Période cruciale marquée par la guerre gréco-turque, la cristallisation des tensions nationalistes des deux états en opposition et les vicissitudes de la politique intérieure grecque, les années 1919-1922 représentent un tournant décisif pour l’hellénisme d’Asie Mineure. Comment la population grecque de Smyrne va-t-elle vivre ces années de guerre placée sous la tutelle de l’état grec ? Le débarquement militaire et l’établissement de l’Administration hellénique de la ville de Smyrne et de sa région viendront-ils combler les espoirs d’une communauté qui attendait avec ferveur sa « libération » et son rattachement à la Mère Patrie ? L’étude de la presse locale hellénophone permettra d’aborder la problématique de l’identité nationale du groupe par le biais de ses représentations médiatiques. Les modes d’expression du « nous » et les appels à la mobilisation collective constitueront la base des revendications identitaires de l’hellénisme smyrniote à la recherche d’un ancrage national propre. / The years 1919-1922 represent a crucial period marked by the Greco-Turkish war, the climax of nationalist tensions between the two states in conflict and the vicissitudes of the Greek domestic politics. From this point of view they constitute a real turning point for Hellenism in Asia Minor. How did the Greek population of Smyrna live those years of war placed under the mandate of the Hellenic state ? Did the Greek landing and the establishment of the Greek Administration in Smyrna and its region fulfil the hopes of a community that had been longing for “liberation” and its reunion with the Mother Land ? The study of the Greek local press will allow us to examine how the community’s search for national identity is represented in the media. The study will demonstrate that modes of collective expression and various calls for social mobilization constituted the basis that allowed Hellenism of Smyrna to discuss, define and claim a firm and proper national foothold.

This dissertation concerns the sculptural representation of divinity in Hellenistic Central Italy, ca. 200 BCE-100 BCE. In so doing, it tackles the question of the role images played in Roman religion as well as the question of the relationship between Aegean Greek and Central Italian sculpture. Recent publications related to Roman divine images have respectively: a) suggested that the form of images was incidental to their functioning as sacred sculpture; b) proposed that images were not a necessary part of Roman religion; and c) considered the divine images themselves primarily significant as ideological statements on the part of their patrons. Furthermore, most scholarly treatments of sculpted images in Hellenistic Central Italy have to-date siloed architectural from freestanding sculpture, impoverishing the study of both categories of material. Most of these sculptures play little to no role in anglophone histories of ancient art. This project analyses the divine images of Hellenistic Central Italy through the lenses of scale, materiality, and body language. These analytical frames are used to show how the representation of the gods in freestanding and architectural sculpture was meaningfully differentiated from the appearance of sculpted images of mortal people. These differences, as well as the similarities, are highlighted in order to suggest patterns of response, and thereby to propose ways in which the category of ‘the divine’ was constructed in image form. The three lenses of scale, materiality, and body language likewise allow the significant differences, as well as the frequent points of similarity, between ‘Roman’ representations of the gods and the divine images of the Greek world to be elucidated. Chapter 1 presents the evidence from certain key sanctuaries, offering new reconstructions of fragmentary evidence and showing the interrelation between divine images of different kinds in these spaces. Chapter 2 compares divine images with sculpted representations of people through the lens of scale, showing that sculpted images of the gods were crafted at an intentionally ‘inhuman’ scale in Hellenistic Central Italy. Chapter 3 tackles the materiality of divine images, charting the new materials used to embody the gods in the second century BCE and, at the same time, stressing the ways that the use of materials differentiated divine from mortal images. A major theme, across media, is the production of composite, multi-material sculptures of the gods. Chapter 4 assesses the body language of divine images, showing the modifications made to existing sculptural types to make the bodies of the gods more dynamic and interactive to their viewers. The three key elements of divine body language exhibited by the sculpted representations of the gods are grandeur, ease, and engagement with a viewer. The results of this study demonstrate that images of the gods in Italy were constructed so as to differ significantly from the images of mortals. Through these means, images are shown to have embodied a ‘visual theology’, allowing conclusions to be drawn by their viewers about the nature and workings of the divine. In this way, images played an essential role in Roman religion, despite their non-appearance in ritual prescriptions. Further, Roman divine images are revealed to have been significantly different from the images of the gods in the Greek world. This project re-orients the study of the Central Italian images of the gods, focusing on the viewers of sculpture as well as the patrons. The conclusions reached reveal the central role of images in Roman religion in the Hellenistic Period and the value of visual evidence for anthropological approaches to the Roman world. These results regarding divine images provide as yet under-exploited evidence for the relationship between Greek and Roman sculpture.

