Description
What can man know about God? This question became one of the main problems during the 4th-century Trinitarian controversy, which is the focus of this book. Especially during the second phase of the conflict, the claims of Anomean Eunomius caused an emphatic response of Orthodox writers, mainly Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa. Eunomius formulated two ways of theology to show that we can know both the substance (ousia) and activities (energeiai) of God. The Orthodox Fathers demonstrated that we can know only the external activities of God, while the essence is entirely incomprehensible. Therefore the 4th-century discussion on whether the Father and the Son are of the same substance was the turning point in the development of negative theology and shaping the Christian conception of God.

Description et organisation
Il y a plus de cinquante ans, les premiers coups de pioche étaient donnés sur le site d’Aï Khanoum, au nord-est de l’Afghanistan.
Les fouilles archéologiques, menées entre 1964 et 1978 par Paul Bernard, directeur de la Délégation archéologique française en Afghanistan, et son équipe ont révélé l’existence d’une grande ville grecque. Ils ont alors découvert un palais, des temples, un théâtre, un gymnase ainsi que la sépulture du fondateur de la ville, Kinéas, qui fut peut-être un officier de l’armée d’Alexandre le Grand. Ces fouilles ont également mis au jour deux fragments d’une stèle, dite « stèle des 147 maximes delphiques » définissant les règles de conduite morale et sociale de la cité.
Commissaires de l’exposition :
Ville de Pithiviers – Direction de l’action culturelle
Guy Lecuyot, chercheur associé au laboratoire d’archéologie de l’École normale supérieure
Alain Thiollier, ancien attaché économique et commercial à l’ambassade de France en Afghanistan
Date
27 octobre au 24 novembre 2018

Description
This book explores how early Christian communities constructed, developed, and asserted their identity and authority in various socio-cultural contexts in Asia Minor and Greece in the first five centuries CE. With the help of the database Inscriptiones Christianae Graecae (ICG), special attention is given to ancient inscriptions which represent a rich and valuable source of information on the early Christians’ social and religious identity, family networks, authority structures, and place and function in society. This collection of essays by various specialists of Early Christianity, Epigraphy, and Late Antiquity, offers a broad geographical survey of the expansion and socio-cultural development of Christianity/ies in Asia Minor and Greece, and sheds new light on the religious transformation of the Later Roman Empire.

Description
Round Trip to Hades in the Eastern Mediterranean Tradition explores how the theme of visiting the Underworld and returning alive has been treated, transmitted and transformed in the ancient Greek and Byzantine traditions. The journey was usually a descent (katabasis) into a dark and dull place, where forgetfulness and punishment reigned, but since ‘everyone’ was there, it was also a place that offered opportunities to meet people and socialize. Famous Classical round trips to Hades include those undertaken by Odysseus and Aeneas, but this pagan topic also caught the interest of Christian writers. The contributions of the present volume allow the reader to follow the passage from pagan to Christian representations of Hades – a passage that may seem surprisingly effortless.

Description
The mind-body relation was at the forefront of philosophy and theology in late antiquity, a time of great intellectual innovation. This volume, the first integrated history of this important topic, explores ideas about mind and body during this period, considering both pagan and Christian thought about issues such as resurrection, incarnation and asceticism. A series of chapters presents cutting-edge research from multiple perspectives, including history, philosophy, classics and theology. Several chapters survey wider themes which provide context for detailed studies of the work of individual philosophers including Numenius, Pseudo-Dionysius, Damascius and Augustine. Wide-ranging and accessible, with translations given for all texts in the original language, this book will be essential for students and scholars of late antique thought, the history of religion and theology, and the philosophy of mind.

Description and organization
The 15th annual conference of the International Federation of Associations of Classical Associations / Fédération Internationale des Associations d’Études Classiques (FIEC) will take place in conjunction with the 2019 Classical Association Annual conference on 4th-8th July 2019 in the Institute of Education (UCL) in Bloomsbury London. FIEC business meetings will take place on 4th July, and the conference proper will begin on 5th July. We expect hundreds of classicists from all over the world and at any stage in their career to attend, to hear plenary lectures from international leaders in our field, to present and hear papers, to participate in debates and discussions and to take part in cultural activities and workshops.
The Programme Committee is now inviting proposals for panels and posters.
The Programme Committee aims to select a range of panels that reflects the breadth of traditional and non-traditional classics, including but not limited to Greek and Latin literatures of all periods, linguistics, ancient history in its widest sense, philosophy and religion, art and archaeology, Neo-Latin and Byzantine studies, and the past and current reception of the classics in all media and in different cultures and traditions. We also welcome panels drawing on comparative and interdisciplinary studies. We anticipate there will be panels discussing national traditions in classical research and that some panels will deal with non-Greek peoples such as Etruscans, Persians and Phoenicians. We especially encourage panels dealing with pedagogy and outreach.
Please send all proposals to fiec2019@ucl.ac.uk

Descripción y organización
La Jornada “Corrientes filosófico-religiosas en la antigüedad tardía. Resonancias en el pensamiento contemporáneo” –que se desarrolla en el marco del Proyecto de Investigación VRID 1829–, está destinada a indagar en una posible visión unitaria del rico y matizado friso de ideas filosóficas y religiosas que han florecido entre los siglos III a.n.e. y el IV d.n.e., resultado del entrecruzamiento en Occidente de las escuelas filosóficas de pitagóricos, platónicos, aristotélicos, estoicos, escépticos, epicúreos, gnósticos, neoplatónicos, y de las corrientes hermetistas, teúrgicas, cabalistas y alquímicas. Las investigaciones se realizarán a la luz del estudio integral de las fuentes textuales de estas escuelas y abarcarán singularidades, contactos, influencias, reacciones y, asimismo, resonancias en la cultura y el pensamiento actuales.

Description et organisation
Cette journée d’étude est centrée sur un phénomène bien répandu à l’époque tardive, à savoir la sacralisation de figures païennes appartenant aux temps anciens. En effet, ce phénomène relève d’une tendance générale à sacraliser, et parfois diviniser, les sages du passé, ainsi que quelques livres considérés comme indispensables au développement de la paideia et au progrès moral et spirituel. À travers des études de cas, cette journée porte sur des portraits littéraires et figuratifs de sages païens anciens qui ont été sacralisés et ainsi insérés dans une chaîne de savoir(s). Nous nous proposons de détecter des sources dans lesquelles une réelle sacralisation des figures païennes anciennes est attestée. De surcroît, nous interrogerons les raisons de l’emploi et de l’éventuelle « re-sémantisation » de ces figures par rapport au contexte culturel et historique originel.
