Homère, horizon culturel / Homer as cultural horizon

21-24 octobre 2020

 

Les épopées homériques ne sont pas seulement les œuvres grecques les plus recopiées, étudiées, commentées de toute la tradition occidentale jusqu’à nos jours, elles sont aussi celles qui suscitent, sans que cette fécondité et cet attrait ne se démentent jamais, le plus grand nombre de perspectives critiques diverses en littérature, et plus largement dans les sciences humaines. Elles constituent un laboratoire des études littéraires, de la génétique textuelle, de la critique historique, de l’analyse anthropologique, des humanités numériques, etc. L’objectif de ce colloque est de proposer un état des lieux des avancées récentes de la recherche sur l’œuvre et la tradition homériques. Ce bilan et cette synthèse prendront une forme dialectique par la confrontation des approches et conceptions souvent divergentes développées au cours des dernières décennies, qui ont profondément renouvelés les études homériques. Ils seront organisés en six perspectives, comme on peut le voir sur le site "ad hoc" :

Among Ancient Greek texts, the Homeric epics have certainly been the most often copied, widely studied and thoroughly commented during the whole Western tradition up to this day; furthermore, they have given rise to the largest diversity of critical perspectives in literature, and more generally in humanities. They provide a laboratory of literary studies, textual genetics, historical critic, anthropological analysis, digital humanities, and so on. With this conference, we wish to propose a state of the art of the recent advances in scholarship on the Homeric poems and tradition. This synthetic review will be dialectic in nature, since it will confront the different and often diverging approaches and conceptions which have arisen during the last decades and deeply renewed the field of Homeric studies. It will be organized around six main perspectives, as you can see on the site "ad hoc":
