The Sewanee Medieval Colloquium invites abstracts for papers engaging with privilege and position in global medieval cultures. Possibilities might include the histories of ecclesiastical or royal hierarchy, the production of artistic forms, analysis of international trade, the literature of class, status, or caste identity, the structures of visual or musical composition, ordering of public space, and popular medievalism, but we are open to many variations on the general theme.

The project SCISMA together with École française de Rome and the Finnish Institute in Rome organizes a workshop discussing the ways in which the religious communities in Rome reacted to the peculiar circumstances created by the Schism. In many cases, the Roman religious communities were forced to rethink their loyalties in a precarious situation between the two, and finally three, papal obediences. They were faced with fluctuating economic conditions, frequent military threats to the city, and, potentially, the questioning of their authority in religious matters. However, the Schism also created opportunities and intimated that a brighter future might lay ahead for those enduring the present tribulations. It is the intention of this conference to bring together academics working on different religious communities in Rome, to increase dialogue and exchange, in order to help better understand the effects of the Schism in the city.

La question d’un lien entre le choix d’une forme matérielle et de possibles usages ou fonctions spécifiques de l’écrit se trouve au cœur du projet ROTULUS. D’emblée, en embrassant le corpus en cours de construction lors des opérations liées à la constitution de l’inventaire des cartulaires-rouleaux conservés en France, deux premiers constats chiffrés invite à proposer des hypothèses : un premier groupe de manuscrits concerne des rouleaux réalisés pour regrouper des dossiers relatifs à des conflits ; et de façon plus large, on constate un usage privilégié du cartulaire-rouleau dans le milieu monastique et, au sein de celui-ci, pour des dossiers relatifs à des dépendances monastiques.
