Le Roi et le Fleuve
Exemples d'usages pluriels de l'espace
By (author) Aline Tenu
This book explores the singular and plural links between the royal person and the river(s) in the ancient world. More than just a physical territorial boundary, the river could mark a political, military, religious or symbolic frontier that kings frequently sought to control or cross.

Cet ouvrage explore les liens singuliers et pluriels qui ont uni, dans le monde antique, la personne royale et le(s) fleuve(s). Plus qu’une simple delimitation territoriale physique, le fleuve pouvait marquer une frontiere politique, militaire, religieuse ou encore symbolique que les rois chercherent frequemment a controler ou a franchir. Le cours des fleuves offrait par ailleurs une scene d’exception pour la mise en scene ostentatoire du pouvoir et de nombreux souverains utiliserent ce theatre naturel dans la construction de leur image. Axes de communication majeurs, les fleuves jouaient un role structurant dans l’organisation des territoires et, a ce titre, occuperent egalement une place preponderante dans les politiques royales. Indispensables pour l’approvisionnement des chantiers royaux et des capitales, les souverains intervinrent souvent personnellement dans l’amenagement, la mise en valeur et la gestion de ces espaces, ainsi que dans les operations commerciales et economiques qui leur etaient etroitement associees. Par le biais des regards croises de dix-sept specialistes appartenant a divers horizons (domaine syro-mesopotamien, Egypte, monde romain, Asie centrale, Inde, Chine), ces differentes thematiques sont abordees dans le present volume a partir de sources textuelles, iconographiques et archeologiques datees entre le IIIe millenaire av. J.-C. et le VIIe siecle apr. J.-C.
