30. Oktober - 2. November 2025: Burg und Konflikt in Mittelalter und Neuzeit

10. September 2025, Ansgar Teichgräber - Veranstaltungen

Burg und Konflikt in Mittelalter und Neuzeit
Tübingen, 30. Oktober – 2. November 2025

Anmeldefrist: 10. Oktober 2025

Burgen als Schauplätze von Macht und Konflikt
Burgen stehen wie kaum ein anderer Bautypus für Macht – und für Konflikt. Die Tagung in Tübingen widmet sich ihrer Rolle in kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart: als militärische Stützpunkte, Symbole von Herrschaft oder Ziel intentioneller Zerstörung.

Im Fokus stehen bekannte Konflikte – etwa die Belagerung der Burg Hohentübingen (1078), der Städtekrieg (1377) oder der Bauernkrieg von 1525, dessen 500. Jahrestag einen zentralen Schwerpunkt bildet. Dabei wird auch der Blick auf frühere und internationale bäuerliche Erhebungen wie die Bundschuhbewegung oder den Aufstand in Tirol (1526) gerichtet.

Neben historischen Perspektiven stehen auch aktuelle Fragen im Mittelpunkt: Wer trägt Verantwortung für Erhalt, Sanierung und Vermittlung? Welche Interessen und Konflikte treffen beim Umgang mit Burgen heute aufeinander – zwischen Denkmalschutz, öffentlicher Nutzung und touristischem Anspruch?

Die Tagung bringt Fachleute aus Geschichte, Archäologie und Bauforschung und zusammen – und bietet Raum für neue Perspektiven auf Burgen als Orte der Auseinandersetzung, damals wie heute.

Anmeldung bis 10. Oktober 2025 über das folgende Anmeldeformular (docx)  und senden Sie es per E-Mail an sekretariat.ifgl@ifgl.uni-tuebingen.de oder per Post an die im Formular genannte Adresse.

16–19 October 2025: Entangled Rivers. A multi-layered portrait of Southern Mesopotamia

08. September 2025, Ansgar Teichgräber - Veranstaltungen

Entangled Rivers
A multi-layered portrait of Southern Mesopotamia
16–19 October 2025
Bern, Switzerland

Deadline for registration: 30 September 2025

Pursuing a holistic approach towards the diachronic reconstruction of the ancient hydro-cultural landscape of Southern Mesopotamia, we invite archaeologists, philologists, geoscientists, and data scientists to share insights in current state of the art research in landscape archaeology and historic geography. Together with network researchers, we aim to critically discuss the potentials and obstacles of multi-layered networks as a device to interlink and analyze data from archaeological, textual, historical, and paleoenvironmental sources. A further goal of this multi-disciplinary discourse is the agreement on best practice standards to foster the interoperability and re-usability of data sets across disciplines.

Call for Papers: 1. Interdisciplinary BAJA Workshop: "Who was who? Persons in Antiquity"

04. September 2025, Ansgar Teichgräber - Call for papers

1. Interdisciplinary BAJA Workshop:
"Who was who? Persons in Antiquity"
7.-8.11.2025, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Deadline for submission: October 1, 2025

Who was actually who and who was someone?
We encounter people in ancient cultures in portraits, texts, archaeological contexts – as individuals, as functionaries, as symbols. But what do we really know about them? And what does it mean to reconstruct "persons of antiquity"?

The workshop "Who was who? People in Antiquity" invites doctoral candidates and early career postdocs to approach this topic together across disciplinary boundaries through methodological exchange and new perspectives.

The workshop is part of the BAJA workshop series and funded by the KSBF Doctoral Promotion Office. This year, it is aimed in particular at researchers who move between disciplinary boundaries and want to develop new questions together. The plan is to publish the contributions and a joint thesis paper. We combine Lightning Talks (5-7 minutes) – as an impulse on your topics, ideas, or case studies – with an open fishbowl discussion: a dynamic format where listeners can join the conversation at any time. The aim is not a classic lecture audience, but a productive exchange at eye level.

Contributions from all areas of classical studies with a wide variety of focuses, such as prosopography, iconography, cultural theory, and methodological approaches from sociology, psychology, computer science or related fields are welcome!

If you would like to participate, send us a short abstract (max. 250 words) with title, a summary of your contribution and a short biographical information by October 1, 2025, to: eva.maria.hemauer@hu-berlin.de

Call for Papers: 17th Freiburg (Groningen) Workshop on Hellenistic Poetry

03. September 2025, Ansgar Teichgräber - Call for papers

17th Freiburg (Groningen) Workshop on Hellenistic Poetry
Inscriptional Poetry of the Hellenistic age
Freiburg im Breisgau, 23-25 September 2026

Deadline for submission: 31 October 2025

The Seminar für klassische Philologie at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg announces the seventeenth workshop in the series formerly known as the “Groningen Workshops on Hellenistic Poetry”, now for the first time to be organised in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany on 23-25 September 2026. The theme of this workshop will be Inscriptional Poetry of the Hellenistic age.

