From the disconnected letters to the science of letters: a meeting of knowledges in the Middle East
In order to interpret the disconnected letters of the Qur’an (ḥurūf muqaṭṭa‘a), Muslim thinkers have based their work on esoteric concepts, sometimes handed down from Antiquity, which have flourished in Islamic lands under the name of the science of letters (‘ilm al-ḥurūf). This international symposium aims to study the various representations of the mysterious letters within the wider framework of the science of letters, and to put them in perspective against similar readings from languages and cultures close to Arabic. Part of the symposium will be held in the historic citadel of Erbil in the heart of ancient Mesopotamia, “the land of the two rivers”, the cradle of early writing.

Elites and crises in ancient societies
Franco-German research workshop for young researchers
Le complexe thématique « élites et crises dans les sociétés antiques » met en avant deux notions fondamentales pour les sciences de l'Antiquité. Malgré un état de la question et des sources globalement favorables, le rapport entre élite(s) et crise(s) n'a guère été analysé de manière systématique. Ce rapport est pourtant primordial pour comprendre les structures d'une société, non seulement pour l'Antiquité. L'atelier de recherche s'adresse aux doctorants et post-doctorants de toutes les disciplines des sciences de l'Antiquité d'Allemagne et de France, et souhaite donner aux jeunes chercheurs l'opportunité de présenter leurs travaux de recherche et leurs approches dans un cadre pluridisciplinaire et binational.

Meet the New Gods, Same as the Old Gods? Formulary, Ritual and Status in Hellenistic Ruler Cult
Panel to be held at the Eighth Celtic Conference in Classics
Despite recent and widespread interest in Greek hero and ruler cult, evaluating the processes that lead to the bestowal of cultic honours on Hellenistic sovereigns still remains a controversial matter. Political readings of such honours within the framework of contemporary international diplomacy and euergetic discourse have picked up on polarities widely discussed by previous bibliography, such as "dynastic vs. civic", "living vs. posthumous", etc. Yet the main focus is still limited to a "top-down" perspective, which leaves aside the fascinating dialectics between "private" and "public", or to perhaps phrase this more accurately, between "institutional" and "non-institutional" actors.
