L'Association des Étudiant.e.s Diplômé.e.s du Département d'Histoire de l'Université de Montréal organise son Colloque étudiant annuel. Vous trouverez l’appel en pièce jointe et la page Facebook ici : https://www.facebook.com/colloqueaeddhum 

Nous encourageons les étudiant.e.s d’autres universités à participer et acceptons des communications en français et en anglais. Celles et ceux qui désirent envoyer leur candidature devront le faire avant le 20 janvier 2024 au aeddhum.colloque@gmail.com. 

Le colloque aura lieu à l’Université de Montréal le 13, 14 et 15 mars 2024. Ayant pour thème « Dissonances et dilemmes en histoire: Penser les échelles de la complexité humaine, » le colloque offre l’occasion d’interroger ce que l’humain, comme objet d’étude inépuisable et penseur de sa propre histoire, comporte de discordant, voire d’irréconciliable. Admettre la difficulté de ramener l’humain à l’unité constitue déjà un point d’appui que nous regardons comme stimulant.  

Si vous avez d’autres questions, n’hésitez pas à nous contacter.   

Merci!

L'Institut d'Etudes Ancienne et Médievales de l'Université Laval aura le plaisir de recevoir Elisa Brilli, professeure au Department of Italian Studies à l'Université de Toronto, pour un séminaire intitulé: « Un pari biographique. La vie de Dante entre histoire et littérature ». Vendredi 19 janvier 2024, 15h30

· Séminaire, 15h30-17h30, DKN-5242

· Galette, vers 18h, mezzanine du 5e, devant le 5242

Pour plus d'informations sur le Séminaire de l'IÉAM, cliquez ici.

Voici un résumé de sa présentation : « Dante. Des vies nouvelles (Fayard, 2021; puis publié en Italien chez Carocci, 2021 et en anglais chez Reaktion Books-University of Chicago Press, 2023) visait moins à chroniquer la vie du poète Dante Alighieri qu'à soulever des questions essentielles, encore sans réponse. Comment un Florentin autodidacte sans statut professionnel est-il devenu l'auteur célèbre de la Divine Comédie ? Comment Dante s'est-il imposé en tant que protagoniste principal dans ses œuvres, dans un contexte littéraire qui déconseillait de ce faire, et comment son impressionnant récit de soi a-t-il affecté sa vie réelle ? Pourquoi sa vie a-t-elle intéressé tant de lecteurs ? De plus, dans quelle mesure les récits de vie tissés par Dante influencent-ils encore aujourd'hui la recherche ? Brilli et Milani ont réévalué la vie de Dante et ses autoportraits pour répondre à ces questions, évaluant les preuves archivistiques et littéraires en dialogue avec les recherches les plus récentes. Ce faisant, leur livre a proposé un modèle de nouvelle biographie interdisciplinaire, aussi fascinant que rigoureux. À l'occasion de la parution de la traduction anglaise, Brilli reconsidère cette entreprise pour dévoiler ses origines et discuter de sa fortune, de ses limites et de ses orientations futures. »
