Course contents :
|
| « La mosaïque romaine. Le point du vue du spectateur ». Elément constitutif du système décoratif romain tardo-républicain et impérial, la mosaïque trouve ses origines dans le monde grec et se diffuse sur l'ensemble du pourtour méditerranéen à partir de la fin du Ier mil. av. J.-C. Selon toute évidence, proposer une synthèse de l'état des recherches - dans le cadre de ce cours - n'aurait pas grand sens. Trop nombreuses sont en effet les variations documentées sur une période aussi étendue (IIe s. av. - VIIe s. ap. J.-C.) et un territoire aussi vaste (Rome et Ostie, Gaules et Espagne, Afrique du Nord ou Asie). Après une introduction générale consacrée aux aspects techniques de mise en oeuvre de ces tapis de tesselles, les textes de Vitruve et de Pline à l'appui, un corpus limité de mosaïques sera présenté selon une série de points de vue particuliers : ceux du spectateur antique. Les motifs ornementaux (géométriques ou végétaux), ainsi que les éléments figurés (symboles et attributs, animaux, figures isolés ou scènes mythologiques) seront ainsi appréhendés dans leurs relations au sein des complexes architecturaux dont ils ornaient les pavements. Il s'agira notamment de tenir compte de la fonction des espaces décorés et de mettre en évidence les axes de composition des différents tapis observés. Le point de vue du spectateur moderne sera également envisagé quand nous traiterons du problème de la restauration des mosaïques in situ ou alors de leur exposition dans les musées archéologiques. |

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 :
- Katherine M.D. Dunbabin, Mosaics of the Greek and Roman World, Cambridge-New York 1999.
- Hélène Morlier, La mosaïque gréco-romaine, Rome-Paris 2005. (= Ecole Française de Rome 352)
- Janine Lancha, Mosaïque. Mosaïque et culture dans l'Occident romain (Ier-IVe s.), Roma 1997. |

|
Organizational remarks :
|
