Lecture by Fabien Bièvre-Perrin, Lecturer at the HIScant-MA laboratory of the University of Lorraine. Whether in the media, on social networks or in our environment, we come across Antiquity daily. They are Greek symbols on our coins, triumphal arches in our streets or far-right Spartans. This is Cardi B as a Greek goddess, Cleopatra promoting a dating site, Medusa in the #MeToo era. Protean, changeable and polysemic, Antiquity has never ceased to inspire Western creators. At a time when the so-called classical culture seems to disappear from school curricula and questioned by its own specialists, why are we now referring to Greek, Roman or Egyptian antiquity? During the conference in collaboration with Antiquipop (antiquipop.hypotheses.org), the BU Letters & SHS of Nancy invites you to deepen recent pop culture and decipher it through the prism of reference to Antiquity.
