Appel à contribution – The “Bright Frontier” summer course

Luminosus Limes: Geographical, Ethnic, Social and Cultural Frontiers
in Late Antiquity

 (June 29 – July 4, 2015, Budapest, Hungary)

http://summer.ceu.hu/limes-2015

The “Bright Frontier” summer course explores the dynamic transformation of classical frontiers between the second and the sixth century from a multidisciplinary perspective: archaeology, medieval studies, social and cultural history, art, theology, and literature. Offering a groundbreaking approach to the field of border studies including social, gender, ethnic and religious categories with the participation of outstanding scholars in the field, this course will provide students with a solid knowledge of up-to-date international scholarship on frontiers: a strong theoretical background as well as hands-on acquaintance with physical borders and material artifacts excavated along the Danube River (the ripa Pannonica), around Lake Balaton, as well as in the late antique cemetery of Pécs in Hungary.

Target group: Applications are invited from MA, PhD students, postdocs or researchers. Participants are assumed to hold an MA or a PhD, or to be enrolled in a master or doctoral program in one of the following fields: Late Antique history, medieval studies, cultural and intellectual history, archaeology, art history, classical philology, religious studies, theology, and literary criticism.

Application deadline: February 14, 2015. Financial aid is available.

Atelier des doctorants du CEBNHSEE

Atelier des doctorants du CEBNHSEE (ex-Séminaire des doctorants du CEBNHSEE)

  • Bexen Campos Rubilar
  • Paolo Odorico, directeur d’études à l’EHESS
  • Mathieu Panoryia
  • Filippo Ronconi, maître de conférences à l’EHESSCet enseignant est référent pour cette UE

S’il s’agit de l’enseignement principal d’un enseignant, le nom de celui-ci est indiqué en gras.

2e et 4e jeudis du mois de 11 h à 13 h (bât. Le France, 190-198 av de France 75013 Paris), du 13 novembre 2014 au 28 mai 2015. Les 2e jeudis du mois, les séances se dérouleront en salle 527 (5e étage) et les 4e jeudis du mois, en salle 3 (RdC)

L’atelier est conçu comme un espace informel de rencontre et de confrontation pour les doctorants du CEBNHSEE, mais il constitue en même temps un lieu de rencontre ouvert pour tous les doctorants dont les recherches portent sur Byzance. Dans ce cadre, la participation de jeunes chercheurs provenant d’autres laboratoires du CRH et d’autres centres de l’EHESS, mais aussi d’autres institutions (notamment les partenaires du PRES HéSam) est prévue. Chaque séance est centrée sur un sujet de recherche spécifique et se veut un lieu de discussion et d’échange intellectuel entre jeunes chercheurs, à la présence d’un ou plusieurs chercheurs confirmés du CEBNHSEE, qui aura la fonction de stimuler la confrontation et de poser des problèmes d’ordre méthodologique, dans un contexte décontracté.

La structuration de chaque séance est totalement libre, si bien que chaque doctorant pourra donner la forme qu’il préfère à la rencontre dont il est le responsable. Des séances « collectives » pourront aussi bien avoir lieu, où plusieurs doctorants puissent présenter conjointement leurs réflexions sur un sujet commun.

22 janvier 2015 : Filippo Ronconi, « L’utilité de la paléographie et de la philologie dans la compréhension historique de la Renaissance paléologue : questions de méthode »

Appel à contribution – The Art of the Crusades: A Re-Evaluation research programme

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Early Career Collaborative Research Project in Eastern Mediterranean and Levant

for Mediaevalists, Byzantinists and researchers into the art and archaeology of the diverse Christian, Muslim, Jewish and other religious and ethnic groups in this region.

SOAS University of London with funding from the Getty Foundation is launching a new research programme lasting two years that might be of interest to you entitled The Art of the Crusades: A Re-Evaluation.

Led by Professor Scott Redford of SOAS University of London, The Art of the Crusades: A Re-Evaluation is aimed at early career academics and higher level research students interested in exploring the possibilities of a new kind of integrationist approach to the art and archaeology of the mediaeval period in the eastern Mediterranean and Levant.

This approach will involve interrogating the material culture of the mediaeval period using diverse academic approaches, and seek to show the connections between the art and other material culture of the different peoples and religious groups of this region at the time.

We are looking for candidates from a wide variety of academic fields. This includes researchers into Crusader art, architecture and archaeology, but also Byzantinists, and researchers into the art and architecture of Islamic, Jewish and other religious and ethnic groups in the Eastern Mediterranean and Levant region during the Middle Ages.

Those taking part will be asked to attend four fully-funded research field trips, two in 2015 and two in 2016, each lasting nine days. These research trips will be to Greece, Israel, Jordan and Turkey and on them participants will attend lectures by international and local experts, visit historical sites of interest and engage in seminars aimed at formulating a new way of looking at this kind of material from an integrationist perspective.

We are particularly keen to encourage researchers based in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East, or with strong connections to it, to apply.

All air fares, accommodation and meals on the research trips will be paid for, and we welcome applications now for the first of these trips, to Turkey, in November 2015.

Further information and an application form can be found on the SOAS website at:

Further Information: www.soas.ac.uk/artofthecrusades
Application Form: http://www.jotformeu.com/form/50121286584352

Deadline for Applications: 15 March 2015. Spaces are limited and so early application is strongly advised.
