Le séminaire doctoral de l’IHRIM-Lyon 3, organisé par le groupe de travail GADGES sous le titre Lire par morceaux. Lectures et lecteurs de recueils et d’anthologies (xvie-xviiie siècle) a développé, pour l’année 2017-2018, trois axes de réflexion complémentaires sur ces objets littéraires singuliers : projets et prescriptions ; énonciation et disposition ; publics et publication (voir les archives sur les carnets hypothèse en ligne à l’adresse : https://recueils.hypotheses.org/).

La littérature et les arts sont des produits d’échanges et de dialogues entre cultures. Ils sont produits également grâce aux interactions avec les objets culturels de périodes antérieures.
For centuries, religious perspectives have informed understandings of and approaches to health and illness. As Kathlyn Conway has written, ‘In the Western world, before modern advances in medicine, when little was available in the way of cure, the story of Christianity was often the lens through which illness was viewed. It suggested that people do not control but must accept their fate and that suffering has meaning: it was the path to redemption’ (Illness and the Limits of Expression, p. 12).
This seminar will provide a forum for new approaches to medieval and early modern studies. Scholars from a range of disciplines will share work-in-progress on the inaugural theme of “what is the premodern?” The aim is to explore how presumptions of a rupture between the past and the present have shaped scholarship across the humanities and social sciences, and to consider how the interests and characteristics of premodern cultures reflect on, or even connect to, our own. We welcome submissions on these questions from all fields of premodern studies.

PRESENTATION
Objects have always been considered in relation to their economic value and/or purpose; if one of these two is missing they are meaningless, they are just things. Things hold no value in their markets; they are ‘obstinately solitary, superficial and self-evident’ (Lamb, The Things Things Say, 2011).
Proposals for this thematic issue of our journal, presently in its 50th year in print, will examine the experience of being explored. Contributions will ideally feature the perspective of exploration through first-hand accounts and develop a critical engagement with the subject matter that also elevates typically underrepresented voices, perspectives, and experiences within the context of exploration history.
