Classicamente. Dialoghi Senesi sul Mondo Antico
The junior researchers and PhD students from the Anthropology of the ancient world curriculum of the PhD course in Classics and Archeology are promoting the fourth edition of the seminar cycle Classicamente. Dialoghi Senesi sul Mondo Antico. This year's edition will focus on the varied methodologies and hermeneutical perspectives which represent the scientific guidelines followed by scholars in anthropology of the ancient world ever since its development. It will also focus on those approaches that today contribute to a constant enrichment and renovation of this field of study. Our goal is to offer to all those who take part the chance to present their work, be it the result of long research or elements of a work in progress, in an enviroment open to discussion between different perspectives (anthropological, philological, historical, archeological, semiotic etc.).

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Christian Initiation from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages
On the occasion of this meeting dedicated to baptism and baptisteries, we intend to highlight the spatialization of baptismal rituals and their evolution between Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, by comparing different geographical areas within the boundaries of the Roman Empire and its neighbouring regions. Through the dialogue between written sources and archaeology, we would like to investigate whether baptismal practices could assert regional or confessional Christian identities.

Conference, symposium - Europe
Le corps humain est le lieu privilégié de l’action du médecin. Qu’il soit sain ou plus encore malade, le corps est pris dans le dilemme impossible entre valeur marchande et valeur inestimable. Le coût de notre médecine accentue le risque de faire passer le souci de soi avant le souci de l’autre. À parler de « valeurs », ne risque-t-on pas de suggérer que la vie de l’homme actif, jeune et performant « vaudrait » plus que celle de celui qui est malade, âgé ou handicapé ? La question des « valeurs » est une question dangereuse, car la marchandisation n’est jamais loin, d’autant plus qu’aujourd’hui le corps humain tend à être compris comme un capital. Ne serait-il pas mieux que le corps reste « hors valeur » ? Car si la médecine a un coût, le corps, lui, n’a pas de prix puisque son sort est indissolublement lié à celui de la personne.

The Enlightenment and new Caribbean literature
Les mouvements de la décolonisation et de la libération des peuples du Sud ont, au cours du XXe siècle, essentiellement mené à un refus généralisé de la pensée des Lumières européennes : on peut notamment constater une forte critique postcoloniale de toute tendance d’universalisation du rationalisme de type cartésien ainsi que le refus des visées néocoloniales, néolibérales et hégémoniques, engendrées par l’impact des Lumières dans les sociétés à l’échelle globale. Les nouvelles littératures antillaises semblent pourtant une fois de plus, et à leur manière, faire circuler certaines valeurs éclairées, véhiculant ainsi un savoir autre, imprégné par sa localisation, à la fois dynamique et en perpétuel mouvement. Nos réflexions communes lors du congrès auront pour objet de décrire et d’analyser les raisons, les modes et les effets de cette transformation des valeurs éclairées par les littératures contemporaines, antillaises en l’occurrence.

Ancient religion in rural settlements
XVIII International ARYS Conference
This conference aims to deconstruct the ideas of rural religion as mechanically reproducing urban rituals and religious hierarchies and of the rural world as a space of cultural and religious resilience against urbanity. Rural areas represented an arena for very situational processes of negotiation between, on the one hand, administrative patterns and related social configurations, and, on the other hand, processes of social conformance to the very characteristics of a local specific rural environment, of adaptation to its peculiar habitus and religious customs, possibly involving gods whose competences directly mirrored a geophysical environment made of mountains, rivers, woods, etc.

Calling upon Gods, Offering Bodies
Strategies of Human-Divine Communication in the Roman Empire from Individual Experience to Social Reproduction
The Department of Historical Science at the University of Málaga and the Institute of Historiography “Julio Caro Baroja” at the University of Carlos III of Madrid are organizing an international conference titled “Calling upon gods, offering bodies. Strategies of human-divine communication in the Roman Empire from individual experience to social reproduction”. Researchers of Ancient History, History of Religion, Archaeology, Anthropology, Classics, and other related fields are invited to present their research on this topic. The conference aims at analysing how self-experience of religious communication becomes a reflexive phenomenon reproduced in time and space to constitute a collectively shared narrative.

