23–25 September 2026: Humility across Times and Cultures: Concepts, Practices, Artifacts

20. August 2026, Ansgar Teichgräber - Veranstaltungen

Humility across Times and Cultures: Concepts, Practices, Artifacts
Conference
Zurich, 23–25 September 2026

The conference aims significantly to broaden both the geographical and chronological scope of the inquiry into historical conceptions and practices of humility. The focus spans the period from 250 CE to 1500 CE and draws on sources from a wide geographical area, including Western Europe, Byzantium, and the Middle East. By centering these regions, we seek to map humility within a space that, for all its cultural diversity, was shaped in significant ways by the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. While we do not assume that humility was exclusively or primarily a religious value, there is reason to believe that within the Abrahamic traditions, it was indeed upheld as a virtue, frequently positioned in opposition to pride, which was often viewed as the most dangerous and diabolical of vices.

Conference panels will be organized along both chronological and thematic lines, encompassing European Christian regions, Byzantium, Jewish communities, and Islamic territories. Special attention will be given to the physical and social spaces in which humility was conceived and enacted, as well as to the interplay between humility and gender. 

Organization
The conference is organized by Silvia Negri (Universität Zürich, Historisches Seminar) and James Weaver (University of Oxford), within the framework of the project “Humility in theory and practice. Historical approaches across cultures”.

Venue
UZH, RAA-G-01, Rämistrasse 59, 8001 Zürich

9-11 September 2026: Officer Disobedience in Military Organizations across Epochs and Cultures

18. August 2026, Ansgar Teichgräber - Veranstaltungen

Officer Disobedience in Military Organizations across Epochs and Cultures
Bonn/hybrid, 9-11 September 2026

This transdisciplinary workshop aims at establishing individual elite disobedience in military organizations (to be differentiated from collective forms of unrest such as mutinies) as a new field of historical research. Such acts are underresearched to date, but they have proven to be consequential. The workshop brings together scholars who present case studies ranging across three continents (Africa, Asia and Europe) and from antiquity to the late twentieth--century.

Registration
The space at the venue is restricted, leaving room for only a small number of additional participants. It will, however, be possible to participate online via Zoom. Persons who would like to do so are kindly asked to contact Patrick Schmidt via email (patrick.schmidt@uni-rostock.de). He will provide them with the Zoom link for the workshop.

Venue
University of Bonn, IMPULSE - House for intellectual Innovation and Creativity, Adenauerallee 131, 53113 Bonn

21-22 September 2026: History of Austrian/Austro-Hungarian archaeology in the Balkans and the eastern Mediterranean, mid-19th to mid-20th centuries

18. August 2026, Ansgar Teichgräber - Veranstaltungen

History of Austrian/Austro-Hungarian archaeology in the Balkans and the eastern Mediterranean, mid-19th to mid-20th centuries
Symposium
Vienna, 21-22 September 2026

The symposium discusses these archaeologies within and beyond the Habsburg Empire/Austria in their colonial and imperial contexts, including the aftermath of the empire’s dissolution in 1918. Like other European powers, Austria(-Hungary) used archaeology to exercise power in respective territories, gain international prestige, and fill the museums in Vienna. In the Austrian Balkans, archaeology and historic artefacts were also meant to strengthen inhabitants’ loyalty to the rulers. On the other hand, certain local archaeologies within the empire served nationalist goals. Another focus is on the relations between archaeologists from different parts of the empire and beyond.

Venue
Austrian Academy of Sciences
Theatersaal
Sonnenfelsgasse 19
1010 Vienna

Organizers
Maximilian Georg (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Institute of Culture Studies)
Felix Höflmayer (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austrian Archaeological Institute)

FAIR 3D HERITAGE
Documentation, Publication and Preservation of the Digital 3D Heritage on the Web
Mainz/hybrid, 14–16 September 2026

FAIR 3D Heritage is a conference focused on improving how digital 3D cultural heritage can be documented, published, and preserved on the Web. It responds to the rapid growth of 3D reconstructions, scans, and models across libraries, archives, museums, and research projects by promoting interoperable workflows, robust metadata and paradata, and sustainable infrastructures that support FAIR and TRUST-aligned practices.

