Ex-voto: international perspectives
Des experts internationaux se réunissent pour commenter la particularité de l'objet votif. L'ex-voto peut être défini comme un remerciement que les croyants font à une divinité, mais les pratiques dévotionnelles révèlent une complexité dans l'usage du votif. Des chercheurs travaillant en France, au Japon, au Moyen Orient et au Mexique proposent d'interroger et d'expliquer cette matérialité qu'impose l'ex-voto. Durant ce symposium, seront analysés l'amplitude votive, les modalités de l'écriture du voeu, les créations actuelles qui perpétuent et subvertissent la tradition iconographique et thématique, ainsi que les diverses perspectives pour la conservation et la valorisation de l'ex-voto.

IV International Conference of Myth Criticism
Myth and Emotions
Along with rational logic there is an emotional logic, responsible for many actions that we carry out. Myth Criticism tends to tackle mythical stories from a structural, social and historical perspective. However, it often ignores the emotional component. It seems as if the affective dimension, particularly active in our contemporary society, is not considered relevant in the studies of mythology. The Conference will examine the function undertaken by emotions in the structure of mythical stories and in the processes of mythification of characters and historical events. The object of the study will focus on ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary literature and art (since 1900).
