Le jeudi 26 Mai 2011, à l'EHESS, 105 boulevard Raspail (Salle des Artistes), de 15h à 17 heures, aura lieu la conférence duProf. Hindy Najman, de l'Université de Toronto, portant sur :Configuring the Text. Author Formation and Text Formation in Biblical Studies Les approches courantes  concernant la formation du texte dans les études bibliques sont encore largement redevables des développements majeurs qui ont eu lieu entre 1780 et 1850. Il convient de noter que, durant cette période, la philologie a franchi les frontières entre le sacré et le profane et entre l'Antiquité et le Moyen-âge. Ce qui relie en particulier les études bibliques et les études classiques demeure l'impression que toutes les deux continuent de jouer un rôle central dans la formation de l'Occident moderne et dans la compréhension qu'il a de lui-même.  Dans cette conférence, j'analyserai les relations entre:1) La formation du texte, des corpus et des discours;2) la formation du concept de la personnalité à qui ces unités textuelles sont attribuées;3) la formation de la personnalité du lecteur de ces unités textuelles.Current approaches to textual formation in biblical studies remain deeply indebted to major developments that occurred between 1780 and 1850. It is worth noting that, in this period, philology crossed boundaries between sacred and secular, and between antiquity and the middle ages. What connected biblical and classical studies in particular was the sense that both continued to play central roles in the formation and self-understanding of the modern West. In my lecture I will investigate the connections between 1) the formation of texts, corpora and discourses; 2) the formation of the concept of the personality to whom these textual units come to be ascribed; and 3) the formation of the personality of the reader of these textual units.
