The archaeology of early maritime navigation

Comparative approaches to the western Mediterranean and the English Channel / North Sea

L’archéologie de la navigation maritime affiche un dynamisme sans précédent depuis quelques années. En Méditerranée, sur les bords de la Manche et de la mer du Nord, des découvertes exceptionnelles attestent désormais les voyages à travers les mers d’Europe. Les archéologues connaissaient depuis longtemps la réalité des déplacements des hommes, des biens et des idées par voie maritime depuis des époques très anciennes. Cette rencontre sera l’occasion de faire le point sur les résultats obtenus, les acquis historiques et les nouvelles perspectives de recherche, mais il s’agira également d’aborder des questions de méthodologie dans ce type de recherche et notamment la définition des protocoles, l’apport de l’archéologie expérimentale et les modes de valorisation.

Meyerbeer and French Grand opéra

Organized in conjunction with the 150° anniversary of the death of Giacomo Meyerbeer, this conference aims to celebrate this composer as well as the development of French Grand opéra after 1831 (the year of Robert le diable). Meyerbeer’s theatrical production system estabilished a Grand opéra model in France and abroad that promoted the reputationy of Parisian productions. The Meyerbeerian standard was assimilated particularly in Germany and Italy; but it also provoked severe criticism, sometimes related to extra-operatic issues such as the composer’s Jewish origin.

Symbols and Models of the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean Sea is a milieu in which it is possible to observe, through an interdisciplinary lens, the undertaking of elements defining an idea which conflicts with its immediate sensitive aspect; an idea that arises from life situations and the imaginary world of every man. Nevertheless, it remains a context in which is possible to observe the presence and the constant use of historical symbols, patterns and models of those people inhabiting its shores, as embedded in both the artistic and material production, as well as in the literary one.

Magno e Latio Totaque Ausonia

Etnografia virgiliana e Italia augustea

Ausonia, in senso aggettivale originario, è prima di tutto la meta del viaggio di Enea: in accezione minima, quindi, il Lazio; ma nella prospettiva virgiliana orientata su Roma, Ausonia è nell’Eneide sinonimo di Italia nella sua valenza massima, estesa a tutta la penisola. Allo stesso modo, se Ausonii saranno gli Italici nel loro complesso (e nelle Georgiche l’aggettivo qualifica già gli stessi Romani), nell’Eneide è ausonio dapprima il mondo italico ostile ai Troiani. C’è senza dubbio artificio nel sistema etnografico del poema virgiliano, ma esso appare funzionale e finalizzato: in Virgilio la rievocazione del passato italico mira all’emergere dell’Urbs come risultante dell’interazione di elementi etnici eterogenei e alla raffigurazione dell’Italia di Augusto come superamento di tali elementi nel consensus universorum attorno alla figura del princeps. Proprio in virtù della sua natura ‘alchemica’, alla rappresentazione virgiliana del popolamento italico è stato spesso riconosciuto problematico valore in sede di indagine etnografica; ad analisi minuziosa la testimonianza dell’Eneide si rivela però fondata su base documentaria tutt’altro che disprezzabile (né è possibile escludere che talvolta il testo virgiliano rifletta situazioni arcaiche altrimenti non note): recuperarne le chiavi di lettura è obiettivo del presente convegno.

Commercial arbitration in the Mediterranean (15th-19th centuries)

Dans le cadre du programme de l’European Research Council « Mediterranean Reconfigurations », ce premier atelier d’études vise à interroger l’une des formes de résolution contentieuse favorite des marchands, non seulement en raison de sa célérité, mais aussi parce qu’elle permettait bien souvent de préserver la confidentialité des transactions et des différends familiaux : l’arbitrage. Loin d’être considéré à l’époque moderne comme une procédure imparfaite symptomatique de pouvoirs politique et judiciaire faibles, l’arbitrage était fréquemment pensé comme une procédure complémentaire aux tribunaux locaux et arrimée à eux. Cette journée vise ainsi à décrire le plus finement possible l’articulation entre les procédures qui ressortent à l’arbitrage privé, à l’arbitrage public et à l’offre institutionnelle censée permettre la résolution des litiges.

Allevamento transumante e agricoltura

La transhumance en Italie centrale de la Protohistoire à nos jours

Il seminario, organizzato all'interno del progetto "La transhumance en Italie centrale de la Protohistoire à nos jours", vuole riflettere sul rapporto tra pastorizia e agricoltura, tra forme di conflitto, strumenti di regolazione e ipotesi di integrazione. L'arco temporale cui si riferiscono le relazioni previste - tra ricerche di prima mano e riflessione storiografica - va dall'Età romana al Novecento e allarga l'area indagata al Mezzogiorno, peraltrofortemente connesso all'Italia centrale dalla pratica della transumanza ovina.Una relazione sull'area alpina e un'altra sulla Penisola iberica offriranno, infine, utili elementi diconfronto.

VIth Mediterranean Congress of Aesthetics

Facts and Values in Aesthetics: Contemporary Stakes and Approaches

In a text entitled The Collapse of the Fact/Value Dichotomy and Other Essays (2004), Hilary Putnam argues convincingly against a classic opposition which does not serve philosophical reflection positively. Putnam’s analysis mostly focuses on the theory and practice of knowledge, but one can legitimately extend it to other fields, starting with that of aesthetics, which sooner or later is confronted with the question of whether one defends or rejects the dichotomy. Keeping or rejecting it implies reasons to do so, but often these reasons remain implicit, most especially in aesthetics.

Conference, symposium - Psyche

The religious experience of the ‘disease of the soul’ and its definitions in the early modern period: censorship, dissent and self-representation

Il tema della malinconia, nelle sue diverse declinazioni storico-artistiche, mediche, letterarie, filosofiche, psicologiche costituisce l’oggetto di una vasta letteratura. Del resto, lo stesso termine “malinconia” è un termine polisemico, associato storicamente a una grande varietà di gruppi di significati non sempre assimilabili tra loro. Il seminario intende approfondire le diverse valenze semantiche del termine “malinconia” in ambito religioso in età moderna, sia in campo protestante sia in campo cattolico.

Great officers in the Angers region

Questo primo convegno del progetto Europange, che si occupa dello studio e dell’informatizzazione degli ufficiali angioini, si propone di tornare su un tema chiave nello studio degli ufficiali angioini, che tuttavia ha ricevuto un’attenzione limitata in tempi recenti: i grandi ufficiali del Regno o gli ufficiali sovralocali. Mentre per alcune aree come la Provenza (i siniscalchi) si può disporre di studi aggiornati o comunque di un quadro complessivo dei meccanismi di funzionamento, per altre, come la Toscana o la Morea, si sa davvero pochissimo. Si tratta dunque di indagare in chiave comparativa una fondamentale cinghia di trasmissione tra il sovrano e gli ufficiali locali per il governo dei territori inclusi nello spazio angioino, attraverso cui si possono cogliere le diversità, ma eventualmente anche le analogie o addirittura i modelli nelle differenti aree della presenza angioina.

AdriAtlas e la storia dello spazio adriatico antico (VI a.C. – VIII d.C.)

Questo convegno offre agli gli istituti coinvolti l’opportunità di fare un primo bilancio di AdriAtlas, con la partecipazione delle università di Macerata e di Foggia, impegnate da vari anni in Albania, e di confrontare le riflessioni e le esperienze dei ricercatori sullo spazio adriatico, considerato come oggetto di studio storico sul lungo termine.
