Turning Points in the Nineteenth Century (Birmingham, 17-20 Jul 25)

University of Birmingham, UK, Jul 17–20, 2025 Deadline: Mar 1, 2025

 

Cultural Circulations, Global Mobilities, and Knowledge Translations.

The nineteenth century witnessed an unprecedented acceleration and densification of human movements that generated, perhaps for the first time, cultural circulations on a global scale. With the world more interconnected than it had ever been, the need to classify, translate and hierarchise knowledge became more pressing than ever.

For its 2025 world congress to be held at the University of Birmingham from 17 to 20 July 2025, the Society for Global Nineteenth-Century Studies places mobility centre-stage, exploring the means through which it was implemented: through travel, exploration and conquest, which in turn led to processes of translation, acculturation and superimposition . . . → En lire plus

5th Colloquium of Textile and Fashion Researchers (Barcelona, 6-7 Nov 25)

Barcelona Design Museum, Nov 6–07, 2025 Deadline: Mar 31, 2025

Luxury in Fabrics and Fashion.

The Design History Foundation and Catalonia’s textile museums announce their 5th Colloquium of Textile and Fashion Researchers, to be held at the Barcelona Design Museum on 6 and 7 November 2025.

This year’s theme is textiles and fashion as powerful instruments of social stratification and distinction. On the one hand, luxury has positioned itself at the service of the ruling classes by consolidating established, imposed hierarchies, although, on the other hand, it has also helped to blur and rewrite them. This is why the concept of luxury has been one of the best-guarded bastions by the privileged sectors, . . . → En lire plus

Byzance intime. Regards sur soi et sur l’autre : discours, pratiques, objets (Paris, 3-4 oct. 2025)

XVIe Rencontres internationales des jeunes byzantinistes, Paris, 3-4 octobre 2025 Byzance intime. Regards sur soi et sur l’autre : discours, pratiques, objets

(English version below)

Dès les années 1940, les travaux pionniers de Phaidon Koukoulès sur la vie quotidienne à Byzance ont ouvert la voie à un foisonnement d’études prenant l’intime et le privé comme objets d’histoire. Depuis, le nombre et la diversité des recherches n’ont fait que croître : des contributions d’Évelyne Patlagean sur l’enfance à celles de Martin Hinterberger sur les émotions, en passant par l’exposition Byzantine Hours, Works and Days. Everyday Life in Byzantium (Athènes – Thessalonique – Mistra, 2002), les études byzantines se sont emparées de sujets aussi variés que les contours de la sensibilité, le rapport au corps et l’archéologie du quotidien.

Vers une relance de l’enseignement de l’histoire de l’art dans l’enseignement secondaire en France

Le CFHA et l’APAHAU sont heureux de porter à la connaissance de la communauté cet extrait du discours du président de la République, Emmanuel Macron, au musée du Louvre, le 28 janvier 2025

 

« La Nouvelle Renaissance du Louvre doit en faire un Louvre des savoirs. Une des vocations premières d’un tel musée, devenu institution républicaine, en quelque sorte Musée monde, vous l’avez rappelé, c’est la transmission. Celle d’un nouveau récit, une sorte, si je puis m’autoriser cette comparaison, de « Lagarde et Michard » de l’histoire de l’art, avec la liberté de flâner, de rêver, de s’étonner. Alors, cela passera d’abord par une ambition redoublée en matière d’accès des plus jeunes. 450 000 élèves viennent chaque année au Louvre.

Concerning the topic:

Death is omnipresent. No one can escape it; it is among us and goes about its business as it sees fit. If one takes seriously the “memento mori” that we encounter in droves on tombstones and that is addressed to us, the (still) living, then one can see that this commingling of life and death is of central importance to human culture and has always had a significant impact on its art forms.
