« THE WORLD BETWEEN EMPIRES: ART AND IDENTITY IN THE ANCIENT MIDDLE EAST » (NEW YORK, 18.03.-23.06.2019)
At The Met Fifth Avenue
MARCH 18-JUNE 23, 2019
Exhibition Overview
For over three centuries, the territories and trading networks of the Middle East were contested between the Roman and Parthian Empires (ca. 100 B.C.-A.D. 250), yet across the region life was not defined by these two superpowers alone. Local cultural and religious traditions flourished, and sculptures, wall paintings, jewelry, and other objects reveal how ancient identities were expressed through art. Featuring 190 works from museums in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, this exhibition will follow a journey along the great incense and silk routes that connected cities in southwestern Arabia, Nabataea, Judaea, Syria, and Mesopotamia, making the region a center of global trade. Several of the archaeological sites featured, including Palmyra, Dura-Europos, and Hatra, have been damaged in recent years by deliberate destruction and looting, and the exhibition will also examine these events and responses to them.
The exhibition is made possible by Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman.
Additional support is provided by the Gail and Parker Gilbert Fund and the Ruddock Foundation for the Arts.
The catalogue is made possible by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Paleologan reflections in the art of Cyprus (1261-1489) / Παλαιολόγειες αντανακλάσεις στην τέχνη της Κύπρου (1261-1489)
Hall of Temporary Exhibitions of the Byzantine Museum of the Archbishop Makarios III Foundation.
DATES: 30 January – 30 July 2019
Following the celebration of the “European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018” the Archbishop Makarios III Foundation and Cyprus Tourism Organization present the thematic exhibition “Palaeologan Reflections in the Art of Cyprus (1261-1489)”. The exhibition aims to highlight the impact of Constantinople laying emphasis on the leading role of the Palaeologan art in Latin-occupied Cyprus. It illustrates the evolution of the technique and style of the icons produced during the Latin Rule from 1261 to 1489 in the context of the new sociohistorical and politico-religious circumstances that prevailed on the island throughout that period.
The exhibition serves as a continuation of its forerunner “Κυπριακώ τω τρόπω – Maniera Cypria” (Jan. 2017-Jan. 28, 2018). Through the research of the collected material and monuments with mural decoration it becomes manifest that during the 13th century, but also over the ensuing two centuries, the art of Cyprus, even though it reproduces the style of the 12th century, simultaneously imports into the island the high art of the Palaeologues. The new style, the so-called “Palaeologan Renaissance” is marked by the effort to depict the psychological disposition and the volume of the figures, the modelling of faces with gradual transition of tones, the harmonious combination of brilliant colours and the soft modelling of the garments’ drapery.
For the purposes of the exhibition more than 50 works of religious art (icons, wall paintings, manuscripts and artefacts of minor arts) have been put together that reflect the transplant of this new tendency in style of the Capital to the island, whereas at the same time influences from the West are also documented. The works on display come from the collections of the Byzantine Museum of the Archbishop Makarios III Foundation, the Archbishopric district, the Holy Bishopric of Limassol and the Holy Monastery of Saint Neophytos at Tala in Paphos.
The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated bilingual (Greek – English) catalogue with contributions by the professors of byzantine studies and scholars Michele Bacci, Dimitrios Triantaphyllopoulos, Charalambos Chotzakoglou, Elizabeth Yota, Chrysovalantis Kyriacou, Christodoulos Chatizichristodoulou, Andreas Jakovljevic and Ioannis Eliades, who curated the exhibition and edited the catalogue. The museographical design of the exhibition was undertaken by the architect Spyros Nasainas.

