  De imperiis

  L’idea di impero universale e la successione degli imperi nell’antichità

  Nelle letterature antiche ricorre una teoria della "successione degli imperi", concepita come  tramite un processo violento di conquista, che rappresenta una chiave interpretativa della storia universale che segna anche un punto di incontro tra concezioni di popoli caratterizzati da culture diverse, che conobbe grande fortuna fino all'età bizantina. Il convegno, attraverso l’incontro fra studiosi, italiani e stranieri, specialisti di epoche e letterature diverse, mira a offrire un momento di riflessione e di discussione sulle molteplici letture e sulle variazioni ideologiche a queste sottese, in una prospettiva diacronica dall'Antichità a Bisanzio.

  The right to a tomb - recruitment and funerals under Antiquity

  Le recrutement des ensembles funéraires antiques

  Grâce aux efforts conjoints d’archéologues, d’anthropologues, d’historiens et d’épigraphistes, les avancées récentes de la recherche en archéologie funéraire permettent aujourd’hui une bien meilleure connaissance du recrutement des ensembles funéraires antiques, c’est-à-dire de leur composition en termes de sexe et d’âge, mais aussi de statut social et juridique des individus.A partir de différentes études de cas, l’objectif de cette journée d’étude est de proposer quelques pistes de réflexion sur les critères et les motivations de la sélection des individus dans les ensembles funéraires de la Méditerranée antique, à la fois d’un point de vueméthodologique et interprétatif.

  Feeding animals/Eating animals. Theories, Attitudes and Cultural Representations of Nutrition in Ancient and Medieval World

  Memoria scientiae 2015

  According to ancient biological theories, nutrition is, along with reproduction, one of the functions of the soul shared by men, animals and plants. At the same time, however, eating habits are among the starting points on which differences between humans, animals and plants are culturally built. This means that a transversal biological praxis can be used as an anthropological device, in order to to fix and identify specific boundaries and thresholds, either symbolic or theoretical, between both animality and vegetality on the one hand, and zoosphere and  anthroposphere on the other hand.

  Political power and religious conversion I

  Les attitudes du pouvoir politique face au changement religieux que peuvent représenter les conversions sont un angle d'approche privilégié pour comprendre la place de la religion dans les sociétés. Le programme ANR Pocram analyse ces attitudes dans différentes configurations, depuis la fin de l'Antiquité jusqu'à la fin du XVII^e siècle. « Normes et mots » est le premier colloque thématique de Pocram. Il est consacré au vocabulaire de la conversion ainsi qu'à la production des normes concernant la conversion et les convertis.

  The Wisdom of the Ancients. Jerusalem rediscovers Athens

  The German-Jewish Revaluation of Ancient Philosophy

  Between 1920 and 1930, a group of young, brilliant Jewish researchers studied in Germany under the direction of Cassirer, Husserl and Heidegger. Leo Strauss, Karl Löwith, Hans Jonas, Hannah Arendt, Jacob Klein, Eric Weil, Günther Anders, and others were forced by the advent of Nazism to escape from Germany and to wander around the world. All these thinkers strove to question the historicist assumption, according to which Modernity is to be seen as progress in respect to the Ancient thought. In their studies, they found new ways to listen to the voice of the Ancients, by revaluating them in the context of the crisis of modern thought. Starting from Athens and Jerusalem, the symbolic roots of western culture, these philosophers problematized and revitalized the quarrel between Ancients and Moderns over again.
