Abstract:

In this dissertation Athenian inscriptions, granted during the fifth and fourth centuries down to the death of Alexander the Great, are analyzed. The evidence includes grants of citizenship, proxenia, epimeleia, enktesis, ateleia, and isoteleia to deserving foreigners. During the fifth century, Athens used these grants, particularly the proxenia, as one means to keep her predominant position in Greece. Other honors were also used for this purpose, such as the offer of protection, and to some degree citizenship honors. In their domestic affairs, Athenians used enktesis, ateleia, and isoteleia as rewards, especially for resident aliens. According to epigraphic evidence, the ateleia and isoteleia decrees show no increase during the fourth century, while the greatest number of proxeny decrees were passed from 353 to 323 B.C. Although honorary decrees were awarded liberally during this time, there was no steady increase from the fifth century down to 323 B.C. During the period from 399 to 354, the number of extant honorary decrees is rather small. Particular attention is paid to an analysis of the development of each honor, the identification of the individuals involved, and their relation to the Athenian people.

Abstract:

Between the fourth and the seventh centuries CE, Christian patrons erected thousands of churches, chapels, and monasteries in cities and villages across the Mediterranean, decorating the apses, walls and floors of many of these structures with figural and geometric mosaics. These late antique Christian mosaics have been studied for their iconography, their Graeco-Roman components, and as evidence for the religious beliefs of newly-Christian patrons. However, art historians largely have ignored the ways that texts, inscribed within the visual field and composed of the same mosaic material, functioned as images in Christian spaces. For the first time, this thesis assembles the foundations of a comprehensive catalogue of early Christian mosaic inscriptions, places them back into the physical spaces in which they were meant to be read, and analyzes how these texts functioned both verbally and visually for the late antique reader/viewer, against the backdrop of Graeco-Roman traditions. I first examine the ekphrastic components of Christian inscriptions and look more closely at the different ways in which texts work with and against images and spaces, encouraging the viewer to react physically and mentally. Second, I study the language of light used by the inscriptions, and argue that this language linked text to the material of mosaic and enabled patrons to make complex statements about their cultural erudition and religious affiliation. Third, I investigate the functions and visual forms of short tituli which label scenes or name figures to simplify, authenticate or transform static images into narratives in motion. Finally, I turn to the frames of the inscriptions and contend that different forms conveyed powerful visual arguments. By writing these texts back into their mosaics, this thesis argues that texts and images were inseparable in the period, and that text written into images performed and played in more complex ways than has been previously thought.

Abstract:

L'écriture latine est l'un des principaux outils permettant d’étudier la période gallo-romaine. Les contacts entre Romains et indigènes ont favorisé sa diffusion à l'ensemble de la Gaule. Bien que peu de traces nous soient parvenues, l'écriture est un précieux témoignage du passé et l'objectif de cette thèse est d'en étudier l'usage quotidien dans les capitales de cité de Gaule Lyonnaise à travers l'exemple des cités d'Autun, Chartres et Sens. Pour cela, notre étude s'appuie sur l'analyse desinscriptions gravées (graffites) sur vaisselle céramique. La vaisselle en céramique constitue un objet du quotidien accessible à toute la population gallo-romaine et un support épigraphique non périssable. Ainsi, les graffites sur céramique font partie des rares témoignages à notre disposition pour comprendre le quotidien épigraphique des gallo-romains. La première partie de ce travail a consisté à recenser l'ensemble des graffites sur céramique découverts à Autun, Chartres et Sens. Les missions organisées avec l'aide des différentes équipes de bénévoles et le soutien financier du Centre archéologique européen (Bibracte), celui du Ministère de la Culture et celui de l'Université Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV) nous ont permis de recenser un total de 676 graffites dont la plupart sont inédits. Tous sont répertoriés, illustrés et commentés dans le catalogue de cette thèse. L'étude du corpus intègre les inscriptions, leur analyse linguistique etpaléographique ainsi que leur support et leur contexte de découverte. Les messages transmis par ces inscriptions sont divers (indications de contenu, mesures, voeux, dédicaces, etc.) mais la plupart consistent en des marques d'appartenance incisées sur de la vaisselle de qualité. L'étude révèle des pratiques épigraphiques similaires dans les trois cités et la confrontation des résultats avec les données issues des études précédentes montre que ces codes épigraphiques dépassent largement les frontières de la Gaule Lyonnaise
Latin writing is one of the main types of evidence for studying the Gallo-Roman period. Contacts between Romans and natives have favoured its spread throughout Gaul. Although few traces have remained, writing is a valuable testimony of the past and the objective of this thesis is to study its everyday use in the capital cities of Gallia Lugdunensis through the examples of Autun, Chartres and Sens (France). Therefore, this study is based on the analysis of the incised inscriptions (graffiti) on pottery tableware which was an everyday object accessible to the entire Gallo-Roman population and made of a non-perishable material. Thus, graffiti on pottery are among the rare examples at our disposal to understand the daily epigraphic habits of the Gallo-Roman population. The first part of this work was to identify all graffiti on pottery discovered in Autun, Chartres and Sens. The missions, which were possible thanks to the help of volunteers and to the financial support of the European Archaeological Centre (Bibracte), the Ministry of Culture and Paris-Sorbonne University, allowed us to identify a total of 676 graffiti, most of them are unpublished. All are listed, illustrated and discussed in the catalogue of this thesis. The study of the corpus includes the inscriptions, their linguistic and palaeographic analysis, the identification and the dating of their support and context of discovery. The messages transmitted by these inscriptions were different contents, wishes, dedications, etc.), but most consisted of ownership marks incised on quality crockery. The study reveals similar epigraphic practices in the three cities and the comparison with the results of previously published studies shows that these epigraphic codes are used far beyond the borders of Gallia Lugdunensis

