A Crucible of Cultures: Cultural Exchange in the Ancient Mediterranean
In the wake of Hordern and Purcell¡¦s The Corrupting Sea, there has
been a renewed interest in studying the cultures of the Mediterranean
as part of an integrated whole rather than in isolation. The annual OSU
Classics Graduate Colloquium invites papers on a range of topics that
explore the interconnections between peoples in and around the
Mediterranean in the ancient world broadly conceived (Bronze Age to
Byzantium/Carolingian Renaissance). Since most research has focused on
relatively narrow archaeological concerns, we encourage papers that
attempt to tackle big picture questions. Broad categories might include:
¡P authorship, authorial voice, responses to cultural
connectedness
¡P social and structural patterns, institutions
¡P theoretical and methodological approaches to cultural contact
and exchange
¡P language contact; bilingualism; multilingualism
¡P religions: old, new, emerging
¡P heresies; prophets; false-prophets
¡P economic exchange and commerce
¡P warfare; resettlement; displacement
¡P iconography; visual and performative arts
We encourage papers from all fields including, but not limited to,
Archaeology, Philosophy, Near Eastern Languages, History, Linguistics,
Religious Studies, Art History, Classics, Anthropology, Geography, etc.
Preference will be given to papers that incorporate a non-Classical
culture with Greece and/or Rome over those that analyze the itneraction
between Greece and Rome alone.
We are excited to announce that Dr. Johannes Haubold of Princeton
University will be presenting a keynote lecture entitled ¡§A
Bastardized and Unserious Inheritance: the Case of Chaldaean Philosophy.
