Call for papers - Early modern
Following in the footsteps of Fernand Braudel, an increasing number of recent studies show that the Mediterranean basin might be considered as a “borderland”, “borderscape” or “Frontier” suggesting that this area is not strictly a border between Christian and Muslim civilization, but a basin in which the two traditions and cultures meet and overlap, with an extraordinary variety of reactions to the hegemonic practices (acceptance, conflict, refusal, dissent). The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars who will discuss, from different perspectives and with a multidisciplinary approach, the variety of themes (topics) which revolve around the common issue of reflecting the problem of borderlands as a consequence of the encounter between Christendom and Ottoman Empire in the Early modern Mediterranean. The starting point of examination will be images, i.e. the usage of images (pictures, mental images, literary images and other visual representations …) as historical evidence.

Workshop on sexual violence in modern southern European history
Southern European gender models and the implications of these on the study of sexual violence in the western world are relatively under-theorised within broader narratives of the western subject. This workshop seeks to address this lacuna through an exploration of the intersection of southern European culture – understood through the prism of “unity in diversity” – and sexual violence in the modern period. A thorough comparison of sexual violence within the diverse localities of the European south will allow similarities and differences to emerge, and will help to decentre current emphasis on the English-speaking world within the current historiography on sexual violence.

Violence in Plato’s philosophy
Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence (Special Issue)
The Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence (PJCV) is seeking articles dealing with philosophical issues that arise in connection with the conception of conflict and violence within Plato’s philosophy. Conflict and violence are often regarded as two of Plato’s main interests in his political thought, especially when he discusses the dread and danger they bring to the city. However, is it possible to understand conflict and violence in Plato’s work only from this political and rather pejorative standpoint? It is possible to see conflict and violence in Plato’s philosophy as something else, rather than a threat to the harmony of the community?

The Arab world and the Mediterranean in the digital era: forms, practices and representations
Cette journée d’études invite les chercheurs à discuter des travaux traitant des unités lexicales et les formes discursives, comme objets de recherche de la lexicologie, la lexicographie, la sémantique lexicale et l’ethno-psycho-sociolinguistique, et ce dans l’objectif d’identifier les éventuelles formes de substitution, d’emprunt, d’adaptation, d’hybridation, etc. marquant les langues de la Méditerranée. L'objectif de ceci sera de rendre compte de la configuration des langues et des discours dans le monde arabe et méditerranéen et de l'influence des langues présentes dans cette région sur les pratiques sociales et culturelles.

Photographic archaeology - from excavation to the writing of history
De la fouille à l'écriture de l'Histoire
Cette année, le cycle de conférences dédiée à l’archéologie est pensé en lien avec la photographie et l’exposition de Josef Koudelka, Ruines qui se tient à la Bibliothèque nationale de France du 21 avril au 19 juillet 2020. Ce thème permet à l’artiste de dialoguer avec Alain Schnapp, auteur de Ruines : essai de perspective comparée (2015) et d’une série de conférences Musée du Louvre / ENS « Une histoire universelle des ruines » en 2014. Depuis 30 ans, Josef Koudelka photographie des sites archéologiques du bassin méditerranéen dont certains ont disparu. D’un autre point de vue, la photographie est devenue un partenaire indispensable des fouilles, accompagnant l’archéologue depuis le repérage du site, la documentation du travail de terrain, la révélation d’éléments invisibles à l’œil nu jusqu’à la publication des vues des zones explorées et détruites au courant de la fouille. Au cours de six conférences, des chercheurs et des archéologues témoignent de la pratique photographique sur le terrain et mettent en évidence ce qu’elle apporte à la reconstitution historique.

Greece(s) - Histoire de l'art journal, no 86
Histoire de l'art, no 86
2021 marks the bicentennial of the Greek uprising which resulted, at the end of a long war, in the country’s independence:Greece was thus born as a modern nation while romanticism, particularly in France, made it one of its favorite themes,carrying out out a vibrant philhellenic movement. The commemoration should not, however, cover up that there were andare other Greeces, from antiquity to our own day. The theme of this issue is also given in the plural since the construction of Greek art in the modern era is but one of the phenomena considered here. It is the plurality of constructions of Greecein art which unifies the collection of studies and essays which we envision.

Le monde des arts s’offre au regard, peut-être beaucoup plus aujourd’hui que par le passé, comme une scène bigarrée où tous les possibles concourent à l’expression du monde, une expression subjective engageant un je, singulier ou pluriel, mais revendiquée comme telle, et quelle qu’elle soit : directe, donnée au figuré, sous enveloppe métaphorique, hybride, protéique ou … carrément inachevée. Le « non finito » dans l’art, s’il avait eu du temps, de Michel Ange, un aspect anecdotique, achève aujourd’hui de constituer une véritable mouvance tant dans les galeries d’art, les fabriques du livre, le septième art, les arts dramatiques avec des appellations souvent confondantes, devenues presque consacrées : esquisse, story board, rushes, work in process, mise en bouche, mise en espace, première (en parlant de théâtre), œuvre en devenir, etc...

