Pharmakon. La rhétorique à la croisée de la magie et de la religion
Cette journée d’étude se donne pour objectif d’explorer les relations qu’entretiennent la magie, la rhétorique et la religion dans l’Antiquité gréco-romaine. Il s’agit de questionner les frontières, parfois floues, qui distinguent la magie de la religion, en partant du terme pharmakon (φάρμακον) : de fait, le terme est susceptible de s’appliquer aux trois domaines mentionnés, en leur conférant une part d’ambiguïté.

Promesse d’une terre nouvelle et d’un corps nouveau
La Bible et ses lectures, antiquité classique et tardive
La promesse d’une terre nouvelle et d’un corps nouveau est au cœur de l’espérance juive et chrétienne. Les chercheurs de La Bible & ses lectures (Antiquité classique et tardive) se proposent d’examiner comment les textes sources (les textes bibliques, les sources juives et chrétiennes antiques) rendent compte de cette promesse divine, et par suite, de cette espérance. Il s’agira en particulier de mettre en lumière comment les deux pôles de la promesse, « terre nouvelle » et « corps nouveau », sont définis et articulés.

Landscapes and sanctuaries. The rediscovery of cult places in the Aegean Basin and in Southern Italy
The international interdisciplinary conference “Landscapes and Sanctuaries. The rediscovery of cult places in the Aegean Basin and in Southern Italy”, focuses on the study of landscapes and the rediscovery of sanctuaries in Southern Italy and Greece between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. It invites to cross archaeological and historical approaches to understand the link between sanctuaries and landscapes, but also the way these data have conditioned the rediscovery of lost archaeological sites.

Seminar - Prehistory and Antiquity
Classicamente. Dialoghi senesi sul mondo antico
Diritto e Ritualità
The full online seminar “Diritto e Ritualità” 10-11 November 2021 will focus on questions of Greek law and ritual forms in the ancient world, investigated through the lens of anthropology. We will explore the relationship between rhetoric and law, the evidence of judicial practices in literary sources and some issues related to the analysis of specific epigraphic sources (defixiones and prayers for justice). In the second day, we will try to put some ritual forms of the ancient world into context. In particular, we will investigate the function of knucklebones in Greek sanctuaries and the relationship between the ludic dimension and the ritual one. Late antique adoratio will also be discussed in light of the most recent theories developed by Anthropology and Ritual Studies.

The untranslatability of Antiquity
From philosophy to historical anthropology
L’acte de traduction est un acte d’ouverture, d’exploration mutuelle et d’intercommunication entre deux cultures : il permet le passage d’un matériel sémantique d’une langue à une autre et il répond à des exigences, des pratiques aussi différentes que contradictoires. Traduire implique nécessairement une adaptation et une transformation du matériel sémantique, quel que soit le principe traductologique observé, à savoir une traduction très proche de la langue source ou bien adaptée aux normes de la langue cible. Durant cet atelier, chaque intervenant sera invité à questionner un « intraduisible » issu de l’Antiquité, en essayant d’en détecter toutes les spécificités endogènes par rapport aux traductions modernes.

Approaching Networks of Gods in the Ancient Mediterranean
Spring School of the ERC Project « Mapping Ancient Polytheisms »
The ERC MAP proposes, in collaboration with the French School at Athens, a thematic Spring School on the approach of the gods in the Ancient Mediterranean (names, representations, cult spaces, practices and actors), through the notion of "network". The latter will be considered both as a conceptual resource of heuristic and hermeneutic scope and as an analytical tool associated with specific methods, software and visualisations.

Naming the gods in the Graeco-Roman Syria
Onomastic landscapes and religious dynamics
Pour explorer l’idée selon laquelle nommer c’est convoquer des bribes de « théologie » s’enracinant dans des traditions et des innovations propres à chaque environnement, la Syrie fournit un terrain d’une richesse exceptionnelle. Dans le cadre du projet MAP (ERC Advanced Grant 741182 « Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency »), on se propose de scruter les appellations partagées ou spécifiques, répandues ou singulières, des innombrables divinités attestées avec leurs attributs onomastiques et iconographiques dans les sanctuaires syriens : Nabu, Nergal, Shamash, Zeus, Athéna, Némésis, ou encore les moins connus Durahlun, Azzanathkona, ou Shalman.

