  Classics lectures "Artemidorus' Dreambook" and "Greek Agrarian History"

  Les premiers travaux de Christophe Chandezon ont montré l'importance de la documentation épigraphique pour l'histoire économique et sociale de la Grèce antique. Ses recherches sur la société rurale et pastorale ont permis d'ouvrir des perspectives nouvelles sur l'économie antique et plus généralement sur l'histoire de l'agriculture et des relations entre les hommes et les animaux domestiques. Dans le cadre du groupe de chercheurs de l'université Paul-Valéry travaillant sur le traité de divination par les rêves d'Artémidore, Christophe Chandezon s'intéresse par ailleurs au rôle que jouent les représentations sociales dans la construction de l'imaginaire antique.

  Power of Spirit and Imagination in 17th Century

  In this workshop, scholars from different disciplines will work together to study the early modern imagination. In particular, we are interested in the relation between general conceptions of the imagination at the time and more specific and controversial ideas of a creative, active and forceful imagination. This powerful imagination was dependent on ‘spirit’ in its different meanings in the early modern period (human spirit, demons, animal and other spirits, spirit of nature, etc.), resulting in a rich variety of opinions. These ideas of an active imagination and of powerful spirits, in their full complexity and diversity, were transmitted between philosophy, literature, medicine, the sciences, witchcraft, demonology as well as religion, and the workshop aims at unearthing the exchanges between these various fields.
