ERC MAP Seminar « Noms de dieux ! »
3: Texts, images and contexts of use (January-June 2019)
The ERC MAP Seminar « Noms de dieux ! » 3: “Texts, images and contexts of use” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine by privileging two main issues: the contexts of enunciation and the imaging of "divine onomastic attributes". While the session program focuses on the Greek and Western Semitic worlds (in the broad sense), it aims to propose case studies as well as theoretical proposals. Dossiers will be presented dealing in particular with questions related to translation strategies, proper names, the plurality of the divine, interactions between names and images, in various contexts of use: dedications, curses, oaths, hymns and other forms of address.

Le Mirail
Le projet ERC MAP (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms) embrasse l'ensemble des épithètes divines attestées dans les inscriptions et les textes littéraires grecs et ouest-sémitiques entre 1000 av. et 400 de n. è. Grâce aux épithètes, les dieux se déclinent en une multitude d'aspects et dessinent des configurations qui demandent à être analysées. L’objectif de ce premier séminaire semestriel est d’élargir notre réflexion collective sur les noms des dieux et les stratégies de dénominations dans la fabrique du divin, en accueillant toutes les deux semaines, à Toulouse, deux invités venus de divers horizons thématiques – études grecques et sémitiques, mais aussi monde biblique, égyptologie, anthropologie – dans un atelier de travail au cours duquel les intervenants apporteront des idées issues de leurs domaines de recherche, des pistes de documentation, des questionnements méthodologiques à explorer, des cas d’étude stimulants.

Literatura funerária do Antigo Egipto
Textos das pirâmides. Textos dos sarcófagos
A produção de literatura funerária teve lugar em todos os períodos da história do antigo Egipto, sendo constituída sobretudo por textos inscritos nas paredes dos túmulos ou gravados em objectos tumulares, como sarcófagos e papiros. Estes textos, que representam o género de corpus mais amplo de todos os géneros do antigo Egipto, funcionariam como auxiliares para o morto atingir o Além na companhia dos deuses.

Meet the New Gods, Same as the Old Gods? Formulary, Ritual and Status in Hellenistic Ruler Cult
Panel to be held at the Eighth Celtic Conference in Classics
Despite recent and widespread interest in Greek hero and ruler cult, evaluating the processes that lead to the bestowal of cultic honours on Hellenistic sovereigns still remains a controversial matter. Political readings of such honours within the framework of contemporary international diplomacy and euergetic discourse have picked up on polarities widely discussed by previous bibliography, such as "dynastic vs. civic", "living vs. posthumous", etc. Yet the main focus is still limited to a "top-down" perspective, which leaves aside the fascinating dialectics between "private" and "public", or to perhaps phrase this more accurately, between "institutional" and "non-institutional" actors.

Individual Rites of Passage in the Ancient Near East
Le colloque international « Vivre, grandir et mourir dans l'Antiquité » réunira, les 23, 24, et 25 novembre 2011 à la MISHA de Strasbourg de nombreux spécialistes des rites de passage du Proche-Orient (monde cunéiforme et Egypte) et du monde gréco-romain. Au croisement de la philologie, de l'archéologie, de l'histoire des religions et de l'anthropologie sociale, il cherchera à définir certaines des modalités de la « fabrication » de l'humain.
