Appel à contribution – Benedictine Cultures

Benedictines carry on a monastic tradition that stems from the origins of the Christian monastic movement in the late third century, regarding Benedict as their founder and guide even though he did not establish a Benedictine Order as such. He wrote a Rule for his monastery at Monte Cassino in Italy and he foresaw that it could be used elsewhere. The Rule found its way to monasteries in England, Gaul, and elsewhere. At first it was one of a number of rules accepted by a particular monastery but later, especially through its promotion by Charlemagne and his son Louis, it became the rule of choice for both male and female monasteries of Europe from the ninth century onwards.

This interdisciplinary conference will examine all aspects of Benedictine life in the period 800 – 1900 and welcomes papers from researchers in fields including History, Literary Studies, Theology, Philosophy, Musicology and Art History. Proposals (c. 200 words) for papers of 20 minutes should be emailed to sparsons@downside.co.uk by 29th July, 2016. Panel proposals consisting of three speakers are also encouraged, as are papers from postgraduates.

Appel à contribution – : Direct and Collateral Impacts of Warfare on the Medieval Environment

ESEH Conference, Zagreb, Croatia

June 28th – July 2nd, 2017

Eseh

In recent decades, as modern societies inevitably turned their attention towards the growing environmental crisis, medievalists have become increasingly interested in the complex interactions between humans and their natural environment. Recent scholarship has underlined the undeniable significance of environmental history in our understanding of the medieval world by providing ample evidences of the impacts of environmental and biological factors on human societies, as well as on the effect of human activity, whether positive or negative, on the natural world. While it is perhaps more apparent in modern conflicts, warfare, one of humanity’s oldest activities, had long-lasting impacts on both medieval landscapes and societies. This panel proposal aims to explore the dynamics between warfare and natural environment during the Middle Ages. We welcome proposals for 20-minutes papers on all methodological approaches related to the impacts of medieval conflicts on landscapes, natural resources or cities, whether they were deliberate devastations or the collateral results of military operations, and also on the influence of the environment on warfare during the Middle Ages

Applicants should submit a 250-words proposal along with a 1-page CV to rptucker@umich.edu and danny.lake-giguere@umontreal.ca before September 1st.

Feel free to contact us to discuss your ideas.

Bande-dessinée – « Charlemagne », Clotilde Bruneau, Vincent Delmas et Geneviève Thierry

Le roi qui devint empereur

L’épopée de Charlemagne est celle d’un fils de grand seigneur parvenant au sommet du pouvoir en Europe en construisant un nouveau système politique, dont il occupe la place la plus élevée. Chrétien convaincu, il poursuit constamment un objectif affiché comme religieux : promouvoir partout et le plus loin possible la société chrétienne, par tous les moyens (militaires, culturels, administratifs, etc.), se plaçant d’autorité comme le protecteur de la papauté. Conquérant charismatique et homme politique sachant s’entourer des grands intellectuels de son époque, il incarne un moment unique de l’Europe dont l’apogée est le sacre impérial.

9782723495561-t

Clotilde Bruneau et Vincent Delmas font appel à l’expertise de l’historienne Geneviève Thierry pour dresser le destin de cette figure emblématique de la monarchie française, enluminé de fort belle manière par le dessin épique de Gwendal Lemercier.

Podcast – « Histoire, roman et fiction », dialogue avec Patrick Boucheron et Laurent Binet

Débat organisé à la BNF (Paris) le 9 décembre 2011 dans le cadre du cycle « Chemins d’accès : Quelle(s) médiation(s) pour l’Histoire ? ».

Logo_BnF.svg

Comment rencontrer le passé quand il a disparu et qu’on ne dispose pour s’en approcher que de traces, d’empreintes ou d’objets souvent lacunaires et toujours ambigus ? Dans le champ de la médiation, l’Histoire serait-elle lestée d’une difficulté, voire d’une impossibilité particulière ?

A quelles conditions la médiation peut-elle permettre à chacun de construire son propre lien au passé ?

