18-20/10/2018 - Συνέδριο | Victors and Vanquished in the Euro-Mediterranean Cultures of War in the Middle Ages (Γερμανία)

A Conference of the Leibniz-WissenschaftsCampus Mainz at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, organized by: Johannes Pahlitzsch and Jörg Rogge

Conflicts significantly influenced medieval societies. The martial cultures which arose as a result developed not only in opposition to, but also under the influence of other cultures. Cultures of war are here understood as the norms, interpretations, attributions of meaning and reflections on war, as well as the forms and practices of war itself. The goal of this workshop is to analyze Euro-Mediterranean cultures of war and the importance of Byzantium for them in a comparative perspective on the basis of three concrete sets of topics:

1. Remembering Victory and Defeat
2. Practices of Celebrating Victory and Triumphs
3. The Culture of Dealing with the Vanquished
