Conference Announcement
18th Trends in Classics International Conference on
“Cognitive Theory and Later Latin: Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period”
The Department of Classics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies of Innsbruck are organizing the 18th Trends in Classics International Conference to be held in Thessaloniki on 30-31 May 2024 at KEDEA, Aristotle University Campus (http://kedea.rc.auth.gr). The topic of the conference is:
“Cognitive Theory and Later Latin: Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period”
https://www.lit.auth.gr/18th_trends
(The growing scholarly dialogue between cognitive theories and the humanities has recently conquered the scholarly discourse of Classical Studies. The relevant critical discourse has focused on the ways in which the cognitive process explicitly or implicitly runs through mental and bodily processes, as well as through the world of Greek and Roman society, and in particular through culture, technology, science, medicine, philosophy, art, literature and theatre. The conference will raise these questions in the context of Latin texts from Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Neo-Latin literature. The discussion will cover a wide range of texts and topics, such as philosophical theories on the nature of the soul, but also issues such as the literary analysis of metaphors or sociological approaches to the production and dissemination of knowledge. The conference aims to make a substantial contribution to the interdisciplinary dialogue between late Latin literature and cognitive approaches).

Dear Colleagues,
As previously announced, the second series of online lectures organized by the Fédération Internationale des Associations d’Études Classiques (FIEC) to celebrate its 75th anniversary will start this coming Thursday (11th April). The full program (with abstracts and links) is available on the FIEC website (www.fiecnet.org).
We are pleased to invite you to the first lecture:
Professor Filippomaria Pontani (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice).
“Vingt-quatre pattes de mouche : Greek manuscripts and beyond”
April 11th, 2024, at 7 pm CEST (Central European Summer Time)
https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84560724537?pwd=HAyDYNqm9fDexquId4zh6QxSSbU7Yc.1
Abstract:
Studies of Greek manuscripts and Greek manuscript culture have made enormous leaps forward in recent decades. While academic practice tends to parcel off Altertumswissenschaft by allotting special inquiries to palaeographers, papyrologists, philologists, historians of culture, Byzantinists etc., only the fruitful interaction between these disciplines can enable significant progress in the recovery, the edition and the interpretation of ancient and medieval Greek literature and wisdom. Incidentally, this approach is not only paramount for textual criticism, but it also has much to tell about phenomena of reception and appropriation that have shaped the Classical heritage throughout the centuries.
Filippomaria Pontani is Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Venice Ca’ Foscari, and a member of the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome. While primarily concerned with scholarship and manuscript transmission in the Byzantine and humanistic period (from Plutarch’s Natural Questions to Planudes’ edition of Ptolemy, down to Pletho’s De Homero), he is currently editing the scholia to Homer’s Odyssey (five volumes so far, 2007–2022; prolegomena: Sguardi su Ulisse, 2005). He has published extensively on Greek and Latin texts (from Sappho’s Nachleben to Callimachus’ Aitia, from Aeschylus’ Choephori to Euripides’ Medea, from the rise of ancient grammar to allegory and the literary facies of some ancient myths) as well as on Byzantine, Humanist (Poliziano’s Liber Epigrammatum Graecorum, 2002; Kondoleon’s Scritti omerici, 2018; the anthology of "neualtgriechische Gedichte" The Hellenizing Muse, 2022, ed. with Stefan Weise) and Modern Greek literature (Poeti greci del Novecento, 2010). He co-directs (with S. Valente) the Sammlung der gr. und lat. Grammatiker, (with Alberto Camerotto) the project Classici Contro, and (with Anna Santoni) a series of modern receptions of Classical myth (last issue: a piece by W. Mouawad, Pisa 2023).
Yours sincerely,
Thomas Schmidt
FIEC Secretary General

