Sommario/riassunto

Saints and Signs analyzes a corpus of hagiographies, paintings, and other materials related to four of the most prominent saints of early modern Catholicism: Ignatius of Loyola, Philip Neri, Francis Xavier, and Therese of Avila.Verbal and visual documents - produced between the end of the Council of Trent (1563) and the beginning of the pontificate of Urban VIII (1623) - are placed in their historical context and analyzed through semiotics - the discipline that studies signification and communication - in order to answer the following questions: How did these four saints become signs of the renewal of Catholic spirituality after the Reformation? How did their verbal and visual



representations promote new Catholic models of religious conversion? How did this huge effort of spiritual propaganda change the modern idea of communication?The book is divided into four sections, focusing on the four saints and on the particular topics related to their hagiologic identity: early modern theological debates on grace (Ignatius of Loyola); cultural contaminations between Catholic internal and external missions (Philip Neri); the Christian identity in relation to non-Christian territories (Francis Xavier); the status of women in early modern Catholicism (Therese of Avila).

Sommario/riassunto

Le patrimoine architectural du xxe siècle, en cours de création, nécessite de s’interroger sur les principaux enjeux de sa conservation : que conserver, pourquoi conserver, comment conserver ?  Dans le cadre de la réflexion internationale menée sur la question de la patrimonialisation de l’architecture du xxe siècle - conservation, restauration -, un colloque a été organisé au sein de l’Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail au mois d’avril 2010, l’architecture de Georges Candilis servant de prétexte idéal.  Intitulé « Conservation, restauration de l’Architecture du mouvement moderne : l’exemple de l’Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail de Georges Candilis », ce colloque a rassemblé des acteurs essentiels du monde de l’architecture en France dont les recherches portent sur la question de la patrimonialisation d’édifices de l’architecture du xxe siècle. La richesse des personnalités et des parcours a ainsi permis d’envisager le sujet à travers ses diverses dimensions permettant un échange objectif et constructif sur divers aspects de cette problématique.  Les actes de ce colloque se donnent pour objectif de participer à la réflexion sur les orientations que sont amenées à prendre les institutions responsables de la conservation du patrimoine.