A la fin du 19° s. les écrivains grecs créent un genre littéraire original, la nouvelle paysanne : une intrigue simple sert de base à la description de la vie et des moeurs dans des petits villages grecs. Ce mouvement a été appelé « étude de moeurs » (ithographie) [ηθογραφία]. Les bouleversements historiques et économiques au tournant du siècle entraînent une crise des valeurs traditionnelles et conduisent les auteurs à élargir leur questionnement. Dans Le Mendiant, Andréas Karkavitsas montre les déterminismes qui font agir les personnages collectifs que sont les paysans du village et les autorités venues les juger. L’individu est le représentant d’un groupe :Tziritokostas représente la classe des mendiants, Valachas la classe aristocratique déchue, Croustallo le groupe des paysannes. Quand ces deux derniers personnages prennent conscience de leur aliénation, le poids de la société est tel qu’il les écrase. Si la liberté est possible, c’est dans la mort. Francoyannou, l’héroïne de La Femme meurtrière d’Alexandre Papadiamandis, est responsable de l’enfer dans lequel elle s’enferme en multipliant les meurtres de fillettes. Le déterminisme, l’aliénation sont les fausses raisons qui lui permettent de se complaire dans ce que le récit révèle être la rumination de son âme froide et dure ; elle persiste dans le mal parce qu'elle refuse sa liberté de créature de Dieu. / At the end of the 19th century, Greek writers created an original genre, the rural novel : a simple plot is the basis for the description of the life and mores in small Greek villages. This movement was called "study of mores" (ithografie) [ηθογραφία]. The historical and economic upheavals at the turn of the century lead to a crisis of traditional values and lead the authors to expand their questioning. In The Beggar, Andreas Karkavitsas shows determinisms which act collective characters that are the peasants of the village and the authorities who came to judge them.The individual always represents a group: Tziritokostas represents the class of beggars, Valachas the aristocratic class toppled over, Croustallo the peasant women. These last two figures are partly aware of their alienation; but the weight of society is such that it crushes them. The freedom is possible just in death. Francoyannou, the heroine of The Murderess of Alexander Papadiamandis, is responsible for the hell in which she locks herself by multiplying little girls murders. Determinism and alienation are the false reasons that allow her to wallow in rumination of her soul cold and hard; she persists in evil because she refuses her freedom of God’s creature.

La période de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle est celle d’une expansion territoriale de l’Europe dans le monde. Cette expansion a cherché à se légitimer par le biais d’un discours qui se voulait humaniste : l’homme blanc, fort de sa supériorité raciale et culturelle, se devait d’aider les autres populations à atteindre un stade avancé de développement.Les historiens français et britanniques ayant travaillé sur l’Égypte lagide y ont, eux aussi, été sensibles. Les hellénistes ont amalgamé l’hellénisme à la culture européenne contemporaine, faisant de l’Égypte hellénistique un modèle. Ce dernier laissait un héritage que seuls les empires européens étaient capables de recueillir. De leur côté, les égyptologues, sensibles aux canons du Nouvel Empire, centrés sur la culture égyptienne, tout en acceptant l’idée du colonialisme civilisateur des barbares, considéraient la présence grecque en Égypte comme un corps étranger déstructurant une société déjà en déclin.Cette présente étude se propose d’analyser la réception de l’Égypte hellénistique à la lueur des paradigmes coloniaux, à travers les écrits de six savants : Pierre Jouguet (1869-1949), Auguste Bouché-Leclercq (1842-1923), Gaston Maspero (1846-1916), John Pentland Mahaffy (1839-1919), Harold Idris Bell (1879-1967) et William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942). / The period from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century is that of a territorial expansion of Europe in the world. This expansion has sought to legitimize itself through a speech that was meant humanistic: the white man, with his racial and cultural superiority, had to help other people reach an advanced stage of development. The French and British historians who have worked on Ptolemaic Egypt have also been affected by it. The Hellenists amalgamated Hellenism to contemporary European culture, making a model of Hellenistic Egypt. This left a legacy that only the European empires were able to collect. For their part, Egyptologists, sensitive to the canons of the New Kingdom, centered on Egyptian culture, while accepting the idea of civilizing colonialism barbarians, saw the Greek presence in Egypt as a foreign body destabilizing a society already in decline. This study aims to analyze the reception of Hellenistic Egypt in light of colonial paradigms, through the writings of six scientists: Pierre Jouguet (1869-1949), Auguste Bouché-Leclercq (1842-1923), Gaston Maspero (1846-1916), John Pentland Mahaffy (1839-1919), Harold Idris Bell (1879-1967) and Flinders Petrie (1853-1942).

