Splendor. Sumptuary Arts in the Hispanic Middle Ages
Le département d’histoire de l’art I (médiéval) de l’université Complutense à Madrid organise la septième édition de son séminaire international sur l'art du Moyen Âge. Ces septièmes journées mettront l’accent sur les arts somptuaires du Moyen Âge hispanique en considérant plusieurs perspectives : le rôle des productions somptuaires dans la culture médiévale et leur contribution à l’imaginaire symbolique ; l’usage des objets dans le rituel et dans l’expression du pouvoir ; la valeur des matériaux et de la diversité technique dans la création artistique ; la circulation des œuvres et le phénomène du collectionnisme ; la contribution de muséologie à la mise en valeur des objets dans des nouveaux cadres d’exposition et à la création de nouveaux discours.

First International Symposium on Primitivism
The First International Symposium on Primitivism aims to shed new light on a debate that has been given little attention in the field of Humanities, and which focuses on the relationship between Art and the Primitive. The disciplinary foundation of these studies is in History and Art Theory. However, it is also necessarily interdisciplinary, to the extent that we are interested in understanding the aesthetic phenomena that constitute Western art, not only from the perspective of an artistic history, but also – and especially – from its imbrications with aesthetics, culture, society, and politics.

The problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology
Antropológicas Journal
The journal Antropológicas is accepting proposals for publication in its next issue that will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology. Manuscripts should be submitted to the page http://revistas.rcaap.pt/antropologicas/login by the 28th of February of 2013. Antropológicas’ number 13th will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology, because since the academic statement of its field of knowledge, ethnographic practice and anthropological writing had many debates, both for the originality of the methodology and the scientific accuracy required by their professionals. Among social sciences, anthropology was the one where theoretical discussion about its rationale demanded a greater critical capacity, by placing into question its methodological grounds.

Staging posts and stopovers in Latin America: five centuries of stopovers
Pour une histoire des haltes et des rituels de l'étape en Amérique latine : lieux de vie ou non-lieux ? Comment les voyageurs hispano-américains ou européens, marchands, missionnaires ou soldats, femmes ou hommes, indiens ou créoles faisaient-ils étape sur le continent américain ? La topographie des lieux d’arrêts, l’économie qui leur a été associée, ont évolué avec la modernisation des moyens de transport, l’arrivée du chemin de fer et l’essor de la navigation à vapeur d’un côté et de l’autre du continent américain. Ces territoires du quotidien, à l’opposé de l’apparat des lieux de pouvoir, est-il possible de construire leur histoire parallèlement à l’histoire des moyens de transport et des voies de communication ? -

Sociétés journal devotes its next issue to the subject of “the ruin”. This issue aims to revisit and extend the notion of ruin considering its spatial, social, architectural, and urban imaginary. A Ruin is a representation and a pictorial resource of the landscape, is a metaphysical way of thought, a purpose and a primitive view. In this sense, memory, architecture and symbol, life and death, decay and rebirth, time and duration, rust and bones, the eternal communication, previous utopia and inner experience, the decomposition and recomposition, ecosophy and economics of conflict, obsolescence and "affordance", are some of the subjects that derive from ruin as status quo: an 'imaginal' foundation of the romanticism and a sensitivity of our contemporaneous world.
