  Elites and crises in ancient societies

  Franco-German research workshop for young researchers

  Le complexe thématique « élites et crises dans les sociétés antiques » met en avant deux notions fondamentales pour les sciences de l'Antiquité. Malgré un état de la question et des sources globalement favorables, le rapport entre élite(s) et crise(s) n'a guère été analysé de manière systématique. Ce rapport est pourtant primordial pour comprendre les structures d'une société, non seulement pour l'Antiquité. L'atelier de recherche s'adresse aux doctorants et post-doctorants de toutes les disciplines des sciences de l'Antiquité d'Allemagne et de France, et souhaite donner aux jeunes chercheurs l'opportunité de présenter leurs travaux de recherche et leurs approches dans un cadre pluridisciplinaire et binational.

  Meet the New Gods, Same as the Old Gods? Formulary, Ritual and Status in Hellenistic Ruler Cult

  Panel to be held at the Eighth Celtic Conference in Classics

  Despite recent and widespread interest in Greek hero and ruler cult, evaluating the processes that lead to the bestowal of cultic honours on Hellenistic sovereigns still remains a controversial matter. Political readings of such honours within the framework of contemporary international diplomacy and euergetic discourse have picked up on polarities widely discussed by previous bibliography, such as "dynastic vs. civic", "living vs. posthumous", etc. Yet the main focus is still limited to a "top-down" perspective, which leaves aside the fascinating dialectics between "private" and "public", or to perhaps phrase this more accurately, between "institutional" and "non-institutional" actors.

  Les mises en scène de l'autorité dans l'Antiquité

  ENS de Lyon ERAMA junior labo­ra­tory (Expressions et Représentations de l’Autorité dans les Mondes Anciens / Expressions and Representations of Authority in the Ancient Worlds), is organizing a symposium on the ways of staging authority, on Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd November 2013 at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon. These representations of authority are often codified and form an integral part of authority. By combining  different types of research and fields of study, the symposium aims at a better understanding of this phenomenon, which can link and integrate political, economic, social and cultural aspects : which means are used to outline, introduce, spread, put into practice or commemorate authority ?
