La Sacralisation littéraire et picturale de la montagne au XIXe siècle : (re)naissances et épiphanies by Françoise Dupeyron-Lafay

“…We shall see the various—and sometimes complementary and converging—approaches to mountains from the late 18th century on: those emphasizing their pristine, Edenic nature; those extolling their power, sublimity and elemental violence, Turner’s paintings being emblematic in this respect : and those bringing out their divine essence, their sacred and holy quality. The corpus will mainly pertain to the latter category and through the study of Novalis, De Quincey, Ruskin, and Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings, we shall discover stories of birth and rebirth, regeneration and redemption. …”

Les Dépravés de Dieu by Romain Simenel

“…This article begins with an analysis of a celibacy-treatment ritual practiced in many regions in southwest Morocco (a ritual that allows the “youth” category to be defined from the angle of both gender relations and religious relations) and then develops a more general study of representations linked to male youth—particularly as they relate to “licit” life and divine judgement. It is then demonstrated that in southern Morocco, from the religious point of view, men are “born twice”. …”

Paradigm shifters: tricksters and cultural science by Hartley John

Usages et limites de la violence de guerre à la haute époque hellénistique by Isabelle Pimouguet-Pédarros

“…The aim is therefore not only to consider the situations in which these acts occur, but also to highlight the vocabulary associated with them, likely to reflect the crossing of a moral boundary, or even an infringement of the rules governing man’s relationship with the divine. From this point of view, Polybios’ writings are particularly interesting in that they raise the question of a possible redefinition of the uses and limits of war violence in the Hellenistic period.…”

La valeur du corps saint d’après les Vitae des mulieres religiosas des Pays-Bas méridionaux du xiiie siècle by Anne-Laure Méril-Bellini delle Stelle

“…It ensures an exchange between the Lord and the devotee, but also with a third beneficiary to whom the mystical willingly gives the divine advantages she has received. This valuation, which from a feminist perspective has long been interpreted as a denial of the spiritual qualities of women, must be examined anew, because Vitae dedicated to contemporary viri Dei sometimes introduced the same process of development of holiness by the spiritualized body. …”
