Cultures and Classics

"The anthropological approach of ancient cultures has always contributed to the vitality of classics. A study of ancient societies open to their comparison on the one hand, and to their understanding in their multiple, interconnected aspects, on the other, provides an exciting alternative to hyperspecialised expertise. This site will make available information about any kind of individual and institutional initiative related to such an approach, conferences, seminars and courses taught in various universities and centers in Europe and in the USA, research projects, dissertation topics, jobs opportunities etc. It will host debates on pertinent themes, e. g. Why anthropology? It will precirculate unpublished material and re-circulate in thematic collections pieces that can be founded scattered in book and journals."
