    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. »

    The Centre for Medieval Studies Convivium Series presents Claudio Cataldi

    When and Where

    Friday, October 27, 2023 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm

    3rd Floor, Lillian Massey, 125 Queen's Park, Toronto

    Or on Zoom (please register for the link)

    Speakers

    Claudio Cataldi (Università Kore di Enna)

    Description

    The Dictionary of Old English and Practices of Commentary present:

    Claudio Cataldi (Università Kore di Enna): The Bodley Glossaries

    Abstract: The Bodley Glossaries represent the last outcome of the rich tradition of early medieval English glossography. At the same time, the four glossaries in Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS 730 bear witness to the multi-lingual environment of early thirteenth-century England. On the occasion of the first full edition of the Bodley Glossaries (PIMS, 2023), this talk is devoted to their contents: lexical interpretamenta, long commentary glosses, batches of Biblical entries, animal sounds, and glosses to a Hiberno-Latin poem. This presentation of the Bodley Glossaries will be set in the context of the development of early English lexicography, from its beginnings to the post-Conquest period.
