Scandal in Italian Society (1350-1530): norms, transgressions, and representations
Cahiers d’études italiennes
This thematic issue of Cahiers d’études italiennes aims to examine both the polysemy and social functions of scandal in Italy in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance (1350-1530), combining approaches from history, literature, art history, political philosophy, and law. Contributions will focus primarily on Italian society, but contributions addressing cases of scandal related to Italy or Italian personalities are also welcome.

Rereading, (re)emergence, appropriation: What is to be done with the art of the past?
The writings of art historians, like the works of art themselves, are a place of emergence, return, and incessant reinterpretation. This dialogue between periods at the heart of both artistic creation and the narrative of our discipline will be the subject of the 2026 edition of the Ecole de Printemps. Proposals for papers could present case studies, where a work or body of work quotes, repeats, adopts, or readapts earlier images, objects, or monuments. They might analyse historiographical reinterpretations by considering them as transhistorical interventions and reappropriations – whether textual, visual or museum-based.

Au cours de l’histoire, la figure de saint François d’Assise a connu en France des fortunes diverses. Au XIIIᵉ siècle, lors de la querelle entre réguliers et séculiers, les frères mineurs surent s’imposer dans les universités et occupèrent d’importantes chaires de théologie à la Faculté de Paris. Si saint François est, en Italie, à l’origine d’une nouvelle langue poétique et d’un nouveau langage figuratif, quel est son héritage linguistique et poétique, mais aussi spirituel et philosophique, en France ?

Pendant et après la conquête : gouverner la pluralité
Durante e dopo la conquista: governare la pluralità
Après avoir considéré les modalités et raisons multiples et croisées des mouvements de départ et des conditions d’implantation des conquérants au sein des « Mondes normands médiévaux », les journées d’études accueillies à l’Université de Calabre (Rende-Cosenza) veulent considérer ce qui est une réalité variable, mais constante des mouvements de conquête suivies de construction politique dans les mondes normands médiévaux : le gouvernement de la pluralité (et de l’altérité) par les conquérants, leur entourage et leurs inévitables auxiliaires locaux.

Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
« Vies parallèles » des Classiques et des Pères latins au Moyen Âge – 2
Le colloque « Vies parallèles » des Classiques et des Pères latins au Moyen Âge, dont le premier volet a eu lieu en début d'année 2024 au Campus Condorcet, se poursuivra avec une seconde rencontre à Milan du mercredi 19 au vendredi 21 juin 2024. Son objectif est de faire dialoguer entre eux deux domaines d’étude qui, quoique très proches, ont tendance à être traités séparément et hermétiquement dans la bibliographie : la transmission et la réception des textes classiques et celles des textes patristiques.

Land Use and Consumption in a Historical Perspective
Definitions, Concepts, and Methods
The relationship between societies and soil is intrinsic to human history. Nowadays, this relationship is strongly defined by land use and consumption practices that, at different scales, increasingly threaten the common good and the biodiversity conservation. Urban planning interventions and intensive forms of production lead to the fragmentation, erosion, and ultimately, transformation of soil into a commodity, a freely usable “raw material,” rather than recognizing it as a non-reproducible good. In such a context, a revision of the evolution of concepts of use, consumption, and artificialization of the soil can contribute to a better understanding of the perspectives and rhetoric developed over time and in relation to contemporary challenges.

In the wake of Madeline Caviness's seminal article, what assessment can be made of the fertile links between the Middle Ages and feminism? In its wake, the next issue of Perspectives médiévales invites us to take a fresh look at the reciprocal contributions of medievalism and feminism, as part of an epistemological and historical reflection on the Middle Ages and the present. The aim of this issue is to explore contemporary feminisms by exploring the Middle Ages and their representations. In other words, in what way is the Middle Ages an object of investigation both for feminist thought and by feminist thought?

Conference, symposium - Europe
Da San Genuario all'Europa. Monasteri e acqua, monasteri in terre d'Acqua
From San Genuario to Europe : monasteries and water, monasteries in wetlands
The conference will examine the central role of water in the life of cenobitic centres, through general overviews across vast areas of the Continent and individual case studies, in a discourse on the longue durée, which, from the most ancient Early Medieval experiences to the development of the monastic Orders, testifies to the many and complex facets of the relationship between monasteries and water still present in the European landscape.

The European space. Geo-economic balances and State powers in the long run
In the construction of the European space(s) a crucial role has been played by economic actors and relations, which often overpass national borders and intertwin with the nature and roles of political powers and national States. Even well before the last globalization (or re-globalization), traditional government systems were pressed by the internationalization of economies: by centrifugal pushes, the need for external resources, or the emergence of new actors on the international stage in economic, technical, and social fields, that have increasingly influenced both the private and the public life. In more recent times, then, a new institutional framework developed at the supranational, European, level getting new functions and involving actors, such as trade unions, charities, business interests, scientific institutions, and churches, reinforcing the dynamics of cooperation, integration, and convergence beyond national borders.

Legitimate consumption in medieval cities (12th-16th centuries)
Ce colloque a pour but d’interroger la notion de consommation légitime dans les cités médiévales entre le XIIe et le XVIe siècle. Qu’est-ce que la, ou plutôt les bonnes consommations ? Qui est légitime à dire la frontière entre l’indispensable et le superflu ? Pourquoi cette capacité à dire la norme devient-elle de plus en plus cruciale dans des mondes urbains en mutation rapide ? Le colloque sera particulièrement attentif à mener une approche comparatiste entre les différents espaces de l’Occident médiéval (Italie, péninsule ibérique, France, Angleterre, Pays-Bas, Empire...).

Good and evil in the Germanic Middle Ages
1st PhD Conference Associazione Italiana di Filologia Germanica (AIFG)
The concepts of good and evil are expressed, from a lexical point of view, in different ways in different Germanic languages and at the same time they are declined in different forms depending on linguistic and literary traditions. The theme takes into account texts of different types: religiouos, legal, medical and so on. Starting from these assumptions, we encourage prospective participants to submit proposals which deal with the theme from a literary, philological, linguistic and/or historical perspective. The call is open to PhD students and PhDs in Germanic Philology and Linguistics.

Transcrire l’oralité politique dans l’Italie communale (XIIe-début du XVe siècle)
La prise de parole en assemblée caractérise la vie politique et institutionnelle de l’Italie communale. Pour autant, notamment en raison du manque de discours conservés, les travaux consacrés à la transcription de l’oralité politique et à la diversité de ses expressions (au-delà de l’assemblée) sont encore rares. Cette journée d’étude, qui se tiendra à Rome le 28 avril 2022, est envisagée comme un atelier d’échange permettant la mise en commun de travaux réalisés ou en cours sur cette thématique. Elle a pour but d’engager des chercheurs et chercheuses aux approches méthodologiques distinctes dans une lecture collective de la spécificité des sources écrites transmettant une oralité politisée. L’objectif est de dégager des grilles d’analyse conjointes, des problématisations transversales et de nourrir une réflexion commune sur les apports et les limites d’une histoire du monde communal fondée sur ces documents.
