The seminar will be hosted by (Hunter College, NY) and Dr Saskia Stevens (Ancient History and Classical Civilization) and Dr Megan Welton (Medieval Culture) will co-conduct the seminar with him.
Ancient and medieval walls
Interested graduate students will be introduced to a wide range of surviving ancient and medieval archaeological and textual sources, as well as the central theoretical and methodological issues scholars have formulated to analyse ancient and medieval walls. This seminar will focus on the material and symbolic aspects of inclusion and exclusion that these walls represented. Students will be encouraged to discuss and debate the political, religious, and literary representations of these material structures, as symbols and concrete manifestations of the creation and delineation of the civic body.
Reflection
As part of the curriculum of the Onderzoekschool Medi毛vistiek and OIKOS, this discussion will then culminate in a short written reflection on the seminar of ca. 1000 words. Further details and required reading materials will be provided after the registration deadline. For further enquiries and registration, please contact: murosetmoenia@gmail.com.
