Entre l’« Orient » et l’« Occident » : représentations en miroir
Cette journée d’étude a pour objet de penser les imaginaires croisés de l’« Orient » et de l’« Occident » au sein des productions théâtrales et spectaculaires, opératiques et cinématographiques de diverses aires culturelles. Ces imaginaires se reflètent les uns dans les autres et se répondent, et ils contribuent à fabriquer des hiérarchies aux effets bien réels. Le champ d’étude sera restreint, d’un côté, aux espaces géographiques qui constituent l’ancienne « route de la soie » (en partant de l’Égypte et de la Turquie pour aller jusqu’à la Chine et au Japon, en passant par l’Iran et l’Inde); de l’autre, à une Europe aux contours en perpétuelle redéfinition. Les contributions se concentreront sur la période allant du XVIe au XXIe siècle.

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.

Spatial Perception in Antiquity from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Taklamakan Desert
Spatial perception in antiquity is a fruitful and intriguing research area that has already received attention since the late 18th century. The development of separate disciplines dealing with different cultures and sources has, however, led to an often-isolated treatment of such topics in the specific fields of history, philology and (historical) linguistics. This conference intends to provide the opportunity to overcome such isolated treatment and to strengthen the cooperation between the fields by establishing interdisciplinary discussions.

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.

From the disconnected letters to the science of letters: a meeting of knowledges in the Middle East
In order to interpret the disconnected letters of the Qur’an (ḥurūf muqaṭṭa‘a), Muslim thinkers have based their work on esoteric concepts, sometimes handed down from Antiquity, which have flourished in Islamic lands under the name of the science of letters (‘ilm al-ḥurūf). This international symposium aims to study the various representations of the mysterious letters within the wider framework of the science of letters, and to put them in perspective against similar readings from languages and cultures close to Arabic. Part of the symposium will be held in the historic citadel of Erbil in the heart of ancient Mesopotamia, “the land of the two rivers”, the cradle of early writing.

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.

History, Philology and Archaeology of Zoroastrianism
The purpose of this workshop will be to provide a multidisciplinary approach by combining historical studies, archaeology and philology, in order to contribute to the study of the ancient zoroastrian religion, ideally outside of modern Iran and India. Nevertheless, this purpose cannot be achieved without taking into consideration and a side-by-side comparison of the data from the long-standing tradition of the mentioned disciplines, collected from Iran, India and other related regions.

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.

Eros and Thanatos in the Arts of Asia
Revue « Art Asie Sorbonne »
From Plato to Saint Augustine to Freud, the pairing Eros / Thanatos occupies a place that is both central and multi-faceted in Western thought and art. It appears as a celebration of love as a vital energy that allows the (male) soul to escape its mortal body and reach the divine, but also as a threat when under the effect of carnal desire, or of feminine, maternal power, the soul is exhausted. This is also the case in Asian thought and art, whether in popular beliefs and images, religious icons, classical, traditional or contemporary representations.

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?
