Année académique 2019-2020 3 Remerciements Je tiens à remercier vivement la promotrice de ce mémoire, Madame Vinciane Pirenne- Delforge, ainsi que Monsieur Yann Berthelet qui en est le co-promoteur, pour leur bienveillance, leur immense patience et leur disponibilité sans faille. La découverte du polythéisme grec fut un émerveillement qui continuera de m’habiter, j’espère, encore longtemps. Je tiens à adresser encore à cet égard ma profonde reconnaissance à Madame Vinciane Pirenne, qui sait rendre si vivants les cultes anciens. Je dois également remercier chaleureusement Monsieur Yannis Stoyas, qui a très aimablement pris la peine, sur un point de ce travail, de m’apporter son éclairage. J’adresse toute ma reconnaissance et mes meilleurs sentiments à Grégory, qui m’a tant soutenue. Enfin, je voudrais adresser une pensée également à mes anciens collègues et confrères du Comité International des Amis du Trou d’Ô, ainsi que le Collège des Experts Chénéeticiens, qui savent bien qu’au chêne comme aux eaux souterraines, l’important c’est avant tout de poser la bonne question. 4 Sommaire L’Épire : définition et présentation

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Sur la romanisation La romanisation représente pour les archéologues un problème complexe qui rassemble à la fois des questions d’identité et d’in- terprétation de la culture matérielle. Le concept de romanisation a évolué avec le temps ; il est aujourd’hui perçu par l’archéologie européenne comme un processus double, composé à la fois d’in- teractions et de l’intégration des peuples indigènes dans l’Empire. La notion de romanisation demeure en revanche encore étrangère à l’archéologie albanaise. Cette absence fut le premier motif de ce travail, centré sur la mise en évidence des éléments fondamentaux à travers lesquels le processus de la romanisation peut être appré- hendé. Le terme de romanisation n’est pas utilisé par les auteurs anciens pour désigner le contrôle et les conséquences de la politique romaine sur les territoires et les peuples conquis. Au contraire, ce terme a été utilisé pour la première fois au XIXe siècle pour décrire l’appropriation de la civilisation classique par les peuples indigènes dans l’Empire romain. Dès lors, la romanisation demeura le terme privilégié pour décrire les échanges culturels entre les provinces de l’Empire. L’expression elle-même débouche sur plusieurs problèmes historiographiques1. De nos jours, les spécialistes 1 Le terme, forgé dans les contextes impérialistes et colonialistes de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle, renvoie au climat intellectuel de cette période. L’intérêt pour le sujet s’accrut vers le milieu du XXe siècle quand l’Empire britannique entra en décadence et que les milieux intellectuels firent usage de la méthode comparatiste pour s’intéresser aux anciennes structures étatiques.

It is the challenge of constructing a square with the same area as a given circle by using only a finite number of steps with compass and straightedge. In 1882, the task was proven to be impossible, as a consequence of the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem which proves that pi (π) is a transcendental, rather than an algebraic irrational number; that is, it is not the root of any polynomial with rational coefficients. Approximate squaring to any given non-perfect accuracy, in contrast, is possible in a finite number of steps, since there are rational numbers arbitrarily close to π. The expression "squaring the circle" is sometimes used as a metaphor for trying to do the impossible.” (Wikipedia) 178 years ago, the invention of photography opened the way to create images and also to reproduce art, giving access to the multitude, promoting the frame of a market.

  • The Image of a Queen: the Representation of Catherine De’ Medici As
    THE IMAGE OF A QUEEN: THE REPRESENTATION OF CATHERINE DE’ MEDICI AS PENELOPE IN THE GALERIE D’ULYSSE by ELIZABETH LEHMAN MILLER (Under the Direction of Shelley Zuraw) ABSTRACT This study explores the patronage and significance of the five sixteenth-century fresco scenes illustrating the reunion of Ulysses and Penelope designed by Francesco Primaticcio in the no longer extant Galerie d’Ulysse at Fontainebleau. Correlations are drawn between the imagery represented in the frescoes and two other works of art from Primaticcio’s oeuvre: the tomb of King Henri II and Queen Catherine de’ Medici of France and a painting titled Ulysses and Penelope in the Toledo Museum of Art. Also examined in relation to the frescoes are Catherine de’ Medici’s efforts to create a positive public image of herself as Regent of France following the death of Henri II. It is argued that Homer’s Penelope was a suitable mythological character with whom Catherine de’ Medici could identify; and that the Galerie d’Ulysse frescoes of Ulysses and Penelope were a means of public propaganda for the recently widowed queen- regent.
