      Colloque « Proche et lointain. Perception, mesure et expression de la distance dans le monde grec antique »

      Mittwoch, 16. April 2025 22:36


      (22-23 avril 2025, ENS de Lyon)
      Le monde grec antique, avec ses cités-États dispersées à travers
      l’espace égéen et au-delà, était marqué par la notion de distance, tant
      physique que conceptuelle. En effet, la distance se conçoit comme
      un intervalle, un entre-deux, qui met en relation deux lieux ou entités.
      Ce colloque se propose donc d'explorer la façon dont les Grecs de
      l’Antiquité percevaient, exprimaient et mesuraient la distance dans
      ses diverses dimensions. Cette notion sera développée à travers une
      approche pluridisciplinaire envisageant les textes littéraires et
      philosophiques, les sources archéologiques et épigraphiques.
      Le colloque est organisé par Anxhelo Bici (Aix-Marseille
      Université/IRAA), Lucie Buchère (ENS de Lyon/HiSoMa),
      Maïwenn L'Haridon-Moreau (Université Lumière Lyon 2/HiSoMa),
      Louise Routier-Guillemot (ENS-PSL / AOrOc), Adèle Vorsanger
      (Le Mans Université/CReAAH).
      L’événement propose un format hybride. Il sera possible d’y assister

       The Making and Unmaking of Selfhood - Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Self-Cultivation, Between Philosophy and Religion

      Mittwoch, 19. Februar 2025 09:44

      Upcoming Conference: The Making and Unmaking of Selfhood - Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Self-Cultivation, Between Philosophy and Religion 4th edition - Spring 2025 Organized by Andrea Sangiacomo, Kimberley A. Fowler, Federico Minzoni (Faculty of Philosophy and Faculty of Religion, Culture and Society – University of Groningen)

      This interfaculty seminar addresses the themes of selfhood, subject-formation, and subject-overcoming, considering the doctrinal embedding of self-cultivation practices as well as their performative unfolding. Which strategies do human beings develop to relate to themselves and to others? How do discourses and practices affect the way in which selfhood is conceptualized or transformed? In this year’s series, we shall look at techniques of the self in different religious and philosophical contexts of Antiquity, with a particular focus on the Graeco-Roman world. The starting point of our conversation is the assumption that selfhood is not a given, but the contingent and open-ended expression of specific social, cultural, and political conditions. Building on the refusal of any essentialist account of subjectivity, we aim to analyze the subject as a process, inquiring the crucial role played by practices and discourses in construing and deconstruing the self, both at the social and at the individual level. Each meeting features two speakers who will present different perspectives on a common theme, laying the basis for an interdisciplinary exchange in the discussion that will follow.

      The Ages of Nero: Reality and Reception

      Dienstag, 18. Februar 2025 15:07

      19th Trends in Classics

      May 22-24, 2025

       

      The Department of Classical Studies at Duke University, the Classics Department at Oberlin College & Conservatory and the Department of Classics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki are organizing the 19th Trends in Classics International Conference (an in-person event) to be held in Thessaloniki from May 22 to 24, 2025 at KEDEA, Aristotle University Campus (http://kedea.rc.auth.gr). The topic of the conference is:

      “The Ages of Nero: Reality and Reception”

       https://lit.auth.gr/research/conferences/trends-in-classics/19th_trends

      (Nero and his age continue to fascinate us. The past decade alone has seen two Companions, three major museum exhibitions, new excavations of the Domus Aurea, and several biographies that aim to shed new light on Rome’s notorious fifth emperor and the years 54-68 CE. It is also clear that the Age of Nero lived on well after the death of the man himself. In the centuries since his suicide in 68 CE, different groups of people have refashioned their own ideas of Nero or their own idea of the Age of Nero, from the Flavian reshaping of his memory and the Christian creation of the Nero Antichrist legend to the influence of Neronian authors on early modern poetics, the reclaiming of Nero in the late 19th century as a symbol of decadent masculinity, and Hollywood’s use of Nero as symbol of its own spectacular power.  

      Perhaps it is time that we speak of Ages of Nero in the plural. This international conference brings together scholars from different academic disciplines to explore such Ages of Nero including the literature, philosophy, art and architecture of Nero’s principate as well as the reception of Nero and Neronian culture from antiquity to today.)

      31st EAA Annual Meeting Belgrade, Serbia

       3–6 September 2025
      Hybrid Format: Onsite and Online Participation

       

      Welcome to Belgrade!

