  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.).

  The Transept and its Upper Levels in the High Medieval Church

  Towards a New Functional Approach (Architecture, Decor, Liturgy and Sound)

  This conference is jointly organized by the Catholic University of Angers (Faculty of Humanities) and the University of Lausanne (Department of History of Art). It aims to analyse in greater detail the spaces of the transept and to explore their relation(s) with the choir / heart of the church. This two-day international and interdisciplinary symposium will work towards bringing together and assessing the results, often dispersed, of past and present research, building upon debates involving specialists from multiple backgrounds and finishing with a round table which will propose a summary of the papers and explore further insights into new research directions.

  Religion and alimentary prohibitions: arche-zoology and literary sources

  International conference as part of LABEX RESMED Religions in the Mediterranean

  La confrontation des sources littéraires et des données archéologiques s'avère importante pour essayer de comprendre tout à la fois la mise en place des interdits alimentaires particuliers à une religion, les limites de la mise en pratique des interdits alimentaires et leur évolution dans le temps. Les interdits alimentaires et les restrictions sur la commensalité permettent à différents groupes religieux d’établir une frontière entre « eux » et « nous ». Il existe donc un corpus de textes normatifs appartenant aux droits religieux et civils interdisant la consommation d’aliments particuliers. Cet aspect a été souvent étudié pour le judaïsme ou l’islam, moins souvent pour les polythéismes, le zoroastrisme ou le christianisme. Nous espérons présenter la littérature normative et faire réfléchir sur les limites de sa mise en application, tout en s'appuyant sur l’archéozoologie qui peut fournir des données sur le décalage entre norme et pratique.
