Conference: Private Charters and Documentary Practice in the long 10th century, Rome, 18-20 April 2018

Atti privati e pratiche documentarie nel lungo X secolo / Private Charters and Documentary Practice in the long 10th century (ca.870-ca.1030), conference Rome 18-20 April 2018

On the occasion of the publication of the twelfth and final volume of the edition of the ninth century St.-Gall charters, the University of Groningen, the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and the Stiftsarchiv St. Gall are organizing a conference on the changes of documentary practice in the long tenth century in Europe. This conference is a follow-up to an earlier one (Die Privaturkunden der Karolingerzeit) on the continuation and spread of the Roman heritage of documentary-legal administration, taking into account, among other things, the standardizing tendencies of the Carolingian empire. This time we will be dealing with what happened when the different parts of the Carolingian empire started to diverge after 870.

Conference programme: VIII colloquium Ars Mediaevalis: Memory: Monument and Image in the Middle Ages

Date and Location: Aguilar de Campoo (Palencia), May 4th-6th 2018

Memory is a psychological faculty and an intellectual power that found its expression in the foundational and oft-repeated phrase of the Eucharistic celebration heard by all believers: “do this in remembrance of me”. Memory is projected onto ritual commemorations of the dead, funeral processions, anniversaries, liturgical celebrations and concerns all of the deceased, from the humblest to those who hold eminent institutional, religious or administrative positions, and, of course, the “special dead”, namely, the saints. It is not restricted to commemorating the deceased, whose presence is invoked by naming them in obituaries and in the objects associated with them. The latter were movable (liturgical vessels, manuscripts, ritual vestments, portable altars, trophies, objects associated with reliquaries and artistic patrons) or the fixed furnishings of buildings (reredoses, mural paintings, stained-glass windows, heraldic sculpture and, in particular, epigraphs and funerary monuments). By extension, the term memory was used in reference to the buildings or altars (e.g. cella memoriae) that sheltered these objects of such high sacred value.

 

Memory is at the heart of Augustinian epistemology, which believed that human reason is nourished by intelligence, love and memory. In the secular domain, memory played a central role in underpinning laws and institutions whose legitimacy depended on established customs. To establish the legal foundation of the present and future, lawmakers had to express the past and the certainty of the past.

 

This colloquium intends to analyze social memory as the process that enables society to renew and reform its understanding of the past so that it can be incorporated into the present, thus establishing a historical analogy in the narrative of the passing of time. Social memory includes liturgical memory, historiography, genealogy, oral tradition and other forms of cultural production and reproduction. Therefore, the colloquium’s aim, in particular, is to revisit the concept of cathedral memory, which includes all of those works, activities and uses of space that transmit over time the memory of important bishops, clerical dignitaries and laypeople and the origins and historical episodes in which they had played leading roles.

 

However, in each cathedral, the promotion of memory was incorporated into a communal setting in use over a long period of time and thus fostered diverse dynamics in terms of the interactions and intersections between the memory of the individual and/or the cooperative memory of social groups. Furthermore, mnemotechnic resources played a highly important role in adopting, storing, connecting, activating, modelling and reinventing the information and visual expressions received at a given moment in the past.

 

Memory, as contemporary psychology shows, is a dynamic process that transforms the past to such an extent that it creates new pasts. In fact, operative and dynamic memory is an exercise not so much in recognizing the past as an immutable reality but rather in reorganizing that past to the point of imagining it. Remembering always means connecting new stimuli (images, logical sequences, references, stories, etc.) that awaken this recollection with earlier information that has already been taken on board but stored away.Without the analogous links that adapt memories, it is impossible to integrate new events into a historical sequence. How did such assumptions affect the way in which images functioned during the Middle Ages? Where and when were architectural spaces composed to promote the gestation or remodelling of individual or institutional memories? This colloquium will provide a forum for analysis and debate regarding these fundamental questions of visual culture and medieval art.

