Thomas Coomans Life Inside the cloister
understanding monastic architecture: tradition, reformation, adaptive reuse
Sacred architecture as reality and metaphor in secularised Western society. Christian monasteries and convents, built throughout Europe for the best part of 1,500 years, are now at a crossroads. This study attempts to understand the sacred architecture of monasteries as a process of the tangible and symbolic organisation of space and time for religious communities. Despite the weight of seemingly immutable monastic tradition, architecture has contributed to developing specific religious identities...

Cultural mediation in Europe, 1800-1950
International exchange in European cultural life in the 19th and 20th centuries From the early nineteenth century till the middle of the twentieth century, cultures in Europe were primarily national.

Stephan Dusil Wissensordnungen des Rechts im Wandel
Päpstlicher Jurisdiktionsprimat und Zölibat zwischen 1000 und 1215
Die Studie untersucht die Ordnung des mittelalterlichen Rechtswissens in vorgratianischen Sammlungen, dem Decretum Gratiani sowie den Glossen und Summen zum Dekret. Im Mittelpunkt steht also das kirchenrechtliche Wissen, das sich zwischen 1000 und 1215 grundlegend änderte: Während kirchliche Rechtsregeln um 1000 in Kanonessammlungen linear gespeichert waren, wurden sie im 12. Jahrhundert zu komplexem Rechtswissen miteinander verknüpft. Auf Basis einer umfassenden Auswertung der handschriftlichen...

Thamy Ayouch Psychanalyse et hybridité
genre, colonialité, subjectivations
Le discours psychanalytique aux sujets non majoritaires, minorisés et altérisés Le genre, la langue et l'ethnicité sont souvent les catégories aveugles de certains discours psychanalytiques prétendant se déployer depuis la position, non située, de l'universel. La psychanalyse n'a toutefois pas pour vocation d'assigner des normes, ni au genres et sexualités, ni aux différences ethniques et culturelles. En posant la question du rapport du discours psychanalytique aux sujets non majoritaires,...

Maud Gonne Contrebande littéraire et culturelle à la Belle Époque
Le "hard labour" de Georges Eekhoud entre Anvers, Paris et Bruxelles
ision méconnue des relations interculturelles en Belgique à la Belle Époque Romancier bien connu du panthéon littéraire belge, Georges Eekhoud (1854-1927) ne s'est pas limité aux pratiques d'auteur prestigieuses et à la langue française. Son « hard labour » quotidien - comme il le qualifiait lui-même - de chroniqueur bilingue et de feuilletoniste anonyme franchissait continuellement les frontières linguistiques et nationales. Tantôt douanier, tantôt contrebandier, il a colporté, adapté...
