La Società italiana di Filologia romanza, la Société de langues et littératures médiévales d'oc et d'oïl et la Société de Linguistique romane ont décidé d'organiser conjointement un colloque consacré au thème des "transferts culturels franco-italiens au Moyen Âge". Le thème des transferts culturels, choisi par les trois sociétés, est apparu comme le meilleur moyen d'étudier ce qui à la fois rapproche et sépare ces deux espaces centraux de la Romania. Le colloque a permis de contribuer au renouvellement des études comparatistes dans le domaine des lettres médiévales, favorisant une meilleure communication entre les spécialistes de la civilisation littéraire du Moyen Âge. La structuration des trois journées en cinq séances principales et deux tables rondes a également permis de réfléchir à ce sujet selon cinq approches complémentaires qui entendent tenir compte de l'ensemble des mouvements qui mettent en relation et en tension les lettres gallo-romanes et le volgare tout au long du Moyen Âge vernaculaire.

The simmering debate in Europe about multiculturalism versus assimilation has now come to a boil. The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, famously stated in October 2010 that "multiculturalism in Germany (Multikulti) had failed, completely failed". In February 2011, both Prime Minister David Cameron and President Nicholas Sarkozy could also be heard declaring that multiculturalism was a failure, although only the French President endorsed assimilation as the alternative. Others argue that both assimilation and multiculturalism have failed. These dramatic statements represent the challenge of interpretation and policy analysis to which this book is addressed. If these single words can identify a failure of society and of the policies of government, then there has to be a better model, concept and policy. This study tries to work towards a better solution, and uses the term 'interculturalism' to represent that solution.--Publisher's description.

There has been a widely-held consensus among historians that the Moriscos of Spain made little or no attempt to assimilate to the majority Christian culture around them, and that this apparent obduracy made their expulsion between1609 and 1614 both necessary and inevitable. This book challenges that view. Assimilation, coexistence, and tolerance between Old and New Christians in early modern Spain were not a fiction or a fantasy, but could be a reality, made possible by the thousands of ordinary individuals who did not subscribe to the negative vision of the Moriscos put around by the propagandists of the government, and who had lived in peace and harmony side by side for generations. For some, this may be a new and surprising vision of early modern Spain, which for too long, and thanks in large part to the Black Legend, has been characterized as a land of intolerance and fanaticism. This book will help to rebalance the picture and show sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain in a new, infinitely richer and more rewarding light. Trevor J. Dadson FBA is Professor of Hispanic Studies at Queen Mary, University of London, andis currently President of the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain & Ireland. In 2008 he was elected a Fellow of the British Academy.
