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.

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.

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.

The decline and resurrection of objects, spaces and people in Greco-Roman Antiquity
The notions of declassification and reclassification
Les pratiques de classement et de taxinomie dans l’Antiquité gréco-romaine ont été bien étudiées. En revanche, les processus de déchéance, déclassement et de réhabilitation ou reclassement associés, ont moins retenu l’attention des antiquisants, à l’exception peut-être de la damnatio memoriae, notion déjà décrite par les Anciens. Il ne s’agit pas, au cours de cette manifestation scientifique, d’analyser les processus classificatoires, ni les groupes qui en découlent en tant que tels, – elles ont notamment fait l’objet de deux contributions dans le récent volume, Classement, déclassement, Reclassement, Gilles Chabaud (éd.), Limoges 2011– mais plutôt d’aborder, dans une approche inversée, ce qui motive les Anciens à rejeter ou mettre à l’écart d’un regroupement préalable, en d’autres mots à déchoir un objet, une personne, un espace, une pratique, d’une position préalablement bien établie et reconnue de tous.

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.

Représentations et Usages des civilisations anciennes dans le cadre scolaire français
Ce projet permet de s’interroger sur les référents communs qui sont transmis par l’école. La journée d’étude « La France au miroir de l’Antiquité » se proposera de mettre en perspective les résultats obtenus en les comparant avec ceux déjà étudiés pour d'autres civilisations anciennes (Étrusques, Rome, Grèce). Les interventions s’intéresseront donc à la réception de ces civilisations dans le cadre scolaire français.

Call for papers - Prehistory and Antiquity
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.