Με την ολοκλήρωση του «Ευρωπαϊκού Έτους Πολιτιστικής Κληρονομιάς 2018», το Ίδρυμα Αρχιεπισκόπου Μακαρίου Γ΄ και ο Κυπριακός Οργανισμός Τουρισμού παρουσιάζουν τη θεματική έκθεση «Παλαιολόγειες αντανακλάσεις στην τέχνη της Κύπρου (1261-1489)». Η έκθεση προβάλλει την ακτινοβολία της Κωνσταντινούπολης και καταδεικνύει τον ηγεμονικό ρόλο της παλαιολόγειας τέχνης στο περιβάλλον της φραγκοκρατούμενης Κύπρου. Παρουσιάζεται η εξέλιξη της τεχνικής και της τεχνοτροπίας των εικόνων της Λατινοκρατίας από το 1261 έως το 1489, στο νέο πλαίσιο των ιστορικo-κοινωνικών και πολιτικo-θρησκευτικών συνθηκών που επικρατούσαν στο νησί τη συγκεκριμένη περίοδο.
Η εν λόγω έκθεση αποτελεί συνέχεια της αντίστοιχης, με τίτλο «Κυπριακώ τω τρόπω – Maniera Cypria» (Βυζαντινό Μουσείο Ιδρύματος Αρχιεπισκόπου Μακαρίου Γ΄: Ιαν. 2017-28 Ιαν. 2018). Μέσα από την έρευνα του συγκεντρωθέντος υλικού, καθώς και των τοιχογραφημένων μνημείων, γίνεται σαφές πως, τόσο κατά τον 13ο αιώνα όσο και κατά τους δύο επόμενους, η τέχνη της Κύπρου, ενώ επαναλαμβάνει την τεχνοτροπία του 12ου αιώνα, ταυτόχρονα μεταλαμπαδεύει στο νησί την υψηλή τέχνη των Παλαιολόγων. Η νέα τεχνοτροπία, η «παλαιολόγειος Αναγέννηση», χαρακτηρίζεται από την προσπάθεια για απόδοση της ψυχολογικής διάθεσης και των όγκων των μορφών, το πλάσιμο των προσώπων με βαθμιαία εξασθενούμενους τόνους, τον αρμονικό συνδυασμό λαμπερών χρωμάτων και το μαλακό πλάσιμο των πτυχώσεων των ενδυμάτων.
Για τους σκοπούς της έκθεσης έχουν συγκεντρωθεί πέραν των 50 έργων θρησκευτικής τέχνης (εικόνες, τοιχογραφίες, χειρόγραφα και έργα μικροτεχνίας), στα οποία αποτυπώνεται η μεταφύτευση της νέας τεχνοτροπικής τάσης της Βασιλεύουσας στο νησί, ενώ παράλληλα καταγράφονται και επιρροές από τη Δύση. Τα έργα που εκτίθενται προέρχονται από τις συλλογές του Βυζαντινού Μουσείου του Ιδρύματος Αρχιεπισκόπου Μακαρίου Γ΄, την Αρχιεπισκοπική περιφέρεια, την Ιερά Μητρόπολη Λεμεσού και την Ιερά Μονή Οσίου Νεοφύτου στην Τάλα της Πάφου.
Την έκθεση συνοδεύει δίγλωσσος (ελληνικά-αγγλικά) εικονογραφημένος κατάλογος, στον οποίο γράφουν οι βυζαντινολόγοι πανεπιστημιακοί και ερευνητές Michele Bacci, Δημήτριος Τριανταφυλλόπουλος, Χαράλαμπος Χοτζάκογλου, Ελισάβετ Γιώτα, Χρυσοβαλάντης Κυριάκου, Χριστόδουλος Χατζηχριστοδούλου, Ανδρέας Γιακόβλεβιτς και Ιωάννης Ηλιάδης, ο οποίος επιμελήθηκε την έκθεση και τον κατάλογο. Στη μουσειολογική μελέτη της έκθεσης συνέβαλε ο αρχιτέκτονας Σπύρος Νάσαινας.

VORTRAG VON K. KUBINA: « LIEBE, SPOTT, MAGIE. DAS IDYLL DES MAXIMOS PLANUDES » (WIEN, 25.03.2019)
Dr. Krystina KUBINA
IMAFO, Abteilung Byzanzanzforschung, Wien
Liebe, Spott, Magie. Das Idyll des Maximos Planudes
Maximos Planudes ist wohlbekannt als Kenner der antiken Literatur und als Universalgelehrter, der ernsten wissenschaftlichen Forschungen nachging. Wenig bekannt ist seine leichte, spielerische Seite. Planudes hat ein Gedicht in 270 Hexametern im Gewand eines antiken Idylls hinterlassen. Ein Bauer erzaehlt einem anderen, dass er auf der Suche nach einem neuen Rind einem Magier begegnet sei, der Kunde geben koenne darueber, was die antiken Goetter gerade taten, und der ihm statt eines Rindes eine verzauberte Maus verkauft habe, die seinen Haushalt zerstoerte. So vielgestaltig wie der Plot sind die Referenzen auf antike Autoren: Im Idyll treffen Theokrit, Lukian und Tiergeschichten aufeinander und werden von Planudes zu einem kunstvollen Ganzen verbunden. Das Ergebnis ist ein humorvoller Text, dessen Witz sich nur dem erschliesst, der die gelehrten Anspielungen versteht.
Im Vortrag werden die literarische Gestaltung und das Verhaeltnis von Planudes zu seinen Hypotexten dargestellt. Zudem wird das zugleich unterhaltsame wie lehrreiche Gedicht in seinen Rezeptionskontext gesetzt und das Bild von Planudes als strengem Gelehrten infrage gestellt.

