Sommario/riassunto

La genèse des premières écritures suscite toujours beaucoup d’intérêt et reste souvent mal comprise. Ce colloque a eu pour ambition de faire se rencontrer des spécialistes qui travaillent sur différents systèmes graphiques attestés au IVe millénaire en Égypte. Ils ont examinés différents supports d’image à cette période, en Égypte et avec des comparatifs en Mésopotomie, avant de s’interroger aussi sur le lien entre l’écrit et l’image, la pratique graphique impliquée et le contexte socio-culturel dans lequel cette transformation s’est produite et le statut du signe. Il semble en effet que la relation entre le signe et le support puisse être une clef de compréhension. Des pistes très prometteuses et novatrices sont ouvertes par la prise en compte des techniques de mémorisation de performances orales liées à la pratique rituelle.  The genesis of early writing has generated a geat deal of interest and is often misunderstood. The goal of this scientific meeting was to gather scholars working on different graphical systems attested during the 4th millenium BCE in Egypt. Different material supports have been taken into account for this period, in Egypt and with comparisons in Mesopotamia. The authors also investigate the link between image and writing, the social and cultural contexts within which this transformation occured and the status of the sign. Indeed, it seems that the relation between the sign and the material support might be a key of understanding. Several promising avenues have been pinpointed while taking into account of the memorization techniques of oral performance in ritual practice.

Sommario/riassunto

Our bodies contain ten times more bacteria than cells and their activity is essential for our organisms. A true symbiosis exists between humans and microbes, the complex mechanisms of which can only be decoded using molecular genetics. However these bacteria can also cause infectious and parasitic diseases which kill over 15 million people a year throughout the world. To develop effective treatments and vaccines for such diseases, scientists need to know how bacteria outmanoeuvre the body’s defence mechanisms and how to decipher the rules of war and peace between microbes and humans.
