The German Historical Institutes of Paris and Rome are continuing the online seminar series on "Euro-Mediterranean Entanglements in Medieval History". It focuses on sharing new ideas and perspectives. The sessions take place every two months and are addressed to both young and established scholars from all medieval disciplines. The aim is to create an international and interdisciplinary forum where diverse topics and methodological approaches can be presented and discussed. We cordially invite interested researchers to send an abstract (1–2 pages) and short curriculum vitae (with list of publications, if possible) by June 1, 2023 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. 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: The seminar focuses on exchange of ideas. Our speakers begin with a 10-minute keynote to present their ongoing or recently completed research, followed by a 10-minute commentary from a specialist. This will be the basis for the subsequent 40 minute discussion with the onlineaudience.
Dates: Tuesdays 5.00-6.00 PM CET