Abstract:

This study identifies and describes constituents, patterns and distribution of the system –or systems- of demonstratives of a representative selection of early Greek dialects, namely the “Arcado-Cyprian” group: Arcadian and Cyprian, including a short analysis of Pamphylian as well as a discussion of the particle νι/νυ and a brief note on Mycenaean; the “Aeolic” group: Lesbian, Boeotian and Thessalian; and a selection of West Greek dialects, including both “Doric” and “Northwest Greek” dialects: Elean, Cretan, Laconian, Cyrenaean and Theran. It also examines, describes and compares the syntactic functions and, where possible, pragmatic uses of the series of demonstratives in operation in the selected dialects, providing a classification capable of accounting for all uses cross-dialectically, as well as a succinct account of the evolution of the system of demonstratives from Indo-European to “Ancient Greek”. Additionally, it offers a glimpse of the way in which deixis and anaphora seem to have worked in early Greek dialectal inscriptions, addressing the issue of defining demonstrative pronouns, as well as deixis and anaphora in general terms. Finally, this thesis provides the basis for a cross-dialectal comparison of the structure and operation of the different systems of demonstratives, and corrects some general misconceptions about the scope, usage and inter-dialectal connections of some series of demonstratives, particularly with regard to Arcadian and Cyprian. The results of such a study might contribute towards the discussion of the classification and history of the evolution of early Greek dialects.

Abstract:

Cette thèse aborde à travers les termes ἐλπίς et ἐλπίζω la question de l’espérance dans le monde grec antique jusqu’au Nouveau Testament. Dans une première partie, l’étude de l’usage d’ἐλπίς et ἐλπίζω dans la littérature grecque classique, les papyri et les inscriptions hellénistiques menée sous une double approche alliant chronologie et genre littéraire révèle leur vaste gamme de significations. L’espérance y est souvent profane, non sans être parfois associée au divin. La seconde partie s’attache à montrer comment la Septante, qui se place dans une certaine continuité avec la littérature grecque, constitue néanmoins un tournant. Elle introduit et développe un vocabulaire de l’espérance étroitement lié au divin, notamment au moyen d’expressions typiques et novatrices. L’emploi de ces formules dans la littérature grecque postérieure donne une mesure de l’impact de la Septante. Philon d’Alexandrie en reprend certains codes, mais recourt également au langage de l’espérance conforme à la littérature grecque ainsi qu’à des usages qui lui sont propres. Une rapide incursion finale dans les écrits du Nouveau Testament notifie quelques prolongements dans les corpus paulinien et lucanien
Through the terms ἐλπίς and ἐλπίζω, this thesis addresses the question of hope in the ancient Greek world up to the New Testament. In the first part, the study of the use of ἐλπίς and ἐλπίζω in Classical Greek literature, Hellenistic papyri and inscriptions conducted under a double approach combining chronology and literary genre reveals their vast range of meanings. Hope is often profane, but sometimes associated with the divine. The second part shows how the Septuagint, while maintaining a certain continuity with Greek literature, nevertheless represents a turning point. It introduces and develops a vocabulary of hope closely linked to the divine, notably through typical and innovative expressions. The use of these formulas in later Greek literature gives a measure of the impact of the Septuagint. Philo of Alexandria adopts certain constructions from the Septuagint, but also resorts to the language of hope that is consistent with Greek literature, as well as his own particular phrasing. A brief final incursion into New Testament writings reveals some cases of continued usage in the Pauline and Lukan corpus

Abstract:

