Canonisation is fundamental to the sustainability of cultures. This volume is meant as a (theoretical) exploration of the process, taking Eurasian societies from roughly the first millennium BCE (Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, Greek, Egyptian, Jewish and Roman) as case studies. It focuses on canonisation as a form of cultural formation, asking why and how canonisation works in this particular way and explaining the importance of the first millennium BCE for these question and vice versa. As a result of this focus, notions like anchoring, cultural memory, embedding and innovation play an important role throughout the book.
In Individuals and Materials in the Greco-Roman Cults of Isis Valentino Gasparini and Richard Veymiers present a collection of reflections on the individuals and groups which animated one of Antiquity’s most dynamic, significant and popular religious phenomena: the reception of the cults of Isis and other Egyptian gods throughout the Hellenistic and Roman worlds. These communities, whose members seem to share the same religious identity, for a long time have been studied in a monolithic way through the prism of the Cumontian category of the “Oriental religions”. The 26 contributions of this book, divided into three sections devoted to the “agents”, their “images” and their “practices”, shed new light on this religious movement that appears much more heterogeneous and colorful than previously recognized.

The dynamic processes of knowledge production in archaeology and elsewhere in the humanities and social sciences are increasingly viewed as the collaborative effort of groups, clusters and communities of researchers rather than the isolated work of so-called ‘instrumental’ actors. Shifting focus from the individual scholar to the wider social contexts of her work and the dynamic creative processes she participates in, this volume critically examines the importance of informal networks and conversation in the creation of knowledge about the past. Engaging with theoretical approaches such as the sociology and geographies of knowledge and Actor-Network Theory (ANT), and using examples taken from different archaeologies in Europe and North America from the seventeenth to the mid-twentieth century, the book caters to a wide readership, ranging from students of archaeology, anthropology, classics and science studies to the general reader.
L’idea di questo Convegno viene da lontano: ognuna delle istituzioni che lo hanno organizzato ha accumulato infatti un patrimonio di riflessioni su questo tema: per il Centre Jean Bérard questo precede la sua stessa nascita, trovando la sua origine in Rhégion et Zankle, il libro di un maestro di cui in quest’occasione più che mai abbiamo sentito la mancanza; seguirono poi le due Contributions à l’étude de la société et de la colonisation eubéennes, del 1975 e del 1981; per l’Università di Edinburgo basti pensare alla lungae fruttuosa consuetudine di D. Ridgway con Pithekoussaie con il suo scopritore, G. Buchner. Grazie alla generosità degli amici Greci attivi nelle Soprintendenzee nelle Università, il volume presenta scavi inediti, ο noti ancora soltanto attraverso relazioni preliminari. Lo stesso vale per lo scavo della nuova “capanna ovale” di Punta Chiarito a Pithekoussai. Ci si perdoni l’immodestia se diciamo che questi dati, da soli, giustificherebbero la soddisfazione degli organizzatori. Ma un altro aspetto ci premeva,e fu rammentato nel momento in cui ebbero inizio i lavori del Convegno,e riguardava in particolare i nuovi rinvenimenti della Calcidica.
