Abstract

Ancient religions are definitely complex systems of gods, which resist our understanding. Divine names provide fundamental keys to gain access to the multiples ways gods were conceived, characterized, and organized. Among the names given to the gods many of them refer to spaces: cities, landscapes, sanctuaries, houses, cosmic elements. They reflect mental maps which need to be explored in order to gain new knowledge on both the structure of the pantheons and the human agency in the cultic dimension. By considering the intersection between naming and mapping, this book opens up new perspectives on how tradition and innovation, appropriation and creation play a role in the making of polytheistic and monotheistic religions. Far from being confined to sanctuaries, in fact, gods dwell in human environments in multiple ways. They move into imaginary spaces and explore the cosmos. By proposing a new and interdisciplinary angle of approach, which involves texts, images, spatial and archeaeological data, this book sheds light on ritual practices and representations of gods in the whole Mediterranean, from Italy to Mesopotamia, from Greece to North Africa and Egypt. Names and spaces enable to better define, differentiate, and connect gods.

Abstract

Settlement names are the type of geographical names or toponyms that people come across most often. In Slovenia, their unification or standardization is handled by the Commission for Standardization of Geographical Names of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, which is based at the Anton Melik Geographical Institute of the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The Commission operates mainly on the basis of UN resolutions on geographical names, Slovenian orthography and Slovenian legislation on geographical names, and publishes standardized geographical names in standardization documents (such as maps and gazetteers) and online on the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia. There are more than 6,000 settlement names in Slovenia, a fifth of which are disputed for various reasons and should be corrected.The book ('Disputed names of settlements in Slovenia') first discusses basic terms in the field of geographical names, especially settlement names, then describes the methodology for determining disputed settlement name in Slovenia and proposes corrected names of disputed names, and finally presents standardized names on maps at a scale of 1: 1,000,000 and 1:250,000 and in the Register of Geographical Names or REZI, which is the largest database of geographical names in Slovenia. Imena naselij so tista vrsta zemljepisnih imen ali toponimov, s katerimi se ljudje najpogosteje srečujemo. V Sloveniji za njihovo poenotenje ali standardizacijo skrbi Komisija za standardizacijo zemljepisnih imen Vlade Republike Slovenije, ki ima sedež na Geografskem inštitutu Antona Melika Znanstvenoraziskovalnega centra Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti. Komisija deluje predvsem na podlagi resolucij OZN o zemljepisnih imenih, slovenskega pravopisa ter slovenske zakonodaje o zemljepisnih imenih, standardizirana zemljepisna imena pa objavlja v standardizacijskih dokumentih (na primer na zemljevidih in v imenikih zemljepisnih imen) ter na spletu Geodetske Uprave Republike Slovenije. V Sloveniji je več kot 6000 naselij, od katerih jih ima petina zaradi različnih razlogov sporna imena, ki bi morala biti popravljena.Knjiga najprej obravnava temeljne izraze s področja zemljepisnih imen, še posebej imen naselij, nato opiše metodologijo določanja spornih imen naselij v Sloveniji in predlaga popravljena imena spornih imen, na koncu pa predstavi že standardizirana imena na zemljevidih v merilih 1 : 1.000.000 in 1 : 250.000 ter v Registru zemljepisnih imen REZI, ki je največja zbirka zemljepisnih imen v Sloveniji.

Abstract

Les grands événements de l’époque moderne ont créé de nombreuses occasions de changer de nom et, en même temps, de fixer de nouvelles identités collectives par la création d’un patrimoine onomastique. La mobilité spatiale et sociale se trouve souvent au coeur des mécanismes de ces changements. Au travers des liens entre mobilité et anthroponymie, ce livre propose de nouvelles voies pour étudier l’histoire des noms. Los grandes acontecimientos del periodo moderno crearon numerosas ocasiones para cambiar de nombre y, a la vez, fijar identidades colectivas nuevas mediante la creación de un patrimonio onomástico. La movilidad espacial y social se encuentra con frecuencia en el corazón de los mecanismos de estos cambios. A través de los lazos existentes entre movilidad y antroponimia, este libro propone nuevas vías y numerosos instrumentos de análisis para estudiar la historia de los nombres. La situación de diversas regiones de Europa (Italia del norte, Mallorca, Navarra o Extremadura), el juego de los cambios onomásticos entre numerosos grupos de emigrantes (castellanos que han partido a las Indias, catalanes en Italia, irlandeses en Francia o en España), los efectos de la expansión europea sobre el dominio colonial (nombres del Inca, nombres de indígenas y de esclavos, nombres de soldados coloniales) son los principales temas examinados en el presente libro.

