Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment
International Medieval Congress
Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.

Si, depuis longtemps, les spécialistes d’histoire des sciences physico-mathématiques ont intégré l’analyse des erreurs à leurs recherches, une telle approche n’existe guère en historiographie. Il semble pourtant qu’une telle démarche est susceptible d’offrir de nouvelles perspectives pour la compréhension du fonctionnement du champ de la recherche historique. Une partie du dossier sera consacrée à une erreur historiographique paradigmatique, celle d’Olga Wormser-Migot en 1968 sur l’existence des chambres à gaz homicides dans les camps de Mauthausen et Ravensbrück. Néanmoins, des contributions sur d’autres erreurs dans l’historiographie des grands conflits contemporains, de la répression et des massacres de masse au XXe siècle sont également attendues. De même, des contributions qui porteraient sur la question des « erreurs » dans d’autres champs disciplinaires pourraient utilement compléter le dossier dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire.
