    Shame and virtue in Antiquity

    Shame is a fundamental social emotion in Mediterranean cultures, which (still nowadays) place a strong and structuring value on honour, and ancient literature bears its mark. From the outset, it is also an ambivalent emotion, with contrasting faces, as evidenced by the semantic differences and overlaps of the doublet αἰσχύνη/αἰδώς. The historical field targeted by the scientific committee of the colloquium is broad, where existing studies preferentially focus on archaic poetic texts (Homer, tragic poets) and on classical authors, Plato and especially Aristotle. The conference Shame and Virtue proposes, from and beyond this period, to extend the investigation to Hellenistic schools, the Roman world and ancient Christianity. In this field, which articulates various types of pluralism (historical, political, linguistic, religious), the papers presented will help to explore the ambivalent relationship between shame and virtue in antiquity.ng

    Life and Mind. Aristotelian themes in contemporary philosophy

    Despite the interest in exploring Aristotelian themes in contemporary philosophy, there has been no coordinated attempt to survey or integrate the ways in which Aristotle’s approach to understanding life, mind, and the relation between them might inform and enrich our own. The objective of this workshop is to explore the way in which Aristotelian thought can brought to bear on contemporary research on the much-debated issue of the so-called mind-body problem and on its implications for the conceptualization of notions such as that of organism, animal and human perception and action, human moral agency, and the relation between mind and life.

    The singular nature of Egyptian images

    3rd day of Egyptology studies devoted to the reading of images

    Après avoir étudié la relation entre image et écriture puis les dénominations et modes de représentation, nous nous pencherons cette année sur les particularités de l'image égyptienne. De nombreuses représentations ainsi que leurs éléments constitutifs – scènes, personnages, animaux, objets, etc. – ne sont en effet pas reproduits selon les conventions qui régissent habituellement l'art égyptien. L'objectif de cette journée est non seulement d'apprendre à repérer ces particularités et à les définir mais aussi et surtout de comprendre leurs fonctions au sein du vocabulaire iconographique égyptien.
