5th Annual Edinburgh Late Antique, Islamic and Byzantine Studies Graduate Conference 2021 Sites of Encounter and Cultural Exchange (500-1500 CE) Sites of encounter and cultural exchange are crucial to the construction of meaningful narratives concerning the Mediterranean and West Asian past. These sites have at times been excluded from wider historiographical narratives which seek to centre them within the nation-state; such narratives exclude the marginalised and serve to other anything deemed syncretic or alien. Scholarship has, in the last half century, acquired a new-found appreciation for the history of cultural exchange, and the spaces – be they physical, textual, or imagined – where such interpersonal and intercultural contact occurs. This conference aims to bring together these multifarious ‘sites of encounter’ in order to gain a more complex understanding of the Mediterranean and West Asia in the period between 500 and 1500 C.E. The conference will be held online on Zoom. Conference Organising Committee Samuel Azzopardi, Chiara Fabrici, Alice Greenwood, Kieran Hagan, Stefano Nicastro, Ethan Schmidt Registration To register please follow the link bellow and register for a ticket on the Eventbrite page.
