Malta 2017 Abstracts.Docx Abstracts Thursday, June 1 9:00am-11:00am 1A. The Ancient Eastern Mediterranean: Cultures and Economies Chair: Helen Dixon, University of Helsinki Helen Dixon, University of Helsinki, “Altars to Baal: Understanding the Use of Levantine Phoenician Sacred Space” Though rarely explored on their own terms, the ten temples and shrines known from the Iron Age (ca. 1100 – ca. 300 BCE) Phoenician Levantine ‘homeland’ show evidence of significant stylistic diversity, which may be attributed both to chronological change and regional variation. This paper will focus on structures recovered from within the extant temple complexes, paying special attention to stones identified by their excavators as altars. What do the highly variable materials, shapes, and carved features of these Levantine Phoenician altars potentially tell us about the use of sacred space? How might we interpret the relationships between each ‘altar’ and other temple features, like water basins or standing stones? Evidence from neighboring Mediterranean cultures that has previously been brought to bear on the interpretation of Phoenician altars will also be reevaluated. Malgorzata Oleszkiewicz-Peralba, University of Texas at San Antonio, “Trypillian Culture as the Cradle of European Civilization” ​My paper examines the motifs found on today’s folk embroideries, weavings, ritual dress, wood carvings, painted Easter eggs, and paper cutouts from East-Central Europe, the Balkans, and Anatolia, and traces their origin to the pre-Indo-European, Neolithic, Trypole-Cucuteni culture, considered the cradle of European civilization. This culture, from the geographic area of today’s Ukraine, Moldova, and Romania, developed from the sixth till the third millennium BC, and was one of the most highly developed cultures of Neolithic Europe. Trypillian civilization was characterized by a sedentary lifestyle, and is famous for its painted pottery and female statuettes, full of feminine symbols and diagrams presenting a complete world view. Today, these symbols can be found on objects throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas, including the Mediterranean. I examine and explain the meaning of the system of symbols of Tripillian imagery, and show their correlation with motifs on contemporary folk embroideries, weavings, and carvings. Agata Kubala, Institute of Art History, University of Wrocław, Poland, “White-Ground Lekythoi as the Evidence of Athenian Funerary Rites in the Fifth Century B.C.E.” ​Among the surviving ancient Greek objects from the collection of the nineteenth-century Wrocław architect Eduard Schaubert there is a white-ground lekythos decorated with a sepulchral scene. It represents a very interesting category of ancient Greek vessels produced for funeral purposes. White-ground lekythoi with polychrome decoration were made almost exclusively by Athenian ceramists and connected with Athenian funeral rites from 470 to about 410 B.C. There are two general categories into which the scenes depicted on these particular vessels can be divided: those on which Death is represented allegorically by its ministers, Hermes, Charon Hypnos and Thanatos, and those on which made almost exclusively by Athenian ceramists and connected with Athenian funeral rites from 470 to about 410 B.C. There are two general categories into which the scenes depicted on these particular vessels can be divided: those on which Death is represented allegorically by its ministers, Hermes, Charon Hypnos and Thanatos, and those on which Athenians are seen executing the rites of burial practised at Athens in the Classical period. There are also scenes which provide evidence, that at Athens in the fifth century B.C. tombs were seen as places where one could contact the dead. Representations of the white-ground lekythoi on red-figured vases show them brought to the grave, standing or lying broken on the steps of the tomb or under the bier at the prosthesis what indicates, that they also played a role in this part of the funeral rite. The white-ground lekythoi, unlike many their red-figured counterparts, were produced at Athens and for the Athenians what makes them a very important source for our understanding of Athenian funerary rites in the fifth century B.C. as well as Athenian ideas and attitudes about death and the afterlife. Paul Sant-Cassia, University of Malta, “Why is the ‘Ancient Economy’ So Problematical?” ​Over the past 20 years’ debates on the economy of the Classical World were initially dominated by the controversy between the ‘primitivists’ (or more properly ‘substantivists’) and ‘modernists’ (i.e. ‘formalists’) (Finely et al). In an attempt to move beyond the limitations of that debate, focus