Narrative forms and co-production in Arab cinemas
Norms, constraints, and margins of freedom
Film industry in the Arab world remains generally underdeveloped. Arab countries still depend on international film support funds, mainly European. This puts Arab producers, scriptwriters and filmmakers in a subaltern position in relation to European producers and funders, whose expectations in terms of content as well as narrative and aesthetic forms end up strongly impacting the film creation process. On the other hand, margins of freedom and resistance can be created within this system. This edition of Regards aims at addressing the complex relation between Arab cinemas and international film support funds.

Historiography of the Perception of Islam through Manuscripts, Korans and their Displacement
The aim of this workshop is to approach the question of the relationship between Christianity and Islam through the study of the production, circulation and uses of Arabic manuscripts, and mainly Korans, in the late medieval and early modern Mediterranean Europe. Our assumption is that the Balkans, Italy and the Iberian Peninsula form an axis of circulation which is especially significant for our understanding of the Mediterranean Sea as a comprehensive space of cultural, political and religious contact.

Seminar - Prehistory and Antiquity
Le séminaire Historiographies antiques est un séminaire de recherche pluridisciplinaire ouvert à tous et à toutes à partir du master. Il a pour but de réfléchir sur la pratique historiographique antique, en cherchant à la comprendre pour elle-même, selon ses propres critères et non en effectuant des comparaisons avec l'écriture de l'histoire telle qu'elle est conçue de nos jours. Dans cette perspective, il rassemble des chercheurs et des chercheuses, débutant.e.s ou confirmé.e.s, de toutes les disciplines touchant, d'une manière ou d'une autre, à l'écriture de l'histoire dans l'Antiquité : Littérature antique, Histoire ancienne, Archéologie, Philosophie...

Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
Women and Violence in the Late Medieval Mediterranean, ca. 1100-1500
A two-days international conference
The last decades have witnessed an increased interest in research on the relationship between women and violence in the Middle Ages, with new works both on female criminality and on women as victims of violence. The contributions of gender theory and feminist criminology have renewed the approached used in this type of research. Nevertheless, many facets of the complex relationship between women and violence in medieval times still await to be explored in depth. This conference aims to understand how far the roots of modern assumptions concerning women and violence may be found in the late medieval Mediterranean, a context of intense cultural elaboration and exchange which many scholars have indicated as the cradle of modern judicial culture. While dialogue across the Mediterranean was constant in the late Middle Ages, occasions for comparative discussion remain rare for modern-day scholars, to the detriment of a deeper understanding of the complexity of many issues. Thus, we encourage specialists of different areas across the Mediterranean (Western Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic world) to contribute to the discussion. What were the main differences and similarities? How did these change through time? What were the causes for change? Were coexisting assumptions linking femininity and violence conflicting or collaborating?

4º Encontro sobre Conservação e Reabilitação de Edifícios
ENCORE 2020
Conservar e Reabilitar monumentos, edifícios e espaços são oportunidades únicas para fomentar a sustentabilidade das cidades. Lisboa será, em 2020, a Capital Verde Europeia, constituindo-se o ENCORE 2020 numa ocasião ímpar para relevar os desafios ambientais da transformação das cidades: poupar recursos, reutilizar materiais, melhorar a eficiência energética, repensar as centralidades urbanas, promover a resiliência. Porque a cidade resiliente deve ser a cidade das pessoas, os monumentos, edifícios e espaço urbano, têm que servir aos seus habitantes e ser atrativas para os seus visitantes. Mais do que relatar problemas, visa-se encontrar e debater caminhos e soluções para questões como: O que se deve preservar? Como atualizar sem destruir? É viável conservar e reabilitar?

La notion de vernaculaire tend de plus en plus à échapper à l’opposition ancienne entre, d’une part, les idées de proximité et d’ancrage local qu'elle porterait traditionnellement et, d’autre part, celles de circulation et d’extra-localité qu'on associe par contraste au véhiculaire. La substantivation de l’adjectif vernaculaire et son adossement à celui de contemporain accompagne cette évolution. Aujourd’hui, le vernaculaire semble constituer un domaine culturel regroupant des manières de faire linguistiques, architecturales, paysagères, picturales, relevant de la création artistique, ou encore de la production d’objets. Ce colloque aura pour objet d’interroger cette notion à travers son renouvellement sémantique, ses circulations géographiques et ses ancrages disciplinaires.
