Appel à contribution : « Defend Sacred Spaces in the Medieval Mediterranean », Isola di Lipari, Parco Archeologico Luigi Bernabò Brea, 3-5 octobre 2024, date limite le 16 juin 2024

Starting from the end of the 9th century, important events including the disintegration of the Carolingian empire and the advance of populations from northern and eastern Europe and the Arab world triggered a phase of insecurity and political instability. The Mediterranean, a place of meetings and exchanges between culturally and geographically distant populations, was particularly affected by these events. In a climate full of tension, threatened by internal conflicts and the advance of non-Christian populations,...

Appel à contribution : « Empty Boxes? Modeling the Lost and Ephemeral in Premodern Sacred Spaces », Rome, Bibliotheca Hertziana, 29-30 mai 2025, date limite le 15 juin 2024

Premodern sacred space was never in stasis. It was moving, active, and filled with materials, objects, sounds, and people that combined to create an atmosphere of the sacred and, sometimes, the miraculous. As space in flux by definition, the sedimented temporality of devotion – ie. the fundamental composition of the space over time – poses many difficulties for historical modeling, conservation, and restoration practices, against the backdrop of the dramatic changes that spaces, installations, and...

In order to capture the variety of the phenomenon we decided to exclude the...

Parution : Philippe Plagnieux et Anne-Orange Poilpré (dir.), L’église microcosme Architecture, objets et images au Moyen Âge, Histo.art, Paris, Éditions de la Sorbonne, 2023

L’église médiévale est le lieu d’une synthèse artistique qui mobilise toutes les techniques et formes visuelles pour dialoguer avec l’architecture et son espace. L’intérêt du christianisme pour la production d’images, notamment figurées, pour les objets et pour la construction de bâtiments à la monumentalité recherchée, fait aussi du lieu ecclésial un espace habité, structuré et dynamique. Les contributions réunies dans ce volume abordent en quatre volets thématiques la manière dont le décor, les objets, les...
