Open Access Journal: Revue de pédagogie des langues anciennes

Revue de pédagogie des langues anciennes

ISSN: 2967-4034

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.

The Play of Language in Ancient Greek Comedy: Comic Discourse and Linguistic Artifices of Humour, from Aristophanes to Menander

The Play of Language in Ancient Greek Comedy: Comic Discourse and Linguistic Artifices of Humour, from Aristophanes to Menander

Edited by: Kostas E. Apostolakis and Ioannis M. Konstantakos

 

Volume 154 in the series Trends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes

https://doi.org/10.1515/9783111295282

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.

Inscriptions of Greek Cyrenaica - Greek Verse Inscriptions of Cyrenaica

[First posted in AWOL 30 August 2017, updates (Second Edition) 23 April 2024]

Inscriptions of Greek Cyrenaica - Greek Verse Inscriptions of Cyrenaica. Second Edition

About

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.

The project

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 1^st 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.

Creating Ethnicities & Identities in the Roman World

Creating Ethnicities & Identities in the Roman World

Andrew Gardner (Editor), Edward Herring (Editor), Kathryn Lomas (Editor) 

Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies Supplements

Published in association with: Institute of Classical Studies

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.

The Afterlife of Apuleius

The Afterlife of Apuleius

F. Bistagne (Editor), C. Boidin (Editor), R. Mouren (Editor) 

Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies Supplements

Published in association with: Institute of Classical Studies

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.

Material Culture of Mesopotamia and Beyond 1: People and their Environment in First Millennium BCE Babylonia

Material Culture of Mesopotamia and Beyond 1: People and their Environment in First Millennium BCE Babylonia

editors: Cousin L., Quillien L., Ramez M.

  

 Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta, 319

This volume is dedicated to the material culture of Babylonia and its neighbouring regions as documented in cuneiform texts. It presents the results of research conducted in the framework of the Franco-Austrian collaborative project ANR-FWF Material Culture of Babylonia during the 1st millennium BC (MCB). The case studies presented here cover different aspects of the material environments in palatial, temple, and private contexts and consider material culture in a broad sense, concentrating not only on the physical nature of manufactured objects but also on the status of their makers, on their working conditions and technologies, and the contexts of production and consumption. They thus propose an approach to socio-economic history which focuses on the concrete and visible aspects of ancient society.

This book is published open access. It can be downloaded here.

The Nag Hammadi Codices and their Ancient Readers: Exploring Textual Materiality and Reading Practice

The Nag Hammadi Codices and their Ancient Readers: Exploring Textual Materiality and Reading Practice

Paul Linjamaa, Lunds Universitet, Sweden

Since their discovery in 1945, the Nag Hammadi Codices have generated questions and scholarly debate as to their date and function. Paul Linjamaa contributes to the discussion by offering insights into previously uncharted aspects pertinent to the materiality of the manuscripts. He explores the practical implementation of the texts in their ancient setting through analyses of codicological aspects, paratextual elements, and scribal features. Linjamaa's research supports the hypothesis that the Nag Hammadi texts had their origins in Pachomian monasticism. He shows how Pachomian monks used the texts for textual edification, spiritual development and pedagogical practices. He also demonstrates that the texts were used for perfecting scribal and editorial practice, and that they were used as protective artefacts containing sacred symbols in the continuous monastic warfare against evil spirits. Linjamaa's application of new material methods provides clues to the origins and use of ancient texts, and challenges preconceptions about ancient orthodoxy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