Que peut apporter la fiction à la connaissance et à la transmission de l’Histoire ? Sous quelles formes ? Quelle est la part de l’invention dans la démarche de l’historien ? On interrogera le désir de l’historien d’utiliser la narration romanesque comme écriture de l’Histoire quand celle-ci permet d’éclairer des aspects restés inaperçus dans son travail : ressources et pièges…Comment exploiter la fiction littéraire dans la médiation de l’Histoire auprès des publics scolaires ?

Dialogue animé par Emmanuel Laurentin, avec Patrick Boucheron, historien, médiéviste, et Laurent Binet, écrivain, professeur de Lettres.

Appel à contribution – « Jouer à la flamme bien moyenâgeuse » : médiévisme dans la culture populaire contemporaine

Échéance : 31 juillet 2016
INU Champollion, Albi, France

Cette journée d’étude aura lieu les 25 et 26 novembre 2016 à l’Institut National Universitaire Jean-François Champollion dans la ville épiscopale d’Albi dans le Tarn. Les propositions de communications (250-500 mots, en anglais ou français) sont à envoyer accompagné d’un court CV à john.ford@univ-jfc.fr avant le 31 juillet 2016.

Présentation :

La culture populaire d’aujourd’hui est riche en allusions au Moyen Age, non seulement dans la littérature et les arts visuels – comme elle l’a toujours été dans les siècles passés (par exemple, les préraphaélites ou Connecticut Yankee dans la cour du roi Arthur de Twain, Idylles du roi de Tennyson, ou le Hobbit et le Seigneur des Anneaux de Tolkien, etc.) – mais aussi dans les romans graphiques et dans les bandes dessinées, sur le petit comme sur le grand écran, ainsi que sur les écrans d’ordinateur des amateurs de jeux vidéos, les parcs d’attractions, les festivals et les foires.

Mais combien de ces références dont le contexte est médiéval – présentées comme de nouvelles versions de vieux récits ou tout simplement utilisant de manière plus libre un cadre ou un thème médiéval – reflètent fidèlement le Moyen Age ? Et de quelle manière et dans quelle mesure ces références médiévales modifient-elle ou déforment-elle la réalité de cette époque ? A quel point cette époque est-elle romancée comme, par exemple, dans un Camelot idéalisé où «la pluie ne peut tomber qu’après le coucher du soleil »? Dans quelle mesure est-elle, comme l’atteste l’expression « Jouer à la flamme bien moyenâgeuse » qui implique la menace d’une vengeance féroce, diabolisée, vilipendée? Dans quelle mesure et à quel point ces constructions, ces références, influencent-elles sur notre compréhension du Moyen Age? Est-il donc important d’être exact ? Enfin, dans quelle mesure ces modifications mettent-elles à jour les textes et les récits en leur permettant de rester en vie et en constante évolution ? Et pourquoi le Moyen Age est-il l’éternel sujet favori, exploité année après année, décennie après décennie, siècle après siècle?

Cette journée d’étude va tenter de répondre à ces questions en ouvrant le dialogue par le biais de différentes disciplines : histoire, littérature, linguistique diachronique, arts visuels, cinéma, théâtre, télévision, mais aussi via les jeux vidéos et les parcs d’attraction, etc. Il s’agira d’étudier la popularité durable des thèmes médiévaux et la manière dont les récits et les textes médiévaux sont transmis, conservés, déformés, renouvelés et utilisés pour construire la nouvelle culture populaire résolument moderne, de l’Europe, de l’Amérique du Nord et du monde du 21ème siècle.

Il est important de considérer l’importance de la précision dans les représentations prétendument basées sur des textes réels, comme par exemple la série Vikings, ou les divers remakes de Beowulf. Et, dans quelle mesure ce libre traitement est-il acceptable, ou même à encourager? Dans quelle mesure les idées reçues, souvent douteuses, sont-elles employées dans des œuvres originales au contexte médiéval, mais pas forcément dans un cadre véritablement médiéval comme Game of Thrones ou Harry Potter?

