    Oriental monarchisms from the Nile to the Mediterranean

    Organising monastic life in East Africa from late Antiquity to the Middle Ages (Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, 4th-16th century)

    Ce séminaire organisé par l’École française de Rome et le Pontificio Istituto Orientale depuis 2018 est dédié à l’étude du monachisme en Afrique orientale de l’Antiquité tardive à la fin du Moyen Âge. Cette deuxième session est consacrée à la question de l’organisation de la vie monastique en Égypte, Nubie et Éthiopie et privilégie les études de cas. Les rencontres mensuelles entendent mieux identifier et saisir les  normes et les modalités pratiques qui régissent l’administration, la gestion, le contrôle et l’aménagement des institutions monastiques. Une attention particulière sera accordée à la vie quotidienne des moines et des moniales en Afrique orientale dont certains aspects demeurent largement méconnus.

    Mapping Ancient Gods

    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.

    Conference, symposium - History

    Religions in crisis, the crises of religions

    Comparative approaches to religion, philosophy and ancient representations

    Dans le cadre de ce colloque, nous souhaitons explorer la question de la crise en lien avec le monde religieux, au sens large. Il s’agit notamment d’investiguer la notion même de crise : à partir de quand y a-t-il crise ? La crise se définit-elle essentiellement par ses conséquences ou davantage par les réponses (ou leur absence) apportées pour lui faire face ? La caractérisation des causes (ponctuelles / récurrentes ; externes / internes…) des crises ouvre également un vaste champ de réflexion. Plus précisément, la thématique s’oriente vers la crise « religieuse ». Le spectre d’investigation est volontairement large afin de toucher tant les religions, au sens traditionnel du terme, que les philosophies et les systèmes de représentations.