Inscriptional poetry of the Hellenistic era is an under-exploited resource for expanding our understanding of Hellenistic literature, society and culture. With its direct connection to specific material contexts, its embeddedness within local history, religion and culture, and its direct link to the lives of individuals otherwise unknown, inscribed poetry offers a precious window onto the Hellenistic world. Moreover, studying inscribed texts allows us to move beyond core centers of poetic patronage and learning (including Alexandria) to gain insight into the whole range of literary experience and experimentation across the Hellenistic world. This corpus, in short, can both challenge and enrich our understanding of the literature of this era.

Scholars wishing to contribute a paper to the workshop are requested to send an e-mail to jacqueline.klooster@altphil.uni-freiburg.de with the title of their paper and a brief abstract (1 page) by 31 October 2025. On acceptance, you will be asked to send a PDF of the complete text of the paper by 1 May 2026, so that it can be distributed among the participants well in advance of the workshop. During the workshop itself there will be time for a short introduction (ca. 10 minutes) followed by extensive discussion of the paper (ca. 35 minutes). If necessary, the workshop will also have an online component.
We are confident we will be able to (partly) fund travel and accommodation costs.

12th -14th September 2025: Connecting Pillars: Phenomenon Herm in Perspective. Exploring the Semi-Figural, Tradition and Innovation in Ancient Sculpture

21. August 2025, Ansgar Teichgräber - Veranstaltungen

Connecting Pillars: Phenomenon Herm in Perspective. Exploring the Semi-Figural, Tradition and Innovation in Ancient Sculpture.
Internationale conference hosted by the Division for Classical Archaeology
12th -14th September 2025
Zurich/remote

The conference Connecting Pillars marks the first exchange of international researches in Classical Studies on the phenomenon of the ancient herm. It aims to explore the various manifestations of the herm form within antiquity's deliberately shaped visual culture from an interdisciplinary perspective. In a combination of specialist lectures and interactive workshops featuring discussants and contributors from a range of disciplines within the field of Classical Studies (Classical Archaeology/Image Studies, Ancient History/Epigraphy, and Classical Philology), participants will examine the media-specific and formal characteristics of this unique semi-figural artefact. The herm form, which has been omnipresent in the visual and textual culture of antiquity, continues to resonate to this day. 

The conference is organized by the Herm-Research-Network (Caterina Schorer, Universities of Zurich and Heidelberg | Antje-Sophie Menschner, University of Freiburg | Regina Hanslmayr, University of Zurich), and is hosted by the Division for Classical Archaeology of the Department of Archaeology with the support of Chair Prof. Dr. Corinna Reinhardt and in collaboration with the Zurich Center for the Study of the Ancient World (ZAZH).

Presentation will be held in both German and English. Students and other interested guests are warmly welcome. The lectures can also be followed online via Zoom. Workshops are held only on site, and we kindly ask participants to register in advance.

Students traveling to the conference from Switzerland or abroad may apply for a travel grant by submitting a CV and a letter of motivation to ConnectingPillars@archaeologie.uzh.ch by September 3rd, 2025.

Call for Papers: Family Matters - Family Letters. Latin Epistolography between literary readings and social history

20. August 2025, Ansgar Teichgräber - Call for papers

Family Matters - Family Letters. Latin Epistolography between literary readings and social history
International Early Career Workshop
Tübingen, July 2-3, 2026

Deadline for submission: September 12, 2025

We propose to investigate concepts and representations of family in Latin letter collections in ways that contribute to the fruitful field of studies in epistolography while also tying our discussion to broader questions of social history. From a literary point of view, we will investigate literary representations and narrativisations of familial relations in letters and ask how concepts of family shaped their production, collection, edition and publication. From a historical angle, we will discuss the peculiarities of the genre as regards its value as a source for social history and explore conclusions that might (or might not) be drawn from them.

We invite abstracts of around 300 words and an additional short biography for each researcher by September 12, 2025 (please address to katharina.blaas@uni-tuebingen.de and lisa.eberle@uni-tuebingen.de). We envision 30 minute papers + 15 minutes of discussion each. If you are unsure if you still count as an ‘early career academic’ from the German perspective, do get in touch! We are in the process of applying for funding to cover the cost of travel and accommodation for speakers. Confirmed speakers include Catharine Edwards (Birkbeck), Angela Ganter (Regensburg), Roy K. Gibson (Durham).