Concference: L’espace sacre au sein de l’eglise medievale (Paris, 5-6 Jun 18)

Leave a reply

Conference: L’espace sacre au sein de l’eglise medievale

Maison Archéologie Ethnologie René Ginouvès – Université Paris Nanterre, June 5 – 06, 2018

« L’espace sacré au sein de l’Eglise médiévale » Colloque du 5 et 6 juin 2018 – Université Paris Nanterre – Maison Archéologie Ethonologie René Ginouvès 

Postulat : Les rites liturgiques articulent la structure matérielle d’un édifice ecclésiastique. De ce fait, chaque conception artistique participe à son aménagement. Reproduit sur un bloc de pierre – claveaux de grandes arcades ou chapiteaux – à partir d’objets sacrés comme les chancels, le motif sculpté aide à identifier un espace liturgique spécifique. Cette question de l’espace liturgique peut également être considérée à travers le prisme de l’objet liturgique. Plusieurs cérémonies se déroulent, en effet, en dehors du cadre bâti de l’église : les processions, les drames liturgiques ou encore une partie des funérailles. Les objets liturgiques ont alors pour fonction de transposer, en dehors de leur cadre habituel, les rites cultuels.
Ce colloque international, qui aura lieu les 5 et 6 juin 2018 dans les locaux de la Maison Archéologie et Ethnologie de René- Ginouvès (MAE), a pour objectif de mettre en présence jeunes chercheurs et spécialistes reconnus pour dresser un état de la question dans les travaux actuels. Deux thématiques rythmeront ces deux jours dans lesquelles seront regroupées les communications des intervenants.

Conference: Die Stuttgarter Apokalypse-Tafeln – Studientag an der Staatsgalerie Stuttgart (Stuttgart, 20/04/2018)

Leave a reply

csm_website_abb-1_d4053473a4

Eine Veranstaltung der Staatsgalerie Stuttgart und des Instituts für Kunstgeschichte der Universität Stuttgart:

Zwei Hauptwerke unserer Sammlung waren in den letzten Monaten Gegenstand eines interdisziplinären Forschungsprojekts: die »Stuttgarter Apokalypse-Tafeln«, die um 1332/34 in Neapel geschaffen wurden. Detailreich und originell schildern sie die Visionen der Endzeit aus dem biblischen Buch der Offenbarung.

Erstmals haben nun Kunsthistoriker, Restauratoren und Naturwissenschaftler gemeinsam zu den Tafeln geforscht. Ihre Ergebnisse präsentieren sie in dem Band »Die Stuttgarter Apokalypse-Tafeln«, der im März 2018 erscheint (80 Seiten, 69 farbige Abbildungen, Sandstein Verlag, Dresden, 19,90 € im Museumsshop). Mit großformatigen Farbtafeln und Detailaufnahmen zeigt das Buch, wie der Künstler zu seinen Bilderfindungen gelangte und durch seine raffinierte Maltechnik, verbunden mit kostbaren Materialien, die Wirkung der Gemälde steigerte. Neue Erkenntnisse zu Auftraggeber und Funktion verorten die Tafeln in der Hofkultur des Königs Robert von Anjou in Neapel.

Studientag

Am 20.4.2018, 10.00–17.00 Uhr, veranstalten die Staatsgalerie und das Institut für Kunstgeschichte der Universität Stuttgart einen internationalen Studientag mit Beiträgen renommierter Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus dem In- und Ausland.

23rd Annual Medieval Postgraduate Student Colloquium: Collecting (in) the Middle Ages, The Courtauld Institute of Art, 16 February 2018

23rd Annual Medieval Postgraduate Student Colloquium: Collecting (in) the Middle Ages, The Courtauld Institute of Art, 16 February 2018

Free, booking required

The Courtauld Institute of Art’s 23rd Annual Medieval Postgraduate Colloquium invites speakers to consider the nature of medieval collections, the context of their creation and fruition, and their legacy – or disappearance – in the present.

Existing approaches to the subject help to understand the formation, dispersal, and reassembly of groupings of objects. However, broadening the scope of what a medieval collection is can open new paths of exploration. From immense palace networks to single-volume manuscripts, a wide range of objects can pose complex and exciting questions regarding how physical and conceptual similarity and proximity shaped making and meaning in the Middle Ages.

The Medieval Postgraduate Colloquium offers the opportunity for research students at all levels from universities across the UK and abroad to present and promote their research.

Organised by Costanza Beltrami (The Courtauld Institute of Art / The Auckland Project) and Maggie Crosland (The Courtauld Institute of Art) with the generous support of The Sackler Research Forum.
