Course contents :
|
| "Idéologies et propagandes de l'Empire romain. Le témoignage de la sculpture". L'avènement d'Octave correspond à la fin des guerres intestines qui ont ébranlé le dernier siècle de la République romaine. Si la paix est enfin instaurée à Rome et dans le coeur des territoires conquis, la guerre est dorénavant portée sur les frontières de l'Empire. Le Sénat cède progressivement le pouvoir à ceux qui contrôlent les légions. Et les triomphes ne cessent de célébrer les nouvelles conquêtes qui permettent d'accroître l'ager romanus. Ce cours permettra d'appréhender le double langage qui se met alors en place : celui qui accompagne les armées victorieuses des nouvelles Provinces vers Rome et celui qui s'imposent de l'Urbs vers les terres conquises. Un art particulier se développe alors pour accompagner ces élans, un art d'idéologies et de propagandes dont les témoignages les plus saisissants appartiennent aux monuments de sculpture (reliefs et rondes-bosses). Aux scènes de combats ou de triomphes viennent ainsi se mêler des représentations du mythe et des symboles, dont l'objectif reste toujours le même : diffuser le modèle idéal de l'Empire romain. Et il en sera ainsi jusqu'au temps où l'iconographie impériale sera adaptée au triomphe du christianisme. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The MASTERS courses (HAAR0060-1, HAAR0121-2, HAAR0122-2 et HAAR0123-2) are presented as occasional studies on a particular theme for which students' active participation is required. This consists of developing the fundamental knowledge and methodologies acquired during the three years of the Baccalaureat. Each session will be divided into two parts: a presentation of the subject followed by a critical discussion. This discussion should be prepared and led by the students. In line with the schedule set out at the start of the term, the last presentations on the subject could also be led by the most enthusiastic students. The aims of learning are research: thorough presentation and critical discussion of an object or argument. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| None - bearing in mind that the History of Art and Archaeology of Greek-Roman Antiquity is only one element of the indissociable whole of the Sciences of Antiquity (history, philology and the history of religion). |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| For MASTERS students, other than the good habits developed during the years of the Baccalaureat (regular presence in class, analytical work and verification in the library), it is necessary to take a critical approach to the material presented in class. This involves prior preparation of the issues being studied in order to be able to contribute to the discussion and exchange information which has been collated. In some cases, students should also produce regular research and present it to the class. At this level of study, it is indispensable to produce, either individually or in groups, a blibliographical and iconographical database. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Lectures (illustrated by slides) for which students' active participation will be increasingly required (critical discussion and presentations) |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Given in the reading list provided at the start of the course, in particular :
- Pierre Gros, L'architecture romaine - du début du IIIe siècle av. J.-C. à la fin du Haut-Empire, vol. 1 : Les monuments publics, Paris 1996.
- Diana E.E Kleiner, Roman Sculpture, New Haven-London 1992.
