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.).

Rituel et image : textiles et révélation du sacré
Ces journées d’études entendent interroger la participation des textiles – réels ou fictifs, matériels, représentés ou feints – dans la manifestation du sacré, compris dans une acceptation large au-delà de la sphère strictement religieuse. La diversité de leurs formes, la pluralité de leurs fonctions et leur potentiel métaphorique seront au cœur de la réflexion.

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.

Before the Anthropocene: Medieval concepts of interdependent human-nature-relations
Ces dernières années, l'histoire du climat et la climatologie historique se sont essentiellement concentrées sur les impacts économiques et sociaux des changements climatiques de long terme, comme ceux qui se sont produits pendant l'Anomalie climatique médiévale ou le Petit âge glaciaire. Néanmoins, les préoccupations contemporaines concernant le changement climatique global ont posé de nouvelles questions urgentes aux historiens du climat : Comment les sociétés du passé ont-elles perçu les périodes de changement climatique rapide ? Dans quelle mesure ont-elles été affectées, non seulement sur le plan économique, mais aussi dans leur réflexion sur la relation entre l'homme et la nature ?

Models of cells made by nuns and "beatiho"
Writing the history of models produced in convents (18th-20th centuries)
Entre le XVIIIe siècle et le premier tiers du XXe siècle, des milliers de religieuses ont fabriqué des maquettes ou dioramas dans lesquelles elles se représentent sous une forme miniaturisée. En mettant ces objets en série et en croisant les analyses des historiens, des historiens de l’art et de l’architecture, des littéraires, des ethnologues, des collectionneurs et des restaurateurs, cette journée d’étude entend « rendre son épaisseur d’histoire » à ces objets méconnus alors qu’ils ont été produits en masse dans les couvents féminins européen pendant plusieurs siècles.

Art and philosophy. From "mimesis" to "imago"
Le but de la journée d'étude est de mettre en lien les études en philosophie et histoire de l'art concernant la construction des images en tant que vecteurs de connaissance et porteurs de sens. L'image médiévale est une construction complexe qui se nourrit non seulement des principes de l'iconographie mais aussi des constructions précédentes issues de l'Antiquité classique et de la réflexion en esthétique.

Maternal Sacrifice in Jewish Culture
Rethinking Sacrifice from a Maternal Perspective in Religion, Art, and Culture
Rethinking Nancy Jay’s opposition between sacrifice and childbirth in what she defines a “remedy for having been born of woman”, the conference aims to explore new approaches to the maternal sacrifice as a ritual, as a narrative, and as a metaphor in the context of Jewish culture.

Artus Désiré. Fighting through song
Ce séminaire vise à étudier le rôle d’Artus Désiré (c. 1510 – c. 1579) dans les combats spirituels en musique menés dans le contexte du déclenchement des guerres de religion en confrontant des approches historique (T. Debbagi Baranova), littéraire (J. Goeury) et musicologique (A. Tacaille). Trois recueils du polémiste catholique feront en particulier l’objet d’une analyse systématique : les Hymnes ecclesiastiques (1ere éd., Rouen, 1553), le Contrepoison des cinquante-deux chansons de Clément Marot (Paris, 1560), les Plaisans et armonieux cantiques (Paris, 1561). Ce séminaire est ouvert à tous.

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.

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.

Controversy in the canteen: secularism, religion and nations (19th-21st centuries)
Espace central dans la construction d’un habitus national républicain, en principe laïque, la cantine est un lieu pour inculquer les valeurs françaises aux enfants. Ces deux journées de colloque permettront d'identifier de nouvelles pistes de recherche pour aborder ces questions à partir des travaux historiographiques, ethnographiques, littéraires, et sociologiques sur la cuisine « française » ; la nourriture dite « religieuse » entre public et privé au passé et au présent ; et le corps « pratiquant » comme cible d’intervention étatique. Des practicien·ne·s venue·s d'écoles, de mairies et d'institutions aborderont ces mêmes questions pour élargir le cadre de ces discussions, et des chercheur·e·s évoqueront des comparaisons transnationales ainsi que d’autres controverses politico-religieuses.

The singular nature of Egyptian images
3rd day of Egyptology studies devoted to the reading of images
Après avoir étudié la relation entre image et écriture puis les dénominations et modes de représentation, nous nous pencherons cette année sur les particularités de l'image égyptienne. De nombreuses représentations ainsi que leurs éléments constitutifs – scènes, personnages, animaux, objets, etc. – ne sont en effet pas reproduits selon les conventions qui régissent habituellement l'art égyptien. L'objectif de cette journée est non seulement d'apprendre à repérer ces particularités et à les définir mais aussi et surtout de comprendre leurs fonctions au sein du vocabulaire iconographique égyptien.

Symbolic and Material Changes to Cult Images in the Classical and Medieval Ages
Iconotropy is a Greek word which literally means “image turning.” William J. Hamblin (2007) defines the term as “the accidental or deliberate misinterpretation by one culture of the images or myths of another one, especially so as to bring them into accord with those of the first culture.” In fact, iconotropy is commonly the result of the way cultures have dealt with images from foreign or earlier cultures. Numerous accounts from classical antiquity and the Middle Ages detail how cult images were involved in such processes of misinterpretation, both symbolically and materially. Pagan cultures for example deliberately misrepresented ancient ritual icons and incorporated new meanings to the mythical substratum, thus modifying the myth’s original meanings and bringing about a profound change to existing religious paradigms. Iconotropy is a fundamental concept in religious history, particularly of contexts in which religious changes, often turbulent, took place. At the same time, the iconotropic process of appropriating cult images brought with it changes in the materiality of those images...The conference hopes to generate new research questions and creative synergies by initiating conversation and the exchange of ideas among scholars in the arts and humanities.

The worship of the Virgin Mary - historical research and disclosure
Ces deux journées de séminaire international proposent d'abord d'explorer « temps, expression, diffusion et mutations de la dévotion mariale » de la première modernité aux débuts de l'époque contemporaine à partir de la présentation du Dictionnaire historique de la Vierge Marie dirigé par Fabienne Henryot et Philippe Martin (Perrin, 2017) en réunissant des historiens français et italiens spécialistes d'histoire religieuse, d'histoire du livre, et de l'art dans un débat scientifique ouvert au regard de l'anthropologue et à celui de jeunes chercheurs. La rencontre donne aussi l'occasion d'appréhender matériellement son sujet par des visites de lieux représentatifs de la piété mariale napolitaine, mais aussi de considérer la dimension divulgative de la recherche historique par l'approche cinématographique que le film L'apparition de Xavier Giannoli (France, février 2018) autorise.
