    Conference, symposium - Africa

    The religious heritage of the Africas - heritage and religious mobilisation through the mirror

    Mobilisations patrimoniales et religieuses en miroir

    Ce colloque interrogera la fabrique du patrimoine religieux dans les Afriques. Depuis la fin des années 1970, le patrimoine s'entend comme « une notion (…) qui couvre de façon nécessairement vague tous les biens, tous les “trésors” du passé » (Babelon et Chastel 1980). Le patrimoine n’est plus seulement monumental : il se démultiplie et se décline de mille et une manières. Ainsi les Afriques sont-elles traversées par des mouvements multiples qui mobilisent leurs acteurs sociaux autour de questions aussi diverses que patrimoine religieux et identité ethnico-raciale, patrimoine religieux et imaginaire national, mise en patrimoine de lieux saints, d’archives locales et orales, patrimoine religieux et arts contemporains, patrimoines religieux immatériels, patrimoine religieux et plateformes numériques, mais également un refus iconoclaste des mises en patrimoine du religieux par certains mouvements fondamentalistes.

    Call for papers - Prehistory and Antiquity

    Water Management in the Mediterranean during the 1st Millennium BC

    IIIe symposium international HYDRΩMED

    The aim of the meeting is to compare the different modes of adaptation of the Ancient Mediterranean populations to the environmental resources, especially their hydric resources. In a climate marked by unequal distribution of water, the ancient societies, whether Phoenician-Punic, Greek or Etruscan, responded in different ways to the various situations, let alone the hydric crises which may have affected them. The meeting will associate systemic theoretical reflections as well as case studies on ancient sites, to outline the mutations and the permanencies, the possible technological transfers from one society to another. Here, as in other fields of human activity, we shall query the existence of an ancient Mediterranean koine around the knowledge and the technical practices, around the cultural and cultural traditions. The chronology considered runs from the 8th to the 1st century BC, i.e. before the diffusion of the Roman models and techniques.