By bringing together researchers, heritage professionals, infrastructure providers, and software developers, FAIR 3D Heritage fosters a collaborative environment to exchange methods, tools, and best practices—from web/XR viewer ecosystems and linked-data integration to repository strategies and long-term preservation. The conference provides a platform to share results, discuss challenges, and strengthen a shared foundation for reusable, future-proof 3D heritage data.

The conference will be held in Mainz (Germany) on 14–16 September 2026 at the LUX Pavilion (Hochschule Mainz – University of Applied Sciences), the event also serves as a final presentation and critical reflection of the second funding phase of the DFG 3D-Viewer project, positioning its results within the broader landscape of digital 3D heritage infrastructures.

Venue
LUX Pavilion of the Hochschule Mainz – University of Applied Sciences, Ludwigsstraße 2, 55116 Mainz, Germany

Registration
Registration for FAIR 3D Heritage is handled through the online registration form. The conference is organised as an in-person event at the LUX Pavilion, Hochschule Mainz – University of Applied Sciences. Please note that the number of places for in-person attendance is limited.

14–15 September 2026: Making Matters. Processes and Meaning of Crafting in Graeco-Roman Antiquity

05. August 2026, Ansgar Teichgräber - Veranstaltungen

Making Matters. Processes and Meaning of Crafting in Graeco-Roman Antiquity
International Conference
Zurich/hybrid, 14-15 September 2026

The international conference Making Matters. Processes and Meaning of Crafting in Graeco-Roman Antiquity explores the changing relationships between people, artefacts, and processes of making in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds against the backdrop of contemporary debates on creativity and technological agency in the age of generative AI. As the latter increasingly blurs the boundaries between human and non-human production, these debates also draw attention to the historical contingency of such distinctions and the importance of the process of production itself.

A Zoom broadcast is planned. To receive the access link, please kindly fill out this form and we will send you the link in the days leading up to the event: https://forms.gle/68wy5f9BWwQQ1BHY8 

Venue

16.-18. September 2026: Natur – Tiere – Krieg. Beziehungen und Wechselwirkungen von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart

29. Juli 2026, Ansgar Teichgräber - Veranstaltungen

Natur – Tiere – Krieg. Beziehungen und Wechselwirkungen von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart
Internationale Konferenz
Dortmund/hybrid, 16.-18. September 2026

Anmeldeschluss: 1. September 2026

to English version

Im Zentrum der Konferenz steht die Frage, wie Natur- und Tierwelten im Kontext von Krieg und Gewalt verstanden werden können – nicht nur als Ressourcen, sondern auch als eigenständige Akteure, Resonanzkörper und Formen des Widerstands. Dabei richtet die Tagung ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf die historische Wirkmächtigkeit nichtmenschlicher Entitäten – etwa von Landschaften, Klima, Rohstoffen, Tieren oder Mikroorganismen – und auf ihre vielfältigen Verflechtungen mit menschlichen Gesellschaften in Kriegssituationen.

Die Tagung ist transdisziplinär und international ausgerichtet und bringt Forschende aller Karrierestufen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen zusammen. Sie bietet ein Forum für den Austausch unterschiedlicher Forschungsansätze und Methoden und eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf das Verhältnis von Natur, Tieren und Krieg. Ergänzt wird die Tagung durch eine kleine Ausstellung historischer Fotografien und Gemälde, die zentrale Themen der Konferenz visuell erschließt.

Anmeldung und praktische Hinweise
Die Tagungssprachen sind Deutsch und Englisch. Um sprachliche Barrieren abzubauen und eine breitere internationale Teilhabe zu ermöglichen, setzen wir KI-gestützte Simultanübersetzung ein.

Eine Anmeldung zur Teilnahme an der Tagung (online oder vor Ort) ist bis zum 1. September 2026 über folgenden Link möglich: https://forms.gle/THQXr9gYX8yStkii6. Anmeldungen per E-Mail können leider nicht berücksichtigt werden.
