[2]. COLLOQUE INTERNATIONAL: “LES BIBLIOTHEQUES A’ L’AGE DU MANUSCRIT: ORIENT ET OCCIDENT” (PARIS, 28-29.09.2017)
Da: Delphine Lauritzen (delphinelauritzen@gmail.com)
Les bibliotheques a’ l’age du manuscrit. Orient et Occident
Libraries in the manuscript age: East and West
A’ l’occasion de cette conference organisee par les professeurs Francois Deroche (College de France) et Nuria Martinez de Castilla (Ecole pratique des hautes etudes) dans le cadre du projet SICLE (Saadian intellectual and cultural life, ERC 670628), en cooperation avec le Center for the Study of Manuscript Cultures in Hamburg (SFB 950), il sera question de l’histoire et du role des bibliotheques a’ l’age du manuscrit dans les cultures orientales et occidentales.
Un rapide coup d’oeil a’ un site internet recent montre que les informations relatives aux bibliotheque font l’objet d’un traitement pour le moins inegal, bien que le developpement de l’histoire du livre ait tres largement contribue’ a’ attirer l’attention sur ce sujet et soit parvenu a’ rendre accessible un materiel particulierement riche et de nombreuses etudes de cas.
Un regard plus attentif montre egalement que les donnees utilisees sont relativement heterogenes. Le materiel d’archives ou encore les temoignages collectes dans les livres qui constituaient initialement le fonds d’une bibliotheque forment le point de depart pour de nombreuses etudes tandis que, dans d’autres cas, les informations derivent de sources litteraires consacrees aux bibliotheques. Cette heterogeneite n’est pas problematique lorsqu’elle survient a’ l’interieur d’une meme aire culturelle au sein de laquelle plusieurs points de vue distincts contribuent a’ l’elaboration d’une vision globale. Cependant, une approche comparative sera entravee par le desequilibre entre les differentes aires culturelles lorsque l’etude des bibliotheques y depend essentiellement, sinon exclusivement, d’une approche unique. Cela est essentiellement du a’ la nature des temoignages disponibles a’ ce jour, surtout lorsqu’il est question de bibliotheques etablies dans les cultures non-occidentales a’ l’age des manuscrits – cette expression un peu vague correspondant a’ la periode pendant laquelle les manuscrits ont ete’ regulierement produits, parfois au meme moment que les livres imprimes et jusqu’a’ une date variant en fonction des cultures concernees.
A l’occasion de cette conference, il sera question de l’histoire et du role des bibliotheques a’ l’age du manuscrit dans les cultures orientales et occidentales. La diversite’ des contextes necessitera donc de convoquer plusieurs approches qui auront leur place dans cette conference: des etudes explorant differents aspects examines par les historiens de livre – allant du patronage a’ l’economie du livre dans le cadre des bibliotheques – ou d’autres, liees a’ l’histoire intellectuelle – politiques d’acquisition ou rapports entre les textes conserves dans une bibliotheque donnee – ou encore des analyses des sources litteraires d’une culture specifique consacrees aux bibliotheques.
Les fonctions et les modes operatoires couvrant les differents aspects de conservation et d’acces, pourront egalement etre traites, eventuellement de maniere conjointe avec les approches precedemment enumerees, et pourraient permettre de mette en lumiere des particularites ou des modeles communs. Les specificites de l’ere des manuscrits ont certainement joue’ un role sur la maniere selon laquelle les bibliotheques etaient constituees et tenues. Les personnes qui geraient ces bibliotheques ont toutefois aussi pu s’efforcer pour d’acquerir des copies de textes qui etaient consideres comme essentiels: existait-il alors des “bibliotheques ideales” a’ une periode donnee dans une culture specifique?

[6]. COLLOQUE DE PATRISTIQUE ET D’HISTOIRE ANCIENNE: “LES PERES DE L’EGLISE ET LES BARBARES” (LA ROCHELLE, 06-08.10.2017)
Da: Delphine Lauritzen (delphinelauritzen@gmail.com)
Les barbares sont definis, etymologiquement, comme ceux qui ne parlent pas correctement la langue grecque ni, par extension, le latin. Ils sont le plus souvent exterieurs a’ l’Empire. Leur caractere d'”etrangers” s’etend donc a’ leurs modes de vie, leurs traditions, leurs croyances, ainsi qu’a’ leur organisation politique. A la pluralite’ de l’origine geographique des barbares, il faut aussi ajouter que leur impact va se modifier au gre’ meme de l’evolution de l’Empire.
Or la reaction de Rome devant les barbares ne se vit pas dans un face a’ face binaire; la presence du christianisme traverse ces relations et la dimension religieuse de la gestion du phenomene est particulierement interessante a’ etudier. Les Peres de l’Eglise se trouvent ainsi aux premieres loges des grandes questions autour de la definition dialectique d’un “nous” et d’un “eux” ou encore de la possibilite’ de vivre ensemble. Ce colloque voudrait prendre le temps de leur donner la parole: qui sont pour eux les barbares? Partagent-ils toujours les topoi rhetoriques qui en font des sauvages conquerants, mettant en cause jusqu’ a’ l’existence meme de Rome? Les Peres portent en eux le double heritage de la tradition biblique et de la culture greco-latine. A la lumiere de cette double appartenance, quelle interpretation religieuse donnent-ils des changements geopolitiques? Quel regard posent-ils sur les frontieres mouvantes entre civilisation et barbarie au sein de cette triangulation de relations entre culture paienne, culture barbare, et christianisme: car le “barbare” n’est pas forcement “paien”, et les Peres s’inscrivent dans un mouvement, deja’ engage’ de longue date, de valorisation de la culture de l’autre au service de l’evangelisation.

