Le corps humain est le lieu privilégié de l’action du médecin. Qu’il soit sain ou plus encore malade, le corps est pris dans le dilemme impossible entre valeur marchande et valeur inestimable. Le coût de notre médecine accentue le risque de faire passer le souci de soi avant le souci de l’autre. À parler de « valeurs », ne risque-t-on pas de suggérer que la vie de l’homme actif, jeune et performant « vaudrait » plus que celle de celui qui est malade, âgé ou handicapé ? La question des « valeurs » est une question dangereuse, car la marchandisation n’est jamais loin, d’autant plus qu’aujourd’hui le corps humain tend à être compris comme un capital. Ne serait-il pas mieux que le corps reste « hors valeur » ? Car si la médecine a un coût, le corps, lui, n’a pas de prix puisque son sort est indissolublement lié à celui de la personne.

The Enlightenment and new Caribbean literature

Les mouvements de la décolonisation et de la libération des peuples du Sud ont, au cours du XX^e siècle, essentiellement mené à un refus généralisé de la pensée des Lumières européennes : on peut notamment constater une forte critique postcoloniale de toute tendance d’universalisation du rationalisme de type cartésien ainsi que le refus des visées néocoloniales, néolibérales et hégémoniques, engendrées par l’impact des Lumières dans les sociétés à l’échelle globale. Les nouvelles littératures antillaises semblent pourtant une fois de plus, et à leur manière, faire circuler certaines valeurs éclairées, véhiculant ainsi un savoir autre, imprégné par sa localisation, à la fois dynamique et en perpétuel mouvement. Nos réflexions communes lors du congrès auront pour objet de décrire et d’analyser les raisons, les modes et les effets de cette transformation des valeurs éclairées par les littératures contemporaines, antillaises en l’occurrence.

Ancient religion in rural settlements

XVIII International ARYS Conference

This conference aims to deconstruct the ideas of rural religion as mechanically reproducing urban rituals and religious hierarchies and of the rural world as a space of cultural and religious resilience against urbanity. Rural areas represented an arena for very situational processes of negotiation between, on the one hand, administrative patterns and related social configurations, and, on the other hand, processes of social conformance to the very characteristics of a local specific rural environment, of adaptation to its peculiar habitus and religious customs, possibly involving gods whose competences directly mirrored a geophysical environment made of mountains, rivers, woods, etc.

Strategies of Human-Divine Communication in the Roman Empire from Individual Experience to Social Reproduction

The Department of Historical Science at the University of Málaga and the Institute of Historiography “Julio Caro Baroja” at the University of Carlos III of Madrid are organizing an international conference titled “Calling upon gods, offering bodies. Strategies of human-divine communication in the Roman Empire from individual experience to social reproduction”.
