Le Commerce du Luxe – Le Luxe du Commerce: Production, Exposition et Circulation
Musée Gadagne, Lyon, 21-23 November 2012

Le colloque international pluridisciplinaire Le commerce du luxe – Le luxe du commerce, organisé par le LARHRA (UMR 5190 Laboratoire de Recherche Historique Rhône-Alpes), se tiendra aux musées Gadagne, 1 place du petit Collège, à Lyon, les mercredi 21, jeudi 22 et vendredi 23 novembre 2012. Tant par le sujet, la date que le lieu choisis, le colloque prendra place, à part entière, dans les manifestations de l’Automne de la soie 2012. Nous voulons exprimer ainsi, de manière visible, l’engagement des historiens de l’Université de Lyon dans la valorisation de l’héritage des industries de la soie, industrie de luxe s’il en est, une des richesses emblématiques de la métropole rhodanienne.

Ces industries ont en effet fortement participé à la structuration de l’espace régional par les flux de capitaux, de matières et d’hommes qu’elles ont générés autour de la métropole lyonnaise dans une vaste zone couvrant totalement ou partiellement les départements de l’actuelle région Rhône-Alpes et même au-delà. Elles ont contribué à l’adaptation progressive des populations aux exigences de l’industrie, à l’accumulation de savoir-faire et au développement de l’esprit d’entreprise. Enfin, le commerce des soieries et celui des soies, dont les horizons ont très tôt dépassé les limites nationales, ont été des facteurs majeurs de l’ouverture de Lyon et de la région Rhône-Alpes aux horizons internationaux.

ARGUMENTAIRE

Comment se produisent, s’exposent, se diffusent et se consomment les produits du luxe ? Le but du colloque est de revenir sur la question de la spécialisation progressive d’un commerce voué aux objets précieux qui concourent à l’embellissement de la personne ou du cadre de vie. Il entend être une manifestation largement ouverte d’un point de vue chronologique, spatial et disciplinaire, faisant appel à des spécialistes d’horizons différents.

Cette approche interdisciplinaire du marché du luxe sur la longue durée, de la fin du Moyen Age à nos jours, permettra de confronter les expériences et de mettre en relief les permanences et les mutations. Le luxe a souvent été cantonné aux productions des beaux-arts ; il s’agira ici de montrer la richesse et la diversité de ce qui était (et reste) compris sous cette appellation et d’observer comment se sont progressivement mis en place des marchés spécialisés. Ce colloque développera trois approches spécifiques: la circulation spatiale du luxe (marchands et marchandises), l’économie du luxe (concevoir, produire, vendre), les circulations sociales du luxe (luxe et demi-luxe).

London’s Huguenot Heritage: A Colloquium in Honour of Robin Gwynn
Orange Street Congregational Church, London, 6 October 2012

Robin Gwynn is one of the most prolific and capable historians of the Huguenots in England, dealing (among other things) with patterns of migration, the nature of the Huguenot community, and the relationship between the Huguenots and their fellow citizens.  He has also sought to integrate the findings of his detailed research into a coherent overall picture, and to highlight the contribution of the refugees to English life, which (he has suggested) has traditionally been underestimated. Much of Dr Gwynn’s work has been on Huguenots in London, which makes London’s Huguenot Heritage an appropriate title for a conference to celebrate his achievements.

The conference takes place on Saturday, 6 October 2012, starting at 10:00am at the Orange Street Congregational Church, the site of the former Leicester Fields French Church (Orange Street, London WC2H 7HR). For details and a booking form click here»

Castles and Manor Houses in the Baltic Sea Region: Components of a European Cultural Heritage
Greifswald, 3-6 October 2012

The post-medieval castles and manors, up to the present, are a central piece of the cultural landscape of the Baltic Sea region. They are spread over altogether 10 countries: Germany, Poland, Russian region Kaliningrad, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The central theme of the symposium (Schlösser und Gutshäuser in der Ostseeregion: Bausteine einer Europäischen Kulturlandschaft) will be the characteristic architecture of castles and manor houses in the Baltic Sea region from the early modern period to the present. Furthermore the symposium will focus on history and cultural history. The functional, sociological and political differences and similarities of the manors of the landed gentry in the different countries will be analysed as well as the cooperation of architects and other artists. It will be examined if there is a transcultural history of art of castles and manor houses in the Baltic Sea region and, finally, how the reception and adoption of castles and manors in the different countries is proceeding.

We Need to Talk about ‘Things’: Concluding Colloquium
CRASSH, University of Cambridge, 27-28 September 2012

This year CRASSH has hosted a Graduate Research Group concerned with ‘Things: Material Cultures of the Long Eighteenth Century’. Our speakers have considered specific eighteenth-century objects ranging from coins to ships, porcelain to plants, from different disciplinary perspectives. We have discussed how these objects allow us to tell complex. inter-disciplinary stories about consumption, production and display in this period.  This colloquium pulls together the speakers and themes that have defined the series. The day will consist of several papers with invited responses, as well as space for discussion. The colloquium is preceded by a keynote lecture by Professor Ludmilla Jordanova  on Thursday evening, Talking about Things.

Both keynote lecture and colloquium talks on Friday 28 September are open to everyone. The lecture is free to attend and no registration is required. However, registration is required for the colloquium. The fee is £20 (including lunch and refreshments at the colloquium) with a reduced £10 charge for students. For information about the event and the graduate research group please contact Katy Barrett or Sophie Waring.

Emblems of Nationhood: Britishness 1707–1901, A Multidisciplinary Conference
University of St Andrews, 10-12 August 2012

National identity is a central point of enquiry that is repeatedly called upon in contemporary social and political rhetoric. Our conference, Emblems of Nationhood, 1707–1901, will address the roots of this theme by discussing depictions of Britain and Britishness in literature, philosophy, and art between the Act of Union in 1707 and the death of Queen Victoria in 1901. Over the course of this multidisciplinary conference, we aim to explore how expressions of nationalism have moulded both critical perspectives on national identity and their creative products.

Discussing emblems of nationhood in 2012 is a fitting way to mark the twentieth anniversary of Linda Colley’s seminal account of Britishness, Britons: Forging the Nation, and coincides with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Several broad questions could potentially  be explored in the course of the conference: What did Britishness mean in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and how was it represented and perceived? To what extent is nationalism tied with military events and empire building? How “British” was Britain before the launch of the Empire? How did concepts of nationalism enter the public consciousness, both within the British Isles and abroad? What is the impact of artistic and cultural depictions of Britain and Britishness in domestic and international contexts? How can these historical ideas of Britishness enhance our contemporary understanding of the concepts of nationalism and national identity?

Speakers include: Colin Kidd, Emma Major, Linda Colley, and Calum Colvin

Details on the full programme and registration are available at the conference website.

Curiously Drawn: Early Modern Science as a Visual Pursuit
Royal Society, London, 21-22 June 2012

Science produces some of the most intriguing and arresting images in modern culture, from wildlife photographs to scanning electron microscope images. Yet the historical links between scientific research and visual representation are not always apparent. This conference brings together historians of science and art in order to examine the relationship between science and visual culture in the first hundred years of the Royal Society. We hope that the meeting will demonstrate how art, artists, and print-makers enabled creativity and innovation in science, and the extent to which naturalists and natural philosophers, in turn, transformed visual resources and strategies into something of their own.

This meeting is supported by the AHRC as part of an international network on ‘Origins of science as a visual pursuit: the case of the early Royal Society’. Relevant printed books and manuscripts from the Royal Society’s collections will be on display during the meeting.