En esta tesis doctoral presentamos un estudio de la contaminación religiosa y los ritos de purificación en la Grecia arcaica y clásica a partir de la recopilación y el análisis exhaustivo de la documentación literaria y epigráfica disponible. Nuestro objetivo es estudiar cómo este concepto se desarrolla en las fuentes y va adquiriendo una relevancia cada vez mayor, a la vez que su gestión se desplaza progresivamente del ámbito estrictamente privado hacia el marco de las instituciones de la polis. Para ello se parte de un análisis filológico de los textos recopilados, con especial consideración de los datos procedentes de la epigrafía, una fuente de información a veces negligida y que, sin embargo, permite sacar conclusiones de calado sobre la percepción de la impureza y la forma como este fenómeno era gestionado en el seno de las comunidades griegas. Los primeros capítulos del estudio están dedicados al análisis de la documentación literaria, que presentamos siguiendo un criterio cronológico. Los primeros textos que tratamos pertenecen a la épica homérica, no solo por ser la primera fuente conservada, sino por presentar un tratamiento peculiar de la impureza, aunque todavía muy ligado a la idea básica de suciedad física. A continuación, sigue un análisis de ciertos pasajes de la épica cíclica y la poesía hesiódica donde se aprecia ya una mayor complejidad en el concepto de contaminación religiosa, con una casuística más amplia y unos primeros ejemplos de ritos de purificación, sobre todo en relación con el crimen de sangre. Seguidamente, nuestro análisis nos lleva a tratar la historiografía del siglo V, donde se constata la consolidación de ciertos prototipos literarios relacionados con el homicida y la impureza, así como la importancia de algunos episodios (pseudo-)históricos en los que la pureza ocupa un lugar destacado en la consolidación de instituciones públicas e incluso de élites dominantes en algunas polis, particularmente en Atenas. En idéntica línea, el capítulo siguiente se centra en rituales y fiestas atenienses donde la pureza podía jugar un papel fundamental. El sexto y último capítulo del estudio trata la documentación epigráfica y es la aportación más novedosa de la tesis, ya que incluye la traducción y el comentario pormenorizado y actualizado de algunas inscripciones poco conocidas, pero de gran interés para la temática aquí analizada. Tras admitir las muchas dificultades para clasificar estos documentos, hemos optado por dividirlas en tres grandes apartados de acuerdo con su contenido: inscripciones ligadas a cultos o santuarios, inscripciones que se ocupan del proceso de purificación y, en su caso, de reintegración de los homicidas, e inscripciones fúnebres. Pese a encontrarse mayoritariamente en un estado fragmentario, estas inscripciones ofrecen un valioso testimonio de la sofisticación tanto de la impureza ritual como de los rituales de purificación. Asimismo, solo estos documentos permiten conocer y valorar el papel que las instituciones locales tuvieron a la hora de intervenir y delimitar los códigos de pureza ritual en una comunidad concreta. Por último, el trabajo finaliza con un apartado de conclusiones en el que se sintetizan las aportaciones principales de las diversas fuentes y se plantean algunas aportaciones de mejora. La tesis incluye también las referencias bibliográficas, una tabla de concordancia de inscripciones y un apéndice.
This doctoral thesis examines religious contamination as well as purification rites in archaic and classical Greece, based on the compilation and exhaustive analysis of all existing literary and epigraphic evidence. Our main aim is to study how this concept developed and gained an increasing significance, while its handling drifted from a strictly private environment towards the institutional framework of the polis. To do so, we begin with a philological analysis of our corpus paying special attention to the data collected from epigraphical sources, documentation sometimes neglected which, nonetheless, can provide valuable insight into the perception of impurity and the way this matter was handled among Greek communities. The first texts examined belong to Homeric epic, not only for being the most ancient source but also because they show a peculiar treatment of impurity, although it is still very linked to the basic idea of physical filth. Next to this, there is an analysis of some passages from Cyclic epic and Hesiodic poetry, where it is noticeable that religious contamination appears as a more complex concept: it shows a wider range of uses and there are also the first examples of purification rites, especially concerning bloodshed. After this, our analysis brings us to study 5th century historiography, where certain literary prototypes regarding homicides and impurity are consolidated. Moreover, there are relevant (pseudo-)historical episodes in which purity plays a significant role in the establishment of public institutions and even ruling elites in some poleis – most significantly in Athens. In this same line, the following chapter is focused on Athenian rituals and festivities where purity could play a fundamental role. The last part of our dissertation addresses epigraphic documentation and is the most innovative contribution of the thesis, since it includes a translation as well as a detailed and updated commentary on some inscriptions which are not so well known, yet highly relevant to our field of study. Having assessed the many difficulties in classifying these documents, we have resolved to divide them into three large categories, according to their content: inscriptions related to cults or sanctuaries; inscriptions on the purification process and, if so, the reintegration of homicides into society; and funerary inscriptions. Albeit mostly fragmentary, these inscriptions provide valuable evidence of how sophisticated ritual impurity and purification rites were. Besides, only these documents enable us to know and assess the role local institutions played in establishing and delimitating ritual purity codes among a certain community. Lastly, our dissertation ends with a conclusions section in which we synthesise the most remarkable contributions of the different sources and offer some possible improvements.

