Call for papers
Elites.Representations.Entanglements in Afro-EurAsia, 1200 BC to AD 800
Workshop
Innsbruck, 13-14 November 2026
Submission Deadline: 30 April 2026
The goal of the workshop is to bring together scholars of various disciplines and historical periods to attempt to answer overarching questions, including how elites are formed within these structures and manage to uphold their status, which strategies and media were used for their representations, and how connections within and between the groups arise and manifest themselves. In order to explore these questions in a broad yet comparable framework, the workshop focuses on the extended Mediterranean (Afro-EurAsia) between 1200 BC and AD 800.
We especially welcome abstracts from early career researchers (PhD candidates and Postdocs) in the historical and archaeological disciplines. Please submit proposals for papers as a PDF abstract of 300 words in English.
Depending on the thematic coherence of the submitted abstracts, the workshop will take one of two formats:
(1) Workshop format: Participants will prepare a short written essay (approx. 5-10 pages) prior to the event. During the workshop, each contribution will be introduced by a brief presentation, followed by an extensive discussion based on the pre-circulated essays.
(2) Conference format: Contributions will be presented as individual 20-minute papers followed by discussion.
We aim to choose the format best fittng to the participants and their research interests. Naturally, the decision of either format will be communicated well in advance.
Abstracts may be sent until 30th of April 2026 to the complete organisation board.
