Colloque : Using the Past for the Present : Medieval Narratives in Modern Political and Religious Discourse

Le colloque “Using the Past for the Present : Medieval Narratives in Modern Political and Religious Discourse” aura lieu les 28-29 mars 2025 à la John Cabot University (Vial della Lungara 233, Rome).

The conference aims to discuss the use of history for political and religious purposes, more specifically, the use of medieval narratives and traditions in the construction of political and religious visions in the modern era. Given the centrality of the Middle Ages in the development and dissemination of narratives aimed at the creation–or denial–of national and religious identities, the effects of which are long-lasting and touch the contemporary world as well, the conference aspires to re-discuss the importance of analyzing and understanding the past, especially the “medieval” past, in constructing the present.

The event is sponsored by John Cabot University’s Office of the President, Department of History and Humanities and the Guarini Institute, and co-sponsored by the Democracy Institute of the Central European University, Budapest/Vienna.

Parution : Medievalism and Slavic Popular Culture

Anna Czarnowus et Laurel Ryan, Medievalism and Slavic Popular Culture, ARC Humanities, coll. “Arc Medievalist”, 2025.

Although scholars are increasingly engaged with medievalism as a global phenomenon, its manifestations in the popular cultures of East and Central Europe are relatively unexamined. In a period of regional unrest, invocations of the medieval in Slavic regions are often political. Politicians use the past for nationalistic reasons. Popular renderings, such as animated films, can also appeal to nationalist sentiment. Yet, although medievalist appeals have been fundamental to official myths of nation-formation, they are also integral to countercultural ideologies. Medieval fantasy literature has traditionally provided one such nexus. More recently, medievalism has emerged in carnivalesque elements of pop punk music. Medievalisms also exist in the play spaces of reenactments of medieval life and combat. Yet even in play, these acts are never neutral: controlling the story of the past always has consequences in the now.

Appel à communications : Les médiévalismes à la marge. Mise en scène des mémoires médiévales en dehors de l’Europe occidentale

Le colloque “Medievalisms of the Margins. Staging Medieval Memories in Outside Western Europe / Les médiévalismes à la marge. Mise en scène des mémoires médiévales en dehors de l’Europe occidentale“, organisé par Tatiana Victoroff (Université de Strasbourg), Thomas Mohnike (Université de Strasbourg), Giuseppina Giuliano (University of Salerno), Yordan Lyutskanov (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) et Alexander Medvedev (independent scholar), aura lieu à l’Université de Strasbourg du 27 au 29 mars 2025.

Date limite d’envoi des propositions : 20 juin 2024.

[Appel en français ci-dessous]

Since the 19th century, the Middle Ages have often been made up of mythemes such as castles, forests, princesses, knights and unicorns, which may meet populations living in the desert to the south, decadence or barbarism to the east and savage Vikings to the north on the margins, but the latter act as representatives of the Other, the Stranger. Indeed, these imaginative geographies reflect the European geopolitical and cultural situation of the 19th century, with France and Great Britain at the centre and the rest of Europe in the periphery and even on the margins. In the fictional medieval world, these geographies have changed little to the present day, even when adapted for use in new media. However, from these supposed margins, writers, artists and other cultural mediators have launched projects to update and reuse medieval sources and ideas for their own cultural, aesthetic and political projects. This conference aims to explore the medieval strategies of authors from Eastern, Central and Northern and what was later called East-Central Europe, who often construct their visions of the Middle Ages in tension with the dominant discourses of medievalism.

We are particularly interested in studies that cross the boundaries of traditional disciplines and propose case studies in which actors, artefacts or media from different parts of these supposed margins interact. Such studies might, for example, focus on the function of the Byzantine and Muslim worlds, since the imagined encounter with actors from an even more distant East often serves as an incentive for the dramatic logic of national myths.

Paper proposals of 250-300 words should be supplemented by 5-7 keywords and 3-5 particularly relevant references.

