Webinar: Live from the Agora - The Royal Stoa
Live from the Agora - The Royal Stoa
About the Webinar:
The Athenian Agora was the economic, political and legal center of the ancient city. Located in the heart of modern Athens and attracting more than half a million international visitors annually, the American School has conducted excavations at the site since 1931.
In the lead-up to our 90th anniversary of the Athenian Agora Excavations, the American School of Classical Studies is pleased to announce a series of webinars that highlight important buildings, monuments and moments throughout the history of these excavations.
The Royal Stoa was one of the most important buildings for the administration of Athens.
Identified by Pausanias as the "office" of the King Archon, the second most important political and religious position in Athens, this was the site where Socrates was indicted for impiety, importing new gods and corrupting the youth of the city in 399 BC.
Join John Camp, Director of Excavations in the Agora, for a behind the scenes tour of this incredible monument to the Athenian democracy.
About the Speaker:
John McK. Camp II is one of the best known archaeologists in the world and is regarded as the foremost expert on the topography of Athens and Attica. Dr. Camp's long association with the American School’s Athenian Agora excavations dates back to 1966, when he first served as Field Supervisor, later as Assistant Director, and currently as Director (since 1994).
He received his A.B. in Classics from Harvard University (1968), and his M.A. (1972) and Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology (1977) from Princeton University. He was the Andrew W. Mellon Professor at the American School from 1985 to 1996, and since then has served on the faculty of Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, where he is the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Professor of Classics.

La religion des femmes en Grèce ancienne: Mythes, cultes et société
La religion des femmes en Grèce ancienne: Mythes, cultes et société
Lydie Bodiou et Véronique Mehl (éd.)
- Éditeur : Presses universitaires de Rennes
- Collection : Histoire
- Lieu d’édition : Rennes
- Année d’édition : 2009
- Publication sur OpenEdition Books : 25 août 2020
- Nombre de pages : 282 p.
Vingt ans après la publication de La Fille d’Athènes, Mythes, cultes et société, ouvrage majeur de Pierre Brulé, il convient de suivre les traces de ces petites Athéniennes, sans doute devenues épouses et mères et, chemin faisant, de revenir sur les travaux pionniers de cet helléniste hors norme. En effet, il importe de se mettre en quête de la place que le féminin tient dans les mythes et les rites grecs, de reconsidérer la vision que les hommes proposent des pratiques religieuses des femmes et de revisiter les divinités qui les concernent plus spécifiquement, autant de pistes abordées dans le présent ouvrage.
Il s’agit de se demander comment les femmes grecques appréhendaient le domaine cultuel et si elles le faisaient d’une manière particulière, spécifique à leur « nature féminine ». S’agissait-il d’un des seuls domaines dans lequel elles auraient pu trouver une forme d’expression publique et de reconnaissance sociale ? Peut-on parler encore de « citoyenneté cultuelle » pour les femmes grecques ? Il convient toutefois de ne jamais oublier que la « religion des filles c’est celle que les hommes font fonctionner, et d’une certaine façon, utilisent ».
Dans le présent volume des contributions sont rassemblées et organisées autour de trois parties : les figures féminines, déesses et héroïnes ; les mots et les noms du féminin et, enfin, les passages et les transmissions féminins.

New Agendas in Remote Sensing and Landscape Archaeology in the Near East is a collection of papers produced in honour of Tony James Wilkinson, who was Professor of Archaeology at Durham University from 2006 until his death in 2014. Though commemorative in concept, the volume is an assemblage of new research representing emerging agendas and innovative methods in remote sensing. The intention is to explore the opportunities and challenges faced by researchers in the field today, and the tools, techniques, and theoretical approaches available to resolve them within the framework of landscape archaeology. The papers build on the traditional strengths of landscape archaeology, such as geoarchaeology and settlement pattern analysis, as well as integrating data sources to address major research questions, such as the ancient economy, urbanism, water management and the treatment of the dead. The authors demonstrate the importance of an interdisciplinary approach for understanding the impact of human activity on shaping the landscape and the effect that landscape has on sociocultural development.