Professeur invité : Robert Rollinger, University of Innsbruck
With the establishment of empire at the beginning of the first millennium BCE a new form of political system was introduced in Western Eurasia that changed the course of history considerably. The effect of change became visible on many levels, political, ideological, and economical. It concerned worldview, as well as the perception of space and time. Completely new forms of exchange and entanglement emerged that have rightfully been labelled as “protoglobalization”. These new developments affected the entire world between the western Mediterranean and China. The four conferences of Ribert Rollinger will deal with these changes on a long-term perspective. They will have a special focus on the Greek world and the west on the one hand, but will also deal with the phenomenon of entanglement from a larger perspective taking into account changes and developments all over Afro-Eurasia.
10h30-12h30 | Salle de séminaire (Département des Sciences de l’Antiquité)
Since the Iron Age the Mediterranean and the ancient Near East have been entangled in various ways and in various contexts. This long period of a braided history is documented by an enormous mass of different sources originating from different areas and focussing on contact and encounter from different angles. The second conference will deal with various aspects of this fascinating histoire croisée along about half a millennium starting with the earliest documentation of Greeks in Neo-Assyrian Sources through the Achaemenid Persian empire which dominated not only western Asia Minor but also, at least for a certain time, the Aegean.
10h30-12h30 | Salle de séminaire (Département des Sciences de l’Antiquité)
Until the late 8th century BC ancient Near Eastern sources conceptualised the Mediterranean primarily as the ‘upper sea’ that marked an unlimited border zone of the world towards the west. This mental map changed considerably since the 9th century BC, if not earlier, when Levantine mariners started to explore the entire Mediterranean. With the subjugation of the Levantine cities by the Neo-Assyrian empire, the Assyrians made this new geographical worldview their own. Thereby, for the very first time in history, the Mediterranean was perceived as an inland sea and as a unity of its own. The conference will follow and reconstruct the essential steps and developments in the creation of this new worldview that can be characterized as a major heritage of the ancient Near East towards our times.
14h-16h | Salle des conférences (46 rue d’Ulm)
Empires do not only shape the areas under their direct political control but have impact and effect on the regions beyond. Smaller regions with their local economies and local production and exchange networks now became part of an imperial world system that not only triggered new kinds of specialization. New conditions and frameworks converted processes of production as well as the products themselves. Advances of this sort not only transformed local infrastructure and modes of production, but also had a big impact on the local elites being in charge of these processes. Local elites had previously focused on local networks, but suddenly entirely new possibilities of income and generating revenues emerged. These developments took place on the borderlands of empires although these border zones were not themselves a homogeneous world but were highly diversified. Increasingly they became crossroads of interaction where local leaders looking at their own interests took advantage of the new basic conditions by monitoring and controlling transregional networks that were to a varying degree and with different nuances part of overarching imperial structures. In the end, new political structures emerged at these borderlands that more and more successfully challenged the empire. The conference follows these dynamics in a structural way across two millennia of Afro-Eurasian history.
14h-16h | Salle des conférences (46 rue d’Ulm)
The time around 500 BCE was a watershed in the history of Afro-Eurasian entanglement. New forms of connectivity emerged from the Sahara to the Taklamakan, from the Gulf pf Bengal to the Indian Ocean, and from the Steppe to the Arabian Peninsula. The Achaemenid Persian Empire is placed in the very center of these new developments. Although modern research sill tends to neglect its decisive role in the developments of these revolutionary new dimensions of connectivity it has to be identified as the central driving force. The conference will focus on various aspects of this “Achaemenid Exchanged” that covered all over Afro-Eurasia and had lasting effects on later epochs.

PROGRAMME
Archäologie und Gesellschaft?
Seit mehreren 100 000 Jahren existiert der moderne Mensch auf unserem Planeten. Die archäologische Forschung befasst sich mit der gesamten Spanne der Menschheitsgeschichte und somit auch mit allen Herausforderungen, denen sich vergangenen Gesellschaften stellen mussten. Schon immer mussten Menschen sich mit Krieg, Pandemien, klimatischen Veränderungen und Migrationswellen auseinandersetzen.
In dieser Vortragsreihe möchten wir eben diese Herausforderungen behandeln. Unter dem Titel „Archäologie und Gesellschaft“ befassen wir uns mit gesellschaftlich relevanten Themen und beleuchten diese von einem archäologischen Standpunkt aus. Denn die Archäologie verfügt über mehr Gegenwartsbezug als allgemein angenommen. Unter dem Motto: „Aus der Vergangenheit lernen“ werden verschiedene Archäolog:innen aus aktuellem Anlass das Thema
Migration und Kulturkontakte behandeln und diskutieren. Das Archäologische Institut der Universität Hamburg und der Fachschaftsrat Archäologie laden alle Interessierten unabhängig von ihrem Kenntnisstand herzlich ein, den Vorträgen in Präsenz oder online beizuwohnen.