Within the broad framework of the relations between Byzantium and its Arab neighbors, speakers investigate a wide array of sources, from epigraphic and archaeological materials to the canon of Arabic poetry. Topics include the religion of the pre-Islamic nomads of Arabia, the Christian presence in the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant, and the possible pre-Islamic Arabic translation of the Bible.
The morning session takes place at Georgetown University in the CCAS Boardroom (ICC 241), and the afternoon session and reception are held at Dumbarton Oaks in the Oak Room, 1700 Wisconsin Avenue.
For information, contact the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies at Georgetown University (202-687-2735 or arabic@georgetown.edu) or Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection (202-749-8269 or events@doaks.org).

Call for paper:
This international conference, to be held in the Villa Kerylos in September 2018 aims to attract researchers, mainly philologists, linguists and philosophers interested in the ancient practice of etymologizing in Ancient Greek and Byzantine literature. It is promoted by the International Association ETYGRAM (http://www.cepam.cnrs.fr/etygram/) devoted to the study of “emic” ancient Greek etymologies and follows a first edition in 2016 (ETYGR-2016). The ancient Greek conception of etymology is fundamentally different from our modern one and has a much broader meaning. To start with, it allows a rather exceptional plasticity (see, e.g., Plato’s Cratylus) as far as semantic paronomasia is concerned. As ancient scholars understood it, etymology is chiefly a dynamic process aiming at suggesting semantic correlations between words based on phonetic similarities, with a momentous heuristic power. This intellectual game, a very serious one at that, deserves to be investigated since it is neither scientific in character (as modern linguists would describe it), nor labellable as “folk” etymology. It is rather a cultural construction, which is both an art of punning and an attempt to uncover deep semantic motivations. From Homeric epos onwards (see Porph. ad Il. 9.1.160: Homerikou ontos to paretymologein), where it appears to be a major concern, a tendency to cluster together words from the same putative root or origin seems to become more and more widespread. Some of this spirit is still present in modern practice, although it receives undeserved discredit. The phonetic proximity of words in a language have an unquestionable effect on the unconscious representation of the world and interconnecting paronymic words has ever had intense attractiveness and heuristic and intellectual interest, either in linguistic theories or in puns or wordplay practices.

[15]. 2017 BYZANTINE STUDIES COLLOQUIUM: “THE BYZANTINE NEIGHBORHOOD: URBAN SPACE AND POLITICAL ACTION” (WASHINGTON D.C., DUMBARTON OAKS, 17.11.2017)
Da: Aisbnews (aisbnews@gmail.com)
Byzantine Studies Colloquium, Benjamin Anderson and Fotini Kondyli, Colloquiarchs
The role of neighborhoods in late antique and Byzantine cities remains little studied. This colloquium aims at a multidisciplinary investigation of neighborhoods as spatial, social, and political entities that mediate between communities and the state, and thus contribute to the establishment and maintenance of political sovereignty.
Drawing on archaeology, architecture, administrative history, and literature, speakers will investigate how Byzantines defined, organized, and conceptualized their neighborhoods, and how forms of collectivity that were shaped in neighborhoods translated to political action. The resulting conversations should contribute to a new understanding of Byzantine political and social life at the local level.

