TrAme

TrAme (Text, Representation, Archaeology, Authority and Memory, from the Antique through the Early Modern Periods) brings together scholars working in the domains of the humanities and the social sciences within a research group. The group includes specialists in the fields of literature, history, archaeology and history of art from the classical through the early modern periods. TRAME is incorporated within the University of Picardy’s Social Sciences research programme: ‘Heritage, Culture, Transmission and Languages’, and presents an interdisciplinary, diachronic perspective. The laboratory was created on the 1st of January 2008 following the combination of two preexisting groups: CEMAR (Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, UPJV) and LAHM (Laboratory of Archaeology and Medieval History, UPJV), whose members were joined by the University’s specialists in the classical period. Research within the laboratory currently follows three structural axes: ‘Space and Power: Challenges and Dynamics’, ‘Humanism: Literary Practice and Religious History’ and ‘Objects, Materiality and Representation’.
