Abstract

This volume gathers the papers presented during an interdisciplinary research seminar entitled “The individual and his body in the Ancient Mediterranean Basin.” This seminar was at the crossroads of history of religions and social anthropology, creating a dialogue between philologists, archaeologists, historians of religions and anthropologists. Its main aim consisted in studying self-perceptions of the body in the Ancient Near East, with incursions in other parts of the Mediterranean Basin in a comparatist perspective. In this volume, various themes are examined, such as: 1) the relationship between the body and language; 2) the body, perceptions and society, including a study of the senses as they are described in the texts; 3) the body as a symbol of social belonging; 4) the body as a medium for religious experience.

Abstract

Late antiquity is increasingly recognised as a period of important cultural transformation. One of its crucial aspects is the emergence of a new awareness of human individuality. In this book, the authors assess the influence of seminal thinkers, including the Gnostics, Plotinus, and Augustine, but also of cultural and religious practices such as astrology and monasticism, as well as, more generally, the role played by intellectual disciplines such as grammar and Christian theology. The volume serves as a comprehensive introduction to late antique understandings of human individuality.

Abstract

Les convictions religieuses conduisent régulièrement les individus à adopter des comportements particuliers à l’égard de leur corps. Le sujet est éminemment complexe et sensible parce qu’il met à l’épreuve, au plan juridique, le droit au respect de l’intégrité physique et la liberté de religion. Aussi les législateurs et les juges se saisissent-ils de cette question qu’avec la plus grande prudence. Cet ouvrage constitue le fruit d’une étude internationale et pluridisciplinaire inédite dans dix-huit États sur l’appréhension par le droit de l’impact exercé par les religions sur le corps humain.