[18]. CONFERENCE: “HUMANIST GREEK (HUG) – PERSPECTIVES FOR A NEW FIELD OF STUDIES” (HELSINKI, 23-25.08.2018). CALL FOR PAPERS (DEADLINE: 01.03.2018)
Da: Barbara Crostini (crostini.barbara@gmail.com)
“HUMANIST GREEK (HUG) – PERSPECTIVES FOR A NEW FIELD OF STUDIES”
August 23-25, 2018
University of Helsinki, Finland
Call for Papers
The project Helleno-Nordica will host a three-day conference Humanist Greek (HUG) – Perspectives for a New Field of Studies at the University of Helsinki.
The conference location is the National Library of Finland.
The deadline for abstracts is March 1, 2018.
“Humanist Greek” (or Renaissance Greek, an archaizing variant of Greek) refers to the Greek language and Greek texts composed by the Humanists from the Renaissance onwards. Humanist Greek can be seen as a sister concept to Neo-Latin. However, Humanist Greek literature has gone largely unnoticed until recently with the sudden appearance of research articles, even books (e.g., Hellenisti! edited by Stefan Weise), anthologies coming-to-be, and databases containing HUG texts. The aim of this conference is to map the area of this new, growing field of study. In this interdisciplinary conference on Humanist Greek, we consider the scope and meaning of the phenomenon and the texts written in this archaizing form of Greek.
We invite papers dealing with topics such as:
– the concept of Humanist Greek/Renaissance Greek/etc. vs Neo-Latin
– representative/interesting/central texts in Humanist Greek
– writers of Humanist Greek from a specific region or university
– linguistic features of Humanist Greek texts or one particular text
– editing Humanist Greek texts
– imitation strategies of Humanist Greek – of Homer, Hesiod, etc.
– relationship with contemporary (modern) Greek, especially “Church Greek” (liturgical Greek)
– sociolinguistic approaches: who wrote to whom and why – social networks
– translations: when were HUG texts translated into Latin or a local vernacular?
There is no conference fee and there is a chance (especially for students) to be considered for a travel grant.
Please send a ca. 300-word abstract for a 20-minute paper in English or German to
tua.korhonen@helsinki.fi and erkki.sironen@helsinki.fi no later than March 1, 2018.
Please include in a separate file your affiliation, e-mail address, and a short list of relevant
publications. We will inform/notify you of acceptance by April 30, 2018.
Helleno-Nordica is funded by the Swedish Research Council and conducted by the Universities of Lund, Helsinki, and Tartu.

Syntheses historiques
Et si la chute de l’Empire romain n’avait jamais eu lieu ?
La “chute” de l’Empire romain ne cesse de faire couler beaucoup d’encre. Plus encore, elle a suscite’ un nombre de publications sans precedent ces dernieres annees. On la traite a’ tort comme une enigme historique qu’il s’agirait de resoudre en identifiant les causes, alors que c’est bien la longevite’ de l’Empire romain qui releve de l’enigmatique. Si elle fascine autant, c’est parce qu’elle agit tel un miroir refletant les peurs contemporaines du declin et de l’effondrement, qui connaissent aujourd’hui un nouvel essor au sein de l'”Empire americain” comme de l’Union europeenne.
Si ce livre raconte et interroge naturellement le dernier siecle de l’empire d’Occident, il entend montrer que sa “chute” est largement un fantasme. Non seulement il est impossible d’en epuiser la realite’, mais encore la culture occidentale semble n’avoir aucun desir d’y renoncer. La raison en est peut-etre que cet abandon mettrait en cause le pessimisme foncier qui la sous-tend. Cette “chute” est devenue une histoire sans fin, car on s’efforce en vain d’accumuler les facteurs incertains d’un evenement sans contours definissables, tandis qu’elle sert en realite’ de miroir et d’exutoire a’ nos angoisses.

Gregoire de Nazianze est probablement avec Augustin celui des Peres que nous connaissons le mieux “de l’interieur”. Car, s’il ne nous a pas laisse’ a’ proprement parler de “Confessions” comme Augustin, l’homme et le spirituel sont bien la’, tout entiers, dans sa correspondance, l’une des plus importantes que nous ait leguee l’Antiquite’, tout comme dans ses poemes autobiographiques ou moraux.
Derriere le verbe cisele’ et l’expression hautement maitrisee, nous rencontrons un homme profondement humain, laissant court a’ l’expression de sentiments tres personnels comme la deception ou la desillusion quant a’ la verite’ de l’amitie’, la profondeur du combat theologique ou meme les ambitions de certains prelats qu’il n’hesite pas a’ traiter “d’epiciers de la foi” ou de “faussaires d’impots”… Ne nous y trompons pas. Ce mal d’insatisfaction qui le fit par deux fois renoncer a’ un siege episcopal (d’abord d’une toute petite bourgade de Cappadoce, Sasimes, ou’ il n’est jamais alle’, puis du prestigieux siege de Constantinople en 381) n’est que la trace en creux de quelque chose de bien plus fort, comme de cet absolu de sa passion pour le Verbe divin.
Pretre du Logos, Gregoire se sentira parfois depasse’, incapable de guider ses freres dans la contemplation de ce Mystere si ancien et si nouveau meme si sa predication a’ la veille du concile de Constantinople en 381 s’avera decisive pour le triomphe de l’orthodoxie et lui vaudra la fiere epithete de “Gregoire le Theologien”… Ce sera alors le temps de la retraite et du silence mais pour une fecondite’ dont nous vivons encore, l’enfantement de la culture antique au Christ-Logos. C’est a’ la rencontre de cette prodigieuse et deconcertante personnalite’ que nous a convies cette derniere Petite Journee de Patristique consacree a’ Gregoire de Nazianze.
