La symbolique égyptienne de la rencontre ludique entre Rhampsinite et Déméter-Isis (Hérodote, II, 122) by Typhaine Haziza

“…This article continues the discussion begun at the CIERGA Colloquium, held in Fribourg on 6 and 7 September 2021, on the Herodotean anecdote of Rhampsinite in the Underworld (II, 122), by examining the purpose of the game played between the Pharaoh and Demeter and, more broadly, its Egyptian symbolism, as well as that of the goddess’s gift of a “gold lamé napkin”. Various avenues are explored, showing that despite a probable interpretatio Graeca of the initial story, and an interpretation that may differ according to the circles in which the anecdote was received, it is still very much marked by its Egyptian origins.…”

La station de Bergusium et le site des Buissières à Panossas (Isère) : de la toponymie à l’archéologie by Matthieu Poux, Aldo Borlenghi

Iterativity, agency, and feminism in the Hindu Tij songs of Nepal by Basanti Timalsina, Victoria L. Bergvall

“…We study the iterative discursive forms of language (word choice, syntax, and semantics) and multimodal displays (as modern media spread audiovisuals in songs and dances) arising around the Nepali Hindu festival of Tij, where women gather, feast, then fast, sing, and dance to honor the union of goddess Parvati and god Shiva. Traditional Tij songs often lament women as suffering under parents, brothers, husbands, or in-laws – yet taking joy and solace in celebrating with other women, whereas newer genres of songs may focus on one’s beauty and adornment in new Tij attire available through consumer commodification. …”
