  Topography and urban planning in Ancient Rome

  Dans le cadre du projet «Plan de Rome virtuel», l’équipe ERLIS organise, un colloque international réunissant les principaux spécialistes actuels de la Rome antique.

  Il s’agit cette fois de se concentrer plus particulièrement, sur des questions de topographie, d’urbanisme, de «forme urbaine». Les communications contribueront d’une manière ou d’une autre au travail de restitution virtuelle de la Rome de 320 ap. J.-C., mais les sujets abordés seront divers: questions de localisation et d’identification des édifices, réseau viaire, habitat et commerces, espaces verts, adduction d’eau et assainissement, relief… Émergeront aussi des thématiques particulières telles que la présence des premiers édifices chrétiens au début du IVe siècle, l’état physique des bâtiments publics et privés (que peut-on savoir de l’état de dégradation de certains d’entre eux à cette époque?), l’ambiance sonore de la ville…

  Naming and Mapping the Gods in the Ancient Mediterranean. Spaces, Mobilities, Imaginaries

  Organised by the ERC Advanced Grant “Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency” (MAP - 741182), the conference Naming and Mapping the gods in the Ancient Mediterranean. Spaces, Mobilities, Imaginaries hopes to bring together the competences and specialties of multiple disciplines – archaeology, history, geography, anthropology, history of religions, philology, reception, social network analysis – in order to consider new documentation corpora concerning the intersection between the divine and space. Among other things, the conference aims to propose an innovative angle of approach: the intersection between the spaces and designations of the gods.

  Global Congo - the aesthetics and politics of world literature

  Esthétiques et politiques d'une littérature mondiale

  In this symposium, we suggest thinking of the Congo as a literary center. First, for the writers of the diaspora: be they in Brussels, in Graz or in Louisiana, the Congo seems to function as a pole of attraction, both textually and physically. A great number of languages intertwine (Chinese is one of them), and contemporary literature attests this cultural richness. Richard Ali A Mutu, for example, writes in Lingala and is translated into English ; Jean Bofane and Fiston Mujila write in French, but their novels are translated in a dozen languages ; JJ Bola writes in English. How does this linguistic parameter influence their writings? How do the writers consider the European languages and the local languages (Lingala, Ciluba, Swahili) ? Is the choice of a language the consequence of a political commitment, or does it emerge from the observation of the plurilingual character of the Congolese society? Moreover, approaching the Congolese literary space in a World Literature perspective requires us to broaden the very notion of “literature”.
