Highbrow. Bloomsbury tra élite e cultura di massa
Bloomsbury group represented a new way of living and working which marked a definitive break with the Victorian tradition and paved the way to modernity in the English culture. Between the wars the group was perceived by the British public alternatively as a stronghold of culture and civilization against barbarism and as the despicable epitome of modernist intellectual elitism. Nowadays Bloomsbury is a major presence in the cultural industry but, at the same time, it continues to raise questions and stimulate critical reflections: was it a coterie or a democratic avant-garde, an intellectual authority or an eccentric circle that “lived in squares and loved in triangles?” These are the issues that the conference seeks to address in a multidisciplinary perspective encompassing sociology of cultural processes and history of art, economics and history of ideas, literature and cultural history.

Via Aurelia and the topography of the Latium and Tuscany coastline
For the last decades, the studies carried out along the Italian coasts have been a favoured field of research, concerning some specific aspects of the antique and mediaeval society, its links with the sea, and with other men beyond the sea. Within that context, the coasts of Lazio and Tuscany reveal themselves to be particularly interesting: they are the witnesses of a wealthy business network, along the coast lines, centred on the via Aurelia, and the numerous harbours and mooring areas, used since ancient days. This colloquium is dedicated to reopening a debate among experts, thanks to the contributions of various research approaches, and with a particular attention to the Tuscia area.

Language, diffusion and scientific production in the context of globalization
A question for geographies and geographers
The CNFG (French National Committee for Geographers) in collaboration with IGUorganizes a two-day forum to discuss the relationship between languages, social contexts ofscientific production, and the overtly admitted language of scientific exchange, that is,English. It invites all French-speaking geographers, from different “national” and “linguistic”contexts, but also all geographers and geographies interested in sharing their views andexperience on the diffusion and production of knowledge in the global context.

Renovatio, inventio, absentia imperii
From the Roman Empire to Contemporary Imperialism
At the heart of the present conference will be the ‘reception’, ‘Nachleben’ or ‘permanence’ of the Roman Empire, of an idea and a historical paradigm which since Classical Antiquity has supported the most widespread claims to obtain and consolidate power. The focus will be on ‘culture’, this latter concept intended in a broad sense, i.e. including not only the arts, architecture, literature etc., but also philosophy, religion and, most importantly, discourse. As such, a wide array of themes will be subjected to academic scrutiny. Whereas the main focus will be on Europe and North America, this conference will also reach out towards non-Western contexts, whether or not directly related to the Roman example.

Economics and politics according to Ferdinando Galiani
Ferdinando Galiani n’a pas bénéficié de colloque totalement consacré à ses écrits économiques et politiques. Ses écrits littéraires et sa correspondance, ont été à plusieurs reprises, examinés, largement traités et publiés. Ce colloque a en vue de mobiliser des compétences différentes, soit économiques, soit historiques, dans la perspective d'une collaboration interdisciplinaire. Il s’agit d'un côté de tenter une reconstruction aussi complète que possible de l’analyse économique de Ferdinando Galiani, à travers ses deux ouvrages principaux : Della Moneta et Dialogues sur le commerce des blés. La question posée et peu traitée est celle de la relation entre ces deux ouvrages. Il s’agit aussi de mobiliser dans les archives, ses rapports sur les questions de commerce et de manufacture, de droits de douanes et de taxes, tous les textes que Galiani a pu produire en qualité de secrétaire d’ambassade ou en qualité d’expert et de membre du conseil du commerce du royaume de Naples. Ceci dans un contexte où l’agriculture représentait une question centrale pour le développement économique et où la concurrence internationale extrêmement agressive représentait un vrai problème pour l’État.

Italians in the Congo and Italians from the Congo
Images, writing, works of a global Italy (from 19th to the present day)
Le colloque international qui se déroulera à Metz (France) du 16 au 18 octobre 2014 aura pour but de procéder à l'inventaire et à l'analyse des œuvres littéraires et cinématographiques évoquant le Congo - ou plus généralement l'Afrique centrale -, réalisées par des auteurs italiens, à partir du XIXe siècle jusqu'à la fin des années 80. L'interférence entre productions culturelles et mouvances idéologiques, ainsi que la représentation, endogène ou exogène, de l'Italie au cours de la période sélectionnée, constituent les autres axes de recherche prioritairement définis. Parallèlement aux réflexions en cours consacrées à une Italie glocale, cette rencontre scientifique aura ainsi pour vocation d'interroger l'évolution de la relation Italie / Congo, considérée comme un prisme à travers lequel il est possible d'entrevoir plus largement les rapports entre le Belpaese et le monde extérieur.

