Contending Representations: Questioning Republicanism in Early Modern Genoa (1559-1684)
In the past thirty years, several studies have been devoted to the political and cultural flowering of the republic of Genoa during the so-called ‘siglo de los Genoveses’, between 1528 and 1630, when Genoa became the hub of European trade and an important epicenter of artistic and literary production. Yet little attention has been granted to the cultural and economic crisis that followed or to how Genoese republican state power was represented during the long seventeenth century, especially in relation to neighbouring polities. To address this gap, the conference will explore how the Genoese Republic shaped its political image between 1559 – the year of the publication of Oberto Foglietta’s Delle cose della repubblica di Genova – and 1684, when Genoa was bombed by the French. We intend to address questions such as how did Genoese politicians and men of letters represent their homeland? How was Genoa represented by the Genoese community in Spain or in the Low Countries? How was its political system conceived by other Italian and non-Italian political writers? And how did prevailing depictions of absolutism influence republican rhetoric?

MemWar. Memory and forgetting of war and trauma in the 20th century
Le XXIe siècle nait de l’histoire tourmentée du XXe, avec ses deux guerres mondiales et les autres conflits de dimension européenne, comme la Guerre civile espagnole. Ce colloque, organisé par le groupe de recherche « MemWar. Mémoires et oublis des guerres et des traumatismes du XXe siècle » du Département de Langues et cultures modernes de l’Université de Gênes, vise à analyser les modalités de transmission mémorielle de ces conflits au XXIe siècle, les représentations de ces derniers, les points aveugles et/ou obscurs de ce processus mémoriel, y compris dans une optique critique (Ricoeur, 2003) et, enfin, comment se développent les rapports de force entre discours officiel et contre-discours.

Metodologia, temi, fonti
A cent’anni dalla fine del Primo conflitto mondiale e a quarant’anni dall’approvazione della cosiddetta Legge Basaglia, si rinnova l’attenzione della storiografia sui processi di alienazione mentale, sulla loro comprensione e sul loro trattamento. A fronte di un crescente interesse, soprattutto da parte della storiografia internazionale, verso questo genere di tematiche, in Italia persiste un atteggiamento di sospetto e diffidenza, in parte dovuto alla ridotta conoscenza delle possibilità offerte da un dialogo tanto affascinante quanto rischioso. Quali sono i rapporti tra storiografia e psichiatria? Quali strumenti deve padroneggiare lo storico per una adeguata problematizzazione dell’argomento? Quale uso fare delle fonti psichiatriche? Quali risultati sono stati raggiunti in questi anni dagli storici italiani che hanno affrontato il tema? Questi sono soltanto alcuni degli interrogativi che il confronto tra le due discipline solleva.

La città multietnica nel mondo mediterraneo
Storia, cultura, patrimonio
This meeting aims to foster a discussion about the continuities and disruptions which have conditioned the multi-ethnic dimension of our cities. We would like to focus on the specificities of places and time in our millennial history that have produced both tangible and intangible cultural heritage (a heritage which today seems strongly under attack). We aim for a historical perspective – by drawing attention on well-documented case-studies offering comparative insights – without however forgetting to ask ourselves the meaning of our research in the troubled world we live in; without anachronisms, but also without hiding behind the pretext of specialisms, while in front of our eyes the Mediterranean world is more than ever a theatre of death, exclusion, suffering.

Multi-ethnic cities in the Mediterranean world
History, culture, heritage
This meeting aims to foster a discussion about the continuities and disruptions which have conditioned the multi-ethnic dimension of Mediterranean cities. We would like to focus on the specificities of places and time in our millennial history that have produced both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. We would like to broaden the traditional horizons of our disciplines under the issues of our times, questioning the role of historical research and the forms of scientific communication nowadays, when old practices seem more challenged than ever by the overwhelming expansion of new technologies.

