Vase media/mass media : les fonctions communicationnelles des vases grecs hier et aujourd’hui

Abstract

The Greek vase takes today the benefit of a renewed interest. How were the pictures on the Greek vases a communication medium yesterday and today? What was their function in the Antiquity? Are the pictures listed on the bulge of the vases identified (and even identifiable) by people of the XXIrstcentury? It is not forbidden to wonder about the motivations of these artless or experienced visitors. And more precisely, to question this surprising modernity with the instruments of analysis offered by the sciences of information and communication.
