13. NOVEMBER 2019
Beginn: 16.00 Uhr
Oesterreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften
Seminarraeume 1. Stock

Die Rechtspluralitaet, d.h. die Koexistenz verschiedener Rechtsnormen, war von zentraler Bedeutung fuer das Selbstverstaendnis und die Stabilitaet von antiken und mittelalterlichen Gesellschaften im mediterranen und europaeischen Kulturraum. Diese Thematik kann aber auch wesentliche Impulse fuer Gegenwartsdiskurse liefern.
Jede der vier Veranstaltungen ist einem eigenen Thema gewidmet. Internationale Vortragende kommen genauso zu Wort wie Wiener Forscher/innen verschiedener Generationen. Danach gibt es Gelegenheit zur offenen Diskussion. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der aktuellen Forschung, die interessantes neues Material an Inschriften, Papyri und Manuskripten hervorgebracht hat.
Die Veranstaltungsreihe soll die Wiener Tradition der rechsthistorischen Forschung in den Vordergrund stellen und den Dialog mit internationalen Fachkapazitaeten foerdern. Sie findet mit grosszuegiger Foerderung der philosophisch-historischen Klasse der Oesterreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften statt.

[4] CONFERENCE OF HELEN C. EVANS AT DUMBARTON OAKS: “SPHERES OF INFLUENCE: BYZANTINE ART IN THE GLOBAL MIDDLE AGES” (WASHINGTON, D.C., 14.11.2019)
Spheres of Influence: Byzantine Art in the Global Middle Ages
WHERE
The Oak Room, Fellowship House
WHEN
November 14, 2019
06:00 PM to 08:00 PM
Metropolitan Museum of Art curator Helen C. Evans will discuss the reach of Byzantine art and culture during the Middle Ages.
The empire of the Romans ruled from Constantinople that we know as the Byzantine Empire was central to the major trade routes of the medieval world. Over the centuries, diverse peoples and goods traveled through the empire’s expanding and contracting lands, making its art and culture relevant not only to neighboring states but also to those as far east as Japan and Ethiopia and as far west as Spain and the British Isles. This talk will consider how the role of Byzantine art and culture and its interconnections with lands beyond its territorial borders should be central to the growing interest in the Global Middle Ages.

[5] DUMBARTON OAK’S BYZANTINE STUDIES COLLOQUIUM: “THE INSULAR WORLDS OF BYZANTIUM” (WASHINGTON, D.C., 15.11.2019)
Register now for the November 15 Byzantine Studies Colloquium
Byzantine islands have been largely considered marginal to the dramatic political, social, and economic changes the Byzantine heartland experienced in the seventh century and at the onset of Arab expansion in the eastern Mediterranean. Major islands, such as Sicily, Sardinia, Malta, and the Balearics, were lost forever. Others, like Crete and Cyprus, remained in flux until they were briefly reclaimed by Byzantium in the tenth century before coming under Latin control during the Crusades. Contrary to the perspectives offered by written sources (Byzantine, Arab, and Western), which for the most part dismiss them as marginal spaces, places of exile, or military outposts along maritime frontiers, islands constitute the best examples of the transformative adaptability of Byzantine society during periods of volatility and transition. Instead of decline and abandonment, archaeological work and results point to the existence of active communities, local and regional economic exchanges, and cultural continuities and interconnections during the period between the seventh century and the fall of Constantinople to the Crusaders in 1204.
Speakers will address the topic of Byzantine islands through case studies viewed in their broader Mediterranean and comparative contexts. The exploration of islands as hubs where Byzantine, Islamic, and Western European cultures encountered and influenced the local political, economic, and social structures will permit new insights into the networks of island societies and their legacies. Not only were islands located along commercial shipping routes, but, as spaces of adaptive economic activities and social strategies that were molded by military and political realities, they presented unique opportunities for cultural interconnections. In this context, the “Insular Worlds of Byzantium” will provide new and revised perspectives on the Byzantine Mediterranean and beyond.

William Caraher, University of North Dakota
Salvatore Cosentino, Universita’ di Bologna

La SISMED (Società Italiana degli Storici Medievisti), organizza per i giorni 18-20 giugno 2020, a Bertinoro, il II Convegno della medievistica italiana.
Come nella precedente edizione, il Convegno non è dedicato a un tema specifico, in quanto vuole dare voce al maggior numero possibile di temi e di gruppi di ricerca, anche molto
diversi fra di loro, allo scopo di presentare un quadro generale della situazione attuale della medievistica italiana.
Il Convegno sarà articolato su 4 mezze giornate, a partire dal 18 pomeriggio, durante le quali si svolgeranno più panel contemporaneamente, in sessioni parallele; il numero complessivo dei panel di ogni mezza giornata non viene stabilito preventivamente. L’ultima mezza giornata prevede anche la consegna del Premio “SISMED” per il migliore libro dell’anno (opera prima). [Per ciò che concerne il Premio SISMED si rimanda al bando relativo, pubblicato sul sito web della SISMED: http://www.sismed.eu/it/2019/
Ciascun panel dovrà essere coordinato attorno a un tema, e sarà costituito da tre relatori + un discussant; i proponenti dei panel (che potranno svolgere anche il ruolo di relatore o di discussant) dovranno essere soci Sismed, mentre gli altri partecipanti potranno non esserlo. Per questioni organizzative, non è possibile partecipare (in qualità di relatore o discussant) a più di 2 panel nel corso del convegno. Le relazioni avranno una durata di massimo 20 minuti ciascuna.
