Locating
medieval Conques within a network of abbeys characterized by administrative,
political or artistic relations; understanding Conques’ treasury as a means to
manifest claims connecting the abbey to the major centers of Christianity;
studying the long durée of Conques’ heritage within the broader framework of 19th century national heritage building as well as that of the 20th
century tourism industry; analyzing the architecture of the abbey as a complex
organism whose transformations are conditioned by the period eye of each
historical phase – these are just four examples of “Scaling Conques”. In
continuity with the last conference highlighting interdisciplinary perspectives
we will reflect on the design of our research in order to understand what it
means to position Conques in the Global World as well as in a timeframe ranging
from the central middle ages until today.
This conference is organized as a part of the project "Conques in the Global World. Transferring Knowledge: From Material to Immaterial Heritage" (H2020_ MSCA-RISE 101007770) https://conques.eu/
