No full textAbstract Between music and philosophy: passions, soul and logos
The paper presents a comment, in a musical key, of Encomium of Elena. Gorgias famous play, produced in the fifth century BC, is about passions, soul and speeches. The author then considers the influence of this text of Gorgias on the dialogues of Plato, in relation to the great themes of soul and body, human passions, the power of words. The musical register sustains the whole paper to show how philosophy is the megiste musiké of which Socrates speaks in Phd. 61a
Objets rituels, maladie et transmission, l'emploi de la buse du soufflet par les forgerons moose (Burkina Faso)
No full textThe Moose smiths use the « nose of the bellows » pẽbga, to heal a disease located at the end of the intestin (anus and rectum). This disease is said to be caused by damage done to forge by some sort of theft. After an account of the local description of the causes, of the symtoms and of the treatment, the author sets off the analogies that link the human body to the « nose of the bellows » on one hand, and to the iron work on the other hand. She shows that theses analogies are integrated in a coherent way in an ideology clearly defined by the smiths. It deals with theis role as tool producers and as warrants of the agricole activity. The « nose of the bellows » and the disease related to it then become material tools that bring out the forgotten links between powers related to the forge and human beings and, at the same time, the relation between the smiths and the others.Les forgerons moose utilisent « la buse du soufflet » pẽbga, pour soigner une maladie de la partie finale de l'intestin (anus et rectum). Cette maladie est attribuée au fait d'avoir porté atteinte, par un certain type de vol, au domaine de la forge. Après avoir rapporté la description locale des causes, des symptômes et du traitement, l'auteur met en relief le réseau d'analogies qui lie le corps humain à la « buse du soufflet » d'une part et au travail du fer d'autre part. Elle montre que ces analogies s'insèrent de façon cohérente dans une idéologie explicitée par les forgerons, qui concerne leur rôle de producteurs d'outils et de garants de l'activité agricole. La «buse du soufflet» et la maladie qui y est associée deviennent alors des dispositifs matériels qui rappellent par des signes non arbitraires et des effets physiques les liens oubliés entre les puissances rattachées à la forge et les hommes et, par là même, les liens entre les forgerons et les non forgerons.Calderoni Lidia.

Socrate o dello specchio. Strategie di scritture nell'Apologia e nell'Alcibiade
No full textThrough a mention to the Middle Platonists and a reference to a late antique text that presents a comparison between Plato and the Demiurge, I set out to show just one of those rhetorical strategies that have been used by the author Plato to give his writings the unity and consistency that make the corpus a kosmos, a living animal, like the universe. After having identified among the rhetorical strategies the one that uses examples and explained what such a strategy means, I analyse the Platonic use of the example of the mirror identified with Socrates in two writings, the Apology of Socrates and the Alcibiade
