Learning unit contents

As in 2019-2020, but with different speakers, the seminar will be devoted in 2020-2021 to 'Manticsm (ie. divination) in the Ancient Worlds'.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

This collaborative and joint seminar between two departments of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters (Historical Sciences and Ancient Sciences) aims to raise students' awareness of the need to be trained in the different specialities and disciplines of Antiquity (history, art history and archaeology, philology, papyrology, epigraphy, numismatics) and to promote dialogue in all fields of Antiquity (Ancient Near East, Greece and Rome).

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

None -bearing in mind that History, Archaeology, Philology, Epigraphy, Numismatics, History of religions and History of art form an inseparable whole, which brings together all the specialists of the Altertumswissenschaft.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

///

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

The seminar, given only in Q2, will be organized according to an alternation between: * a week A = no class, but obligation for students to read historical studies (according to the instructions given by the person who will ensure the session of week B); * a week B = session in class, in A4 S50 (Thursday, 17h-19h) by a researcher or a teacher-researcher (in connection with the readings recommended in advance).
Inter-Departmental collegiality:

  • participation of specialists of Antiquity from the Department of Historical Sciences and the Department of Sciences of Antiquity.
  • possible conferences of foreign speakers.
The introductory session will take place on Thursday, February 4th 2021. Next face-to-face sessions : February 18th, March 4th, March 18th, April 1st and April 29th.

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

In the event of the inability to maintain the sessions in the classroom, due to the health situation, the seminar would be given remotely, by visio (Power Points projected by "screen sharing" or recorded videos). Course materials (including articles to read to prepare for the sessions) would be regularly deposited on Ecampus.
The modalities of the examination, adapted to both a face-to-face and a distance examination, do not change (see infra "Assessment methods and criteria").

Recommended or required readings

The course materials and the bibliographical advice will be given by each specialist at the seminar.
Course materials to be consulted regularly on Ecampus.

Assessment methods and criteria

Additional information:

Writing of a small research work of about ten pages (excluding bibliography and possible annexes) on a topic related to the seminar and defined in agreement with one of the teachers-researchers directly involved in the organization of the course (at exclusion of the student's supervisor). It is to this written work that the precision "written exam" (for the face-to-face scenario) and "work to be handed in" (for the remote scenario) refers above.