Full text

Abstract:

L’épigraphie a pour objet d’étude les inscriptions, textes gravés selon un style graphique sur un artefact, exposé dans un espace public ou privé. Toutes ces spécificités font de l’inscription un objet de communication dont l’écriture est partie intégrante, présentant ainsi des caractéristiques esthétiques et stylistiques.Cependant, depuis le début des recherches en épigraphie, l’écriture dans les inscriptions grecques a été peu étudiée. Elle fait l’objet de quelques remarques dans les publications, sans être au centre d’études en tant que telles. Certes, afin de dater les textes ou d’en étudier les spécificités linguistiques, elle a néanmoins pu être le sujet de recherches, telles celles de L. Jeffery ou S. Tracy, mais toujours concentrées sur des aires spatiales et temporelles précises que sont l’époque archaïque ou Athènes à l’époque hellénistique. L’objectif de ces différentes études n’est donc pas l’écriture pour elle-même.Pour étudier ces styles et leur évolution, il est essentiel de rassembler l’ensemble de la documentation scientifique que nous avons à disposition. L’épigraphie, pendant presque deux siècles, a par ailleurs créé des méthodes de travail et de capture du texte inscrit par le moulage des lettres sur papier : l’estampage. Cet objet naturellement en relief conserve la forme des lettres et est donc exclusivement dédié à l’écriture. Cette thèse s’appuie sur le programme E-STAMPAGES, une ektypothèque en ligne d’estampages d’inscriptions grecques. Dans ce cadre, nous proposons une approche numérique afin de modéliser lesinformations sur l’écriture dans le but de créer une description structurée, systématique et complète, permettant ainsi d’interroger les collections d’estampages numérisés sur les styles d’écriture
Epigraphical research is concerned with the study of inscriptions, which are texts engraved in a particular graphic style on an artefact and exposed in a public or private space. That is why the lettering with its aesthetic and stylistic characteristics is an integral part of the inscribed monument meant to communicate a message.Since the beginning of epigraphical studies, the lettering of Greek inscriptions has not been exhaustively studied. Indeed, only very few observations in epigraphic publications are devoted to the subject. It is true that, in order to date ancient texts or to reveal their linguistic particularites, the different styles of letter carving have been intensively studied, for instance by L. Jeffery or S. Tracy, but the focus tends to be on archaic writings or on the Athenian lettering during Hellenistic times, and the purpose of these studies was never the lettering itself.To study writing styles and their development, it is essential to gather all the epigraphic data available. For two centuries, epigraphists have been using various methods to “capture” the engraved text, including the molding of the letters, with paper, referred to collectively under the name “squeeze”. It is a 3D object and furnishes a faithful representation of the form of the letters. The squeeze is therefore particularly suitable for the study of lettering. In the framework of the E-STAMPAGES project, an online library of squeezes of Greek inscriptions, this thesis has developed a digital approach to create a modelization of all the data relevant to lettering, in order to make possible a structured, systematic and complete description

Abstract:

Partendo da un punto di vista lessicale, la ricerca si ripropone di investigare la presenza di elementi musicali all’interno della produzione epigrammatica del periodo ellenistico, con riferimenti, talora, anche ad autori più tardi. Sono stati analizzati due tipi di fonti: epigrammi di tradizione letteraria (che includono componimenti dall’Anthologia Palatina, dal Nuovo Posidippo, e dal materiale raccolto da Gow e Page) ed epigrafi (che comprendono iscrizioni dagli Steinepigramme aus dem Griechischen Osten e dalle Inscriptions métriques de l’Égypte greco-romain), in modo tale da poter agire su un campo di indagine coerente e bilanciato. Il materiale è stato articolato in due sezioni principali, “Mousikà stoikheia” e “Organikè mousa”, rispettivamente dedicate alle categorie musicali e agli strumenti musicali. L’analisi, partendo dalla ricostruzione della potenzialità semantica di ogni termine, basata sull’origine etimologica e sullo sviluppo letterario e teorico, e procedendo attraverso l’interpretazione delle occorrenze più significative all’interno dei testi epigrammatici, evidenzia una particolare sensibilità verso la componente musicale, richiamando sia la terminologia specifica musicale sia, più spesso, il tradizionale trattamento di alcuni temi appartenenti alla tradizione letteraria. Il presente lavoro include anche una Appendice finale, nella quale sono indicizzati i termini emersi durante l’indagine testuale.
Starting from a lexical point of view, this research aims at investigating the presence of musical elements within the epigrammatic production of the Hellenistic period, with references also to later authors. Two kinds of sources have been analysed: literary epigrams (including poems from the Greek Anthology, the New Posidippus, and the material collected by Gow-Page) and epigraphic epigrams (including inscriptions from Steinepigramme aus dem Griechischen Osten and Inscriptions métriques de l’Égypte greco-romain), in order to have a coherent and balanced field of investigation. The material has been divided into two main parts, “Mousikà stoikheia” and “Organikè mousa”, referred to musical categories and musical instruments. The analysis, starting from the reconstruction of the potential musical meaning of each term, based on etymology and literary and theoretical development, and going on through the interpretation of the most relevant occurrences of the term in epigrammatic texts, shows a particular sensibility towards the musical element, recalling both the terminology of musical theory and, more often, the traditional treatment of some themes belonging to the literary tradition. A final Appendix provides an index with the terms found during the textual investigation.

