Journées d’étude : « Small Forms in Circulation », Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 28-30 novembre 2024

This conference investigates how the movement of brief, compressed, and otherwise small forms ranging from early modern pamphlets to counterculture magazines shape the development of diverse publics, as well as the interplay between them. Talks will explore the relationship between small textual and material forms and their publics through three related strands of inquiry: how infrastructures affect the circulation of small forms, how practices including remediation enable their circulation, and how the circulation of small...

Journée d’étude : « Culture matérielle du religieux : des objets de piété aux objets de consommation courante », 30 septembre 2023

De récents travaux d’historiens ont creusé un sillon prometteur pour une analyse des sociétés à partir des objets qu’elles consomment, et notamment des objets religieux par destination. Dénués à priori de toute sacralité, ces biens de consommation courante (vêtements, mobilier, loisirs, …) peuvent devenir des marqueurs de religiosité à l’origine d’un prosélytisme consumériste et de querelles de nature religieuse. Les divers univers religieux ont été concernés par ces pratiques avec une multiplication et une diversification...

Colloque : « Travelling Objects, Travelling People: Art and Artists of Late-Medieval and Renaissance Iberia and Beyond, c. 1400–1550 », en ligne, 10-11 décembre 2020

Parution : Caroline Walker Bynum, Dissimilar Similitudes: Devotional Objects in Late Medieval Europe, Princeton University Press, 2020

Between the twelfth and the sixteenth centuries, European Christians used in worship a plethora of objects, not only prayer books, statues, and paintings but also pieces of natural materials, such as stones and earth, considered to carry holiness, dolls representing Jesus and Mary, and even bits of consecrated bread and wine thought to be miraculously preserved flesh and blood. Theologians and ordinary worshippers alike explained, utilized, justified, and warned against some of these objects, which...

Appel à communication : « Collecting and Display of Small, Portable Objects (15th–17th century) », RSA 2021, date limite le 30 juillet 2020

Session du Congrès de la Renaissance Society of America – Dublin, 7-10 avril 2021 The taste for small objects, such as gems, jewels, coins, small antiquities, statuettes and miniature works of art is evident in leading collections from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries. The materiality of small precious objects and their portability raise questions about the dynamics and the reasons behind the taste for small things, addressing concepts of intimacy, privacy and public access in...

Appel à communication : « Re-Telling the Italian Renaissance », Londres, Institut Courtauld, date limite le 28 janvier 2019

Same Old Things? Re-Telling the Italian Renaissance Courtauld Institute of Art London, May 3, 2019 Deadline: Jan 28, 2019 Even today, the history of art is largely dominated by narratives that are for the most part style-based. They tell a story that is teleological, ever-progressive, and structured around influential artistic centres. Within this framework, the role of individual objects shifts depending on how they fit into the broader narrative that they articulate visually. By focusing...
