"This volume tackles the role of smell, under-explored in relation to the other senses, in the modern rejection, reappraisal and idealisation of antiquity. Among the senses olfaction in particular has often been overlooked in classical reception studies due to its evanescent nature, which makes this sense difficult to apprehend in its past instantiations. And yet, the smells associated with a given figure or social group convey a rich imagery which in turn connotes specific values: perfumes, scents and foul odours both reflect and mould the ways in which a society thinks or acts. Smells also help to distinguish between male and female, citizens and strangers, and play an important role during rituals. The Smells and Senses of Antiquity in the Modern Imagination focuses on the representation of ancient smells - both enticing and repugnant - in the visual and performative arts from the late 18th century up to the 21st century. The individual contributions explore painting, sculpture, literature and film, but also museum exhibitions, advertising, television series and graphic novels, which have all played a part in reshaping modern audiences' perceptions and experiences of the antique"

How can we offer researchers methods and tools that will allow them to write a history of antiquity across sexual lines? Relying on the methodology developed by the Eurykleia research group, the papers of this dossier explore the social practices that make women visible, as well as those in which women’s presence, though real, seems to be less visible. The contributions emphasize the role of different modalities and discursive practices in the processes of display, conservation and transmission of women’s names, and shed light on the specific logic of each context: oracular lamellae from Dodona, honorific decrees, conditional endowments, and the treatises of Cicero. The essays challenge certain biases regarding women in antiquity (for example, the so-called “names of hetairai]," and propose a revised vision of social relations in Greece and Rome. Comment offrir aux chercheur-e-s les moyens et les outils permettant de réaliser une histoire mixte de l’Antiquité ? En s’appuyant sur la méthodologie élaborée par le collectif Eurykleia, les articles du dossier explorent les pratiques sociales qui rendent les femmes visibles, mais aussi celles où la présence féminine, quoique réelle, semble plus discrète. Ils mettent l’accent sur le rôle de la modalisation et de la pratique discursive dans les processus d’affichage, de conservation et de transmission du nom des femmes, en éclairant les logiques propres à chaque contexte étudié : lamelles oraculaires de Dodone, décrets honorifiques, fondations sous condition, traités de Cicéron. Les analyses invitent à en finir avec certains préjugés sur les femmes antiques (par exemple, les prétendus "noms de courtisanes") et proposent une vision renouvelée des relations sociales en Grèce et à Rome.