L’analisi, partendo dalla ricostruzione della potenzialità semantica di ogni termine, basata sull’origine etimologica e sullo sviluppo letterario e teorico, e procedendo attraverso l’interpretazione delle occorrenze più significative all’interno dei testi epigrammatici, evidenzia una particolare sensibilità verso la componente musicale, richiamando sia la terminologia specifica musicale sia, più spesso, il tradizionale trattamento di alcuni temi appartenenti alla tradizione letteraria. Il presente lavoro include anche una Appendice finale, nella quale sono indicizzati i termini emersi durante l’indagine testuale.
Starting from a lexical point of view, this research aims at investigating the presence of musical elements within the epigrammatic production of the Hellenistic period, with references also to later authors. Two kinds of sources have been analysed: literary epigrams (including poems from the Greek Anthology, the New Posidippus, and the material collected by Gow-Page) and epigraphic epigrams (including inscriptions from Steinepigramme aus dem Griechischen Osten and Inscriptions métriques de l’Égypte greco-romain), in order to have a coherent and balanced field of investigation. The material has been divided into two main parts, “Mousikà stoikheia” and “Organikè mousa”, referred to musical categories and musical instruments. The analysis, starting from the reconstruction of the potential musical meaning of each term, based on etymology and literary and theoretical development, and going on through the interpretation of the most relevant occurrences of the term in epigrammatic texts, shows a particular sensibility towards the musical element, recalling both the terminology of musical theory and, more often, the traditional treatment of some themes belonging to the literary tradition. A final Appendix provides an index with the terms found during the textual investigation.

Abstract:

L’héroïne de tragédie joue-t-elle le même rôle aristotélicien que le héros?Cette thèse examine six pièces, les Andromaque, Iphigénie en Aulide et Hippolyte d’Euripide et les Andromaque, Iphigénie et Phèdre et Hippolyte de Racine. Les trois héroïnes, examinées dans les trois premiers chapitres, ont des limites de représentation tragique spécifiques, les rendant moins présentes à l’action héroïque que les héros-type. Mais leur présence, même contrainte, ouvre la question de la condition féminine, que les Grecs ont été les premiers à conceptualiser, et que le XVIIème siècle en France a également mise en avant, du moins pour les femmes éduquées.Ensuite sont étudiés quelques exemples plus ponctuels de représentation d’héroïnes tragiques.Au cinquième chapitre est considéré l’impact de la présence et des absences des héroïnes sur la tragédie en tant que forme culturelle récurrente (tenant compte des éléments du modèle aristotélicien de la tragédie, muthos, hamartia, hubris, anagnorisis, katharsis, et l’interaction des héroïnes avec ces valeurs), contribuant à l’évolution des mentalités. En conclusion, la transmission culturelle de l’héroïne (mythe, épopée, culte, tragédie antique et classique, récurrences contemporaines) peut se conceptualiser en employant une récente théorie syntaxique et cognitive, la théorie X-barre. La théorie de la structure et de la contrestructure est articulée, qui suggère un modèle cognitif, rendant compte de l’évolution sociale des rapports entre hommes et femmes, qui sortirait des oppositions binaires. Les stratégies contrestructurales que les héroïnes de tragédie mettent en œuvre, dans ces pièces, marquent une évolution cognitive de la condition humaine. Les « études héroïniques » sont une voie de nouvelles recherches et un apport potentiel au futur des études littéraires
Does the tragic heroine play the same Aristotelian role as the hero? Six plays are examined: Euripides’ Andromache, Iphigeneia in Aulis and Hippolytos, and Racine’s Andromaque, Iphigénie and Phèdre et Hippolyte.The three pairs of heroines, considered in turn, have specific limits to their capacity for direct heroic action, compared to typical heroes. At the same time, their presence and actions, even constrained, open the question of women’s condition – which the Greeks were the first to conceptualise, and which the French XVIIth c. also foregrounded, at least for educated women. The fourth chapter looks at some further examples of heroines, illustrating aspects of their representation in tragedy.Fifthly is considered the impact, of the presence and absence of the tragic heroine, on tragedy as a form of cultural inscription which has contributed to the evolution of the imaginaire. Different aspects of the Aristotelian model of tragedy such as muthos, hamartia, hubris, anagnorisis, catharsis are explored in terms of how the tragic heroine represents these functions.The conclusions reflect on the cultural transmission of the heroine from myth to epic, cult, the tragedy of antiquity and of French classicism, to contemporary forms). A recent linguistics theory, the X-bar theory is mentioned as a possible cognitive model to conceptualise this continuity in discontinuity, through societies which have so differently validated the female, but may all have been affected by the performative heroine. The author’s own theory of structure and counterstructure is a possible model for observing the evolution of men-women relations, beyond polarising or binary-oppositional cognitive frames. Finally, “heroine studies” are a possible fruitful research area for literature and cultural studies

