The German Historical Institutes of Paris and Rome are hosting the online seminar series on "Euro-Mediterranean Entanglements in Medieval History". Its aim is to exchange new ideas and perspectives with young and established scholars from all medieval disciplines. Sessions will take place every two months and are intended to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum where different topics and methodological approaches can be presented and discussed.
Our speakers begin with a 10-minute keynote to present their current or recently completed research, followed by a 10-minute commentary from an invited expert. This will be the basis for the subsequent 40-minute discussion with the online audience.
We cordially invite interested researchers to send an abstract (1–2 pages) and short curriculum vitae (with list of publications, if possible) by June 3, 2024 to asagasser@dhi-paris.fr and wolf@dhi-roma.it.
Topics
The geographical area is deliberately not clearly defined and includes Europe, as well as the Mediterranean region in its broadest sense. Interconnections between the Euro-Mediterranean area and other world regions are also included. 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)
