  Colonial geopolitics and local cultures in the Hellenistic and Roman East (IIIrd Century B.C. – IIIrd Century A.D.)

  Géopolitique coloniale et cultures locales dans l'Orient hellénistique et romain (IIIe siècle av. J.-C. – IIIe siècle ap. J.-C.)

  It seems clear that, in the Greek-speaking regions of the Roman Empire, Hellenistic models (civic, military or institutional) exercised considerable influence over “Italic” colonial projects. Within this field, relations between military colonists and indigenous peoples demand special attention, considering the degree of social, cultural, economic, political and geopolitical transformation brought about by the installation of certain groups upon those lands as a result of the will of the great power(s) that ruled over them. As for the Roman colonization, modern scholars have often described Roman colonies as vectors of Romanization inserted in alien lands, writing that these communities must have functioned as images of a “small Rome.” While the existence of Latin-speaking colonists ruled by a favorable juridical system such as the Ius Italicum cannot be denied, such a reductionist model can no longer be accepted without qualification, especially in the context of the Greek-speaking provinces of the Roman East. The regions of the Eastern Mediterranean world saw the coming of a number of groups of Roman colonists and thus their cultural climate, their agrarian structures and their geopolitical environment changed. The aim of this panel is to explore new research paths based on broader studies in time and space.

  Le savoir public

  Savoir collectifs et figures publiques du savoir en Grèce Ancienne

  L’évolution des pratiques politiques vers une dimension plus collective – avec l’apprentissage corrélatif de savoir-faire collectifs, par exemple ceux qui sont liés à l’exercice de la délibération, au fait de siéger ensemble, à l’assemblée, au théâtre, etc. – et l’apparition d’un processus de partage et de publication des savoirs (ou tout au moins la constitution d’une figure publique du possesseur d’un savoir ou d’un savoir-faire) : la contemporanéité de ces deux phénomènes en Grèce ancienne a été relevée, tout particulièrement par Jean-Pierre Vernant, et souvent étudiée depuis lors sous tel ou tel aspect. Il s’agit d’approfondir l’étude d’ensemble de chacun de ces deux phénomènes, à la recherche des points de contact et des discordances.
