Abstract

A selection of essays on symbola, as the tokens of Classical Athens were called, bringing together scholars of various disciplines and professional categories (numismatists, historians, museum curators) that intends to reshape our knowledge on the roles these objects played in the Athenian Democracy. This is a series of case studies which aspires to test old theories and probe new assumptions. The first section explores the extent to which our knowledge has evolved since symbola were first distinguished from coins. Four essays demonstrate how tokens, as material manifestations of particular institutions, contributed to the formation of civic and political identity in the city-state of Athens and the roles they played in ensuring legal and political equality. The second section of the volume on new finds aims to develop expertise in studying tokens and increase relevant knowledge. Finally, a third section contains comparative studies from Sicily, Jerusalem and Ephesos, aiming to adopt a comparative methodology for a better understanding of the characteristics and roles of tokens from across the ancient Mediterranean.

Abstract

Un des arguments élaborés par les adversaires de la dèmokratia, le régime politique qui se met en place à Athènes au cours du Ve siècle avant notre ère, est que le peuple, bruyant et irréfléchi, serait incapable de délibérer. Aussi les décisions qu’il prend, tant à l’Assemblée qu’au sein des tribunaux populaires, lui seraient-elles toujours dictées par d’habiles démagogues, « meneurs du peuple ». Sur la colline de la Pnyx où se tiennent les séances de l’Assemblée ou sur les bancs des tribunaux, les citoyens athéniens sont accusés de se comporter comme au théâtre, en simples spectateurs de leur vie politique. Comment comprendre ce topos de la démocratie vue comme un spectacle ? Dans quel contexte historique s’est-il formé ? Que nous apprend-il des pratiques délibératives des Athéniens ? Le jugement de valeur qu’il implique est-il fondé ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles ce livre tente de répondre, amenant à revenir sur une conception exclusivement dialogique de la délibération. En effet, si aucun moment n’est explicitement dédié au dialogue pendant l’Assemblée et les séances des tribunaux, les échanges permanents entre les participants constituent une délibération informelle qui, avant même le vote à main levée, rend effective la souveraineté populaire. Ainsi, cette enquête n’entend pas concerner seulement les spécialistes du monde grec mais tous ceux qui s’intéressent aux questions de la délibération et de la participation, à la démocratie.

Abstract

Geographic Variation, Speciation and Clines explores the origins and development of geographic variation, divergence, and speciation. In particular it is concerned with genetic divergence as it is usually found on continents, among groups of populations isolated only by distance. Although earlier writers on this topic considered the effects of geography and dispersal, intense geographic differentiation and speciation were thought to require complete isolation. Professor Endler shows how geographic differentiation and speciation may develop in spite of continuous gene flow. Following a review of the diverse and scattered literature on gene flow and population differentiation, the author discusses the relationships among gene flow, dispersal, and migration. He then summarizes the factors which limit the geographic extent of gene flow, and those which allow steep clines to develop in the absence of barriers to gene flow. His analysis draws on examples from the field, experiments, and single- and multiple-locus models. The mechanism and conditions for parapatric speciation are presented: steepening clines, development into hybrid zones, and the evolution of sexual isolation. In the final chapter the author considers the interpretation of natural clines and the associated geographic patterns of subspecies and species.

Abstract

The medieval poem "Cursor Mundi" is a biblical verse account of the history of the world, offering a chronological overview of salvation history from Creation to Doomsday. Originating in northern England around the year 1300, the poem was frequently copied in the north before appearing in a southern version in substantially altered form. Although it is a storehouse of popular medieval biblical lore and a fascinating study in the eclectic use of more than a dozen sources, the poem has until now attracted little scholarly attention. This five-part collaborative edition presents the Arundel version of the poem with variants from three others.

Abstract

"Les dèmes, circonscriptions administratives de la cité d’Athènes, constituent un observatoire privilégié pour l’étude des sociétés antiques. La petite échelle qu’ils représentent donne la possibilité à l’historien d’appréhender les aspects les plus divers de la vie de leurs habitants et de leurs ressortissants. Ce livre propose de pénétrer au plus près du quotidien des anciens Athéniens à travers l’étude d’Aixônè, l’un des dèmes les plus peuplés et les mieux documentés. Par une exploitation minutieuse des sources disponibles – inscriptions, structures archéologiques et auteurs antiques, récits de voyageurs modernes et contemporains –, un éclairage nouveau est apporté sur la topographie et le fonctionnement institutionnel d’un dème, sur les activités politiques, économiques et religieuses qui s’y déroulaient. Les résultats de cette enquête dépassent cependant largement le niveau local : divinités nouvelles ou méconnues, magistratures inédites, pratiques religieuses, économiques, juridiques et institutionnelles mal documentées ou incomprises jusqu’ici, c’est tout un pan de l’histoire grecque qui se révèle dans cette microhistoire d’Athènes."
