L'argent dans les Métamorphoses d'Apulée. Un fluide révélateur du monde ?
The thesis "Money in Apuleiusâ Metamorphoses" is the result of an accumulation of research. Apuleius appeared to us immediately as an author representing more than one enigma between his life and his works. Instead of taking stock of the only subjects present in the work, we chose to focus on objects. Money has appeared to us as a recurring object in many forms. We have made a record as complete as possible. It seemed essential to us to seek the etymological origin of each one. The idea was to bring out the meaning of the word itself and its use in context. What vision of money and society could we draw from it? To use a term is to make a choice that a Roman of the time of Apuleius could understand. It was referring to concepts, positions, reflections that made sense at the time of the work. Then arose the question of the time and society of Apuleius. To what extent the economic and social world of the 2nd century AD J. - C. depicts fictitiously in the Metamorphoses it joined the reality of this time? However, there was one area that was difficult to manipulate: that of religion. The religious domain does not appear only in the book XI. Between the references to the magic, the local cults, the recourse to magic practices, the religions of Rome and Greece, the Eastern religions ... To what extent does this theme have any relationship with money? Finally, money seems to participate in the construction of different interpretations. It is one of the symbols that allow renewed readings of the Metamorphoses.La thĂšse « lâargent dans les MĂ©tamorphoses dâApulĂ©e » est le fruit dâune accumulation de recherches.
