  Noms de dieux !

  Who named the gods? Utterers, addressers, ritual agents

  The ERC MAP Seminar “The Names of the Gods! 5: Who named the gods? Utterers, addressers, ritual agents” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine. This year, it focuses on the human agents in the process of naming the divine, whether they are producers of a discourse on the deities, addressers in a communication with the deities, or even experts in charge of a ritual knowledge. What agency do men and women exercise in the production of a specific denomination of the divine? How can we question their choices, their anchoring in a tradition or their innovation strategies?

  Rethinking retribution

  De prime abord, l’idée de rétribution semble bien inscrite dans les textes bibliques et les littératures du Proche-Orient ancien. Elle est pourtant tellement familière dans le monde occidental et la culture judéo-chrétienne, qu’il n’est pas exclu qu’elle puisse être utilisée indûment pour caractériser le contenu de textes ou qualifier leur théologie. Si l’étymologie du terme re-tribuere signifie littéralement « payer / donner en retour », et si la rétribution est alors ce qui est reçu en retour (récompense ou sanction) pour un acte déterminé, quelle définition plus précise en donner pour sonder les textes de la Bible et les corpus de l’Orient ancien ? Quels champs lexicaux serviraient, dans ces derniers, à lui donner consistance ? Sur quels critères estimer qu’on peut lire un texte à travers le prisme de cette idée ?

  “The Names of the Gods!”

  Exploring the potentials of the name in images, in narratives

  The ERC MAP Seminar “The Names of the Gods! 4: Exploring the potentials of the name in images, in narratives” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine. By focusing on names, images and narratives, we will look for connections but also discrepancies, in order to highlight, from duly selected cases or files, the specifications of the different languages used to unfold the potentials of the divine names. In the spirit of the MAP project, we will pay special attention to the links that the names, the images and the narratives convey.
