Exploring the potentials of the name in images, in narratives
The ERC MAP Seminar “The Names of the Gods! 4: Exploring the potentials of the name in images, in narratives” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine. By focusing on names, images and narratives, we will look for connections but also discrepancies, in order to highlight, from duly selected cases or files, the specifications of the different languages used to unfold the potentials of the divine names. In the spirit of the MAP project, we will pay special attention to the links that the names, the images and the narratives convey.

ERC Advanced Grant MAP project (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency)
The ERC Advanced Grant MAP project (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency; 741182; http://map-polytheisms.huma-num.fr1) works on the naming systems for the divine in the Greek and Western Semitic worlds, from 1000 BCE to 400 CE and views them as testimonies to the way in which divine powers are constructed, arranged and involved within ritual. The analysis deals both with the structural aspects of the religious systems and with their contextual appropriation by social participants. Considered to be elements of a complex language, the onomastic channels are related to the gods, therefore providing access to a mapping process of the divine, to its ways of representation and to the communication strategies between men and gods.Within this framework, the MAP Team proposes a Summer School in collaboration with the French Research Centre in Jerusalem (http://www.crfj.org) which covers the project’s themes and tools.

In gods' name! Gods at the border
L’objectif du séminaire est de poursuivre notre réflexion collective sur les noms des dieux et les stratégies de dénominations dans la fabrique du divin, en considérant des dossiers qui sont aux frontières – géographiques etchronologiques – de notre projet, en particulier : les textes ougaritiques, les mondes hittites et mésopotamiens, ainsi que l’Iran (achéménide), la Gaule, Rome et l’Arabie pré-islamique.

Katábasis in the Ancient Greek Literary Tradition and Religious Thought
Les croyances sur l'au-delà sont universellement répandues, ainsi que l'idée de pouvoir se rendre aux enfers, grâce à un « voyage vers le bas » (katábasis). La première catabase connue remonte aux premiers textes grecs conservés (l'Odyssée d’Homère), et l’omniprésence du thème dans les mentalités anciennes est telle qu’elle rend impérieuse un approfondissement de la recherche. Au-delà de la définition superficielle, « une descente aux enfers », il faut comprendre que ce voyage met en action toutes les tensions entre vie et mort, entre humanité et divinité, entre ici-bas et au-delà. Si la catégorie générale de catabase est logique, elle est plurielle et cache tout un système de représentations de la mort et de l'au-delà, des possibilités de s'y rendre dès son vivant et d'en revenir, de ses chemins et des puissances divines qu’on y croise. La représentation du phénomène emprunte des voies très variées : narratives, plastiques, symboliques ou encore conceptuelles, sans oublier les relectures et les recouvrements sur un millénaire d’histoire. Le thème enfin est à la croisée de multiples chemins : religion grecque et histoire comparée des religions, philosophie ancienne, mythologie et littérature, philologie, histoire, archéologie, iconographie et anthropologie culturelle.
