Abstract

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that there is nothing new or peculiarly Hesychastic in the hagiographie style employed by Patriarch Euthymius, and that this style of "pletenie sloves" was borrowed by him and other medieval Slavic writers from an earlier and long existing Byzantine tradition that predated the Hesychast Revival. In effect, this study attempts to disprove one of the basic assumptions of present scholarship of the period of the Second South Slavic Influence.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage est consacré au rhéteur Grégoire Antiochos, qui servit les Comnènes et les Anges, au moment de l'apogée de la rhétorique byzantine. Sa carrière montre les efforts pathétiques d'un lettré pour approcher l'Empereur et gravir les échelons d'une carrière administrative. Il lui arrive de se décourager, de tomber en disgrâce, mais il n'hésite jamais à utiliser sa plume pour quémander une faveur ou, tout simplement, la protection de personnages influents. L'éloge de Basile II Kamatèros, patriarche à l'époque troublée d Andronic Ier, est un exemple typique de l'activité littéraire de Grégoire Antiochos. Il appartient à un ensemble plus général de discours en l'honneur des pontifes de Constantinople et il constitue une source très importante pour la vie et la carrière de ce patriarche.

Abstract

Replacé dans une longue durée de l'imaginaire qui va du IVe siècle - celui d'Athanase qui écrivit la première Vie de saint Antoine - jusqu'à la fin du XVe siècle, avec le Mystère de saint Antoine en Viennois, en passant par les légendes dorées médiévales, saint Antoine l'ermite, « père des moines », révèle un nouveau visage. Le croisement des savoirs, faisant appel à l'anthropologie et au comparatisme, à l'histoire des idées et des croyances religieuses (pour expliquer le symbole du tau ou celui du cochon associés au saint), à l'histoire de l'art enfin (avec le témoignage d'Huysmans sur la représentation picturale des tentations), permet de scruter cette figure-clé de la «mythologie chrétienne». Ainsi, entre légende et mythe peut se définir, autour d'Antoine le mélancolique et l'initié, l'unité d'une tradition culturelle qui, par-delà les siècles et peut-être même les civilisations, fait dialoguer l'Orient et l'Occident, le texte et l'image, l'Antiquité, le Moyen Âge et la Modernité.

Abstract

"Jewish and early Christian authors discussed Abraham in diverse ways, adapting his Old Testament narratives and using Abrahamic imagery in their works. Beginning with a perspective on how Abraham was used within Jewish literature, this collection of essays follow the impact of Abraham across biblical texts, including Pseudigraphic and Apocryphal texts, into early Greek, Latin and Gnostic literature. While some areas of study in Abrahamic texts have received much scholarly attention, other areas remain nearly untouched. The essays build upon the existing scholarship in the area and add to it by discussing Abraham in less-discussed areas such as Abraham in re-written Scripture and contemporary Greek and Latin authors. Through the presentation of a more thorough outline of the impact of the figure and stories of Abraham, the contributors create a more concise and complete idea of how his narrative was employed throughout the centuries, and how ancient authors adopted and adapted received traditions"--

Abstract

Despite the often-repeated assertion that Buddhism and politics are, or at least must be, separate matters, Buddhism has been closely intertwined with politics one way or another since the Buddha’s time. In Thailand, Buddhism has been used since the end of the 19th century as a tool to legitimate state power. In the following decades, it has been progressively centralized under a national hierarchy, which is still existing today. This scheme was not altered after the change of the country’s political framework in 1932 and political tensions with the sangha came to the fore during the political troubles of the 1970s. The emergence of an increasing political divide in Thailand since the mid-2000s, around two broad groups which have been dubbed the Yellow Shirts and the Red Shirts, has engulfed the monastic community, leading to a growing activism by some Buddhist groups, some temples and some monks. Numerous monks mingled with Red Shirts demonstrators in April-May 2010, and some were on the front-line when the military gave the assault on the Red Shirts’ camp in downtown Bangkok. In the most recent years, these tensions have coalesced around the controversial Dhammakaya temple and have impacted the choice of the leader of the Thai monastic community. Although, tensions within the sangha are nothing new, they have weakened the ability of Buddhism – one of the national pillars of the Thai national ideology – to be a focal point as the country is going through a difficult transition with the end of seven-decades prestigious reign and political uncertainties clouding the horizon.