Outre les ouvrages mentionnés ci-dessus, la conférence est ouverte à toute proposition portant sur l’utilisation des œuvres ou des thèmes médiévaux dans tous les aspects de la culture populaire actuelle ou antérieure, les conduisant à une place ancrée dans la culture populaire moderne – non seulement dans la fiction et l’art, mais dans toute forme de divertissement ou de représentation. Enfin, la valeur de la littérature et de la culture médiévales, de la culture populaire, ainsi que leur interdépendance, sera étudiée.

Appel à contribution – Readjusting the Middle Ages

Utrecht, 11 November 2016

For as long as we can remember, the idea of the ‘Middle Ages’ has been under review. As medievalists we have accepted, if only for practical purposes, the periodisation of European history in Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the (Pre-) Modern Age. In doing so, we have unwittingly allowed negative connotations of the ‘Middle Ages’ to persist in education, politics, and the received ideas of the public at large. Yet, through our research we have come to a set of rather different views. We no longer hold to the established periodisation of Western civilisation. Indeed, we are coming to question the very notion of ‘the West’, and are slowly beginning to react in our research and in our teaching to the study of the western Middle Ages in isolation. Neither do we see the story of our continent as one of unfettered progress from the ‘cradle’ of the Middle Ages to the blessings of contemporary modernity. Nor do we see the Middle Ages as a thousand-year-long hiccup in the advance of civilisation from Greek and Roman Antiquity to our own age. We have come to realise that in the panoply of developments taking place during the Middle Ages there were some we might be tempted to applaud, whereas there were others that we have reservations about – as with developments in any other period of history, including our own. And we are keenly aware that we have to understand both the developments and our judgement of them.

These are some of the considerations that inform the continuing readjustment of the study of the Middle Ages, and, as a result, of the Middle Ages themselves. What are the Middles Ages? When did they take place? Where did they take place? And: how do they relate to the periods that went before and followed? One thing is certain: the Middle Ages, no matter how we wish to define them, were no Dark Ages.

At the Mediëvistendag of 11 November 2016, we will address some of these problems. During the morning’s general session, we will ask prominent medievalists to reflect on key issues in medieval developments and their continuation later on. During the afternoon’s sessions, we have a chance to hear about research currently carried out, which will in time help further adjustments of the Middle Ages. We will then move to Museum het Catharijneconvent for a lecture on St Martin and a visit to the exhibition ‘Heilige Schrift – Tanach – Bijbel – Koran’. The Mediëvistendag will end with a borrel.

The definitive programme will be made available in September. Those who wish to present their current research are asked to read the attachment and send their proposal by 1 September to M.Mostert@uu.nl.

All lectures and papers will be presented in English, to allow all scholars, PhD students and Research MA students, irrespective of their linguistic abilities, to take part.

Colloque – Horizontal Learning within High Medieval Religious Communities

September 1st and 2nd, 2016
Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts, Brussels

This conference will center on the medieval practices of learning within a community, understood as a body of people who practice communal living and share an understanding of what binds them together, even though this understanding is constantly being renegotiated. Our aim is to focus on the ways in which co-habiting peers learned from one another. This “horizontal learning” has received much less attention than the vertical master/student approach, and yet it emerges as an important part of the learning experience, especially as we are interested in “learning” in a broad sense: not only acquiring factual knowledge or skills, but also developing ideas and beliefs and adapting to behavioral patterns. In short, everything that could make a monk a better and more efficient member of the community.

Whereas other projects thematize the institutional history of learning, the transmission of propositional knowledge in formalized educational contexts, or the importance of networks of learning, this project distinguishes itself through its focus on day-to-day interactions by community members.

Our starting point is the investigation of communal learning in the practices of high medieval religious communities. Progressing beyond the old view that they were closed, homogeneous, and fairly stable social groups, we intend to approach these communities as the product of a continuous process of education and integration of new members. Contributions will investigate the way in which inter-personal exchanges of knowledge between peers concretely functioned, and what this teaches us about medieval learning within the context of a community.