Abstract:

Cette recherche evalue l'effet du contrat generique et de ses enjeux sur l'inscription textuelle du lecteur, sur le role qui lui est destine. Elle etudie, sous l'angle du lecteur, la pratique generique de julien green afin de determiner ce qui varie selon la nature du contrat. Nous retenons des ouvrages regis par trois contrats de lecture differents. Frere francois, une biographie de francois d'assise; l'autobiographie publiee sous le titre jeunes annees; enfin, l'autre sommeil, un roman qui, par sa forme, la nature de son contrat et son sujet, invite a une comparaison avec l'autobiographie. L'etude s'interesse aussi au dispositif paratextuel de ces oeuvres. Par son champ d'observation multi-generique, cette approche fait ressortir les relations d'un genre a l'autre; plus precisement, ce qui permet de les distinguer ou de les rapprocher a l'interieur d'une meme pratique. En examinant ainsi le fonctionnement des genres chez un meme ecrivain, elle met en relief un ensemble de traits gouvernes par l'horizon d'attente d'une epoque
This study appraises the effect of a "contract of genres" (in french, "contrat generique") and the field of expectations it generates for the textual inscription of the reader, or, the role set out for the reader. How genres are deployed by julien green is examined from the perspective of the reader as means to ascertaining what narrative elements vary according to the kind of contract involved. The works providing the basis of this study are governed by three different reading contracts; respectively, they are : frere francois (english translation: god's fool), a biography of st. Francis of assisi; jeunes annees, an autobiography; and, l7autre sommeil, a novel which, owing to its form content and the nature of its contract, suggests comparison with the autobiography. This study also focusses on the paratextual fatures of the works in question. The multi-genre approach used in this study makes it possible to high-light relationships between various genres and to bring out those elements which serve either to compare or to contrast genres as these are developed or manipulated by the same author. By taking this particular approach to the analysis of how genres function in a single author's work, this study may devote attention to a whole set of features that are govened by the field of expectations of a given historical period

Abstract:

Ce travail mets à profit la connaissance que nous pouvons avoir des documents épigraphiques et littéraires concernant Chypre pour formuler de nouvelles interprétations à propos de la structure politique, économique et sociale de l’île avant l’âge classique. Dans le corpus de documents sont étudiées les sources primaires, celles qui ont été trouvées sur l’île (inscriptions chypro-syllabiques, phéniciennes, akkadiennes, égyptiennes), et celles qui ont une autre origine, mais qui concernent directement Chypre (inscriptions néo-assyriennes ; inscriptions chypriotes trouvées hors de Chypre ; documents en hébreu et en égyptien), ainsi que les sources sécondaires, (passages bibliques mentionnant Chypre ; passages d’auteurs classiques). Dans la synthèse, les documents sont analysés et interprétés selon des thèmes de recherche privilégiés. Une étude des données rassemblées par ville ou royaume permet d’introduire la problématique de l’origine et des caractères de la royauté chypriote ; à ce propos, une comparaison est proposée avec la royauté mycénienne et avec la structure politique de l’île à l’âge du Bronze Récent. Sont étudiés également les éléments dont on dispose pour la reconstruction de la structure sociale de l’île, et le problème de l’existence de la polis à Chypre
This work draws informations from the epigraphic and literary documents concerning Cyprus in order to formulate new interpretations about the political, economic and social structure of the island before the Classical age. In the corpus of documents the primary sources are studied, those that have been found on the island (Cypro-syllabic, Phoenician, Akkadian and Egyptian inscriptions), and those that have a different origin, but dealing with Cyprus (Neo-Assyrian inscriptions ; Cypriot inscriptions found outside the island ; documents in Hebrew and Egyptian), as well as the secondary sources (biblical texts mentioning Cyprus ; passages of Classical authors). In the main text the documents are analysed and interpreted according to some main research themes. The study of the evidence collected for each city or kingdom allows to introduce the problem of the origin and characters of Cypriot kingship ; on this subject, a comparison is proposed with Mycenaean kingship, and with the political structure of the island in the Late Bronze Age. The evidence available for the reconstruction of the social structure of the island is also studied, as well as the problem of the existence of the Greek polis in Cyprus

