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?

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.

About Seignelay Colbert de Castlehill
Between Scotland and Rouergue
Ce colloque étudiera l'étrange figure de Seignelay Colbert de Castlehill, né à Inverness, le 13 août 1735 dans une famille presbytérienne et mort à Londres, évêque anticoncordataire et animateur de la Petite Église le 15 juillet 1811. Vicaire général de Loménie de Brienne à Toulouse, fréquentant les salons parisiens, il fut le guide de l'économiste Adam Smith à Toulouse et dans le Sud-Ouest de Bordeaux à Montpellier de mars 1764 à octobre 1765. Élevé au siège épiscopal de Rodez en 1782, il devient président de l'Assemblée provinciale de Haute-Guyenne. Député de la sénéchaussée de Rodez en 1789, il sera l'un des évêques ralliés au Tiers Etat permettant aux États-généraux de devenir l'Assemblée nationale. Cette trajectoire exceptionnelle a échappée à la prosopographie de la Révolution française comme à l'historiographie écossaise. Le colloque se propose de dresser le portrait que mérite une trajectoire aussi extraordinaire

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.

ERC MAP Seminar « Noms de dieux ! »
3: Texts, images and contexts of use (January-June 2019)
The ERC MAP Seminar « Noms de dieux ! » 3: “Texts, images and contexts of use” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine by privileging two main issues: the contexts of enunciation and the imaging of "divine onomastic attributes". While the session program focuses on the Greek and Western Semitic worlds (in the broad sense), it aims to propose case studies as well as theoretical proposals. Dossiers will be presented dealing in particular with questions related to translation strategies, proper names, the plurality of the divine, interactions between names and images, in various contexts of use: dedications, curses, oaths, hymns and other forms of address.

Female monasticism in southern Europe in the Middle Ages
Cette journée d'étude, adossée aux apports de l'histoire du genre dans le domaine du fait religieux, vise à analyser la part féminine du monachisme médiéval dans les régions de l'Europe méridionale (Midi de la France, Italie, Espagne) où elle n'a pas toujours reçu une attention aussi soutenue que les monastères masculins. Une approche pluridisciplinaire croisant le regard sur les textes aux données archéologiques permettra de soulever un ensemble de questions relatives aux communautés féminines du Midi européen, touchant notamment leur organisation insitutionnelle, leurs fonctions sociales, leur production écrite, leur topographie et leur emprise sur l'espace environnant.

In gods' name! Gods at the border
L’objectif du séminaire est de poursuivre notre réflexion collective sur les noms des dieux et les stratégies de dénominations dans la fabrique du divin, en considérant des dossiers qui sont aux frontières – géographiques etchronologiques – de notre projet, en particulier : les textes ougaritiques, les mondes hittites et mésopotamiens, ainsi que l’Iran (achéménide), la Gaule, Rome et l’Arabie pré-islamique.

Ancient percussion instruments
Organology - perceptions - multi-functionality
Percussion instruments have a renewal of interest for a few years, after being a long time poor relatives of academic research and very often relegated to the end of the catalogues of musical instruments. However, recent studies show the complexity of uses of these items which, beyond their only sonorous mechanism, are mobilized in a wide range of contexts (ceremonies, theater, funerary field, votive offerings, etc.) for numerous reasons. Special attention will be paid to idiophones, but also to membranophones when data allows it.

Power and religion in Antiquity - echoes, memory and forgetting
PLH CRATA and PLH-ERASME doctoral study day
Cette journée d’étude propose d’interroger l’interaction entre les notions de pouvoir et de religion dans l’Antiquité en s’appuyant sur la richesse et la diversité des approches des équipes de recherches toulousaines PLH-CRATA et PLH-ERASME. Cette manifestation a pour vocation de permettre aux doctorants et aux doctorantes – membres de PLH mais, également, membres de laboratoires et d’équipes de recherche travaillant dans les domaines de l’Antiquité et celui de sa réception – de présenter leurs travaux au miroir des problématiques soulevées par le rapprochement de ces deux notions aussi vastes que complexes.

Le Mirail
Le projet ERC MAP (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms) embrasse l'ensemble des épithètes divines attestées dans les inscriptions et les textes littéraires grecs et ouest-sémitiques entre 1000 av. et 400 de n. è. Grâce aux épithètes, les dieux se déclinent en une multitude d'aspects et dessinent des configurations qui demandent à être analysées. L’objectif de ce premier séminaire semestriel est d’élargir notre réflexion collective sur les noms des dieux et les stratégies de dénominations dans la fabrique du divin, en accueillant toutes les deux semaines, à Toulouse, deux invités venus de divers horizons thématiques – études grecques et sémitiques, mais aussi monde biblique, égyptologie, anthropologie – dans un atelier de travail au cours duquel les intervenants apporteront des idées issues de leurs domaines de recherche, des pistes de documentation, des questionnements méthodologiques à explorer, des cas d’étude stimulants.

Conference, symposium - History
Penser, dire et représenter la séduction s’avère être beaucoup plus complexe qu’il ne paraît, car la séduction n’est pas un concept. Cette compagne ordinaire de notre quotidien aux mille visages, participe directement à la création du lien social. Les manifestations plurielles de la séduction font qu’il n’est pas toujours simple de discerner ce qui relève d’un phénomène auquel nous nous sommes habitués, de l’exceptionnel perçu comme une source d’intérêt nouvelle qui focalise notre attention, s’insinue dans nos esprits et fonde nos désirs. Ce colloque pluridisciplinaire propose d'interroger la séduction du Moyen Âge à nos jours de manière élargie tout en ayant conscience des limites imposées par l’immensité de cette réalité.

The spectacle of religion - individual commitment and community constructions
Les historiens de l’Antiquité ont admis le caractère profondément pluriel des pratiques religieuses qui sont articulées, en particulier, au politique, au culturel ou encore aux modèles éducatifs. Or le lien entre religion et spectacle, souvent évoqué dans les études sur les religions anciennes, n’a suscité à ce jour que peu d’études approfondies. Il s’agira pour le colloque de s’interroger sur les modalités de participation des acteurs du rituel en prenant en compte ce que nous pourrions appeler le caractère « spectaculaire » des célébrations religieuses.

Conference, symposium - History
The reception of divinities of the Isiac circle from Antiquity to the present day
7th Isiac conference, Toulouse, 2016
Ce colloque se propose d'étudier, pour la première fois, les multiples facettes de la réception des dieux égyptiens devenus méditerranéens et, désormais, mondiaux. Si les questions relatives à l'égyptomanie et l'égyptophilie ont connu un certain succès depuis les grandes expositions des années 1990, jamais encore une rencontre scientifique internationale d'envergure ne s'est intéressée au rayonnement diachronique des divinités du cercle isiaque, pourtant en tous points exceptionnel. Ayant inspiré un riche imaginaire durant des siècles, elles nous sont parvenues détournées ou revisitées dans de nombreux domaines, jusque dans ce colloque qui ciblera explicitement les processus de leur réception.
