Exploring ancient pharmacology: drugs, words, and practices
Our conference aims to investigate those aspects of the history of ancient and late-antique pharmacology that remain unexplored, not only by examining the substances used for healing but also by exploring the linguistic, cultural, and material contexts in which ancient remedies were acquired, prepared and administered.

Conservation-restoration of embroidered textiles from the Renaissane to the 19th century
Technè, n°60, 2025-2
The study of embroidered textiles presents several points of interest: research may focus on the embroidery itself (materials, techniques, patterns), its supporting medium (nature, composition of materials, type of weaving), as well as the relationships between these two fields. We aim to identify topics of discussion by juxtaposing ancient texts with materials analysis; to present examples of the conservation of embroidered textiles with an emphasis on the choice of technical protocols; and to consider the difficult problem of exhibiting these rare and precious textiles.

Call for papers - Science studies
The aim of this call is to draw attention to two specific issues of historical, literary, and philosophical research. On the one hand, the objective is to explore how Galileo considered and used literature; on the other, to observe how past and current writers and intellectuals have tested and enriched their knowledge with Galileo’s teachings.

Actors, practices and the circulation of scientific knowledge in Colonial Italy
Farestoria. Società e storia pubblica. Istituto storico della Resistenza e dell’età contemporanea di Pistoia
Over the past forty years, the relationship between science and colonial empires has been increasingly debated in the historical field. Following the perspectives opened up by international historiography, this issue of Farestoria aims to reflect on the processes of construction of scientific practices in the context of Italian colonial expansion. It intends to examine the construction of medical and scientific knowledge within a widened landscape, that of the circulation and reformulation of conceptions, practices and scientific objects between colonial and metropolitan spaces and across imperial borders. The issue will also give priority to reflection that considers longer-term perspectives, paying attention to the processes of formation and structuring of knowledge, practices and devices across liberal, fascist and post-war republican Italy.

« Le Forme dell'acqua » dans la « Divine Comédie »
Symposium franco-italien à l'occasion du sept centième anniversaire de la mort de Dante Alighieri
À l’occasion du sept centième anniversaire de la mort de Dante (14 septembre 2021), l’académie française de l’eau, l’institut culturel italien et l’Ambassade d’Italie proposent un après-midi d’échanges franco-italiens consacré à la représentation que Dante fait des fleuves et de l’eau dans toute ses formes, symboles et significations. Une nouvelle lecture « éco-critique » de la littérature dantesque est aujourd’hui possible, afin de restituer la richesse des métaphores aquatiques dans leurs rapports avec l’environnement.

Images re-vues
Ce numéro d’Images re-vues vise à interroger les figurations multiples du sentir.

Les contributions proposées s’inscriront dans le prolongement de recherches interdisciplinaires menées sur l’expérience sensible au cours des dernières décennies.

Italian National science and its transnational building (1839-1920s)
Call for articles in the Mélanges de l’École française de Rome – Italie et Méditerranée
Le renouveau qu’a connu l’histoire des sciences en Italie et l’intérêt particulier qui a été porté à leurs interactions avec le politique ont permis de réintégrer la science à l’histoire de la construction nationale italienne au cours du XIXe siècle. Le dossier des Mélanges de l'École française de Rome Italie-Méditerranée a vocation à poursuivre ce mouvement en s’interrogeant sur les dynamiques transnationales à l’œuvre dans la construction d’une « science nationale ». En quoi la circulation de savants italiens à l’étranger, d’étrangers en Italie, de savoirs sur la nature, sur l’Italie ou sur l’étranger ont-ils contribué à faire émerger et à construire une science italienne ? Dans un pays en cours d’unification politique et en quête de reconnaissance internationale, la science est en élément fondamental de l’image que l’Italie a d’elle-même et qu’elle projette à l’étranger. Le projet entend donc éclairer le rôle des circulations transnationales – de savants, d’étudiants, de livres, d’idées – dans la construction nationale italienne.

Conference, symposium - Prehistory and Antiquity
Memoria scientiae 2015
According to ancient biological theories, nutrition is, along with reproduction, one of the functions of the soul shared by men, animals and plants. At the same time, however, eating habits are among the starting points on which differences between humans, animals and plants are culturally built. This means that a transversal biological praxis can be used as an anthropological device, in order to to fix and identify specific boundaries and thresholds, either symbolic or theoretical, between both animality and vegetality on the one hand, and zoosphere and anthroposphere on the other hand.

Theories, attitudes and cultural representations of nutrition in ancient and medieval world