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.).

Who named the gods? Utterers, addressers, ritual agents
The ERC MAP Seminar “The Names of the Gods! 5: Who named the gods? Utterers, addressers, ritual agents” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine. This year, it focuses on the human agents in the process of naming the divine, whether they are producers of a discourse on the deities, addressers in a communication with the deities, or even experts in charge of a ritual knowledge. What agency do men and women exercise in the production of a specific denomination of the divine? How can we question their choices, their anchoring in a tradition or their innovation strategies?

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 MAP Seminar « Noms de dieux ! »
3: Texts, images and contexts of use (January-June 2019)
The ERC MAP Seminar « Noms de dieux ! » 3: “Texts, images and contexts of use” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine by privileging two main issues: the contexts of enunciation and the imaging of "divine onomastic attributes". While the session program focuses on the Greek and Western Semitic worlds (in the broad sense), it aims to propose case studies as well as theoretical proposals. Dossiers will be presented dealing in particular with questions related to translation strategies, proper names, the plurality of the divine, interactions between names and images, in various contexts of use: dedications, curses, oaths, hymns and other forms of address.

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.

Conference, symposium - Prehistory and Antiquity
"Mysteries" in the 2nd century AD - the mystical turn?
Cette rencontre conclut près de quatre années de recherche sur « Les “cultes à mystères” (mystêria, teletai, orgia, etc.) et leurs acteurs spécialisés ». Elle s’appuie théoriquement et méthodologiquement sur un ensemble de dossiers (historiographie, lexique textuel et visuel, données rituelles) qui ont déjà fait l’objet d’analyses lors de rencontres précédentes. Les conclusions de ces études invitent à resserrer l’enquête sur l’hypothèse d’un « tournant mystérique » au IIe siècle de notre ère, c’est-à-dire d’un changement de paradigme non seulement dans les discours sur les mystères et leur représentation, mais aussi dans les rituels désormais ainsi qualifiés (mystikos et mystêriôdês par exemple).

Le Mirail
Le projet ERC MAP (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms) embrasse l'ensemble des épithètes divines attestées dans les inscriptions et les textes littéraires grecs et ouest-sémitiques entre 1000 av. et 400 de n. è. Grâce aux épithètes, les dieux se déclinent en une multitude d'aspects et dessinent des configurations qui demandent à être analysées. L’objectif de ce premier séminaire semestriel est d’élargir notre réflexion collective sur les noms des dieux et les stratégies de dénominations dans la fabrique du divin, en accueillant toutes les deux semaines, à Toulouse, deux invités venus de divers horizons thématiques – études grecques et sémitiques, mais aussi monde biblique, égyptologie, anthropologie – dans un atelier de travail au cours duquel les intervenants apporteront des idées issues de leurs domaines de recherche, des pistes de documentation, des questionnements méthodologiques à explorer, des cas d’étude stimulants.

Conference, symposium - History
A journey between the categories of the pure and impure in the imagination of the ancient world
Le colloque international « Hagnos, Miasma, Katharsis. Voyage entre les catégories du pur et de l’impur dans l’imaginaire du monde ancien » (Cagliari, 4-6 mai 2016) propose une mise au point sur les études consacrées aux phénomènes du pur et de l’impur et à leur exégèse antique. La réflexion autour de ce thème privilégiera une approche interdisciplinaire, tenant compte des perspectives iconographique, littéraire, anthropologique et historico-religieuse, afin d’encourager une confrontation et un dialogue élargis entre les spécialistes de cette question cruciale pour comprendre les mentalités antiques.
