Konuşma - Maria Mavroudi (Kaliforniya Üniversitesi) Atina, Yunanistan:Bizans: Roma, Helen ve Hristiyan Kimliğiyle (İngilizce)
Maria Mavroudi tarafından yapılacak "Bizans: Roma, Helen ve Hristiyan Kimliğiyle" başlıklı konuşma ile ilgili bilgiler şöyledir:
Adequately discussing the Roman, Greek, and Christian aspects of Byzantium (how they were experienced by the Byzantines during a millennium, how other medieval civilizations and modernity perceived these qualities in Byzantine culture) would be a book-length (and perhaps multivolume) project. A humble alternative is attempted here, in an effort to squeeze large topics within the confines of a lecture: a text foundational to the establishment of Byzantine studies as a modern academic discipline towards the end of the nineteenth century is used as a mirror of the field at that time, especially regarding a limited number of major and recurring topics in the modern historiography of Byzantium: its periodization, Roman self-identification, Christian identity, and relationship with the ancient Greek past. What is found there is compared with how twenty-first century scholarship approached the same questions. Some implications of the convergencies and differences for the present and future of the field are also drawn.
The lecture will be held in person and via Zoom
