Les relations entre les étrangers et les autochtones à l'époque hellénistique : les modèles d'intégration des étrangers dans l'Empire lagide

摘要

My thesis for obtaining a French doctorate address the foreign communities in the Ptolemaic Empire. This research concerns the ethnic identity of Jews, Greeks, Syrians, Egyptians in the Ptolemaic society in the Hellenistic period and their problems of th eacculturation, more precisely, of cultural transfer between immigrant groups and the local population, between dominant and dominated. The relationship between Jews and Gentiles, that, on one hand, is between Jews and Jews of Palestine of different Mediterranean diaspora, on the other hand, is an important part of my reflection, especially due to the Hellenization that marked ethnogenesis Jews.The issue of migration and cultural transfers is a crucial theme that runs through several millennia, and remains today, more than ever relevant. In the Hellenistic period, many ethnic groups live in diasporas in eastern edge of the Mediterranean. The most numerous are, in descending order, Greeks, Jews, Phoenicians, Egyptians,Ethiopians, Libyans, Syrians, etc. Taking the Ptolemaic Empire as an example, I propose to analyze the ethnic relationship of these groups and their different modes of integration and acculturation in the process of Hellenization. The Ptolemaic Empire at its peak in the third century BC, including Egypt, Palestine, Cyrenaica and the Aegean islands. It therefore offers a privileged object of study because of its location, which is at the crossroads of trade routes that guide individual and collective migration, but also due to a particularly rich and varied historical documentation.