Abstract

This volume focuses on the names of Slovenian regions and how they are connected with regional identity. The introduction defines the basic terms and provides an overview of Slovenian research on geographical names. The second part chronologically outlines the sources of the names of regions, starting with archival material. This is followed by an overview of modern maps and registers by the Slovenian Surveying and Mapping Authority (GURS), and, finally, geographical regionalizations are presented as a source of the names of regions. The third part presents the results of collecting the names of regions as part of a survey. The findings show the following: the names of regions reflect regional identity and represent an important factor in the residents’ minds, they are not hierarchically structured, the majority are deeply rooted among people, some are disappearing, and the share of newly established names is negligible. In people’s minds, the names of regions have an unclearly defined denotation or scope and, like other linguistic elements, change over time. Monografija se osredinja na imena slovenskih pokrajin in njihovo povezavo s pokrajinsko identiteto. V uvodnem delu opredelimo temeljne pojme in podamo pregled obravnave zemljepisnih imen pri nas. V drugem delu kronološko pretresemo vire pokrajinskih imen, začenši z arhivskim gradivom. Sledi pregled novejših zemljevidov ter registrov Geodetske uprave Republike Slovenije (GURS). Na koncu so kot vir pokrajinskih imen predstavljene geografske regionalizacije. V tretjem delu so predstavljeni rezultati zbiranja pokrajinskih imen s pomočjo anketiranja. Med sklepnimi ugotovitvami lahko izpostavimo, da pokrajinska imena zrcalijo pokrajinsko identiteto in so pomemben dejavnik v zavesti njihovih prebivalcev, da niso hierarhično razporejena, pa tudi, da jih je večina trdo zakoreninjenih, da nekatera izginjajo in da je delež na novo uveljavljenih zanemarljiv. V zavesti ljudi imajo pokrajinska imena nejasno definiran denotat oziroma obseg in se, tako kot ostale jezikovne prvine, sčasoma spreminjajo.

Abstract

Le colloque organisé en décembre 2015 dans le cadre d’un partenariat entre les Archives nationales et la Société française d’onomastique visait à approfondir la réflexion sur une question qui intéresse au premier chef les chercheurs en onomastique mais qui, dans un cadre plus large, concerne aussi les historiens, à savoir les sources. Quels documents peuvent constituer des sources pertinentes pour l’étude des noms propres ? Comment peut-on les évaluer en fonction de leur origine et de leur spécificité (inscriptions, documents diplomatiques, listes nominatives, cartes etc.) ? Quelle exploitation en faire, selon les méthodes propres à chaque champ disciplinaire ou dans une perspective interdisciplinaire (histoire et sciences auxiliaires, cartographie, géographie, linguistique, philologie etc.) ? Ce thème fait l’objet des trois premières parties de l’ouvrage. La première est consacrée aux sources relatives à une période ou à une aire géographique particulières ; elles y sont considérées du point de vue de leur multiplicité. Se trouvent ensuite abordées la question de certains types spécifiques de sources écrites, puis celle des sources orales et de la dialectologie. La quatrième partie, consacrée au second thème du colloque (la toponymie urbaine de Paris et sa banlieue), envisage les problèmes de dénomination qui résultent des bouleversements provoqués par l’urbanisation depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine. Elle traite de la dénomination des voies urbaines mais aussi de celle d’autres lieux ou édifices, comme les établissements scolaires, dans une perspective historique et culturelle.

Abstract

Dossier : Quel rapport l’image entretient-elle avec le support qui la véhicule ? Les vases attiques fournissent une quantité de représentations souvent traitées comme si elles étaient plates et immatérielles. Ce dossier questionne cette matérialité selon deux axes : comment l’image s’adapte-t-elle aux surfaces rondes, sphériques, circulaires du vase ? Varia : Paradigmes masculins (le vieux Priam, le héros euripidéen, sophistes platoniciens, Hermès au gymnase, Ésope). Archéologie d'un mythe (les Arimaspes). Étiologie. Conférence Gernet : Aube de la cité, aube des images ?
