[Appel à candidatures] École d’Été MUSEO-POLIS. Museum, democracy and citizenship in Southern Europe (deadline : 25 mars 2022)

L’Institut Sociétés en Mutation en Méditerranée (SoMuM) apporte son soutien à l’École d’été « MUSEO-POLIS, Museum, democracy and citizenship in Southern Europe » qui aura lieu à Marseille, au MUCEM, du 22 au 24 juin 2022.

Cette École d’été est inscrite dans le programme doctoral « Études méditerranéennes » de SoMuM.

Presentation

From a multidisciplinary perspective, with a constant enquiry into its Early Modern origins, this Summer School proposes to analyse the history of the relationship between museum and democracy in the course of the 19th-21st centuries in Southern Europe, with an emphasis on the study of museum institutions and their links with the regime of popular sovereignty from which they emanate, taking into account the diversity of these imaginaries and of democratic systems in a transnational perspective. The geographical and cultural space of Southern Europe offers a privileged field of study, since the diversity of the experiences of democratic ruptures and transitions in the 20th century allows us to observe the challenges and the ways in which museums act in the contemporary re-foundation of democratic citizenship.

Practical modalities

Places: limited, max. 25.

The Summer School is aimed primarily at Master’s students, doctoral and post-doctoral students, as well as professionals from the cultural sector.

The seminar will take place at Mucem’s premises.

English and the natural language of the participants (French, Spanish, Italian) will be used to promote multilingualism.
