Psychologie de la couleur dans le monde greco-romain – Colour Psychology in the Graeco-Roman World
edited by Katerina Ierodiakonou
La psychologie des couleurs se trouve au coeur de ce volume. Les communications embrassent un vaste champ chronologique, allant des presocratiques a Philostrate, Pausanias et Theophraste, en passant par Platon et Aristote. A ces chapitres s’ajoutent des etudes thematiques sur certaines valeurs suggerees par les couleurs, comme le mal (color malus), le prestige (la pourpre imperiale) ou la piete. Eight papers by Maria Michela Sassi, Elena Cagnoli Fiecconi, Katerina Ierodiakonou, Philippe Jockey, Agnes Rouveret, Adeline Grand-Clement, David B. Wharton, Denise Reitzenstein each one followed by a discussion.

"All in all, the volume succeeds in venturing into a relatively new field of study with a rich sample of methods, approaches and insights. In their diversity, all the contributions bring attention to the complex nature of colours: their properties of saturation, brightness, and hue have a decisive impact on multiple levels of human cognition." --Bersani, Beatrice, Bry Mawr Classical Review, 5.16.2021
