DIVAgations
The name of our collection, DIVAgations, has brought together all the generations of researchers who, in our group, recognize in it the committed scientific stance that motivates and brings them together. No doubt because the acronym of the lab is immediately visible in capital letters, but also because each of us knows that the Mallarméan divagations, with their astonishing modernity, had dared to take up the ambitious challenge of renewing writing and going beyond the boundaries of genres by attempting to mix essay, poetry and criticism. This collection, created within the Presses de l'ULiège, has a double ambition: to give visibility to part of the research carried out within the group and the Faculty of Architecture, and to fill a need within the French-speaking Belgian university presses by offering researchers in the field of heritage the possibility of being part of a scientific and thematic collection.

Issues
The DIVA group originates from an "Interdisciplinary Research Group in the History of Architecture of the Contemporary Era". Created at the initiative of Daniela Prina and Claudine Houbart, it was the first collaboration between the Faculty of Architecture and the Department of Historical Sciences - Art History and Archaeology of the Contemporary Period of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. The present work is based on the conference organized on the occasion of the creation of the group, in December 2015, and intended to take an overview of the state of research in the field that it proposed to study.