Letters, journals and memories of soldiers, women and children during the First World War
Quels sont les sentiments, les perceptions et les attitudes mentales des soldats, mais aussi des civils, des femmes, des enfants, durant la guerre ? Quelles sont leurs stratégies de résistance psychologique à cette déstabilisante expérience ? On peut tenter de répondre à ces questions en se tournant vers l'ample typologie de textes produits par les combattants et la population civile « mobilisée » : lettres, journaux et mémoires qui – encore en partie enfouis dans des tiroirs de famille ou conservés dans des archives d'écriture populaire – expriment des potentialités narratives considérables, mais revêtent aussi d'une part, un fort intérêt historiographique et linguistique. Ce colloque a pour but de se confronter aux questions méthodologiques encore ouvertes, présentant des textes particulièrement significatifs et des résultats de recherche dans ce domaine en croisant les approches scientifiques sur les écrits des soldats des divers fronts en Europe durant le conflit.

L’idea di impero universale e la successione degli imperi nell’antichità
Nelle letterature antiche ricorre una teoria della "successione degli imperi", concepita come tramite un processo violento di conquista, che rappresenta una chiave interpretativa della storia universale che segna anche un punto di incontro tra concezioni di popoli caratterizzati da culture diverse, che conobbe grande fortuna fino all'età bizantina. Il convegno, attraverso l’incontro fra studiosi, italiani e stranieri, specialisti di epoche e letterature diverse, mira a offrire un momento di riflessione e di discussione sulle molteplici letture e sulle variazioni ideologiche a queste sottese, in una prospettiva diacronica dall'Antichità a Bisanzio.

Banlieues : quelles représentations contemporaines des quartiers « sensibles » ?
Depuis les trente dernières années, le mot banlieue désigne l’inscription territoriale d’une question sociale, comme le souligne l’historienne experte de la banlieue parisienne Annie Fourcaut. Très en vogue dans les débats médiatiques et politiques, notamment depuis les premières émeutes urbaines médiatisées des années 1990 jusqu’à arriver aux plus violentes en 2005, les banlieues entendues comme quartiers « sensibles », semblent rassembler autour d’elles et de leur jeunesse surtout, les connotations les plus disparates et péjoratives : paupérisation socio / économique, ségrégation résidentielle, dégradation du bâtiment, violence et délinquance. Le projet de ce colloque s’inscrit dans ce contexte d’actualité et vise à réfléchir sur les représentations sociales et artistiques contemporaines de ces lieux, incluant la littérature et les arts visuels tels que le cinéma, la photographie et les arts urbains.

Letters, diaries and memoirs of soldiers, women and children in the First World War
What were the feelings, the perceptions and the mental attitudes of soldiers and civilians, of women and children, during the war? What strategies of psychological resistance did they employ in response to such destabilising experience? It is possible to answer these questions by consulting the wide variety of writings produced by the combatants and by the civilian population "mobilised" during the conflict. These letters, diaries, and memoirs – some still hidden in old drawers, though many collected in 'folk writing' archives – are also of considerable narrative and historical interest, due to their linguistic peculiarities, and their efficacy as depth-probes and guides into the war. This conference will address the methodological debates that are still ongoing, while presenting texts of particular significance, as well as the results of European research in historical and linguistic fields.

Subject and image: writing with art
Le groupe de recherche de l'ARGEC (Atelier de recherche génois sur l’écriture contemporaine) organise un colloque international intitulé « Le bal des arts. Le sujet et l’image: écrire avec l’art » qui se tiendra du 4 au 6 juillet 2013 et qui constituera l'aboutissement du PRIN 2009 (Projet de recherche d'intérêt national italien) « Le sujet et l'art dans le roman français contemporain ». Ce colloque sera l'occasion de s'interroger sur les rapports entre l’écriture romanesque et les arts de l'image (cinéma, peinture et arts figuratifs, photographie), dans des romans ou des récits dont le sujet artistique peut être le narrateur, un personnage ou l’objet de la narration.

The Second Iron Age in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Economic, social and cultural aspects
L’objectif de la journée d’étude internationale FERTIGE13 (Ferro Tirreno Genova 2013) est de dynamiser la mise en réseau des jeunes chercheurs en réunissant une douzaine de doctorants et jeunes docteurs (moins de cinq ans) concernés par l’espace et la chronologie de la réunion, tout en privilégiant l’interdisciplinarité des approches. Les intervenants seront invités à présenter des travaux en lien avec cette problématique, en insistant sur la contextualisation à échelle inter-régionale, et en focalisant sur les méthodologies impliquées, dans l’idée de confronter au mieux les dynamiques de recherche actuelles entre les différentes institutions.