has now shifted to periodic oscillations between ‘efflorescence’ and ‘equilibrium or internal states’ (Goldstone, Ober, etc). Yet some of the troubling issues in the substantivist/formalist debate (dual economies, economic rationalities) have not been fully resolved by the Efflorescence/Equilibrium model, that in turn through its reliance on Schumpeterian models of economic growth (‘destructive investment’, lower transaction costs, innovation and entrepreneurship, etc) risks creating other ‘essentialist’ accounts of ancient economies. This paper tries to navigate a way out of these two debates by showing (i) how the classical Athenian economy was integrated through the circulation of two relatively ‘invisible’ social categories (women and slaves) who bridged the divide between the citizen and the metic social and economic worlds, and (ii) how the means of destruction (in particular, the military -coinage- slavery complex) was as important as the means of production in explaining ‘efflorescences’ than any putative ‘cultural genius’. 1B. Piracy in the Medieval Mediterranean: Politics and Economy Chair, Kathryn L. Reyerson, University of Minnesota John Manke, University of Minnesota, “Piracy and State Authority in Fourteenth-Century Genoa” ​The violent factionalism that characterized Genoese politics during the Middle Ages was not limited to the city itself. Often, exiled nobles would retreat to their lands in the hinterlands of Liguria and equip pirate vessels to prey on local shipping. This problem became particularly acute when a new popular government came to power in 1339 and many nobles were sent into exile, which caused piracy to become rampant in the Ligurian Sea. To combat this, the 1339 government reformulated the Officium Robarie. This administrative apparatus was originally created to facilitate reprisal claims from foreign powers. In the 14th century, however, the focus of the Robarie shifted to prosecuting piratical activities that disaffected nobles directed at Genoese shipping. This paper will argue that this change was part of a larger process wherein the popular administrations of the 14th century sought to expand communal authority and bring stability to the "comune." Kathryn L. Reyerson, University of Minnesota, “Lordship and Piracy in the Medieval Mediterranean World” ​In this study, I will explore literary sources and documents of practice to investigate the connection between piracy and lordship in the medieval Mediterranean world. There is a range of piratical activity among the ex-patriot Genoese who flooded the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Mediterranean. There were the noble corsair lords like Enrico Pescatore, Henry, count of Malta, who had ambitions of conquering Crete in the face of Venetian dominance. Enrico served in the maritime service of Emperor Frederick II of Germany/Sicily. The Genoese pirate Vignolo de Vignoli collaborated with the Pescatore, Henry, count of Malta, who had ambitions of conquering Crete in the face of Venetian dominance. Enrico served in the maritime service of Emperor Frederick II of Germany/Sicily. The Genoese pirate Vignolo de Vignoli collaborated with the Hospitallers to conquer Aegean islands, particularly Rhodes. An admiral when he was not a corsair the remarkable Benedetto Zaccaria came to dominate Phocaea, renowned as a source of alum, and for a brief time the island of Chios, a source of mastic. Insights regarding the relationship between politics and piracy, particularly in terms of islands and pirates, should emerge from this investigation. Emily Sohmer Tai, Queensborough Community College, CUNY, “The Division of the Spoils: Cargo and Commerce in Medieval Piracy” ​“Successful merchant networks have historically been built on connections,” writes Reyerson in her study of medieval Mediterranean trade, The Art of the Deal (Brill, 2002). Scholarship has often presented maritime theft, or piracy, as an activity disruptive to such networks. As sanctioned maritime aggression, or corsairing, seizures of ships and cargo could represent a strategic campaign to rupture networks that sustained the commerce of political and economic rivals. Unsanctioned maritime theft has, meanwhile, been seen as the foundation of a “parasitic” economy, that preyed upon legitimate commerce. This paper will explore characterizations of piracy as a parallel economy in the medieval Mediterranean by focusing upon the question of what was seized in an episode of maritime interruption and how it was disposed of. An examination of these commercial interactions will show that pirate captains, however disruptive they might have been, may also be regarded as “deal-makers” in the medieval Mediterranean. 1C.

