Les Cahiers du Centre Gustave Glotz sont nés en 1990, sous la
forme d’un recueil d’articles sur le thème « Du pouvoir dans l’antiquité
», coordonné par Claude Nicolet. Dès l’année suivante, ils se
transformèrent en une revue annuelle d’histoire de l’Antiquité, en
grande partie spécialisée dans l’étude des institutions et des
structures sociales des mondes hellénistique et romain. Les volumes
rassemblent à la fois des dossiers thématiques et des articles de varia,
rédigés le plus souvent en français, en anglais ou en italien.
Notre publication s’intéresse à la
didactique des langues anciennes et propose une réflexion pédagogique
sur la façon de les enseigner, du Secondaire au Supérieur (Collège,
Lycée, CPGE, Université). La revue pourra aussi se faire écho
d’expériences de classe au niveau du Primaire. Convaincue que les
approches pédagogiques d’un degré d’enseignement sont très souvent
transférables aux autres, l’équipe de cette publication vise en même
temps à favoriser le dialogue entre tous les enseignants de langues
anciennes, indépendamment des appartenances associatives ou syndicales.
À vocation pratique, notre
publication vise non seulement à donner des pistes pédagogiques
applicables en cours, mais aussi à nourrir la réflexion des collègues.
Les contributions concernent
l’enseignement des langues grecques et latines ainsi que celui des
cultures et des civilisations qui leur sont associées. Lecture, étude de
la langue, civilisation, lexique, réception de l’Antiquité, usage des
données archéologiques, étymologie, intercompréhension entre les langues
sont autant d’aspects de cet enseignement qui trouveront écho dans
cette revue.
L’équipe du projet réunit des enseignantes et des enseignants de Lettres classiques du Secondaire et du Supérieur.
Cette publication s’inscrit dans
la dynamique et dans le champ de réflexion que plusieurs de ses membres
ont ouvert lors de “L’atelier – Langues et Cultures de l’Antiquité : à
quoi formons-nous les élèves ?”. Cet atelier, organisé les 17 et 18
février 2017 à la Sorbonne, avait réuni une cinquantaine d’enseignants
de langues anciennes du Secondaire et du Supérieur autour de cette
question. Lien vers la manifestation : https://calenda.org/392109?lang=de

Ancient Greek comedy relied primarily on its text and words for the
fulfilment of its humorous effects and aesthetic goals. In the wake of a
rich tradition of previous scholarship, this volume explores a variety
of linguistic materials and stylistic artifices exploited by the Greek
comic poets, from vocabulary and figures of speech (metaphors, similes,
rhyme) to types of joke, obscenity, and the mechanisms of parody. Most
of the chapters focus on Aristophanes and Old Comedy, which offers the
richest arsenal of such techniques, but the less ploughed fields of
Middle and New Comedy are also explored. Emphasis is placed on practical
criticism and textual readings, on the examination of particular
artifices of speech and the analysis of individual passages. The main
purpose is to highlight the use of language for the achievement of the
aesthetic, artistic, and intellectual purposes of ancient comedy, in
particular for the generation of humour and comic effect, the
delineation of characters, the transmission of ideological messages, and
the construction of poetic meaning. The volume will be useful to
scholars of ancient drama, linguists, students of humour, and scholars
of Classical literature in general.
This second edition of the Inscriptions of Greek Cyrenaica (IGCyr) and the Greek Verse Inscriptions of Cyrenaica (GVCyr)
updates two corpora published online in 2017, the first collecting all
the inscriptions of Greek (VII-I centuries B.C.)
Cyrenaica, the second gathering the Greek
metrical texts of all periods (VI B.C.-VI A.D.). These new critical
editions of
inscriptions from Cyrenaica are part of
the international project Inscriptions of Libya (InsLib). They now include all the inscriptions known to us in February 2024, coming from this area of the ancient Mediterranean
world, assembled in a single online and open access publication.
In this section you will find general information about the project IGCyr-GVCyr. First of all the origin of the project and the history of its evolution into the wider international project Inscriptions of Libya (InsLib)
are presented; secondly the composition of the corpora and the
specifics of the digital edition are described; next you
will find a sketch of the history of Greek
Cyrenaica; then an outline of the history of scholarship regarding
archaeological
and epigraphic research about Cyrenaica.
A comprehensive corpus of the
inscriptions of Greek Cyrenaica was a longstanding desideratum among the
scholars of the ancient
world. Greek inscriptions from Archaic,
Classical and Hellenistic Cyrenaica were up to 2017 scattered among many
different,
sometimes outdated publications, while new
texts had been discovered and edited in between. After the launching of
the 1st
edition, some errors were detected, new finds and some neglected
fragments were available for addition, further studies were
published, making a second edition
desirable. Moreover, with the new tool EFES, implementing a digital
epigraphical corpus
was made much easier.

Questions of ethnic and cultural identities are central to the contemporary understanding of the Roman world.
The expansion of Rome across Italy, the Mediterranean, and beyond
entailed encounters with a wide range of peoples. Many of these had
well-established pre-conquest ethnic identities which can be compared
with Roman perceptions of them. In other cases, the ethnicity of peoples
conquered by Rome has been perceived almost entirely through the lenses
of Roman ethnographic writing and administrative structures.
The formation of such identities, and the shaping of these identities
by Rome, was a vital part of the process of Roman imperialism.
Comparisons across the empire reveal some similarities in the processes
of identity formation during and after the period of Roman conquest, but
they also reveal a considerable degree of diversity and localisation in
interactions between Romans and others.
This volume explores how these practices of ethnic categorisation
formed part of Roman strategies of control, and how people living in
particular places internalised them and developed their own senses of
belonging to an ethnic community. It includes both regional studies and
thematic approaches by leading scholars in the field.
Apuleius’ literary and philosophical fortune has been considerable since antiquity, mostly through the reception of The Golden Ass.
The aim of this collection of essays is to highlight a few major
aspects of this afterlife, from the High Middle Ages to early
Romanticism, in the fields of literature, linguistics and philology,
within a wide geographical scope.
The volume gathers the proceedings of an international conference
held in March 2016 at the Warburg Institute in London, in association
with the Institute of Classical Studies. It includes both diachronic
overviews and specific case-studies. A first series of papers focuses on
The Golden Ass and its historical and geographical diffusion,
from High Medieval Europe to early modern Mexico. The oriental
connections of the book are also taken into account. The second part of
the book examines the textual and visual destiny of Psyche’s story from
the Apuleian fabula to allegorical retellings, in poetical or
philosophical books and on stage. As the third series of essays
indicates, the fortunes of the book led many ancient and early modern
writers and translators to use it as a canonical model for reflections
about the status of fiction. It also became, mostly around the beginning
of the fifteenth century, a major linguistic and stylistic reference
for lexicographers and neo-Latin writers : the last papers of the book
deal with Renaissance polemics about ‘Apuleianism’ and the role of
editors and commentators.
The AWOL Index: The bibliographic data presented herein has been programmatically extracted from the content of AWOL - The Ancient World Online (ISSN 2156-2253) and formatted in accordance with a structured data model.
AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
