Classicamente. Dialoghi Senesi sul Mondo Antico
The junior researchers and PhD students from the Anthropology of the ancient world curriculum of the PhD course in Classics and Archeology are promoting the fourth edition of the seminar cycle Classicamente. Dialoghi Senesi sul Mondo Antico. This year's edition will focus on the varied methodologies and hermeneutical perspectives which represent the scientific guidelines followed by scholars in anthropology of the ancient world ever since its development. It will also focus on those approaches that today contribute to a constant enrichment and renovation of this field of study. Our goal is to offer to all those who take part the chance to present their work, be it the result of long research or elements of a work in progress, in an enviroment open to discussion between different perspectives (anthropological, philological, historical, archeological, semiotic etc.).

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Christian Initiation from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages
On the occasion of this meeting dedicated to baptism and baptisteries, we intend to highlight the spatialization of baptismal rituals and their evolution between Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, by comparing different geographical areas within the boundaries of the Roman Empire and its neighbouring regions. Through the dialogue between written sources and archaeology, we would like to investigate whether baptismal practices could assert regional or confessional Christian identities.

Ancient religion in rural settlements
XVIII International ARYS Conference
This conference aims to deconstruct the ideas of rural religion as mechanically reproducing urban rituals and religious hierarchies and of the rural world as a space of cultural and religious resilience against urbanity. Rural areas represented an arena for very situational processes of negotiation between, on the one hand, administrative patterns and related social configurations, and, on the other hand, processes of social conformance to the very characteristics of a local specific rural environment, of adaptation to its peculiar habitus and religious customs, possibly involving gods whose competences directly mirrored a geophysical environment made of mountains, rivers, woods, etc.

Strategies of Human-Divine Communication in the Roman Empire from Individual Experience to Social Reproduction
The Department of Historical Science at the University of Málaga and the Institute of Historiography “Julio Caro Baroja” at the University of Carlos III of Madrid are organizing an international conference titled “Calling upon gods, offering bodies. Strategies of human-divine communication in the Roman Empire from individual experience to social reproduction”. Researchers of Ancient History, History of Religion, Archaeology, Anthropology, Classics, and other related fields are invited to present their research on this topic. The conference aims at analysing how self-experience of religious communication becomes a reflexive phenomenon reproduced in time and space to constitute a collectively shared narrative.

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
2nd annual conference of the anthropology department at the University of Montreal (CADA)
Thème central en anthropologie, la transmission offre un terrain de réflexion classique qui garde toute sa pertinence contemporaine. Que la transmission implique sans cesse de nouvelles ressources matérielles ou immatérielles (patrimoine génétique, culturel, linguistique, etc.), ou que la transmission serve de modèle d'interprétation pour comprendre plus largement la façon dont l'être humain s’inscrit dans le temps et l’espace, nous proposons ici d’explorer ce thème sous le prisme des quatre sous-disciplines de l’anthropologie.

Gesture and Belief: routes, transfers and intermediality
In the last decades, the body’s role and its agency have gained new centrality in the analysis of the religious experience. Through its connection with materiality, the religious expression surpasses the spiritual to be understood as a chain of relationships and encounters between bodies, objects and sensory stimuli. Accordingly, under the premise of “routes, transfers and intermediality”, this event seeks innovative readings on subjects that discuss, question and rethink dynamics of circulation, transmission and alterity, through an exchange of ideas and objects of study, which crosses borders and disciplines.

Fields of vision: Thinking field photography and digital imaging across disciplines
Digital technologies have profoundly altered how field images are made, how they circulate, and how they generate meaning. Meanwhile, advances in imaging present new possibilities for the production of visual knowledge of the material world. These changes have had profound effects upon the study of visual and material culture. This colloquium aims to train the spotlight on the rapidly shifting terrain of field photography, exploring its significance for the establishment, definition, and development of such interrelated disciplines as archaeology, anthropology, art history, heritage and museum studies.

Denominations and modes of representation of Egyptian imagery
2nd Egyptology study day devoted to the reading of images
Après avoir étudié la relation qui, dans l'art égyptien, unit l'image et l'écriture, la deuxième journée d'études consacrée à la lecture de l'image égyptienne portera cette année sur les dénominations et les modes de représentation, autant d'éléments qui permettent, entre autres, de déterminer la nature et la fonction des images reproduites dans les contextes sacrés que sont la tombe et le temple.

