Attractiveness and mobility networks: seducing, welcoming and integrating
As part of the study day "Attractiveness and Mobility Networks," PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and scholars are invited to explore the dynamics of attractiveness in individual and collective mobilities, from the Bronze Age to the modern era. The event focuses on the legal, political, and social mechanisms implemented to attract, welcome, and integrate individuals into networks. It also examines the formal and informal circulation of information, as well as the processes of community clustering. Particular attention will be given to both the successes and failures of these mechanisms of attractiveness.

Pioneering archaeological diving in the Mediterranean and Black Sea

We invite archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, media and communication scholars, heritage curators, and witnesses to discuss these pioneering figures, focusing on their excavation methods, conservation techniques, and efforts to share knowledge about their archaeological finds.

Créations artistiques arabes ou réinvention du concept de l’engagement
Les artistes arabes, dont la réception de leur œuvre est souvent réduite à tort à une interprétation politique et à la lutte contre les oppressions politico-sociales, ont toujours osé et osent encore déconstruire le concept d’engagement, ne s’intéressant pas seulement à des sujets strictement arabes ni à des thématiques exclusivement politiques et collectives mais proposant des œuvres innovantes, tantôt plus intimes et subjectives, tantôt plus universelles sur des sujets concernant l’humanité entière et reflétant des enjeux sociétaux ou citoyens mondiaux, comme les défis environnementaux et la gestion des ressources naturelles, les pandémies, les concepts philosophiques, politiques et esthétiques, les enjeux et objectifs de la culture, la mise en question de la (post-)modernité, et toutes les questions qui animent le monde. Ainsi, les œuvres engagées visent-elles à la fois la reconnaissance d’une valeur esthétique d’une part et la dénonciation d’une situation, la critique d’une opinion ou la défense d’une cause, dans le contexte de revendication de la liberté d’expression, d’autre part.

Greeks in the Archaic Age: Institutions, Interactions, Traditions
Τ Ε Κ Μ Η Ρ Ι Α, 1
Τ Ε Κ Μ Η Ρ Ι Α, 1 is a Study Meeting born from the desire of young researchers to create a space for exchange, dialogue, and discussion in the wake of interdisciplinarity. The initiative dedicates its first new meeting to the memory of Clara Talamo, who recently passed away. For this reason, the Call proposes the development of themes to which the Scholar was particularly sensitive, and which have connoted the research directions of the Chair. The subject of Τ Ε Κ Μ Η Ρ Ι Α, 1 will therefore be Greeks in the Archaic Age: Institutions, Interactions, Traditions.

Archéologie de la production céramique et des espaces artisanaux : regards croisés
From the 8th millennium BCE onwards, pottery production developed in Southwestern Asia and became a significant trait of Neolithic societies. Ceramic material is widely adopted. It represented a revolution on several scales and quickly constituted an important part of production activities. Thus, the objective of this workshop is to propose a transdisciplinary meeting about the methodologies of studying pottery manufacture sites, through examples from various contexts from prehistoric times to the contemporary period, and with a special interest in alternative approaches.

Judas the Galilean: the Man and his Significance
In 6 CE, while Quirinius was taking the census of Judea, the first Jewish opposition aroused against Roman presence in the region, led by a man known as Judas the Galilean (or the Gaulanite). According to Josephus, all subsequent troubles were the fact of this man. But who was Judas? Was he so important in the history? Was he even challenging Roman authorities? As usual in similar cases, the scholarly debates are endless about the man and his significance. This conference aims to survey all of the many faces of Judas in recent historiography and to discuss each evidence in order to estimate the true place of Judas in history.

Women and Diplomacy in the Late Bronze Age
Egypt and Ancient Near East
Diplomatic marriages are attested in the Ancient Near East between the 3rd millennium BCE and the middle of the 1st. They took place after numerous negotiations and exchanges of gifts, and made it possible to seal or strengthen alliances with powers of the same rank or with vassal kingdoms. Thanks to the intervention of specialists of the Late Bronze Age in Egypt and the Ancient NearEast, and through the examination of textual, archaeological and iconographic sources, this symposium will analyse the place of women of the royal entourage in international relations.

Regards croisés sur les fonctions et l’organisation des maisons
Si l’habitat a d’abord été réduit à sa plus simple fonction, à savoir abriter ses occupants pendant les périodes de repos journaliers, il est rapidement aussi devenu le lieu où ses occupants se sustentent, font leur toilette et leurs besoins, et enfin également celui où ils travaillent, reçoivent, se divertissent, etc. Cette journée d’étude s’attachera à penser l’intérieur des maisons en s’interrogeant sur la fonctionnalité des espaces domestiques, sur leur spécialisation et sur leur dénomination. Ces questionnements intégreront aussi bien des réflexions sur l’architecture que sur le mobilier.

Aramaic in Greek script: epigraphy and code-switching in the Roman Near East
Épigraphie et interférences linguistiques au Proche-Orient sous l’Empire romain
The international round table follows two Lyon symposia on the epigraphy of the Near East (2015) and Jordan (2017). It will bring Hellenists into dialogue with specialists in Semitic languages in order to draw up an assessment of the linguistic interference between Aramaic and Greek in the Near East during the Roman Empire. Together with a workshop devoted to the inscriptions of the Bayt Ras tomb, this scientific event will provide a unique opportunity to put into perspective the ongoing study of this exceptional monument.

Floods and Other Destructions. Stories about the End in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean
Le colloque porte sur la pratique de mise en récit des moments de crise, de destruction et de désagrégation sociale au sein de différentes civilisations du pourtour de la Méditerranée orientale ancienne (IIe-Ier millénaire av. J.-C.). À travers l’analyse des convergences et des divergences entre les modèles narratifs concernés – issus de la Grèce ancienne et de la Mésopotamie, du Levant et de l’ancien Israël – on examinera les éléments linguistiques et les conceptions mobilisés afin de décrire ce qui détruit – mais aussi, en contre-jour, ce qui fonde – l’identité d’une société et de ses institutions, ainsi que sa manière de se mettre en relation avec le divin et la sphère religieuse. La perspective transversale et interdisciplinaire du colloque permettra également de discuter la possibilité d’inscrire les récits et discours analysés dans un horizon culturel partagé, où chaque civilisation vient inscrire ses spécificités.

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.

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?
