The Invention of Greek origins in the textual and visual cultures of pre-modern Europe (1100-1600)
Ces journées d’études envisagent d’explorer les emplois, les fonctions et les finalités des discours sur les origines grecques et la polysémie de ce concept entre 1100 à 1600, dans les cultures textuelles, visuelles et matérielles européennes, autour des questions suivantes : comment la notion d’origine /d’origines est-elle alors pensée par les auteurs et les artistes ? Qu’est-ce qui à la fois l’unit et la distingue de l’héritage ? Pourquoi les Grecs ? Quelle(s) Grèce(s) sont pensées comme des origines ? De qui et de quoi sont ces origines ? Quelles modalités de représentation et quels processus d’appropriation apparaissent ? Dans quels buts et pour quels publics ?

Conference, symposium - Early modern
Classée hiérarchiquement après la peinture d’histoire, le portrait et la scène de genre par André Félibien dans la préface des Conférences de l’Académie, la peinture de paysage n’en demeure pas moins un art apprécié des collectionneurs et des amateurs. Discutée dans les traités, tels ceux de Roger de Piles, Jean-Baptiste Du Bos ou Charles Batteux, la peinture de paysage occupe une part croissante dans la critique d’art au XVIIIe siècle : dans son Salon de 1767, Diderot décrit longuement l’expérience totale qu’il vit en regardant les tableaux de paysage de Vernet. Ce colloque investiguera la notion de paysage aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles.

From the Grand Tour to Orient-Express: curiosity, exploration, sociability
In this colloquium, we propose to study how the travelers crossing the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean, between the “Grand Tour en Orient” and the Orient-Express, were able to apprehend these countries, their inhabitants, and their past. Our aim is to explore the social representations of travelers, as well as those of the populations they visited. Without limiting ourselves to reproducing the classic schemes for understanding these discourses, indebted to Edward Saïd, we shall historicize, contextualize and define these ambivalent perceptions according to the geopolitical considerations, ideological orientations, and personal affinities of those who produced these discourses.

Voces. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words
Expressing and Performing Emotions
The conference cycle “Voces. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words” aims to take a closer look at Latin words that have played an important role in the medieval culture. Every two year we propose to focus on a different major medieval concept and its linguistic expressions. This year’s edition will focus on Expressing and Performing Emotions.

The aim of this Study day is to examine the dynamics, interactions and tensions between the polysemic notions of margin and mainstream in post-1945 English-speaking areas. More specifically, we will examine the modalities and dynamics of exchange and movement from one category to the other, as well as the way in which they take on their meaning in varied and variable political, media, sociological and cultural contexts. Proposals may thus highlight thematic issues in relation to the phenomena studied, such as marginalised or militant histories, critical or methodological thoughts about mediation mechanisms, conceptualisation issues or personal and collective positioning.

This conference will tackle the different facets of the concept of inertia through a transversal and pluridisciplinary approach. A cross-geographical and cross-cultural approach is encouraged. In a society that values change and innovation, inertia is still very present. Political and legal institutions either have to face it or use it actively and strategically. Social movements understand that well as they are using inertia to promote their demands. Inertia can also be a manifestation of a desire of stability, of deliberately not acting in an attempt to stop time. Museums might be an example of that; cultural spaces need to face these contradictions. A rhetoric of inertia can then develop, on a political, legal, social or cultural level. This discourse can be contested or used to promote change or permanence, in a a state of constant and dynamic tension.

Making Ecocinema. Ecological Politics and Processes of Experimental Cinema
The hypothesis of this two-day conference is to investigate the fabrication of experimental film from the perspective of an “active ecology”, the ways of acting and transforming the world that accompany experimental filmmakers’ creative gestures : political and social ecologies, ecologies of technique, and processual ecology. The question could therefore be summarized in dialectical form : in what way does the awakening of an ecological consciousness affect and transform the experiences and processes of experimental film making ? In turn, in what way do experimental and artisanal approaches to cinematic creation reshape our relationship with the living and call for a new ecological consciousness ? Ecopolitics and creative processes will therefore be explored in their multiple interweavings.

La valeur des vivants dans l’Occident médiéval (Ve-XVe siècle)
In the framework of a study day, we propose to reflect on the values accorded to living beings (humans and animals) in the medieval West from the 5th to the 15th century. They are characterised by their market, utilitarian and symbolic value. In addition to this, there are the considerations and knowledge that medieval people had of their fellow human beings and their environment (fauna and trees). Finally, the event proposes to look at these questions in the context of reflections on medievalism. As the issues are diverse, we are making the whole range of humanities and social sciences disciplines.