Abstract:

Digital technologies are constantly changing our daily lives, including the way scholars work. As a result, also Classics is currently subject to constant change. Greek and Latin sources are becoming available in a digital format. The result is that Classical texts are searchable and can be provided with metadata and analyzed to find specific structures. An important keyword in this new scholarly environment is “networking”, because there is a great potential for Classical Philology to collaborate with the Digital Humanities in creating useful tools for textual work. During our workshop scholars who represent several academic disciplines and institutions gathered to talk about their projects. We invited Digital Humanists who have experience with specific issues in Classical Philology and who presented methods and outcomes of their research. In order to enable intensive and efficient work concerning various topics and projects, the workshop was aimed at philologists whose research interests focus on specific phenomena of ancient texts (e.g., similes or quotations). The challenge of extracting and annotating textual data like similes and text reuses poses the same type of practical philological problems to Classicists. Therefore, the workshop provided insight in two main ways: First, in an introductory theoretical section, DH experts presented keynote lectures on specific topics; second, the focus of the workshop was to discuss project ideas with DH experts to explore and explain possibilities for digital implementation, and ideally to offer a platform for potential cooperation. The focus was explicitly on working together to explore ideas and challenges, based also on concrete practical examples. As a result of the workshop, some of the participants agreed on publishing online their abstracts and slides in order to share them with the community of Classicists and Digital Humanists. The publication has been made possible thanks to the generous support of the Open Science Office of the Library of the University of Leipzig.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis discusses the archaeological remains in the Etruscan bridge complex, found during the excavations at San Giovenale in 1959–1963, and 1999. The aim has been to reach a holistic perspective of the bridge complex with the bridge seen as a link between topography, economy, social relationships, politics, symbols and ritual, reflecting its importance for the whole community at San Giovenale and its surroundings. Situated at the border between the two largest city-states Tarquinia and Caere, the site seems to have been an important middle range transit town for foreign ideas, goods and people.

The character of the remains and the various levels of contextual analyses made it possible to distinguish five distinctive functions for the structures at the bridge over the Pietrisco. From a more generalised point of view these suggested that specialized functions may be divided into practical, social and symbolic functions and these aspects have been of help in identifying an object or a structure. Besides practical functions of everyday use, economic and strategic functions have also been considered.

These functions were more or less in use contemporaneously, at least during several hundred years, from about the middle of the 6th down to the first century B.C. Pottery and small finds show that some activity has taken place at the site from the 9th century. Features of continuity, such as in the choice of crossing, the direction of the bridge construction after its destruction, the architectural ground-plans, the use of basins and a well, pottery fabrics of local and Greek imports and shapes, as well as changes in ground-plans, slight changes in the environment due to water erosion, earth-quakes and slides, have been observed. The physical as well as the liminal boundary between land and water as well as between man and spirits was accentuated by the tufa building, the water installations, and the road at the northern abutment. The thesis raises the hypothesis that the Etruscans believed that a crossing of a river via a bridge could violate the spirits of nature on land and in the water and therefore special rites were needed to restore the balance between nature and man before entering the bridge in order to reach safely at the other side of the ravine. The bridge itself can be seen as sacred, a liminal area where time and space do not exist and a place where it is easy to gain contact with the supernatural world.

