“GlobalMed – La Méditerranée et le monde de la Préhistoire à nos jours – Approches interdisciplinaire et internationale” est un réseau de recherche international coordonné par la Maison Méditerranéenne des Sciences de l’Homme (MMSH). ISSN 2268-5278
La réunion de partenaires situés sur tous les continents permettra un réel travail de réflexion sur ce que représente la Méditerranée d’un point de vue disciplinaire et culturel lorsqu’on la regarde à plusieurs milliers de kilomètres ou le nez contre la vitre. En partant de l’idée que l’espace méditerranéen est un espace construit n’obéissant pas uniquement à une délimitation naturelle au sens strict, il s’avère d’autant plus nécessaire de favoriser cet échange dans le but de dégager des éléments de définition probants à travers une approche plurielle.
Faire converger de multiples initiatives qui abordent aujourd’hui la Méditerranée, espace multiple, dans une perspective connectée et globale, permettrait d’en approfondir la connaissance tout en réévaluant sa place dans l’histoire mondiale.

GlobalMed Séminaire de recherche hybride: “Impérialismes” 16/05/2025

by

The second session of the GlobalMed network research seminar will be held on 16 May 2025 at the École française d’Athènes, starting at 14:30 EEST (Eastern European Summer Time). Organised in hybrid format, it is accessible by videoconference upon registration (see link or QR Code on the attached programme).

This session, co-organised with the École française d’Athènes and the University of Macedonia, will focus on the theme of ‘Imperialism’.

The aim of this session is to take account of the historiographical and epistemological dynamism surrounding the notions of empire and imperialism, and its effects on Mediterranean studies. By examining situations spread over the long term, whether they place the Mediterranean in relation to the rest of the world or call for comparisons between the Mediterranean and other areas, we will address the dual question of the universal nature of the notions of empire and imperialism (are their definitions valid in all times and places?) and the reasons for their mobilization in certain situations and under certain conditions in the production of knowledge about history and societies. We will also examine the relationship between the notions of empire and imperialism and other categories (kingdom, nation and nationalism, capitalism, colonies and colonialism), and question the discrepancy – where tension does not exclude porosity – between their use as descriptive or analytical categories on the one hand, and as categories of political action on the other.

You are cordially invited to attend and take part in the debates.

The Culture-Borders-Gender/Lab, of the Department of Balkan, Slavic and Oriental Studies of the University of Macedonia, as a member of the GlobalMed network, participates in the organization of the first doctoral workshop of the GlobalMed network “Did you say global? Objects, Methods and Limits of the Global Approach in Mediterranean Studies” to be held at the MMSH (Aix-en-Provence) and the Mucem (Marseille) from November 18 to 22, 2024.
This workshop, organized in collaboration with Mucem, is aimed at doctoral candidates and young postdoctoral researchers from the GlobalMed partner research teams.  Candidates from all disciplines should demonstrate an interest in the global approach as part of their doctoral or post-doctoral research topic.

The goals of the workshop are to provide participants with:

  • An in-depth look at the concept of “global”: history of the concept and issues of scale, epistemological issues, major publications/works, implementation of interdisciplinarity,
  • A reflection on the objects of study of the global approach and the methods and concepts mobilized in their respective fields of research and in other disciplines,
  • A reflection on the limits and critiques of the global approach.

Details of the call for proposals can be found in the attached document.

The deadline for applications is June 28, 2024, and applications should be sent to the e-mail address: maria-jose.jarrin-yanez@univ-amu.fr
