Identités sonores réelles et fantasmées dans l’Antiquité : à chacun sa percussion ?

| description | Musical instruments, in particular percussion instruments, participate in the construction of the identities of communities. Rattlesnakes, roptres, bells, drums and many others are thus associated with different worship practices, even specifically with certain deities. The reception of these objects in later eras reinforced this idea of exclusivity: the sistrum of Isis, the cymbals of Cybele, the rattlesnakes and the tambourines of Dionysus, etc. However, these topoi make a selection among the possible uses of these instruments and very often reduce each of them to a particular soundmark identity. Through an exhaustive lexicographical study, we will show, on a case-by-case basis, that these artefacts can, on the contrary, obey a variety of functions which go beyond the sole ritual and religious use. Confirmation of this versatility can be found in the archaeological data which will also be requested. |