CONFÉRENCE: « LES HOMÉLIES DE GRÉGOIRE DE NAZIANZE » (PARIS, 26.03.2019)
Les Homélies de Grégoire de Nazianze
Cycle de conférences « Trésors de Richelieu »
Exemplaire célèbre de la « collection liturgique » des homélies de Grégoire de Nazianze, une sélection des seize discours lus dans la liturgie de l’office de l’aurore (orthros), le manuscrit Grec 550 de la BnF se distingue par son illustration au style d’une richesse inouïe: miniatures a’ pleine page, frontispices sur fond or accompagnes de représentations d’animaux et de scènes de la vie quotidienne, initiales aux motifs extrêmement varies font de ce manuscrit de luxe un témoin unique de l’art du temps des Comnenes. Néanmoins le lieu d’exécution du manuscrit fait encore débat: s’agit-il d’un produit de la capitale de l’empire ou d’une œuvre d’un atelier de l’Orient byzantin, voire de l’Italie du Sud, où le manuscrit est attesté dans la seconde moitié du XIVe siècle?

Late Antique Textualities, January 2–5, 2020, Society for Classical Studies, Sponsored by the Society for Late Antiquity, Organizer: Colin Whiting, American School of Classical Studies at Athens
In Latin, textus can mean a piece of weaving. Late antiquity is well thought of as a text or a collocation of texts in which many strands are woven together— strands of the old (the Classical past, old genres, persisting aspects of material culture) and strands of the new (Christianity, new or hybridized written genres, new or hybridized elements in material culture or the built environment). At the meeting of the Society for Classical Studies in Washington, D.C., January 2–5, 2020, the Society for Late Antiquity will sponsor a session on the various textualities in late antiquity.
We are looking for papers on textuality in either written texts or material culture. Papers can consider issues of textuality in late-ancient written texts, e.g., language, intertextuality with prior written texts (pagan or Christian), or even genre. Potential panelists could also propose papers that consider textuality in material culture or the built environment, e.g., aesthetics, building styles, or methods that weave together old and new. We also encourage prospective panelists to construe the term textuality broadly and propose papers that transcend and/or question the options enumerated here.
Abstracts for papers requiring a maximum of 20 minutes to deliver should be sent no later than February 23, 2019 by email attachment to Colin Whiting at cwhiting@ascsa.org. All submissions will be judged anonymously by two referees. Prospective panelists must be members in good standing of the SCS at the time of submission and must include their membership number in the cover letter accompanying their abstract. Please follow the SCS’s instructions for the format of individual abstracts: https://classicalstudies.org/annual-meeting/guidelines-authors-abstracts. The submission of an abstract represents a commitment to attend the 2020 meeting should the abstract be accepted. No papers will be read in absentia and the SLA is unable to provide funding for travel to Washington, D.C.

The 52nd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies ‘Blood in Byzantium’
Churchill College and Trinity College, Cambridge 30 March – 1 April, 2019
In 2019, the Symposium will be returning to Cambridge for the first time since 1990. The theme which has been chosen is ‘Blood in Byzantium’. This theme will facilitate inter-disciplinary discussion of research and ideas embracing Byzantine religion, art history, military history, social history, and law, as well Byzantine medicine and philosophy, drawing upon the extensive theoretical and historical literature that has emerged on the body, blood, and medicine in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, but which has yet to be systematically applied to Byzantium and its neighbours. Sessions will be arranged around the themes of ‘The Blood of Christ’; ‘The Blood of the Martyrs’; ‘Blood, Dynasty and Kinship’; ‘Bloodshed’; and ‘Blood in Medicine, Philosophy and Art’.
The main sessions of the conference will be held at Churchill College, with a reception and dinner at Trinity College.
Confirmed speakers include Claudia Rapp, Jane Baun, Phil Booth, Ioannis Pappadogiannakis, Stavroula Constantinou, Anne Alwis, Elena Draghici-Vasilescu, Caroline Goodson, Philip Wood, Nick Evans, Ruth Macrides, Andrew Marsham, Peter Frankopan, Alexandra Vukovich, Teresa Shawcross, Theodora Antonopoulou, Mike Humphreys, Maroula Perisnadi, Yannis Stouraitis, Petros Bouras-Vallianatos, Rebecca Flemming and Barbara Zipser.

