Tradition and transmission in Antiquity: interdisciplinary reflections
Les notions de tradition et de transmission sont indissociables l’une de l’autre. La tradition, définie comme le contenu culturel du passé, est transmise par la parole, l’écrit ou encore l’exemple, et perdure sur des générations. Les études récentes mettent en lumière son rôle constructiviste, en tant que nouveau processus culturel fondé sur un ensemble d’éléments du passé, qu’ils soient réels ou imaginaires. Ce processus d’élaboration, loin d’être passif, est dynamique et volontaire, et implique des choix qui sont liés à la construction de la mémoire et de l’identité des groupes et des communautés. Ce sont ces principes créatifs que nous souhaitons mettre au centre de ce colloque. Nous analyserons pour cela les supports, les agents ainsi que les contextes et circonstances de l’élaboration et de la transmission de la tradition. Les principales questions abordées seront l’identité et le statut de ses acteurs, les stratégies adoptées ainsi que les effets sur la construction d’une société à une époque donnée.

Oriental monarchisms from the Nile to the Mediterranean
Organising monastic life in East Africa from late Antiquity to the Middle Ages (Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, 4th-16th century)
Ce séminaire organisé par l’École française de Rome et le Pontificio Istituto Orientale depuis 2018 est dédié à l’étude du monachisme en Afrique orientale de l’Antiquité tardive à la fin du Moyen Âge. Cette deuxième session est consacrée à la question de l’organisation de la vie monastique en Égypte, Nubie et Éthiopie et privilégie les études de cas. Les rencontres mensuelles entendent mieux identifier et saisir les normes et les modalités pratiques qui régissent l’administration, la gestion, le contrôle et l’aménagement des institutions monastiques. Une attention particulière sera accordée à la vie quotidienne des moines et des moniales en Afrique orientale dont certains aspects demeurent largement méconnus.

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.

Myths of origin in Asian societies
Un proverbe indien dit qu’il ne faut pas chercher l’origine d’un fleuve, ni l’origine d’un saint. L’observation directe conduit à peu de chose. Mais l’esprit va au-delà. Il crée un mythe. Qui n’a pas rêvé de son origine, de l’origine d’une nation, d’une langue, d’un thème littéraire ou artistique, de l’origine de l’homme, de l’origine du monde, de l’origine des dieux ? Le mythe n’est cependant pas le rêve incontrôlé. Il est un imaginaire qui transpose la nature profonde d’une âme humaine, d’une société, d’une religion, d’une civilisation. Un mythe d’origine définit un commencement, pose une limite initiale. Or la raison ne peut concevoir une origine absolue. Un mythe d’origine pose un jalon, un repère dans un continuum de temps ou d’espace. Chaque civilisation d’Asie dit par un mythe d’origine quel repère elle a choisi pour le début de son histoire. Et ceci est révélateur des caractères dans lesquels elle s'affirme.

Summer School - Prehistory and Antiquity
ERC Advanced Grant MAP project (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency)
The ERC Advanced Grant MAP project (Mapping Ancient Polytheisms. Cult Epithets as an Interface between Religious Systems and Human Agency; 741182; http://map-polytheisms.huma-num.fr1) works on the naming systems for the divine in the Greek and Western Semitic worlds, from 1000 BCE to 400 CE and views them as testimonies to the way in which divine powers are constructed, arranged and involved within ritual. The analysis deals both with the structural aspects of the religious systems and with their contextual appropriation by social participants. Considered to be elements of a complex language, the onomastic channels are related to the gods, therefore providing access to a mapping process of the divine, to its ways of representation and to the communication strategies between men and gods.Within this framework, the MAP Team proposes a Summer School in collaboration with the French Research Centre in Jerusalem (http://www.crfj.org) which covers the project’s themes and tools.

Textiles and Gender: Production to wardrobe from the Orient to the Mediterranean in Antiquity
Textiles and gender intertwine on many levels, from the transformation of raw materials into fabric at one end, to dress and garments, and the construction of identity at the other. The conference will examine the gender division of work in the production of textiles, as well as attitudes to dress and gender across the Near East and Mediterranean culture in antiquity (c. 3000 BCE-300CE), tracing both cross-cultural and culturally specific associations.
