Lamento funebre e culture medievali
Andrea Ghidoni
Il lamento funebre è una istituzione culturale diffusa in quasi tutte le società umane, attraverso la quale si piange la morte di una persona considerata fondamentale per un individuo, una famiglia o una comunità. Esso si declina nelle culture come rito tradizionale ma anche come forma letteraria. Il Medioevo europeo ci ha lasciato un’ampia produzione di lamenti funebri nella poesia lirica, narrativa e religiosa. Sono testi scritti nelle […]

We would like to remember and pay tribute to Professor David Konstan (1940-2024), a dear friend to many of us in the emotions community. David was renowned as a classicist who made major contributions to the study of ancient Greek thought, psychology and ethics through pathbreaking publications on topics such as friendship, beauty, sin, and forgiveness. But through his work on emotions (The Emotions of the Ancient Greeks and In the Orbit of Love: Affection in Ancient Greece and Rome, among others), he also impacted fields far beyond the study of Greek and Roman antiquity – including medieval studies and the study of nonwestern cultures.
David took part in the EMMA conference, “Histoire intellectuelle des émotions, de l’Antiquité à nos jours” in Paris (2013), which brough together scholars working in diverse disciplines (from psychology to history to philosophy), time periods (antiquity to modernity) and cultures (Greece, Rome, China, and Europe). His great personal warmth and mischievous wit brought much joy and laughter to our gathering, and the connections he forged there and at other events led to many further cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary collaborations in the study of emotions. David organized several such events himself, including a conference that brought together scholars of Greco-Roman and Chinese traditions (resulting in the publication, Emotions Across Cultures) and – more ambitiously – a series of events that fostered conversation on the conceptualization of emotions among specialists of twelve different classical languages, from Hebrew, Sanskrit and Arabic to Mayan and Sumerian. These projects speak to David’s boundless intellectual energy, his open mind and heart, and his interest in connecting with scholars from many different backgrounds.
Those who knew him know that David’ interest in such topics as love, friendship and beauty was not just academic. His affection, generosity, and joyful embracement of life brought legions into his orbit of love, and reminded us of the beauty to be found in our connections with one another. David inspired so many of us not only with his scholarship, but also with the force of his humanity, and his luminous presence will always remain in our hearts.
Sensi ed emozioni contribuiscono da anni ad arricchire la ricerca storica consentendo di rivisitare, con uno sguardo rivolto anche all’antropologia, l’esperienza di vita di donne e uomini del passato; un universo percettivo e affettivo che, in una molteplicità di contesti, apre a diversi paesaggi sonori o olfattivi, così come a […]
J’ai eu la chance de pouvoir parler d’émotions collectives et de la Pataria milanaise à la Sapienza, sur l’invitation du prof. Umberto Longo. C’est la première fois que je parlais à une salle pleine d’étudiants italiens… Je crois que notre travail intéresse ici… GRAND MERCI Umberto pour l’invitation, et à Antonio Musarra pour les photos !!!
De plus, j’ai eu un grand plaisir d’exposer où je suis arrivée au bout de 3 mois et un peu plus, avec mon projet de livre : si à mon arrivée à Rome, j’avais la pâte qui me collait encore aux mains, là j’ai un pain bien formé à mettre au four !!! La cuisson sera encore un bon bout de temps… mais quelle joie ! Gratitude pour ces mois extraordinaires à l’EFR.
Ho avuto la fortuna di parlare delle emozioni collettive e della Pataria milanese alla Sapienza, invitata per Umberto Longo. È la prima volta che parlavo in italiano a una sala piena di studenti ! Mi sembrava che nostro lavora gli ha interessati. GRAZIE, Umberto per l’invito, Antonio Musarra per le foto !!!
Di più, ho avuto il piacere immenso di esponere dove sono arrivata dopo 3 mesi a Roma col mio progetto di libro. Se quando sono arrivata a Roma l’impasto mi si appiccicava ancora alle mani, ora ho una pagnotta ben formata da mettere in forno! Ci vorrà molto tempo per la cottura… ma che gioia! Tutta la mia gratitudine per questi mesi straordinari all’EFR.