O posicionamento de Paulo é entendido no contexto da cultura helenística e dos ideais do império Romano e o judaísmo é discutido a partir de suas múltiplas e complexas facetas e com toda a dinâmica cultural, social, econômica e religiosa em que se insere no período. / Abstract: This research aims at the analysis and evaluation of speech of Paul in Antioquia, in mid of I century BC, with focus in the text 2,11-14 in the Letter to the Galatians, where he discusses with the others leaders of the Church the relationship between Jews and Gentiles, the limits of the adoption of the rites of the Torah. The position of Paul is understood in the context of Hellenistic culture and the ideals of the Roman Empire and the Judaism is discusses from its multiple and complex facets and with the dynamic cultural, social, economic and religious which includes the period. / Mestre

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The expansion of the ancient Kingdom of Macedonia, under the leadership of Alexander The Great, prompted the accession of Hellenic cultural dimensions throughout the West and Middle East in a process of cultural diffusion known as Hellenization. However, hellenistic cultural dominance was not without struggle Thus, this research has proposed as an hypothesis that the Old Testament book of Daniel is a result of a socio-religious experience that countered epicureanism by highlighting the principle of faithfulness to Yahweh. Daniel’s apocalypse offers a conception that the Jewish monotheistic deity interferes history in a conclusive manner, since in the end of time it will be judging all of the infidels (Dan 7: 13-14). Such philosophical system believed that the gods were in a state of ataraxia, blissfulness, serenity, antipathetic to any human feeling. Therefore, from a cultural approach of the religious phenomenon it has been scrutinized if the book of Daniel, written in an apocalyptic language, presents a proposal of socio-religious way of life posing an antithesis to the Epicurean doctrine while fostering the maintenance of a Jewish identity related to the divine figure of Yahweh in the second century BCE. / A expansão do império macedônico, sob a égide de Alexandre o Grande, impulsionou a adesão de dimensões culturais helênicas pelo mundo Ocidental e Médio-Oriental em um processo de circularidade cultural denominado de helenização. Contudo, houve contestações à dominação cultural helenística. Desse modo, esta pesquisa propôs como hipótese que, o livro veterotestamentário Daniel é produto de uma experiência sócio-religiosa e se opôs ao epicurismo colocando em evidência o princípio de fidelidade a Javé. O apocalipse daniélico apresenta uma concepção de que a divindade monoteísta judaica interfere na história de modo definitivo, pois no final dos tempos julgará todos os infiéis (Dn 7, 13-14). Esta percepção se opõe sobremaneira ao pensamento de uma escola filosófica do período helenístico, a epicurista. Tal sistema filosófico veiculava que os deuses eram ataráxicos, bem aventurados, imperturbáveis, incompatível com qualquer sentimento humano. Então, a partir de uma abordagem cultural do fenômeno religioso investigou-se, se o livro de Daniel, redigido em uma linguagem apocalíptica, apresenta uma proposta de modo de vida, na qual é possível perceber uma contra-argumentação à doutrina epicurista ao mesmo tempo em que fomentava a manutenção de uma identidade judaica ligada a divindade Javé no II séc. a.E.C. / São Cristóvão, SE