“Byzantine Centres of Magnificence”, Oxford University Byzantine Studies Summer Course for Adults,
13-20 July 2019, Rewley House, Oxford.
Apart from Constantinople, the political and cultural capital of the Byzantine empire for over a thousand years, there were other wealthy cities and towns as well as monastic communities in the empire which produced exquisite cultural and artistic products. Using contemporary texts and visual aids, the course will trace the development of Constantinople and certain other Byzantine centres and examine the cultural, artistic and everyday life in those centres from the fourth to the fifteenth century.
The course will be taught by Dr Aphrodite Papayianni, who teaches at the University of London and OUDCE. She has a particular interest in the Byzantine-Western relations and has published articles in various topics of Byzantine History.

BYZANTINE STUDIES WORKSHOP: « RESOURCING ARCHIVES: NEW RESEARCH ON OLD DATA – RECEPTION AND FORMATION IN LATE ANTIQUE SYRIA-PALESTINE » (WASHINGTON, D.C., 29.03.2019)
Dumbarton Oaks (press@doaks.org)
Resourcing Archives: New Research on Old Data – Reception and Formation in Late Antique Syria-Palestine
WHERE
The Oak Room, Fellowship House
WHEN
March 29, 2019
08:30 AM to 05:00 PM
Byzantine Studies Workshop / Konstantina Karterouli, Gideon Avni, and Alan Walmsley, Organizers
Academic and national institutions are the holders of extensive inventories documenting cultural assets and historical landscapes. Recent global initiatives have invested efforts in the preservation of this body of material and raised awareness on the major significance of archives in understanding the past. The rise of the internet has facilitated the systematic display, searchability, and easy accessibility of archives – a process still in its infancy – while new geospatial and other digital technologies have provided a wealth of additional data points. Dumbarton Oaks has recently acquired a large collection of photographs that offer a comprehensive record of Syrian late antique heritage in the 1990s. This collection forms part of a global network of archival resources stored in a number of institutions in the US, Europe, and the Middle East that document the late antique Syria-Palestine. Collectively, these archives present invaluable scholarly evidence that has hardly been used in a systematic manner in Middle Eastern studies. This essential data should be incorporated with the evidence of field research conducted in more recent decades, as well as with data resulting from new technologies and systems of recording, to advance research in the face of the abrupt stop of fieldwork in Syria and the destruction of documentation.
The workshop will be divided into three sessions, each focusing on a distinct research theme, and demonstrating different modes of engaging archival and digital data. The first session (« Settings ») will lay down the broad metrics of the discussion, focusing on urban and regional settings. Specifically, participants will be asked to contemplate questions such as adaptive responses to social change as reflected in the urban landscape, and the interaction across urban and rural areas via networks of agricultural and pastoral societies. A crucial variable to engage is the question of time and diachronic processes. The second session (« Sites ») will deal with sites as case studies that combine fieldwork research with archival material. One of the goals of this session is to advance the interpretation of the archaeological record through close attention to indicators of late antique processes of reception and new development seen in the areas of architecture and the study of material remains. The third session (« Sacred landscapes ») will explore the making, and long histories, of sacred landscapes as seen in art and epigraphy, addressing questions such as the shifting social, economic, political, and cultural dimensions of religious sites and continuities and discontinuities in the production of material culture. The goal of the workshop is to further develop the current understanding of processes of transformation in late antique Syria-Palestine by focusing on the dynamic relation between reception and formation, which ties into contemporary research on adaptive and agile societies more generally.

Processions: Urban Ritual in Byzantium and Neighboring Lands
Byzantine Studies Symposium, Leslie Brubaker and Nancy Ševčenko, Symposiarchs
Military, civic, and religious processions were hallmarks of the ancient and medieval world; they continued into the Renaissance and, indeed, continue to this day. The Byzantine procession has not yet been subjected to any synthetic, historicizing, contextualizing, or comparative examination.
Understanding processions is critical for our appreciation of how urban space worked and was manipulated in the Middle Ages. For the 2019 Dumbarton Oaks Byzantine Symposium, speakers will examine texts, artifacts, and images to develop a new understanding of medieval urban life across multiple social registers. For example, records of processions show us what kinds of public behavior were acceptable, and when, and where. Studying processions introduces us to new protagonists as well, for processions involve audiences as well as participants, and groups hitherto virtually invisible, such as the team of people who prepared for the event by decorating the streets, will be brought to light. The Byzantine commitment to processions is striking in terms of the resources and time allocated: there were as many as two processions a week in Constantinople, many involving the patriarch and the emperor. In the Latin West, the Crusader States, and in the Fatimid, Ottoman, and Muscovite worlds, by comparison, processions occurred far less frequently: the procession was significantly more important to the Byzantines than to their neighbors and successors. The comparative study of Byzantine processions to be offered by the speakers at the symposium will reveal how the Byzantines operated in a complex global network defined by local contexts, how the Byzantines positioned themselves within this network, and the nature of the Byzantine legacy to the Islamic, Catholic, and Orthodox inheritors of their culture.

