Call for papers: Passages from Ancient to Medieval and Early Modern Societies IX, ’Violence, War, and Suffering. Tampere University, 12-15 August 2025

The Passages conference series (since 2003) has focused on society and the history of everyday life in the premodern world. Our aim is to bring together scholars from diverse fields to study longer term historical continuities and changes between the classical, medieval, and early modern worlds.

The next conference focuses on the emotions and suffering associated with violence. The aim is to understand what kinds of emotional and affective responses, and experiences violence and war cause in individuals, families, and other communities. While premodern violence as such has been studied from various viewpoints, we encourage perspectives considering comparisons between eras and cultures. Emotions, experiences, and everyday life provides novel viewpoints to approach these themes. The conference combines the latest research on emotions and experience with social and cultural historical approaches to the ancient, medieval, and early modern world.

69th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale: ’Politics, Peoples, and Polities in the Ancient Near East’. July 8-12, 2024, University of Helsinki

Registration closes on 15 June.

The theme of the 69th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale is “Politics, Peoples, and Polities in the Ancient Near East.

Human social organization is complex and diverse. It involves the development of systems for decision-making in groups (politics), the articulation of collective identities (peoples), and the establishment of mechanisms for the regulation, distribution, and management of goods, property, and people (polities). The ancient Near East offers an immensely rich record of different forms of social organization, from mercantile city-states and expansionist empires to mobile pastoralist confederations and assorted collections of outlaws, with everything in between. Over thousands of years and in varied geographic and ecological settings, these social forms underwent constant processes of reform, renegotiation, and reinvention.
