| Publisher Description: In Figures de l' pouvante grecques de l'antiquit au pr sent, Maria Patera examines an unfamiliar aspect of the Greek pedagogy of fear, illustrated by narratives about four Greek terrifying figures: Lamia, Morm , Gell and Empousa. These female bogeys belong to the children's world. Each of those figures provokes fear in a particular way, according to its own characteristics (metamorphosis, hybridity, cannibalism, etc.). By means of a diachronic comparison of the ancient figures with their Byzantine and modern Greek namesakes, each of them is assigned a proper position within its specific historical, cultural, and religious context. Dans Figures de l' pouvante grecques de l'antiquit au pr sent, Maria Patera examine un aspect mal connu de la p dagogie grecque, celui de la peur, illustr travers des r cits principalement destin s aux enfants propos des pouvantails Lamia, Morm , Gell et Empousa. Ces quatre figures f minines appartiennent aux chambres enfantines et aux contes de bonnes femmes. Chacune d'entre elles mat rialise un aspect de l' pouvante travers ses fa ons d'agir et ses traits caract ristiques (m tamorphose, hybridit , anthropophagie, etc.). Un examen diachronique permet de comparer les personnages anciens leurs homonymes byzantins et n o-grecs et de d terminer leurs fonctions respectives dans chaque contexte historique, religieux et culturel donn . |
