Summer School - Representation

Islamic heritage in Europe

Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest among scholars in analysing how the Islamic heritage in Europe has been perceived, described, preserved, erased, negotiated or transformed in different areas of Europe, from medieval to modern times. However, those debates seldom crossed the borders of regional approaches. The aim of this training school is to discuss those issues from different and complementary perspectives, including art history, but also philosophy, history of science or anthropology, and to question the traditional regional narrative through a comparative examination of Islamic monuments in a wider Mediterranean perspective.

Body, culture and identity in Lavapies, Madrid

From the individual to the collective

The objective of this Seminar is to stress the importance of a collaborative and participative way to understand through our senses. We want to explore connections between thinking and action in everyday city experiences, developing “in situ” actions. We consider that the knowledge of the space need space experiences. We aim to develop a collective, community exploration of the vital flow of the Lavapiés area in Madrid altering the classical relationship between artist, landscape and inhabitants. This exploration will allow the construction of an intangible map of audiovisual fragments, photo, phonographs, video art, performative actions. The direct experimentation of space helps us understand it, as well as "to perform it"; it helps us understand the aesthetic and emotional relationships we have with it. In order to get our objectives, urban artists, soundscape experts, theater groups, architects, philosopher, civil and social associations, citizens…will be invited.

Migravit a seculo. Muerte y poder de príncipes en la Europa Medieval

El objetivo del coloquio es el análisis de la muerte como instrumento de poder por parte de las élites (los “príncipes”) medievales, desde los miembros de la realeza o la jerarquía eclesiástica hasta la aristocracia militar o el patriciado urbano. Dado el carácter multidisciplinar escogido, el acercamiento que ofrezcan los ponentes pueden ser de muy diverso tipo, y por tanto también los enfoques de acercamiento; desde perspectivas generales hasta casos particulares, que permitan la comparación en el tiempo y el espacio, pero también establecer la necesaria interrelación desde los diferentes campos de análisis. Por la misma razón, el elenco de ponentes contempla, junto a los miembros del equipo de investigación de MIGRAVIT-SEPULTUS que organiza el coloquio, la presencia de otras relevantes figuras del panorama científico europeo en sus respectivos campos, desde la historia general a la historia del arte, la musicología o la biología, para poder poner en común con ellos los resultados más relevantes de las investigaciones realizadas a lo largo de los tres último años.

Rethinking the Canon: Models, Categories and Prestige in Spanish Mediaeval Art

Y, no menos importante, ¿de qué modo podemos conocer el aprecio y el prestigio de que gozaron las obras en el momento en que fueron creadas?

The Prince and the Church in Renaissance Europe

Princely Acts as Sources for Ecclesiastical History

Religious history of the Renaissance has, without a doubt, been one of the fields of predilection of historians in recent decades. Various sources have been used to develop the field (registers/proceedings of ecclesiastical institutions, of tribunals and of urban institutions; notarial registers; correspondences of princes and of their representatives, those of cities, of bourgeois and of theologians, diaries and memoirs of contemporaries; theological treaties; etc.).

Regionalism, ruptures and architectural innovation

La question de l’architecture contemporaine, d’autant plus dans les régions à forte identité comme le Pays basque, soulève un débat intemporel qui interroge les historiens de l’architecture depuis plusieurs décennies et aux quatre coins du monde. Il semble communément admis que l’architecture régionaliste, basque ou autre, implique un paradoxe apparemment insoluble opposant les ambassadeurs de la modernité et du progrès aux tenants de la tradition et de l’identité, comme si les uns et les autres étaient fondamentalement antinomiques et absolument incompatibles. Or, cette analyse réductrice correspond à une interprétation empreinte des clichés du modernisme et du traditionalisme qui ne reflète pas la réalité où, plutôt qu’elles ne s’affrontent, coexistent et parfois se confondent divers partis esthétiques et influences géographiques.

Populism and neopopulism in the Atlantic world (Europe and Latin America)

Definitions and concepts in the light of the political evolutions of recent decades

Nous assistons aujourd'hui dans une grande partie du monde à l'émergence de nouvelles formes du politique qui, faute de mieux, sont appelées « populismes » ou « néopopulismes ». Que l'on s'intéresse à l'élection de Donald Trump aux États-Unis ou celle de Jair Bolsonaro au Brésil, ou aux régimes de Vladimir Poutine, Victor Orban, la Ligue du Nord et du mouvement Cinq Etoiles, cette évolution politique a très souvent été envisagée comme une déformation pathologique d'une forme politique qui aurait existé sous une forme « originellement pure » : la démocratie libérale. Dans ce contexte où les concepts ne servent plus qu'à nourrir l'invective, il nous a paru important de réunir des chercheuses et chercheurs de différentes disciplines et horizons afin de privilégier des analyses comparatives ou des échanges favorisant les perspectives comparatives.

Spiritual tourism

ISSR 2019 conference

Si le tourisme est un phénomène moderne, le tourisme spirituel se pose comme une mutation post-moderne et plurielle de la pratique du pèlerinage vers les lieux sacrés. Pèlerins et touristes partagent les mêmes exigences concernant la disponibilité de structures, infrastructures et services. Toutefois, les motivations qui les poussent à entamer le voyage dont la connotation est spirituelle peuvent être profondément différentes, comme sont différents les moyens de transport utilisés pour atteindre la destination. Une mobilité spirituelle non seulement amplifie le registre du sacré, mais ouvre aussi à l’immanence au point de pouvoir analyser cette pratique dans le domaine des loisirs spirituels.

Religion and Politics in Small Nations: Comparative Socio-cultural and Institutional Dimensions

ISSR's 35th Congress - Thematic session

Small nations of Central and Eastern Europe have provided fertile ground to study the relationship between religion and politics. Too often, however, research on the region suffers from a problematic Orientalism, depicting nationalism in the East as a dangerous ethnic, religious, and anti-modern force. This bilingual thematic session, organized within the framework of the 2019 Congress of the International Society of Sociology of Religions (ISSR - July 9-12 - Barcelona), seeks to understand the relationship between politics and religion “from within” small nations themselves.

The epoch of space. State and new perspectives

For centuries, the study of time was one of the main academic interests in the field of Humanities. However, in the second half of the 20^th century, most scholars and philosophers shifted their focus to the question of space. The interest in studying this in the field of the arts has increased significantly in recent years, and is especially noticeable in the case of literary creations.The growing influence of ecocriticism and geocriticism is especially noticeable in digital humanities. The bridges recently built between these fields are already proving to be productive, as they have led to the development of new tools, approaches, and methodologies, such as deep mapping techniques and the spatial humanities. How have the disciplines evolved in recent years? Do we need to redefine the key concepts regarding space and place? Has our relationship with territory changed? Have we produced new ways of inhabiting space?
