Diffusion of zoological knowledge in late Antiquity and The Byzantine period
The 2019 conference in Trier will focus on this process of diffusion and transformation of zoological data in Late Antiquity and the Byzantine Period by selected case studies. We welcome studies on single authors or texts in Greek, Latin and Arabic, studies on visual images and monuments, or – in a wider perspective – on literary genres, different media in the visual arts or specific cultural contexts in view of their influence on literature and art.

Funerary monuments in Trévires, local and supraregional perspectives
Les monuments funéraires romains de la cité des Trévires sont à maints égards exceptionnels. Ils constituent un important corpus de l’art et de l’architecture impériaux, autant par le grand nombre de monuments conservés que par leur apparence caractéristique. L’objectif de la conférence est de présenter les résultats de projets de recherche en cours, traitant des monuments du territoire de la Gallia Belgica et des provinces avoisinantes, telles la Gallia Lugdunensis, Germania inferior et superior. La conférence vise à créer une plateforme transfrontalière d’échange de résultats et d’approches méthodologiques, qui permettra également la réévaluation des problématiques de recherche existantes.

Human procreation and family planning and the challenge of the evolution in values in the 20th century
Aidé par les progrès technologiques et médicaux accomplis au cours du XXe siècle dans le domaine de la contraception, de l’avortement, de la stérilisation et de l’aide médicale à la procréation, l’homme (et, de plus en plus, la femme) des sociétés occidentales s’est progressivement approprié la maîtrise de sa fécondité. Cependant, cette appropriation ne s’est pas déroulée sans heurts. Ainsi, la question de savoir par qui, quand, en quel nombre, dans quelles conditions, dans quel but mettre des enfants au monde, et même si on devrait le faire, a fait l’objet de réflexions individuelles et de conflits sociaux et a pu recevoir, au cours des décennies, des réponses fort différentes.

Concepts and Praxis of Rapprochement during the 20th Century
Today there are almost 20,000 communal partnerships across Europe. In fact, they have become somewhat of a mass phenomenon since the 1960s. Despite this impressive development, historical research has shown little devotion to this particular form of international relations. Its detailed analysis, however, allows special insight into the participation of “common citizens” in international initiatives and international exchange in a communal setting. The goal of the conference is to depict the history of town twinning by challenging the concept and definition thereof. City partnerships have particularly developed in the context of bilateral rapprochement after the Second World War, the European Integration and the Cold War. Since the collapse of the Soviet bloc, they have also become a symbol for a Europe of civil partnership “from below”. Furthermore, they do not only play an important role in Europe and its relations with its neighbors, but through globalization, ultimately with the rest of the world.
