Argument

Nowadays, Open Access frameworks dedicated to epistemology in Ancient and Medieval fields remain far too few. The main objective of the journal Frontière·s. Revue d’Archéologie, Histoire & Histoire de l’art is to provide an efficient publication support to the scientific community based on the peer review. This project, led by junior researchers, is housed by Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée Jean Pouilloux and supported by Jean Moulin University (Lyon 3).

In the field of Ancient studies, the common understanding of ‘border’ is often restricted to geopolitical limits. However, it is possible to understand ‘border’ in a wider way according to the modes of separation. Though, depending on the way of splitting, it could encompass any meanings: concrete or abstract boundaries, built or natural ones, etc. Authors are invited to consider every kind of separation between individuals, not only geophysical, state or political ones, but also social, cultural, symbolic, linguistic, metaphysical boundaries.

Frontière·s provides a cross-sectoral framework to archaeologists, historians and art historians, and moreover, a work tool published on a semestrial basis.

Ongoing CFP: ‘Imagining the Border’

Any border is a matter of imaginaries. People conceived borders - whatever their nature - depending on predefined needs and beliefs. "Imagining the Border" invites authors to question imaginaries which led to the setting of borders, or resulted from them, including actors or temporalities. Papers could grasp religious (prohibition, rites of passages...), social (elites, clergy...), physical (limits, walls, rivers...) or even heuristic borders (academic fiels, historical periodization...). Reception could also constitute a research topic, for instance, current political discourse about so-called ancient or medieval borders).
