  Norms and government from Antiquity to the present day

  Part 3. Norms and the social government of the self

  Les journées d’études pluri-disciplinaires placeront le champ d’observation sur les vecteurs variés de diffusion de normes de comportement,même s’ils ne se donnent pas obligatoirement pour normatifs. Les communications  articuleront  l’étude de ces vecteurs avec les modes deréception par les individus et avec leur capacité à se les approprier. Lesaspects épistémologiques sur les modalités de connaissance de la réceptionet de l’appropriation seront également une dimension explorée. On postule qu’ilest possible de lire les normes contenues dans les sources documentairesautrement que comme discipline imposée, proposée, suggérée, mais commetechnique de construction de soi.

  Personal Influence on the Rulers of Imperial Rome and the Early Middle Ages

  Since rulers of the Imperial Roman Period and the Early Middle Ages occupied the highest (secular) position, individuals who exerted influence on them enjoyed a great extent of power. As a consequence, there was bitter rivalry between the various agents, which is reflected in discourses on legitimate and illegitimate influence. The goal of the conference is to establish interpersonal influence as a subject of historical research. Furthermore the study of influence on rulers is to make a contribution towards political history as well as the history of mentalities and discourse.

  Colonial geopolitics and local cultures in the Hellenistic and Roman East (IIIrd Century B.C. – IIIrd Century A.D.)

  Géopolitique coloniale et cultures locales dans l'Orient hellénistique et romain (IIIe siècle av. J.-C. – IIIe siècle ap. J.-C.)

  It seems clear that, in the Greek-speaking regions of the Roman Empire, Hellenistic models (civic, military or institutional) exercised considerable influence over “Italic” colonial projects. Within this field, relations between military colonists and indigenous peoples demand special attention, considering the degree of social, cultural, economic, political and geopolitical transformation brought about by the installation of certain groups upon those lands as a result of the will of the great power(s) that ruled over them. As for the Roman colonization, modern scholars have often described Roman colonies as vectors of Romanization inserted in alien lands, writing that these communities must have functioned as images of a “small Rome.” While the existence of Latin-speaking colonists ruled by a favorable juridical system such as the Ius Italicum cannot be denied, such a reductionist model can no longer be accepted without qualification, especially in the context of the Greek-speaking provinces of the Roman East. The regions of the Eastern Mediterranean world saw the coming of a number of groups of Roman colonists and thus their cultural climate, their agrarian structures and their geopolitical environment changed. The aim of this panel is to explore new research paths based on broader studies in time and space.
