Dans le cadre du séminaire “Jean Chrysostome : édition et histoire des textes”, le mercredi 15 janvier 2025 de 14h à 16h, Jonathan Stutz (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin) donnera une communication intitulée:
Preaching in a city in lockdown. John Chrysostom’s homily series On the statues
The presentation will examine the series of homilies delivered by John Chrysostom in 387 CE during Lent, in the aftermath of the Riot of the Statues in Antioch. Addressing the harrowing events witnessed by the Antiochenes and calling for repentance and moral reform, these homilies offer valuable insights into late antique homiletic practices. Building on the premise that emotions were a central element of late antique rhetorical tradition, the presentation will explore the interplay between John’s interpretation of the events and the emotions he aimed to evoke among his listeners, with fear occupying a particularly prominent role. In doing so, Chrysostom not only directed his audience’s attention to divine judgment but also outlined new models of virtue for them to emulate.