Possono le emozioni conferire identità e significato ai luoghi? E a loro volta i luoghi sono rappresentativi degli stati emotivi individuali e collettivi di chi li pratica? E che tipo di testimonianze e tracce documentali ne hanno lasciato nell’iconografia e nel lessico delle fonti?
Partendo da questi interrogativi e da visuali tematiche e temporali assai diverse tra loro, che spaziano dall’archeologia al cinema, dal linguaggio dell’arte alla storia, gli autori dei diversi contributi propongono una serie di casi studio in cui la dimensione culturale e performativa delle emozioni va a intrecciarsi con la storia sociale dei processi di configurazione dello spazio urbano.
Il libro include anche un’intervista al land artist Saype, famoso per le sue incredibili realizzazioni di ‘affresco’ della natura in luoghi-simbolo di città come Parigi, Istanbul e New York.

Voici le dernier numéro de la revue Memini. Travaux et documents, de la Société des Études Médiévales du Québec, dont la partie thématique a été concoctée par Xavier Biron-Ouellet et votre serviteur, à partir du séminaire en ligne tenu pendant la pandémie (2020-21) et consacré à l’histoire de l’expérience.
Comprise comme étude de la mise en forme, nécessairement subjective et culturelle, de ce qui est vécu sur le plan corporel, sensoriel, émotionnel et cognitif, la notion d’expérience permet de ne pas séparer l’émotion du sensoriel, le corporel du cognitif…
Voici la table des matières du numéro :
voici un magnifique colloque sur les figures du désir - comme par antidote aux crises que nous vivons, organisé par Agostino Paravicini Bagliani et Pietro Silanos.
et le programme !
L’existence de la sphère ou de l’espace publics, ainsi que celle de l’opinion publique, sont encore souvent considérées comme des phénomènes propres à la modernité. À une époque où le triomphe de l’ordre néolibéral entraîne l’érosion politique, juridique et pratique de ce qui peut être public et commun, il est urgent de se pencher sur les expériences de la res publica et à leurs conditions de possibilité à d’autres époques – enfin, sur ce qui les fait exister et perdurer.
Les médiévistes à l’origine de ce projet proposent de travailler en deux directions pour dépasser un débat souvent trop concentré sur la définition et la genèse d’un phénomène supposément moderne. D’une part, focaliser avant tout sur les modalités des expériences mises en œuvre; d’autre part, s’aventurer en amont de cette chronologie pour relire les propositions modernes dans une perspective de longue durée. Il s’agira ainsi de mettre de l’avant les débats, les discussions et leurs modalités d’un côté, l’enquête contextuelle autour des notions impliquant une publicité de l’autre.
Parmi les thèmes explorés dans le séminaire:
Les deux premières séances proposent une enquête conceptuelle préalable sur les théorisations de l’espace public dans les sciences sociales et les études médiévales, ainsi qu’une enquête archéologique sur le vocabulaire du public et du commun dans les sources du Moyen Âge.
Ensuite, nous proposons des séances pour discuter de travaux en cours, de sources, ou de lectures proposées par les participant.e.s.

Rhetoric is an engine of social discourse and the art charged with generating and swaying emotion. The history of rhetoric provides a continuous structure by which we can measure how emotions were understood, articulated, and mobilized under various historical circumstances and social contracts. This book is about how rhetoric in the West, from Late Antiquity to the later Middle Ages, represented the role of emotion in shaping persuasions. It is the first book-length study of medieval rhetoric and the emotions, coloring that rhetorical history between about 600 CE and the cusp of early modernity. Rhetoric in the Middle Ages, as in other periods, constituted the gateway training for anyone engaged in emotionally persuasive writing. Medieval rhetorical thought on emotion has multiple strands of influence and sedimentations of practice. The earliest and most persistent tradition treated emotional persuasion as a property of surface stylistic effect, which can be seen in the medieval rhetorics of poetry and prose, and in literary production. But the impact of Aristotelian rhetoric, which reached the Latin West in the thirteenth century, gave emotional persuasion a core role in reasoning, incorporating it into the key device of proof, the enthymeme. In Aristotle, medieval teachers and writers found a new rhetorical language to explain the social and psychological factors that affect an audience. With Aristotelian rhetoric, the emotions became political. The impact of Aristotle’s rhetorical approach to emotions was to be felt in medieval political treatises, in poetry, and in preaching.