VIth Mediterranean Congress of Aesthetics
Facts and Values in Aesthetics: Contemporary Stakes and Approaches
In a text entitled The Collapse of the Fact/Value Dichotomy and Other Essays (2004), Hilary Putnam argues convincingly against a classic opposition which does not serve philosophical reflection positively. Putnam’s analysis mostly focuses on the theory and practice of knowledge, but one can legitimately extend it to other fields, starting with that of aesthetics, which sooner or later is confronted with the question of whether one defends or rejects the dichotomy. Keeping or rejecting it implies reasons to do so, but often these reasons remain implicit, most especially in aesthetics.

Great officers in the Angers region
Questo primo convegno del progetto Europange, che si occupa dello studio e dell’informatizzazione degli ufficiali angioini, si propone di tornare su un tema chiave nello studio degli ufficiali angioini, che tuttavia ha ricevuto un’attenzione limitata in tempi recenti: i grandi ufficiali del Regno o gli ufficiali sovralocali. Mentre per alcune aree come la Provenza (i siniscalchi) si può disporre di studi aggiornati o comunque di un quadro complessivo dei meccanismi di funzionamento, per altre, come la Toscana o la Morea, si sa davvero pochissimo. Si tratta dunque di indagare in chiave comparativa una fondamentale cinghia di trasmissione tra il sovrano e gli ufficiali locali per il governo dei territori inclusi nello spazio angioino, attraverso cui si possono cogliere le diversità, ma eventualmente anche le analogie o addirittura i modelli nelle differenti aree della presenza angioina.

Or how is work transformed through and in entertainment and entertainment is re-qualified as work
Le colloque propose de questionner ce que le travail fait au divertissement et ce que le divertissement fait au travail ou, plus précisément, de s’arrêter sur la production contemporaine de formes hybrides entre travail et divertissement, et plus généralement travail et loisir (serious games, usages des réseaux sociaux au travail, Fab labs, médiations du travail des amateurs, etc.). Il s’agit ainsi d’étudier : comment le travail se transforme par et dans le divertissement, et comment le divertissement est qualifié en travail.

Dynamics of repopulation in mountain areas: new highlanders
Observing the recent situation of demographic trends in the Alps, it is possible to put in evidence an interesting turnround in some alpine territories, especially alpine marginal areas. This situation invests not only the Alps but in general the European mountain territories, where the effects of this turnround become evident: from requalification of old villages and the creation of technologic buildings, to implementation of different forms of tourism (green tourism, soft tourism), from experimentation of new services (through ICT solutions), to implementation of sustainable mobility policies and finally to creation of green entrepreneurial activities.

Identity ideologies, nationalisms, conflicts: Europe 1870-1922
The fifty years that go from the Franco-Prussian War to the end of the Great War and the advent of fascism in Italy (early and precursor totalitarian swing in post-war Europe) marks a new phase in representing the ideology of the ‘nation’ and the ‘nature of peoples’. The cultural processes which, between 18th and 19th centuries, had been used as consistent ideological repertoire for the political foundation of modern European nations, supported from the second half of the 19th century, the rapid nationalistic involution of national politics, functional to colonial expansionism and to the ruling continental objectives, but also to withstand and repress internal social conflicts. A cultural and political transition from romantic patriotism to imperialistic nationalism (that which Muarizio Virali has concisely defined “nationalization of patriotism”), for which those that had generally been considered simple differences of character, customs, and social habits between the peoples of nations are transformed into irreconcilable contrasts: the national state is the emanation of a homogeneous people, of a race, and the unshakeable otherness of the foreigner reflects and consolidates this belief. Making use of the instruments provided by disciplines such as socio-psychology, social anthropology, biology, social Darwinism, and with the approximate simplifications of those like Gobineau, Chamberlain, Nordau, Langbehn etc., it is believed that the character of peoples may be defined and thus mark national identities within an all absorbing viewpoint.