Full text

Abstract:

In the city centers of Roman Asia Minor, honorific monuments, which consisted of a portrait sculpture and biographical inscription, filled the agoras, aedicular facades, and colonnaded avenues. While some monuments were for Roman emperors and magistrates, the majority celebrated and memorialized the most important members of the local community, male and female, individuals who held public offices, sponsored festivals, and funded large scale construction projects. Honorific monuments were collaborative productions that involved civic institutions, the honored benefactor, and the family or friends of the honorand. Because of the multiplicity of actors involved in the honorific process, an examination of honorific inscriptions allows for a discussion of identity construction at different scales from the individual honorand and his or her family to an entire civic community. In a city in Asia Minor during the empire, the identities conveyed included Roman imperial allegiances, Greek cultural values, and ties to the local community, often combined in compositions that justified claims of status or fulfilled political ambitions. This dissertation investigates the honorific inscriptions from one city in Asia Minor, Aphrodisias, from the mid-1st century BCE to the mid-3rd century CE, which consists of 206 instances of honor for 183 local Aphrodisians. The analysis examines developments in elite self-fashioning and the evolution of the reciprocal relationship between a community and its benefactors, with particular focus on references to ancestry and familial connections in the language of the inscriptions. The evidence indicates that the Aphrodisian elite deployed epigraphic formulations that mention family background and Roman connections in order to construct composite cultural identities and to affirm their place among the city’s aristocratic factions. The contextualization of these texts in an historical and archaeological framework demonstrates that the observed epigraphic changes responded both to internal factors, such as demographic shifts, and external ones, such as the spread of Roman citizenship. This analysis highlights the internally-stratified and competitive aristocratic order that functioned in Imperial Aphrodisias and articulates how the elite employed references to ancestral background, local ties, and Roman familial connections strategically in ways that had tangible impacts on the landscape of the city.

Abstract:

The topic of this thesis is the palaestrae of Roman Africa. Although many examples of palaestrae have been found in North Africa, there has never been a study solely focused on these facilities. They have usually been considered only in the context of Roman baths and as features of bath buildings. This thesis examines palaestrae in a new light and analyzes their role as athletic facilities within the sporting culture of Roman Africa. The Roman provinces of North Africa have yielded a particularly rich body of evidence for athletic games and festivals, making this region ideal for studying this topic. The concern of the thesis is twofold. The first issue is the design and construction of palaestrae in Roman Africa. There is discussion of their form, of construction techniques, and of their place in the overall design of baths. The second issue is how their form relates to function. There is a discussion of how palaestrae accommodated athletic activities, such as training and competition. The thesis concludes that palaestrae in Roman Africa were an important part of local athletic culture, used for training and possibly for competition. Greek and Roman models influenced their design, but climate played a significant role. Great effort was made to ensure these buildings were kept cool, not only by placing them in less exposed areas but also by insulating them from the heated rooms of the baths. Local resources and building techniques were important factors in their construction. This thesis includes a gazetteer of palaestra sites in Roman Africa and a catalogue of all inscriptions relevant to the use of palaestrae.

ΒΙΟΣ as written by the classical Greeks an ambiguous word when read alone is it βίός the way of life ? or is it βίός the instrument of death ? unaccentuated it embodies both – a pair of opposites? ΑΡΤΕΜΙΣ a goddess of ambiguous and liminal zones nurturer of life, of birth and the young bringer of death in the hunt and the home - a contradiction ? Yet life has no meaning unless death exists and death is only meaningful if once there was life - co-dependent concepts. ΒΙΟΣ - one word symbolic of two interdependent concepts, ΑΡΤΕΜΙΣ - one goddess powerful in two inter-related realms. Karl Kerényi gives a comprehensive explanation of the Greek understanding of βίος where he makes the distinction between the finite property of βίος which exists between birth and death compared to the infinite properties of ζωή which means the opposite of death. This distinction is then used by him to characterise Dionysos as ζωή, the indestructible thread of continuous life. His dissertation on the meaning and use of these words is equally applicable to this assessment of Artemis, where her role is that of βίος, each discrete and individual life, a finite entity bounded by the milestones of birth and death. These two concepts of life co-existed in the Greek world. It is this concept of βίος, the finite span of life, with which both Artemis and this thesis are concerned.

MAREK DOSPĚL Bīr Shawīsh, Small Oasis: Ostraka and Other Inscribed Material ABSTRACT The present dissertation is primarily a publication of a group of primary sources. These sources come from the recent archaeological exploration by Charles University in Prague of the site of Bīr Shawīsh in the Baḥrīya Oasis ("Small Oasis" in Classical Antiquity) in Egypt's Western Desert and consist of inscribed material written in Hellenistic Greek or koinē. Their majority belongs in the family of documentary texts, while a smaller group consists of informal inscriptions. Both texts and inscriptions are written or incised on fired potter's clay supports and can be dated to around 400 CE. The core of this dissertation consists of an annotated edition of these texts and inscriptions (Chapter 3), immediately followed by a synthetic and interpretative Chapter 4 in which the cardinal issues inherent to the published material are treated in detail. An important part of the edition are the analytical indices and appendices. Chapter 1 serves as a general introduction to the work; Chapter 2 presents the historical and archaeological context of the edited inscribed material.
