First Online Seminar Series
Organised by the German Historical Institutes of Paris and Rome
The German Historical Institutes of Paris and Rome are launching a new online seminar series on « Euro-Mediterranean Entanglements in Medieval History » in the academic year 2021/2022. The events take place every two months. They are aimed at both young and established scholars from all medieval disciplines. The intention is to create an international and interdisciplinary forum where diverse topics and methodological approaches can be presented and discussed.
Topics
The geographical area is deliberately not clearly defined and includes Europe, as well as the Mediterranean region in its broadest sense. Also comprised are interconnections between the Euro-Mediterranean area and other world regions. The following topics are in focus:
- cross-regional, transcultural, and interreligious entanglements (processes/results).
- overlapping spaces: between geographic borders and cultural contacts
- social networks and interpersonal relations
- mobility and migration
- transfer, diffusion and adaptation of ideas, knowledge and material objects
Seminar schedule Each seminar focuses on discussion and is held in English. The presenter submits her/his paper (max. 5000 words ) about 10 days before the event so that all participants can read it in advance. In the online seminar itself, only a 10-minute keynote presentation will be given. A subsequent 10-minute commentary by a specialist will stimulate the following discussion.