« Perspective » n° 2024-2
The journal Perspective : actualité en histoire de l'art will explore, in its 2024 – 2 issue, the thematic “extreme bodies”. Our aim is to shed light on the ways images participate in the creation of the body, the spread of a standard and the constraints applied to that body in order to achieve the standard, but also the ways images sometimes serve to subvert them. It is thus in terms of the standardised body, considered more as a model or goal to be attained than as the aurea mediocritas (Horace, Odes, II, X, 5), the incarnation of the middle ground remote from excesses, that we would like to address questions related to extreme bodies.

Our identity depends significantly on our ability to store information in the form of memory. The summer school project aims to apply this reflection to the different facets involved: religion; material culture and archaeology; media and technology; crises, disasters, and resilience; politics; body and neuroscience; nature/culture relationship; law; literature.

The memorization of space, explored individually or collectively, is often studied through drawings. The act of drawing is an externalization process that involves cognitive and heuristic aspects of the mental map. More generally, it requires specific thinking skills and creativity. Everyone, to varying degrees, is likely to use drawings, not only for the purpose of recollection, but also for exploration and communication. Spatial cognition and geography have long used this simple process which is widely shared and easy to set up. If individual memorization processes are investigated in numerous studies, only few of them focused on the processes and strategies that underlie the act of drawing, especially with several people.

Digital for Heritage and Heritage of Digital
The new digital devices that heritage has gradually taken hold of are numerous. The possibilities offered by artificial intelligence aided by open data, semantic web, virtual reality, retro engineering, etc. are vast. They give rise to exciting research projects. But digital technologies are not only at the service of heritage, they are themselves a heritage. In this context, we propose the first edition of the IT in Heritage seminar. Beyond a state of the art of relations between heritage and digital technologies, it will bring together researchers from the Humanities and Computer Sciences working on these themes to offer them a space and time for exchange.

A Study Day Around Illustrated Print Culture
This study day aims to gather researchers around the subject of the printed image since the 1880s. With particular attention to material bibliography and production techniques, we seek to better understand how illustrations contribute to the formation of meaning and discourses within different contexts from illustrated newspapers to etiquette manuals, from scientific journals to children’s books.

As the research training group “European Dream Cultures” at Saarland University enters its ninth and final year, we would like our concluding conference to look not only back but also ahead, in focussing on future content of dreaming in literature, art, theatre, film, and music. Key questions include: What types of futures do artistic dreams of the future envision? Are they utopian or dystopian? Are they marked as dreams experienced during sleep, or are they imaginings of the future that are dreamlike in nature but anchored in the waking world? How do they connect to the present or the past, and to which version of these temporalities? What function do they assume within different works? To what extent do religious, political, or epistemological discourses influence these artistic dreams of the future?

Le retour des choses : objets, archives et création en temps de restitution
This workshops in Cameroon propose to approach restitution through the prism of returns, i.e. to decentralize: from the countries where the objects were held to the countries and communities of origin; from Western viewpoints to African opinions; from the “works” exhibited in European museums to the resocialization of the returned “things”, recharged with multiple meanings; from the materiality of the objects to archival images and to contemporary creations. How is the possible return of objects perceived? What imaginations and expectations does it awaken? What would be the values of the returned things?

Thresholds and crossing points
For Fantasy fiction characters, crossing worlds is rather common, especially in Low Fantasy. Many works in this genre also have the heroes travel from one space to another through doors, tunnels, windows, portals or specific means of transport. This new issue of Fantasy Art and Studies aims to question the thresholds and places of passage in Fantasy fiction, from the most common to the most singular, and possibly to identify a typology.

Cantieri dell’Agiografia, 7th edition Rome
The Cantieri dell’Agiografia (Hagiography Workshops) aim both at encouraging networking among scholars and at bringing out the most innovative research and methodologies in the field of hagiographical studies. This workshop provides a context in which the participants’ research can be showcased in diachronic and multidisciplinary forms. Participants are encouraged to discuss methodological tools, historical paths, and social and cultural interactions that, over the centuries and up to the present day, have sustained the process of recognition of sanctity, such as cultic practices, places of devotion, and forms of hagiographical communication.

Hemingway et l’Amérique du Sud
La fabrique transculturelle du vivant
The study of transculturality in Hemingway’s work, as proposed in this international conference, has a triple dimension: experiential, transtextual and intersubjective. Hemingway’s practice of transculturality was inspired by his passion for nature and the unconstrained possibilities of receiving and transmitting knowledge that the focus on nature as a universal good makes possible.
