Caging the sky: art, history and anthropology of aviaries
Deeply rooted in the long history of technology, architectural construction, and the domestication and acclimatisation of animal species by humans, aviaries are an interdisciplinary research subject offering multiple approaches for studying both past and present bonds, connecting societies to their environment, to explore the place of birds in the collective imaginary, but also to appreciate the originality of works or constructions that were conceived in order to represent, signify or house animal life. They make a spectacle of the flight of birds for the external observer and tend to celebrate the captivity of animals as a state of “semi-freedom”.

In/visible: representation, discourse, practices, “dispositifs”
Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference
How is the materiality of the visible world inscribed in its cultural representations? What are the more or less visible actors and mechanisms in the genesis of a cultural artefact? Should the visible / invisible binomial be considered as an anthropological constant or as the effect of a certain epistemological constellation? To what extent does visibility coincide with power and, therefore, how should one represent the in/visible? These are just some of the questions that cultural studies, in their innate interdisciplinarity and methodological heterogeneity can formulate with respect to the issue.

The Renewal of Buildings and Spaces as Urban Policy, from Antiquity to the Present
Everywhere in Rome, monuments are covered with ancient or modern inscriptions that not only contain the name of the original builder but also commemorate their restoration. Popes from the Quattrocento and Cinquecento who acted as urban planners, such as Sixtus IV, presented themselves as ‘restorers’, even when they were actually modernising the City. This phenomenon is not restricted to the Renaissance period: many Roman emperors already claimed to be rebuilders, such as Augustus who repaired all the damaged temples of Rome according to the Res Gestae, or Septimius Severus who was called Restitutor Vrbis on his coinage. Rome thus seems to be a city that constantly needs to be restored, rebuilt, born again. This conference aims to investigate how the notions of restoration and rebuilding were a driving force of Rome’s urban transformation throughout its history, from Antiquity to the 21st century, as well as a political program put forward by the authorities and an ideal more or less shared by the different key actors of the city.

The italian fascism through the prism of contemporary arts
Reinterpretations, montages, deconstructions
In a more or less explicit way, daily news bring to our attention the survival of forms and values which rely on fascist imagery. Thinking about fascism through the prism of contemporary arts means to deal with a term whose significance has to be read at least in a double sense: on one hand, the historical experience of the regime that ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943; on the other hand, by extension, the very form of totalitarian power. Contemporary arts’ gaze seems to work on these two different albeit related topics: the Italian fascism as historical event (faced with all the troubles of its memories), and the fascism as the fundamental process of power’s relationship and rituals.

Seminar - Ethnology, anthropology
Ethnomusicology and heritage - SEMEP 2016/2017

Le Séminaire en ethnomusicologie et patrimonialisation (SEMEP) souhaite renforcer les relations en ethnomusicologie et en anthropologie musicale entre la France et l’Italie, à travers des activités spécialement destinées aux étudiants du deuxième et troisième cycles. Ce « multi-séminaire » possède une vocation transfrontalière, interdisciplinaire et transculturelle. Il se veut un moment d’échanges entre experts de deux pays et d’approfondissement de thèmes au cœur du débat scientifique international contemporain. Après avoir examiné, l’année dernière, l’histoire et l’ethnomusicologie de la patrimonialisation musicale en Italie et en France, le sujet de cette seconde édition 2016-2017 du SEMEP est dédié à la patrimonialisation des objets sonores et des instruments de musique.

Seminar - Ethnology, anthropology
History, approaches and comparative methodologies in France and Italy
Si d’une part la patrimonialisation de « biens immatériels », dans les cas musicaux, visant principalement comme processus institutionnalisé d’identification, de collecte de données et de recherche, de mise en valeur, de transmission et de revitalisation d’un certain patrimoine à sauvegarder, est sans doute aujourd’hui un des principaux terrains de réflexion et d’action des ethnomusicologues et anthropologues de la musique, de l’autre cette thématique offre la possibilité d’étendre la réflexion également aux normes statutaire de la discipline.

Italian poetic improvisation through the optic of its variations
L’objectif de cette journée est d’instaurer un dialogue entre spécialistes français et italiens des joutes poétiques improvisées en Italie centrale et en Sardaigne. Il s’agira en particulier de réfléchir aux modalités de production et de différentiation d’une forme symbolique centrale de la culture traditionnelle orale, et de confronter différentes approches prenant en compte les relations complexes qui existent entre les caractéristiques métriques, musicales, pragmatiques et interactionnelles de ce genre poétique.

Heritage and digital humanities
This interdisciplinary and international conference aims at gathering and confronting two notions that are currently quite fashionable: heritage and digital humanities. Heritage, to be understood as goods shared by a community and founding its cultural identity, is to be taken in its widest meaning. Digital humanities offer methods, practices and numerical tools serving traditional research objects, but also new ones and leading to new theoretical and analytical approaches.We shall question the specific contribution of digital humanities to the development and dissemination of a given heritage. What can be the advantage of digital technologies with regards to more traditional approaches, whether it is museographical, ethnologic, literary, linguistic, etc.?

Industry in the Alps, between memory and the phenomena of heritagisation - 19th-20th centuries
The memory of work: Gazing from the inside
Au cœur de la journée d’étude se trouvent les processus de transmission de la mémoire de l’histoire du travail industriel élaborés « à l’intérieur », à savoir les acteurs directement impliqués dans le travail industriel. Plus particulièrement, cette rencontre souhaite vérifier et discuter de quelle manière et dans quelle mesure les changements économiques, technologiques et sociaux qui se sont succédés au cours du XXe siècle ont affecté ces dynamiques. Un regard particulier sera dédié aux processus de déindustrialisation dans ses diverses formes (restructuration des filières productives, déstructuration du tissu socio-économique local, tertiarisation de l’économie, phénomènes de délocalisation…) et à leur impact sur la mémoire industrielle. Elles offrent l’occasion d’analyser diverses questions, notamment : que reste-t-il du passé industriel dans les souvenirs des travailleurs et de la population qui en a vécu la quotidienneté ? Quels sont les éléments qu’un contexte industriel valorise dans une perspective identitaire ? Quels sont lesconnexions entre la mémoire et le territoire (lieux de la mémoire) ?
