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?

Gnwt (Genout) est une revue annuelle publiée au mois de septembre. Elle est éditée par le Réseau des enseignants-chercheurs en égyptologie et civilisations d’Afrique noire (RECECAN). Elle publie les articles des domaines des langues, des lettres, des sciences de l’homme et de la société, qui portent de préférence sur l’histoire ancienne de l’Afrique noire. Une rubrique varia peut cependant être consacrée à la diffusion des articles inédits en rapport avec d’autres périodes de l’histoire africaine. Tous ces savoirs doivent néanmoins avoir pour grille de lecture et fil conducteur les sources essentiellement endogènes de première main pouvant contribuer à une meilleure lecture et compréhension du passé séculaire de l’Afrique noire.

From Egyptian and pharaonic antiquity to modern black Africa
Depuis l’Égypte ancienne, naissances, mariages, cérémonies d’initiation, maladies, chasse, pêche, semailles, récoltes, rituels funéraires vibrent au rythme de sacrifices multiformes et essentiellement symboliques. L’on peut alors constater alors le sacrifice fait partie intégrante de la vie en Afrique noire, de la naissance jusqu’à la vie posthume. C’est ainsi qu’à chaque étape de sa vie, l’homme y fait ou y a recours. La vie africaine se résume même en un ensemble de sacrifices. En tant que tel, on est en droit de les analyser, d’après une approche comparative et dans la perspective de la longue durée, la réalité étant très ancienne, depuis l’Égypte pharaonique jusque dans toutes les autres régions de l’Afrique noire moderne. En dépit des frontières artificielles issues du congrès de Berlin, il faut noter qu’il existe une unité culturelle en matière de sacrifice. Celle-ci a pour berceau l’Égypte ancienne tel que de nombreux travaux l’ont démontré (Diop, 1979 ; Diop, 1982 ; Obenga, 1990 et Lam, 1997). C’est dans cette logique qu’elle peut expliquer le reste de l’Afrique noire et vice versa.

Violence in Plato’s philosophy
Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence (Special Issue)
The Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence (PJCV) is seeking articles dealing with philosophical issues that arise in connection with the conception of conflict and violence within Plato’s philosophy. Conflict and violence are often regarded as two of Plato’s main interests in his political thought, especially when he discusses the dread and danger they bring to the city. However, is it possible to understand conflict and violence in Plato’s work only from this political and rather pejorative standpoint? It is possible to see conflict and violence in Plato’s philosophy as something else, rather than a threat to the harmony of the community?

Funerary practices and identity/ies
The passing of an individual in a community generally leads to the implementation of a complex funerary operational chain repeated upon each death. This behaviour can therefore be opposed to non-funerary deposits, characterized by the absence of funerals and/or of a dedicated tomb (corpse rejection or abandonment, burial deprivation - Boulestin 2016). The study of a given group’s “practice” (ibid.) and of its variability allows to identify differences in the deceased’s treatment and to grasp some aspects of the society of the living. Rituals and funerals – which are difficult to assess in the case of pre- and protohistoric populations - as well as funeral gestures, thus reveal one or several of the deceased’s identities. They can consist of their individual identity, related for instance to their sex, age or social status, or of their collective identity, which is “lived and produced” (Lenclud 2008) and refers to their belonging to a group. In the latter case, the role of a funerary practice is to maintain the links between its actors and to ensure its own continuity.

Night Studies from Antiquity to the modern age
Pour l'heure, les Night Studies constituent un objet scientifique surtout abordé par des contemporanéistes spécialistes d'histoire urbaine. Nous souhaiterions initier une réflexion collective relevant des problématiques des Night Studies appliquées aux périodes antique à moderne, en menant une interrogation conceptuelle et notionnelle d'ordre philosophique, heuristique, herméneutique, épistémologique, esthétique et historiographique sur la spécificité de la nuit.

Charity. Definitions, pratices and controversies
Faisant suite aux colloques consacrés aux thèmes du « témoignage » (octobre 2016), de la « tempérance » (mars 2018) et de l’« apostolat » (février 2019) dans le christianisme, l’Institut d’Étude des Faits Religieux (IEFR) consacrera son prochain colloque au thème de la « charité » (chrétienne, musulmane, juive ou laïque), de la Bible à jours. L’objet du présent colloque sera de mettre en évidence les différentes manières de comprendre le terme « charité », ses pratiques et ses usages variés, dans les champs de l’argumentation et de la recherche.