Le but de ce travail est d’étudier une composante de la société de l’Afrique romaine, constituée par les allogènes originaires de la partie orientale de l’Empire. Le cadre de cette étude est le Haut-Empire romain, car l’essentiel de la documentation dont on dispose date de cette époque. L’épigraphie est la principale documentation. Avant de passer à l’étude de ce sujet, il était essentiel de déterminer les clés de sélection qui ont aidé à fixer l’origine de ces allogènes et à dégager le corpus des 260 notices épigraphiques qui constituent le support de ce travail. Le principal outil pris en considération est l’onomastique, tout en tenant compte du caractère parfois imprécis de cet indice. Ensuite, plusieurs aspects de la présence de ces Orientaux étaient étudiés. En premier lieu l’aspect démographique ainsi que la répartition sur le sol africain. Le second aspect est le volet social. Il a pour but d’étudier les diverses caractéristiques de la présence de cette communauté d’Orientaux. D’abord, la nature des activités qu’ils pratiquaient. Si le métier des armes était leur vocation majeure, ils exerçaient néanmoins plusieurs autres activités. L’étude de leur vie religieuse a montré qu’ils sont restés majoritairement fidèles aux cultes de leurs pays. L’onomastique ou encore les pratiques matrimoniales ont été des indices qui ont servi à étudier la nature des contacts qu’ils ont eu avec les Afro-romains et à évaluer leur intégration dans la société d’accueil. En dernier lieu, une partie du travail a été consacrée à l’étude du phénomène culturel qu’est l’hellénisme et du rôle que ces Orientaux ont joué dans la promotion de ce genre de culture. / The aim of the present work is to study a component of the Roman African society: the one constituted by the aliens originating from the Eastern part of the Roman Empire. The study is framed within the Early Roman Empire, as most of the documentation available dates back to that period. Epigraphy is the primary documentation for this work. Before turning to the study of this subject, it was essential to identify selection keys that helped fix the origin of these non-natives and come up with the body of 260 epigraphic records that constitute the corpus of this work. The main tool taken into consideration is onomastic, notwithstanding the vagueness sometimes inherent in this index. Thereafter, light was shed on the many aspects of the presence of these Orientals. First, the demographic layer: figuring, motives, conditions and structures of departure and the distribution on the African soil. The second layer concerns the social aspect. It aims to explore the various features of the presence of the Oriental community in Roman Africa. First, the nature of the activities they exercised. If the job of arms was their main vocation, they still exercised several other activities. The study of their religious life showed that they remained largely faithful to the worship practices of their home countries. Onomastic and also marriage practices were clues that were used to study the nature of the contacts they had with Africans and evaluate their integration within the host society. The last part of the work was devoted to the study of the cultural phenomenon of Hellenism and the role that these Orientals played in promoting this kind of culture in a predominantly Latin province.

This thesis presents a research on Vanth and Charun type demon depicted on relief urns from northern Etruria. The research focuses on urns from the Hellenistic period in Etruria (from the end of the 4th till 1st century BC). These urns were made in workshops in three Etruscan cities, which are now called Volterra, Chiusi and Perugia. The urns along with the centers of their production are described in one of the introductory chapters. Subsequently, the thesis focuses on a female demon Vanth and a male demon Charun, identified by their names inscribed on various media. Based on these, basic characteristics of these demons are evaluated and used as a basis for identification of demons on the relief urns in the database. The database is the core of the thesis. Its items are then classified by the production centers and the type of scenes that are in the reliefs on the front of the urns. Description of the urns is supplemented by pictures labeled with the names of the demons identified for a better representation. The data followed in the database are summarized in two analytical tables attached to the thesis. The database is evaluated in the last chapter and the appearance of demons and the attributes they hold in their hands are paid attention to. They are often related to the involvement of Vanth...
