Renaissance Ecologies – 7th Conference of the Nordic Network for Renaissance Studies.
Conference organised by the Early Modern Seminar at the Faculty of Arts, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, 8-10 October, 2026
Established in recent decades as a research area in its own right, the study of ecology in the Renaissance has diversified into several distinct but related fields. The conference aims at taking stock of the broad range of meanings, creating conversations between the existing areas and inquiring into possible directions onward. We suggest a range of both literal and more metaphorical conceptions of ‘ecology’ in which nature, broadly defined, may be considered both an object of study and an agent of change or stasis. The relationship between humans on the one hand and climate and the animate world on . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « Métamorphoses du récit dans la peinture contemporaine » (Bordeaux, 17 octobre 2025)
Alors que la Figuration narrative portait volontiers un discours politique, la Figuration libre a plutôt utilisé le récit comme dispositif de mise en abyme du médium pictural, permettant de revendiquer une appartenance contemporaine. Depuis les années 2000, la nouvelle génération de peintres figuratifs assume plus directement le médium et porte plus ouvertement des discours mettant en valeur la pluralité des appartenances et des identités. Ce nouveau retour à la peinture s’accompagne-t-il d’un renouvellement des récits portés par la peinture ou des discours sur la pratique picturale ?
Les propositions pourront interroger la notion même de retour, avec en France au moins trois occurrences depuis une quarantaine d’années : au début des années 1980 . . . → En lire plus
