  Rethinking Nancy Jay’s opposition between sacrifice and childbirth in what she defines a “remedy for having been born of woman”, the conference aims to explore new approaches to the maternal sacrifice as a ritual, as a narrative, and as a metaphor in the context of Jewish culture.

  Ex-voto : perspectives internationales

  Des experts internationaux se réunissent pour commenter la particularité de l'objet votif. L'ex-voto peut être défini comme un remerciement que les croyants font à une divinité, mais les pratiques dévotionnelles révèlent une complexité dans l'usage du votif. Des chercheurs travaillant en France, au Japon, au Moyen Orient et au Mexique proposent d'interroger et d'expliquer cette matérialité qu'impose l'ex-voto. Durant ce symposium, seront analysés l'amplitude votive, les modalités de l'écriture du voeu, les créations actuelles qui perpétuent et subvertissent la tradition iconographique et thématique, ainsi que les diverses perspectives pour la conservation et la valorisation de l'ex-voto.

  Maternal Sacrifice in Jewish Culture

  Rethinking Sacrifice from a Maternal Perspective in Religion, Art, and Culture

  The phrase “maternal sacrifice” combines two complex terms entangled in an even more complex dynamic. First of all, “sacrifice”, a word whose definitions have been considered inadequate to describe the multiformity of practices and meanings it evokes as a ritual, as a narrative, and as a metaphor. James Watts distinguishes between “narrative traditions about killing people”, oriented towards an evaluation of killing and murder, and “the ritual killing of animals”, focused on the social functions of ritual and religion (Watts 2011, 8). To those categories a third level can be added that is related to the metaphorical use of the notion of sacrifice as the act of giving up something in order to attain a higher goal.
