“Did you say “authentic”?

Address: University of Liège, Amphitheater Wittert, Bât. A1 Place du XX-Août, 7 4000 Liège

On May 5 and 6, 2022, the sixth edition of the international doctoral days of the Transitions research unit will be held at the University of Liège. Middle Ages and early modernity. Organized in partnership with the Center for Higher Studies in Medieval Civilization (CESCM) at the University of Poitiers, these days will revolve around the theme of authenticity. Polysemous in essence, the notion of authenticity is complex to define. These doctoral days aim to question authenticity in its multiple meanings and methodological approaches, specific to different fields of research. The presentations will be oriented along two distinct but complementary axes: “The object that stands the test of time” and “Authenticity, pledge of truth? “.