SUMMER PROGRAM OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY IN ROME: « THE ART HISTORICAL IMAGE IN THE DIGITAL AGE » (ROME, 01-12.07.2019; APPLICATION DEADLINE: 08.04.2019)
THE ART HISTORICAL IMAGE IN THE DIGITAL AGE
« The Art Historical Image in the Digital Age » at the American Academy in Rome is a ten-day, intensive course designed to equip scholars of art from any historical period with the basic skills necessary to excel in the digital humanities: digital image management, organization, and analysis.
Since its inception, the disciplines of art history, as well as archaeology and conservation science, have focused to a great extent on the collection and analysis of images. Just as the ability to reproduce and circulate images through photography revolutionized the study of art in the nineteenth century, so too has digital imaging transformed the field in the twenty-first. The ease and speed with which digital images are now created, using a variety of apparatuses, has meant that scholars have access to and create ever-growing numbers of images, from reproductions of artworks to scans of documents and books. In addition, fields such as technical art history and archaeology have harnessed technologies such as laser scanning (lidar) to formulate research questions and produce new insights. This profusion of digital images has transformed research practices in these fields and raises both practical and conceptual questions. What constitutes image data? In what ways do archives, libraries, conservation labs, or even researchers themselves classify and organize this data, and how can it be analyzed? In what ways can researchers leverage digital-imaging tools and methods, while maintaining the rigor of their research and scholarship? Students participating in this summer school will begin to answer these questions by considering broader questions that affect art historical practice while at the same time gaining technical knowledge that will help make them critical and informed users of both image data and technical imaging technologies, such as 3D and spectral imaging.
This course takes advantage of the unique resources of the American Academy in Rome to prepare scholars to chart new directions in creating, managing, and using images for art historical research and scholarship in the digital age. Using as a case study a set of art historical image data in Rome, a city that the Academy founder Charles F. McKim deemed the very best place to study art, the course will familiarize participants with the basics skills necessary to organize and manage digital images. Participants will learn the key concepts and vocabulary to discuss image data and its integral role in the digital humanities. They will also develop skills to manage image data most effectively for art historical research, such as the creation and manipulation of image metadata and digital tools like Mirador. As part of their investigation of digital images, participants will also discuss the impact of digital technology on our experience of art using Rome as an example.
The course is ideal for graduate students and scholars who are eager to develop new methodologies in art history using digital strategies. Participants will be selected on the basis of their ability to formulate compelling research questions about the conjunction of digital humanities and art history. While projects that address issues in art from antiquity to the modern era are welcome, preference will be given to those that would benefit from access to resources in Rome.
Dates: July 1-12, 2019
Application Deadline: April 8, 2019
Director: Emily Pugh, Digital Humanities Specialist, Getty Research Institute

APPEL À CANDIDATURES POUR 5 CONTRATS DOCTORAUX FONT IFAO (APPLICATION DEADLINE: 30.04.2019)
Appel à candidatures pour 5 contrats doctoraux font IFAO (Institut français d’archéologie orientale).
Dans le cadre du soutien apporté aux actions de coopération internationale, le ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l’Innovation accorde chaque année cinq contrats doctoraux en partenariat entre une École Doctorale et l’une des cinq Écoles françaises à l’étranger (EFE): École française d’Athènes, École française de Rome, Institut français d’archéologie orientale, École française d’Extreme-Orient, Casa de Velazquez (École des hautes études hispaniques et ibériques).
Dans le cadre de ce dispositif, un contrat doctoral est alloué chaque année à l’Ifao.
On notera que cette allocation vient s’ajouter au contingent dont dispose chaque Ecole Doctorale: elle constitue donc à la fois un renforcement de l’aide aux jeunes chercheurs et un soutien à la recherche française à l’étranger. Par ailleurs, l’obtention de l’allocation n’implique pas nécessairement une résidence en Egypte.
Les dossiers de candidature pour l’Ifao devront être déposés sous forme électronique (document pdf unique) sur le site internet de l’Ifao sous la rubrique Annonces / Postes and emplois avant le 30 avril 2019 à 15h (heure du Caire).
Tous renseignements peuvent être demandés au secretariat de la direction, Mme Hélène Wahba (telephone: +20 2 27971649, courriel: direction@ifao.egnet.net)
Les résultats seront communiqués avant la fin du mois de juin 2019
