Transformations of the Inner Self in Ancient Religions /
:
This collection of papers from two workshops - held in Heidelberg, Germany, in July 1996 and Jerusalem, Israel, in October 1997 - is concerned with anthropological rather than theological aspects of the Near Eastern and Mediterranean religions, ranging from the 'primary' religions of the archaic period and their complex developments in Egypt and Mesopotamia to the 'soteriological' movements and 'secondary' religions that emerged in Late Antiquity. The first part of the book focuses on \'Confession and Conversion\', while the second part is devoted to the topic of \'Guilt, Sin and Rituals of Purification\'. The primary purpose of this volume is to convey a sense of the dynamics and dialectical relationships between the various Near Eastern and Mediterranean religions from the archaic period to Late Antiquity.

We Have Always Been Transcultural: The Arts as an Example /
:
Wolfgang Welsch demonstrates for the first time that transculturality - the mixed constitution of cultures - is by no means only a characteristic of the present, but has de facto determined the composition of cultures since time immemorial. The historical transculturality is demonstrated using examples from the arts. While transculturality was often viewed with reservation where political, social, or psychological levels were at stake, it was rather welcomed and appreciated in the field of art. The book therefore demonstrates the historical prevalence of transculturality via all areas of art and does so with respect to all cultures and continents of our world.

Le Labyrinthe littéraire de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr /
:
Depuis ses débuts avec la nouvelle « La Cale » en 2014, les textes de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr connaissent un succès qui ne se dément pas. Terre ceinte en 2015, Silence du chœur en 2017 et De purs hommes en 2018 ont remporté des prix littéraires de grand renom. Enfin, le jury du prix Goncourt a opté en 2021 avec La plus secrète Mémoire des hommes pour un roman qui offre une métaréflexion littéraire subtile, détaillée et lucide sur l'histoire de la littérature africaine ainsi que sur le milieu littéraire parisien. Ce volume cherche à éclairer les modalités narratives qui permettent à l'auteur de transformer le politique en littérature, mais aussi à situer son œuvre dans le contexte littéraire actuel.

The Comparative Poetics of Homeric Literary Imitation from Antiquity to Renaissance France : Aphrodite's Charm /
:
Aphrodite's famous ribbon known as the cestus , the irresistible love charm that she loaned to Hera in the Iliad, was, thanks to a fruitful early misreading, transformed by ancient, medieval, and Renaissance authors into a symbol of honorable feminine chastity: in Maurice Scève's 1560 Microcosme , an epic rewriting of Genesis, Eve first appears before an astonished Adam wearing the virginal cestus as a symbolic guarantee of her sexual innocence. This book traces the history of this curious development from Homer to the end of the sixteenth century in France. Through analyses of both famous and little-known texts, it illustrates the complexity and fecund liberty of Homeric reception.
