Marseille

Conference, symposium - History

"Loimos", "pestis" and plagues. Comparative perspectives on major epidemics

De quels savoirs disposons-nous pour penser les grands fléaux épidémiques ? Ce colloque propose une approche historique et pluridisciplinaire des « pestes » qui ont sévi dans l’aire méditerranéenne depuis l’Antiquité jusqu’à nos jours. Programmé en amont de la Covid 19, pour commémorer le tricentenaire de la peste de 1720 à Marseille, il fournit une occasion unique de réfléchir sur les fléaux épidémiques au moment même où nos sociétés en font l’expérience.

Aix-en-Provence

Conference, symposium - History

Climate and Societies in the Mediterranean during the Last Two Millennia

Current State Of Knowledge and Research Perspectives

This two-day international conference aims to highlight recent and challenging interdisciplinary studies dealing with complex historical climate/society interactions in Mediterranean during the last two millennia. The study of these existing connections can help in better understanding the role played by past climatic events in the eruption of regional conflicts, in forced migration and displacement of people, in periodically appearing infectious disease outbreaks or in subsistence crises like food shortages and famines Similarly, it seems necessary to identify and analyze socio-economic and technological responses (e.g. water supply systems) together with mitigation and general adaptation strategies, insofar as they existed, to cope with climate change.