  • Writing from and for the Periphery Carving out a Place for Spanish Food Studies
    103Repensar los estudios ibéricos desde la periferia editado por José Colmeiro y Alfredo Martínez-Expósito Writing from and for the Periphery Carving Out a Place for Spanish Food Studies Lara Anderson (The University of Melbourne, Australia) Abstract This article explores the notion of the periphery as it concerns Hispanic food studies. It argues that the periphery has a multiplicity of meanings in this context, and also that it is useful for various methodological and substantive reasons. These include the initial academic marginalisation of food studies itself, the slow acceptance of culinary texts as an object of academic study, as well as the ongoing drive to move food studies from the margins of Hispanic cultural studies. By refer- ence to the Author’s own research on Spanish culinary nationalism, this article also shows how the tension between centre and periphery is key to understanding Spanish food discourses of the past few centuries. This discussion hopes to show that the academy is increasingly paying attention to peripheral cultures and objects of study. Summary 1 Introduction. – 2 Food Studies: Transcending the Periphery. – 3 Spanish Food Culture and the Peripheral. Keywords Hispanic food studies. Spanish food studies. Culinary nationalism. Spanish cuisine. Spanish regionalisms. 1 Introduction Hispanic food studies is a most apt topic for any discussion of the periphery. Food studies, broadly speaking, has slowly moved from a peripheral position in the academy to one of prestige and popularity. If, however, food studies scholars have been alive to the food cultures and discourses of countries such as France, England and Italy, the Spanish-speaking world has only recently begun to receive this type of scholarly attention.1 Although academic inquiry into the food cultures of the Spanish world is relatively new, journalistic dis- cussions about the nature of Spanish cuisine date back to the late nineteenth century.

    İNGİLİZ-YUNAN İLİŞKİLERİ BAĞLAMINDA 19. YÜZYILDA GUNBOAT DİPLOMASİ -Don Pacifico Örneğinde- SONGÜL ÇOLAK* - METİN AYDAR** Giriş İnsanlık tarihi boyunca diplomasi, toplumlar arası münasebetlerin ortaya çık- masında ve icra edilmesinde her zaman önem arz etmiştir. Zira her devlet, milli menfaatlerine uygun olarak tasarladığı dış politika amaçlarını harekete geçirmek için diplomasiye başvurmak zorunda kalmış ve kalmaktadır. Bir kavram olarak diplomasi, Antik Yunan’da devlete ait resmi belgelerin muhafaza edilmesini, dü- zenlenmesini, diğer devletler ile gerçekleştirilen antlaşmaların aydınlığa kavuştu- rulmasını ve tüm bunları icra eden bürokratik işleyişi ifade eder. Bu terimin belli temsilciler vasıtasıyla uluslararası ilişkilerin yürütülmesini ihtiva eden yeni bir an- lama kavuşması ise uzun bir sürecin sonunda gerçekleşmiştir1. Ortaya çıktığı ilk dönemlerden günümüze değin bir aracı konumuna sahip olması nedeniyle diplo- masi, bir devlet için dış politikanın vazgeçilmez unsurlarından biri olmuştur. Bu bağlamda siyasi bir gücün temsilcisi durumunda olan yönetimler, ilk olarak milli menfaatlerini düşünmekte ve amaçlarını buna göre kararlaştırmaktadırlar. Diplomasi uzmanları, diplomatik uygulamaların geçmişini çok eski tarihle- re götürmekle beraber, bir kavram olarak diplomasinin, 18. yüzyılın sonlarında kullanılmaya başlandığını ileri sürmektedirler2.

