Reconstruction and Resettlement in the Wake of War
This two-day workshop will examine the interlinked processes of post-war urban reconstruction and population resettlement. Extending chronologically from the American Civil War to the mid-twentieth century, and covering a broad array of geographic locations, from North America to Europe, the Middle East and East Asia, it explores how war-torn urban environments have been rebuilt and repopulated. From the mid-nineteenth century, towns and cities increasingly became the pivots of large-scale military action, and urban residents from Atlanta to Paris, Warsaw and Tokyo felt the full force of modern weaponry. But as destruction and displacement gave way to reconstruction and resettlement, the residents of these war-afflicted urban centres faced further challenges. By exploring how they returned and reconstructed their shattered homes, this workshop seeks to understand the long-term effects of conflict on the social dynamics of communities.

Realising the opportunities of digital humanities
The focus of this event is to engage academia, industry, cultural institutions and public bodies to identify the key research challenges in digital humanities, and to further build the academic-industry partnerships that will enable adoption of digital humanities skills, technologies and tools. This focus will extend to the innovative use of digital humanities technologies in the public sector demonstrating social benefit, such as the digitisation of the Irish census and the use of open linked public data. -

La religion des femmes en pays grec. Mythes, cultes et société
Le colloque de Cork, organisé par Véronique Mehl et Lydie Bodiou, sera l’occasion de travailler autour de l’ouvrage de Pierre Brulé paru en 1987 La fille d'Athènes, La religion des filles à Athènes à l’époque classique. Mythes, cultes et société qui a marqué un important tournant historiographique. La réflexion dans cet ouvrage fondateur met au centre des débats la fille – parthénos –, jeune fille ou fille non encore mariée, nous avons souhaité étendre la réflexion à la femme, comprise au sens large englobant tous les âges de la vie, des petites filles aux jeunes filles en fleur, de l’épouse à la mère, mais aussi l’âge de ne plus être mariée ou de ne plus être mère ou d’être vieille. Comme le souligne Pierre Brulé dans l’introduction de La fille d’Athènes, il va de soi qu’une telle question ne peut être abordée qu’au travers d’un large prisme : « archéologie, épigraphie, iconographie, mais aussi linguistique, prosopographie, lexicologie ».