Naming and Mapping the Gods in the Ancient Mediterranean. Spaces, Mobilities, Imaginaries
Organised by the ERC Advanced Grant “Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency” (MAP - 741182), the conference Naming and Mapping the gods in the Ancient Mediterranean. Spaces, Mobilities, Imaginaries hopes to bring together the competences and specialties of multiple disciplines – archaeology, history, geography, anthropology, history of religions, philology, reception, social network analysis – in order to consider new documentation corpora concerning the intersection between the divine and space. Among other things, the conference aims to propose an innovative angle of approach: the intersection between the spaces and designations of the gods.

2nd annual conference of the anthropology department at the University of Montreal (CADA)
Thème central en anthropologie, la transmission offre un terrain de réflexion classique qui garde toute sa pertinence contemporaine. Que la transmission implique sans cesse de nouvelles ressources matérielles ou immatérielles (patrimoine génétique, culturel, linguistique, etc.), ou que la transmission serve de modèle d'interprétation pour comprendre plus largement la façon dont l'être humain s’inscrit dans le temps et l’espace, nous proposons ici d’explorer ce thème sous le prisme des quatre sous-disciplines de l’anthropologie.

Conference, symposium - Thought
L’avènement de la modernité s’est accompagné d’une critique radicale de la métaphysique traditionnelle. Depuis les Lumières (notamment françaises) et plus encore avec Nietzsche et sa déconstruction des « Hinterweltler », la quête de justifications ultimes (Letztbegründungen) ou de connaissances transcendant l’immanence est devenue une entreprise largement suspecte. Si le rétablissement de systèmes métaphysiques aspirant à « expliquer tout », comme le formulait Kierkegaard avec ironie, ne semble aujourd’hui ni possible ni souhaitable, se pose toutefois la question de savoir s’il reste légitime de poser des questions métaphysiques dans l’ère post-métaphysique, et sous quelle forme.

Gesture and Belief: routes, transfers and intermediality
In the last decades, the body’s role and its agency have gained new centrality in the analysis of the religious experience. Through its connection with materiality, the religious expression surpasses the spiritual to be understood as a chain of relationships and encounters between bodies, objects and sensory stimuli. Accordingly, under the premise of “routes, transfers and intermediality”, this event seeks innovative readings on subjects that discuss, question and rethink dynamics of circulation, transmission and alterity, through an exchange of ideas and objects of study, which crosses borders and disciplines.

Racialization and othering in the context of mobilities: a focus on the Globalized South
Special Issue of the "Civilisations" Journal, vol. 68 (2019)
This special issue proposes to understand the multiple transnational circulations of the processes of othering and racialization in postcolonial contexts by shifting the gaze through the category “Globalized South”. By “Globalized South”, we refer to a set of geopolitical areas - interconnected through colonial histories and/or economic and social structural transformations. We prefer this category over others (like “Developing countries” or “Southern countries”) because it points out the dynamics and reconfigurations structuring the relations of domination at the global scale. By adopting this category, we accentuate the social processes that (re)produce the power relations in contemporary societies. In general, this special issue intends to gather papers that focus on the making of racialized identity and otherness in the context of mobilities in the globalized South.

Fields of vision: Thinking field photography and digital imaging across disciplines
Digital technologies have profoundly altered how field images are made, how they circulate, and how they generate meaning. Meanwhile, advances in imaging present new possibilities for the production of visual knowledge of the material world. These changes have had profound effects upon the study of visual and material culture. This colloquium aims to train the spotlight on the rapidly shifting terrain of field photography, exploring its significance for the establishment, definition, and development of such interrelated disciplines as archaeology, anthropology, art history, heritage and museum studies.