Proposals should be sent before 20th of June 2024 to lge-medievalism2025 [at] unistra.fr

***

Depuis le XIXe siècle, le Moyen Âge est souvent constitué de mythèmes tels que châteaux, forêts, princesses, chevaliers et licornes, qui peuvent rencontrer à la marge des populations vivant dans le désert au sud, la décadence ou la barbarie à l’est et les sauvages vikings au nord, mais ces derniers agissent comme des représentants de l’Autre, de l’Étranger. En effet, ces géographies imaginatives reflètent la situation géopolitique et culturelle européenne du XIXe siècle, avec la France et la Grande-Bretagne au centre et le reste de l’Europe à la périphérie, voire en marge. Dans le monde médiéval fictif, ces géographies ont peu changé jusqu’à aujourd’hui, même lorsqu’elles sont adaptées aux nouveaux médias. Cependant, à partir de ces marges supposées, des écrivains, des artistes et d’autres médiateurs culturels ont lancé des projets visant à actualiser et à réutiliser les sources et les idées médiévales pour leurs propres projets culturels, esthétiques et politiques. Cette conférence vise à explorer les stratégies médiévales des auteurs de l’Est, du Centre et du Nord de l’Europe et de ce qui a été appelé plus tard l’Europe centrale et orientale, qui construisent souvent leurs visions du Moyen Âge en tension avec les discours dominants du médiévalisme.

Nous sommes particulièrement intéressés par les études qui dépassent les frontières des disciplines traditionnelles et proposent des études de cas dans lesquelles interagissent des acteurs, des artefacts ou des médias provenant de différentes parties de ces marges supposées. De telles études pourraient, par exemple, se concentrer sur la fonction des mondes byzantin et musulman, puisque la rencontre imaginée avec des acteurs d’un Orient encore plus lointain sert souvent d’incitation à la logique dramatique des mythes nationaux.

Les propositions d’articles de 250 à 300 mots doivent être complétées par 5 à 7 mots-clés et 3 à 5 références particulièrement pertinentes.

Les propositions de communication sont à envoyer avant le 20 juin 2024 à lge-medievalism2025 [at] unistra.fr

Tatiana Victoroff (Université de Strasbourg)

Tatiana Victoroff est maître de conférences (HDR) en littérature comparée à l’Université de Strasbourg.

Elle est l’auteur de l’ouvrage Anna Akhmatova. Requiem pour l’Europe (Infolio, 2010) et de multiples travaux sur le renouveau du genre du mystère aux XIXe-XXIe siècles, depuis sa thèse (Typologie du genre du Mystère dans les dramaturgies anglaise et russe de la 1ère moitié du XX siècle : Ch. Williams, D. Sayers, Ch. Fry et E. Kuzmina-Karavaeva), jusqu’à l’ouvrage Mystère en Europe, de Mallarmé à Brodsky (à paraitre aux éditions Classiques Garnier). La résurgence du mystère est analysée dans ses formes théâtrales (Mallarmé, Hofmannsthal, P. Claudel, T.-S. Eliot, F. Lorca, A. Blok), musicales (R. Wagner, A. Scriabine, C. Debussy), picturales (J. Delville, N. Roerich, W. Kandinsky), chorégraphiques (A. Benois, R. Steiner, P. Valéry), cinématographiques (S. Eisenstein, W. Wenders, A. Tarkovsky) et, dans la modernité la plus récente, à la croisée de tous les arts chez Bill Viola.

Elle s’intéresse également au phénomène du médiévalisme  dans les pays d’Europe de l’Est, en particulier dans l’œuvre de Venko Andanovski et Lászlo Krasznahorkai mais aussi autour de la « fantasy slave » qui se développe dans le sillage du Seigneur des Anneaux de Tolkien et du Trône de fer de George R.R. Martin.   

Elle est l’auteur de la notice sur « La Russie » dans le Dictionnaire du Moyen Age imaginaire. Le médiévalisme, hier et aujourd’hui (sous la dir. de Anne Besson, William Blanc et Vincent Ferré, Vendémiaire, 2022), ainsi que d’articles sur les travaux théoriques des émigrés russes sur le médiévalisme en Europe (Eugène Vinaver, George Fedotov, Mirra Loth-Borodina).
