My research deals with the theological and ritual dynamics of ancient polytheism through the investigation of 1) the joint enshrinement and veneration of gods in cult places, 2) Greek and Latin divine onomastics and 3) the sociology and ritual practice of the so-called “mystery” cults of Isis and Mater Magna. My doctoral thesis Divine Cohabitations in Sanctuaries of the Graeco-Roman World, defended on 31 May 2021 and currently in preparation for publication, has aimed at enhancing our knowledge of the workings of polytheism by exploring one of its fundamental modus operandi: divine cohabitations, i.e. the permanent or temporary sharing of sacred enclosures, temples and altars by several gods.
My work as a guest researcher for the MAP project focuses on the divine landscape of Hellenistic and Roman Lydia. Having collected and analysed the Anatolian testimonies to divine epithets derived from anthroponyms for the workshop My name is your name. Anthroponyms as divine attributes (2-3 June 2021), I now aim to study these attributes in context, within the onomastic landscape to which they belong in the region that has yielded the bulk of their evidence: Lydia. To do so, I will introduced the Lydian onomastic sequences in the BBD MAP and establish the divine cartography of this territory in order to determine, then, how the deities with anthroponymic attributes are integrated within local pantheonic configurations and what are the specificities of their cults.
My research focuses on religious epigraphy from the Latin west of the Roman Empire. I am particularly interested in the religious interaction of groups of population with particular cults as a way to study cultural interaction in religion. My initial doctoral research dealt with the different types of solar worship in the Roman Empire and currently, I am looking to expand my line of research on trends of divine invocation during the Roman Empire. In particular, I have a deep interest in the dynamics of onomastic sequences put in context. The variety in naming the divine from repeated formulae to individual choices can help us to understand patterns of verbalising religious experience. I focus my research on cross-cultural backgrounds and how dedicatees tended to conceptualise the divine as a way to study the religious expression in epigraphy.
I also collaborate with the research team of UC3M (Madrid) to analyse religious epigraphy in Hispania and the project RICO (Religion: the Individual & the Communitas), where we analyse the modern methodological and conceptual tools to investigate religious experience. My work as an academic visitor with the MAP project will be the study of bilingual religious inscriptions from the city of Rome written in Latin and Greek.
Sébastien Plutniak is a sociologist and historian of science. His work addresses the use of formalisation, mathematisation, and automation in the humanities and social sciences. His PhD. in sociology (EHESS, 2017) was therefore about the introduction of mathematics and computing in archaeology during the second half of the 20th century. He also specialised in the use of digital methods in the humanities and social sciences (programming, network analysis, sequence analysis, publication formats, etc.). His contribution to the MAP project therefore concerns the methods for the analysis of divine onomastic sequences.
