  Talking about the city in Greek in Antiquity and in the Byzantine age

  Le colloque « Dire la ville en grec aux époques antique et byzantine », qui se tiendra à Créteil et à Paris les 10 et 11 juin 2016, invite à s’interroger sur les mots et les discours relatifs à la ville dans les territoires où l’on a parlé grec au cours de l’Antiquité et du Moyen Âge. Cette étude du vocabulaire et du langage vise à mieux comprendre les représentations mentales qui sous-tendent l’usage des mots et que, dans un mouvement inverse mais simultané, ces derniers construisent. Comment les mots de la ville se façonnent-ils ? Comment les mots façonnent-ils la ville ?

  Ottoman Urban Studies Seminar 2008-2009

  Daily Life in Ottoman Towns

  What is the historical experience of cities in the former territories of the Ottoman Empire - in the Balkans, Anatolia, the Middle East, and North Africa - in dealing with the impact of global changes and the transformation from Empire to nation States? How did people of different cultural, social and religious backgrounds live together? How are such examples of conviviality, conflict, migration, and urban regimes of governance and stratification conceptualized? And how have urban traditions been reinterpreted, and what bearing does this have on modern conceptions of civil society, multicultural societies, migration, or cosmopolitanism. These and other questions will be addressed in this year’s Seminar in Ottoman Urban Studies, with a specific focus on daily life issues. This seminar is supported by the research program ‘Europe in the Middle East – The Middle East in Europe’ EUME with funds of the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung.
