  Voluntary Associations in the Yugoslav Space

  Relations with State and Family from the Late 19th Century to the Present

  The workshop focusses on the changing relationship between voluntary associations/NGOs, the state and the family. According to traditional sociological views, civil society – and thus associations, as its most frequently evoked incarnation – are conceived as being opposed to both the state and the family, a sort of free space for collective agency escaping from the strictures of both kinship structures and of the state. More recently, scholars of civil society have convincingly shown the problems with drawing a clear-cut border between the state and VAs/NGOs, and tend to see this border as porous, shifting, and subject to negotiation.

  L’aristocratie odryse : signes et lieux du pouvoir en Thrace (Ve‐IIIe siècle avant J.‐C.)

  The Odrysian aristocracy: insigna and seats of power (5th-3rd c. BC)

  Le départ des forces perses du nord de l’Égée en 479 av. J.‐C. engage un processus de recomposition politique qui consacre l’emprise d’Athènes sur les cités grecques du littoral égéen et accompagne l’expansion du Royaume de Macédoine. Parallèlement, émerge en Thrace un pouvoir royal, celui des odryses, qui dépasse pour la première fois le cadre de la tribu en imposant sa domination sur un large territoire couvrant, sous Sitalkès (ca. 430 av. J.‐ C.), toutes les terres présentes entre les rivages nord‐égéens et le Danube. Dès lors s’élabore au sein de ce nouvel état une identité aristocratique originale qui joue un rôle unificateur auprès des élites locales. Ce colloque propose d’aborder quelques‐unes des facettes de ce Royaume odryse.

  Geoarchaeological research in the Black Sea and the Azov Sea

  Since the first studies undertaken in 1783 by Gablitz on the chora of Chersonesos, the Black Sea comprises an important area to look at the rural and coastal development of the Greek colonial world. Systematic surveying of ditches and walls that line the western coast of Crimea, initiated within the framework of Catherine II’s Greek project, began several decades before the earliest excavations of the urban spaces in 1832. A decisive new step was made during the 1960s, when archaeological surveys provided fresh insights into the internal organization of several kleroi close to Chersonesos, Kerkinitis and Kalos Limen. Around the same time, in the western Black Sea, the first research on the territory of Istros began, complemented by numerous geomorphological studies of the neighbouring Danube Delta. The foundations of geoarchaeological inquiry had been laid, and these have since been added to thanks to recent research undertaken throughout the Pontic area.