      We are excited and honoured to welcome you to Belgrade for the 31st Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA), hosted by the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade!

      Belgrade is the capital of Serbia, located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, with Mediaeval fortification - Kalemegdan as its principal landmark. It has a long history, dating from the first Neolithic settlements to the Middle Ages. The city was known as Singidunum in Roman times and is mentioned in written sources since 878 AD under the Slavic name Beograd ("White City"). In the course of time, it was constantly rebuilt and remodelled. Since it was located at the crossroads between the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires, always between the West and the East, it was destroyed and rebuilt almost 40 times. Some would say that Belgrade's ability to quickly rebuild, change and evolve is the most important characteristic of the city.

      Over the centuries of transformation, Belgrade has developed its own character, marked by a nuanced mix of tradition and modernity, with both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts in official use in Serbia. The turbulent events of the 1990s took their toll, but the capital has continued to grow and develop ever since. Today it is a safe, vibrant, and youthful city, a university centre, full of welcoming hosts well known for their hospitality. The unusually large number of bars, museums, galleries, and venues, located anywhere between Kalemegdan, old Ottoman residences or buildings inspired by mid-century brutalism, offer a variety of events for all tastes. Whether you prefer the charm of Eastern cuisine, exclusive and refined international dishes, quiet nights by the river, urban art, local artists, green markets, historical sights or nightly happenings, Belgrade will not disappoint.

      In the words of Ivo Andrić, Nobel literature prize holder from 1961, who knew how to depict the history of the Balkan countries „This grand city (Belgrade) seems to have always been like this: torn and split, as if it never exists but is perpetually being created, built upon and recovered. On one side it waxes and grows on the other it wanes and deteriorates. Ever in motion and rustle, never calm and never knowing tranquillity or quiet. The city upon two rivers, on the grand clearing, bound by the winds.”

      Cycle annuel de conférences de la BNF « De la fouille à l’écriture de l’histoire.

      Montag, 06. Januar 2025 16:33

       2025. L’EFR et l’archéologie romaine » (Paris)
      En 2025, en écho aux 150 ans de l’École française de
      Rome, la BnF consacre son cycle annuel « De la fouille à
      l’écriture de l’histoire » à l’archéologie romaine.
      La conférence introductive sera consacrée à la collection
      archéologique de l’EFR, constituée essentiellement par
      Auguste Geffroy, premier directeur de l’École, récemment
      redécouverte à la faveur d’une étude réalisée dans une
      perspective de conservation, restauration et valorisation.
      L’archéologie romaine retrace l’histoire d’une cité du Latium
      devenue la capitale d’un empire s’étendant, à son apogée,
      de l’Écosse et du Danube à l’Afrique du Nord, de l’Atlantique
      au Proche-Orient, et met ainsi en lumière une civilisation née
      dans le Latium, qui, tout au long de ses 12 siècles
      d’existence (VIIIe av. J.-C. – Ve ap. J.-C.), s’est mêlée et a
      composé avec de nombreuses autres cultures et sociétés.
      Face à cette ampleur chronologique, géographique,
      culturelle, politique, historique et archéologique, les
      conférences du cycle Archéologie romaine donneront un
      aperçu de quelques aspects de cette archéologie et reflétant
      notamment les terrains d’action de l’EFR.

      Programme des conférences :
      - Mercredi 15 janvier 2025, 18 h 30 : « La collection
      d’antiques de l’École française de Rome : entre héritage et
      redécouverte », par Brigitte Marin et Christian Mazet.

      - Mercredi 22 janvier 2025, 18 h 30 : « Pompéi : fonder et
      refonder une ville », par Sandra Zanella.

      - Mercredi 5 mars 2025, 18 h 30 : « Marseille romaine,
      d’Auguste à Clovis », par Marc Bouiron et Philippe
      Mellinand.

      - Mercredi 26 mars 2025, 18 h 30 : « Du vin, de l’huile et du
      miel : chronique d’une villa de production aux lendemains de
      la conquête romaine en Dalmatie », par Audrey Bertrand et
      Emmanuel Botte.

      - Mercredi 9 avril 2025, 18 h 30 : « Ostie, port et porte de
      Rome : archéologie d’une ville et de ses décors, reflets des
      transformations de la société romaine », par Paolo
      Tomassini.

      - Mercredi 21 mai 2025, 18 h 30 : « Approche descriptive
      du Maghreb antique : Cent ans de fouilles de l’EFR à
      Timgad », par Anissa Yelles.
