This book is based on an investigation of more than five hundred recarved portraits. It includes analyses of different recarving methods, some of which can be attributed to geographically localised workshops. The different recarving methods have made it possible to suggest classifiable categories, which together underpin a hypothesis that the late-antique portrait style is a consequence of the many recarved portraits at the time. The practice of portrait recarving emerged due to economic, political, religious and ideological factors, and was influenced by the cultural-historical changes of Late Antiquity. The conclusion gives a new understanding of how wide-ranging, culturally and politically encoded and comprehensive the practice of recarving was.

The forms by which a deceased person may be brought to rest are as many as there are causes of death. In most societies the disposal of the corpse is accompanied by some form of celebration or ritual which may range from a simple act of deportment in solitude to the engagement of large masses of people in laborious and creative festivities. In a funerary context the term ritual may be taken to represent a process that incorporates all the actions performed and thoughts expressed in connection with a dying and dead person, from the preparatory pre-death stages to the final deposition of the corpse and the post-mortem stages of grief and commemoration. The contributions presented here are focused not on the examination of different funerary practices, their function and meaning, but on the changes of such rituals – how and when they occurred and how they may be explained. Based on case studies from a range of geographical regions and from different prehistoric and historical periods, a range of key themes are examined concerning belief and ritual, body and deposition, place, performance and commemoration, exploring a complex web of practices.

Ce livre est issu d’une série de trois colloques à l’École française de Rome qui entendait non pas revenir sur les représentations de la justice, mais s’interroger sur l’usage anthropologique des images juridiques, en partant du fondement antique jusqu’à la période récente où celui-ci est largement relu, commenté et exploité : que signifie avoir droit à l’image ? Comment les enjeux religieux fondent-ils une partie du droit des images depuis l’Antiquité jusqu’à la période moderne ? Quelle place ont les images non seulement dans la production juridique de l’époque moderne et contemporaine, mais également dans l’économie du texte juridique ? Les débats théologiques sur la licéité des images, qui occupent une place historique majeure dans cette réflexion, donnent-ils naissance à une jurisprudence particulière sur les usages ? Cet ouvrage a ainsi pour double vocation de faire dialoguer des spécialistes européens, principalement français, allemands et anglo-saxons issus de plusieurs disciplines, en associant les sciences humaines et les sciences juridiques, et de permettre une réflexion diachronique sur ledroit des images, des images qui créent du droit, des images objets du droit ou encore des fictions juridiques qu’elles soient anciennes ou actuelles. Il permet d’esquisser les contours d’un droit des images et d’un droit aux images qui demeurent encore aujourd’hui l’objet de luttes et de conflits.