Theologies post Jean-Marc and what his work has lest to posterity
Quelles postérités de son œuvre théologique ?
Dix ans après la mort de Jean-Marc Ela, le 26 décembre 2008, à Vancouver au Canada, son œuvre inspire les champs aussi variés que la théologie, la sociologie, la philosophie, l’histoire, l’anthropologie, l’économie, la politique, la culture, la démographie, l’écologie et la science. Aux dix ans de la mort de J.-M. Ela, le colloque international a pour but d’appréhender son œuvre dans son intégralité et dans toute sa diversité en la plaçant dans la trame de ses relations multiples (théologiques, sociales, religieuses, éthiques, politiques) et en actualisant son approche de la libération et ses postérités.

Peut-on considérer l’existence comme un objet d’étude à part entière ? Quand on parle d’existence, qu’est-ce qu’on désigne ? Quels instruments et quelles méthodes peut-on utiliser et à quelles disciplines peut-on avoir recours afin de mieux saisir l’existence ? L’existence dont nous voulons parler, c’est celle des humains. L’existence, n’est-ce pas celle d’individus en particulier ? Comment les observer ? A propos d’existence, est-il pertinent de parler de recherche de terrain ? Dans ce colloque, nous entendons nous focaliser sur l’existence et sur ses composantes possibles afin de répondre à ces quelques interrogations et sans aucun doute à d’autres encore.

Incense and religion in ancient societies
Although several studies have drawn attention to the role of incense as an ingredient in ritual and a means of communication between men and gods, there remains no comprehensive examination of the practical functions and cultural semantics of incense in the ancient world, whether as a purifying agent, a performative sign of a transcendent world, an olfactory signal to summon the deity, a placatory libation, or food for the gods. Moreover, recent archaeological research has provided evidence (alongside literary, epigraphic and iconographic evidence) that the physical origins and chemical constituents of incense are complex and diverse, as are their properties : resins, vegetable gums, spices, and a welter of aromatic products that could be exhibited and burned before ancient eyes and noses. These were components of a multi-sensory religious experience in which music, colourful costumes, lavish banquets and tactile encounters defined the ritualsensibilities of the community.

Missions, museums and scientific collections: when missionaries spread the word of science
With the organization of this international workshop, we hope to gather historians, anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers and other researchers to come back on the ambiguous ties that might have brought missionaries and scientists together in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Conference, symposium - History
For an historical anthropology of nature
Les interrogations sur la nature et l'environnement sont aujourd'hui prégnantes. Elles s'inscrivent désormais pleinement dans les sciences sociales et historiques et invitent à une participation renouvelée des chercheurs au débat public. Ce colloque a l'ambition de nouer ensemble un questionnement historique et anthropologique sur la nature et un questionnement politique sur son devenir contemporain. L'anthropologie historique de la nature dont nous discuterons pendant une journée et demi, avec des historiens, des anthropologues, des sociologues et des historiens de l'art ne vise pas à arrêter des catégories ou à fixer une fois pour toutes les termes du débat. Il s'agit au contraire de tendre quelques lignes de force et de signaler des pistes potentiellement productives pour l’analyse.

La figure martinienne, essor et renaissances de l'Antiquité tardive à nos jours
As part of the Saint Martin's year 2016 (1700th anniversary of the birth of Saint Martin), an international conference will be held at the University of Tours on the theme of “Saint Martin, expansion and revivals in his popularity from the origins to the present day”. The conference concerns not only the historical field but archeology, art history, sociology, theology, literary studies. The focus will be on the lesser known aspects of the theme, e.g. the revivals of saint Martin's cult in some regions of Europe at different periods; or ethnological and anthropological dimensions and their impact on art and literature; or theological appropriation of the saint Martin's figure.

Un siècle de vie dominicaine à Saint-Maximin (1859-1957)
Le colloque entend analyser les différentes facettes de l’histoire du couvent dominicain de Saint-Maximin de 1859 à 1957 de manière à en produire une histoire globale qui accorde sa part aux religieux qui y ont vécu, étudié, prié. Une hypothèse forte sur laquelle repose ce colloque est que ce couvent inscrit dans un paysage provençal, bien qu’ancré architecturalement dans le Moyen Âge gothique et situé à distance des mutations des grands centres urbains, n’est en rien un lieu clos sur lui-même : des expulsions de la République aux troubles de la période 1940-1945 sans oublier les effets de la crise d’Action française, Saint-Maximin est un lieu où se vivent les tensions entre l’idéal dominicain et la société moderne. Une interrogation peut ainsi guider les réflexions : comment le couvent de Saint-Maximin, longtemps perçu comme un cadre idéalement ordonné à l’épanouissement de la vocation dominicaine, a-t-il pu faire figure au lendemain de la seconde guerre mondiale, d’obstacle à l’apostolat des frères prêcheurs ?