    Clyde Binfield Body, Mind, Spirit and Civic Engagement too? Body, Mind, Spirit – and Civic Engagement too? I Introduction: Civis Romanus Sum [Note: This talk was given to a group of American YMCA leaders at London’s ExCel Centre during YMCA175, 6 August, 2019] I am told that I have forty minutes, if I am to leave time for questions or discussion. You are here under the impression that this is a space for History. First, however, you need to know where I stand and then how I plan to make what I say fit the title that I have given you. Where do I stand? Let me introduce you to a great, if now inevitably forgotten historian. Edward Hallett Carr’s fascination with History began in the British Foreign Office. As a young man, still in his late twenties, he was at the Paris Peace Conference, a backroom boy engaged in drafting the Treaty of Versailles which concluded the Great War and in so doing prepared the ground for another great war. You could not be more engaged than that and for the next twenty years he rose in the ranks of the British Foreign Office, a classicist turned historian whose books initiated the science of international politics. He had a mounting fascination with Russia. He was too good a historian to be a Marxist historian but he was a Marxist nonetheless. He left the Foreign Office for academic life and there his monumental achievement was a fourteen-volume history of Soviet Russia. He was, I think, not so much convinced as gripped by Soviet ideology.

  • Anglophiles in Balkan Christian States (1862–1920)*
    Slobodan G. Markovich DOI:10.2298/BALC0940093M Original scholarly work School of Political Sciences University of Belgrade Anglophiles in Balkan Christian States (1862–1920)* Abstract: The life stories of five Balkan Anglophiles emerging in the nineteenth century — two Serbs, Vladimir Jovanović (Yovanovich) and Čedomilj Mijatović (Chedomille Mijatovich); two Greeks, Ioannes ( John) Gennadios and Eleutherios Venizelos; and one Bulgarian, Ivan Evstratiev Geshov — reflect, each in its own way, major episodes in relations between Britain and three Balkan Christian states (Serbia, the Hellenic Kingdom and Bulgaria) between the 1860s and 1920. Their education, cultural pat- terns, relations and models inspired by Britain are looked at, showing that they acted as intermediaries between British culture and their own and played a part in the best and worst moments in the history of mutual relations, such as the Serbian-Ottoman crisis of 1862, the Anglo-Hellenic crisis following the Dilessi murders, Bulgarian atrocities and the Eastern Crisis, unification of Bulgaria and the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885, the Balkan Wars 1912–13, the National Schism in Greece. Their biog- raphies are therefore essential for understanding Anglo-Balkan relations in the pe- riod under study. The roles of two British Balkanophiles (a Bulgarophile, James David Bourchier, and a Hellenophile, Ronald Burrows) are looked at as well. In conclusion, a comparison of the Balkan Anglophiles is offered, and their Britain-inspired cultural and institutional legacy to their countries is shown in the form of a table. Keywords: Anglo-Balkan relations, Balkan Anglophiles, Balkans, Serbia, Hellenic Kingdom, Bulgaria, British Balkanophiles ccording to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word Anglophilia first appeared in 1896 meaning “unusual admiration or partiality for England,A English ways, or things English”.

  • Modern Greece and the Sephardim of Salonica an Overview
    MODERN GREECE AND THE SEPHARDIM OF SALONICA AN OVERVIEW ALBERT de VIDAS The largest concentration of Sephardic Jews in modern Greece after the conclusion of the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 was in the city of Salonica. By their numbers, they dwarfed the other Jewish communities in Greece. The city, however, was not the only place where Jews and Greeks would interact in contemporary times. That would actually start with the birth of the country. In Septernber 1821, the Greek insurgents led by Colocostronis, entered the city of Tripoli in the Morea. There a large civilian refugee popıllation of some 30,000 people had gathered to escape the rebels in other parts of the peninsula. Among them were some 5,000 to 8,000 Jews- Sepharadis and Romaniotes'. When the Greeks entering the town gave vent to their thirst for blood, less than a third of the inhabitants were able to survive. According to the I The Jewish world is divided into 3 major ethnic and cultural components and a few lesser °nes. The Sepharadis are the Western European Jews, the descendants of the exiled from the Iberian Peninsula, that were forced to leave the area starting in 1492. The vast majority of those Spanish speaking Jews went to the Ottoman Empire and a few eventually found there way to Northern Morocco, Central Italy, South-Western France, the Netherlands, England and the American colonies of the last three. Today, the Sephardic nation is one of the smallest components of the 3 major divisions of the Jewish world, about 500,000 worldwide, with 300,000 of them in Israel and about 100,000 in the United States.
