    Thinness and slimness in Antiquity. Greece, East, Rome

    This symposium will bring together researchers coming from France and from foreign countries, and from diverse backgrounds: philologists, historians (of food, of medicine), sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, literary persons, archaeologists (in particular in the domains of the bioarchaeology, paleopathology, osteology), art historians. All the aspects of the question will be analyzed. The history of the crisis in supply, the food practices of limitation under the circumstances will be approached in particular (famine, disease, diet), as the definition and the representations of the thinness and the slimness on the ancient societies, in art and literature. The approach will try to combine, even to confront, the history of mentalities and the study of the realities in Antiquity.

    Treatment - from the physical notion to its metaphorical representations in Greco-Roman Antiquity

    Lors de cette journée d’étude, nous étudierons la notion de traitement en nous concentrant sur le monde gréco-romain, de l’époque classique (Ve siècle avant J.-C.) jusqu’à l’antiquité tardive (jusqu’au VIe siècle après J.-C.), afin d’analyser les divers types de traitements et leurs représentations et afin d’interpréter leur évolution au cours des siècles. Le traitement (en grec θεραπεύεινἰατρεύεινἰᾶσθαι ou en latin curare) est une notion assez large, c’est pourquoi nous souhaitons l’appréhender dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire.

    Arabic theatre and the West - contact, circulation and transfer

    Contact, circulation et transfert

    Notre colloque se propose d’accueillir les contributions qui étudieront ou feront découvrir les multiples univers artistiques dans lesquels les initiateurs, artistes arabes ou d’origine arabe, évoluent après avoir effectué un passage en Occident. Comment ces artistes ont-ils abordé dans leurs créations l’altérité occidentale et la leur ? Comment tirent-ils parti de leur mobilité géographique ? À quel point interagissent-ils avec les cultures et les acteurs culturels de leurs terres d’asile ? Quel regard portent-ils sur leur pays d’origine ? Quelle place occupent-ils dans le paysage culturel arabe ? Est-ce qu’ils ont en commun quelques traits ou stratégies artistiques ? Quelle est la portée artistique et politique de leurs créations ?

    Encoding Data for Digital Collaboration (ASOR 2016)

    Data encoding entails an analog-to-digital conversion in which the characteristics of an object, text, or archaeological site can be represented in a specialized format for computer handling. Once encoded, data can be stored, sorted, and analyzed through a variety of computer-based techniques ranging from specialized data-mining algorithms to user-friendly mobile apps. Especially when encoded data is open-source, researchers around the world can collaborate on the collection, encoding, and analysis of data.

    Musicology/Ethnomusicology: evolutions and problems

    Fifth issue of NEMO

    Since its origins as Vergleichende Musikwissenschaft, ethnomusicology struggles to define itself in relation to classical Occidental musicology, the latter being the semantic carrier of a more general character which is nevertheless restricted to the study of musics which in a first instance concerns only the Occident, and in a second instance, which is concerned with music labelled as ‘learned’, even integrating popular musics such as jazz, pop, rock and electro-acoustic musics – a rather large musicological study, all of this placed in a context of a growing as well as various unification specialisation proposals of general musicology sub-fields.
