    Post-doctorate researcher in Anchoring in/of Greek lyric poetry

    Anchoring work package 2

    The Hellenistic scholars canonized a group of nine lyric poets who composed their poetry in the archaic and early classical period (Alcaeus, Alcman, Anacreon, Bachylides, Ibycus, Pindar, Sappho, Simonides, Stesichorus). At least by this period, but probably earlier, they became the standard of Greek lyric compositions or themes in Greek literature, such as love (Sappho), drinking (Anacreon) or praise (Pindar). The aim of this post-doc project is to investigate how these poets relate to earlier or later traditions of Greek literature.

    Post-doctorate researcher in Anchoring Devices in Ancient Rhetoric

    Anchoring Work Package 1

    Ancient rhetoric offers a number of devices to anchor what is new, unfamiliar, dangerously attractive or perhaps even threatening in what is old, tried and tested, and familiar. Two concepts immediately spring to mind and they will determine the approach of this project. In the first place, loci communes in the sense of clichés, i.e., universal sayings or timeless expressions of moral beliefs commonly shared by people belonging to the same cultural community or society. These can form a background against which a particular new or controversial event or person can be framed in a positive or negative way. The second concept is oratio figurata, the umbrella term for theories and methods for phrasing particular new or controversial messages in acceptable terms, for purposes of safety, decency, or amusement.

    The digital French-speaking world

    Le rôle grandissant du multimédia, de l’internet et de ses réseaux sociaux dans les parcours de e-lecture apparaît désormais comme un poncif tant le consensus autour de « l’e-learning » est établi. Comment l’école et l’université adoptent-elles ces nouveaux modes de production et de diffusion du savoir, y compris dans leurs modalités d’accès ? Nous aimerions ici inviter les enseignants à faire part de leurs pratiques sur le « terrain » et à partager leurs retours d’expérience. En distinguant les différents supports techniques des ressources elles-mêmes, on se demandera ici quelles expérimentations et quelles pratiques construisent aujourd’hui réellement de nouveaux scénarios pédagogiques.

    Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Philological Encounters

    The conference brings together scholars from various regions and disciplines (including Arabic, Turkish, Hebrew, Sanskrit, as well as European languages) to explore the personal (and especially self-reflective) dimensions of academic knowledge production by studying scholars (i.e., producers) and their contexts (i.e., institutions and societies) in relation to their objects of study. The conference outlines an avenue of research dedicated to the study of tensions, antagonisms and polemics - as well as fascination, cooperation, appropriation and friendship - that transpired as a consequence of the meetings of different scholars and their dissimilar modes of textual scholarship, made possible through international cooperation in the form of conferences, journals, academic associations and student exchange.

    Rethinking the Dialogue Between the Visual and the Textual

    Methodological Approaches to the Relationships Between Religious Art and Literature (1400-1700)

    In recent decades, the interactions between religious art(s) and literature(s) in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period have been an important area of study for many scholars. More particularly, the study of the interconnectedness of texts and images and of the contact zones between visual arts and literature constitutes an emerging field that is particularly stimulating for both art historians and historians of literature. These scholarly interests generate a range of general methodological and theoretical questions: how can a text be used to understand an image? How can an image help to discern the meaning of a text? How do we interpret texts and images together in order to understand the religious culture of these periods? How do we consider them in relation to each other, without underestimating the specificities of each medium? What are the purposes of the combined study of these sources?

    La permission et la sanction : théories légales et pratiques du théâtre (1400-1600)

    Les rapports entre le théâtre et la loi n'ont pas fait l’objet d’analyses spécifiques pour la période 1400-1600. Le colloque entend étudier les rapports entre la législation et la pratique théâtrale dans leurs différents aspects : de la conceptualisation légale du fait théâtral à l’entrecroisement des jeux dramatiques et de la formation rhétorique des étudiants, de la propagande orchestrée par le pouvoir aux sanctions des différentes "autorités". C’est en partie l’histoire d’une conceptualisation : comment la loi et la législation arrivent à définir le fait théâtral ; c’est également une confrontation à la pratique : de la régulation à la censure et même à l’interdiction ; c’est finalement une histoire des gens de théâtre et de leur formation ainsi que des milieux intellectuels où le théâtre se fait et se définit.
