Today, there is a growing interest in exploring the diversity to which Mediterranean cities have been host to over the centuries. This common heritage of diversity distinguishes Mediterranean cities as well as providing them with a solid basis for strengthening their ties in order to build a better common future. In the fourth of the colloquium entitled "Mersin in History", 20-22 October 2011, Mersin in a venue where antiquity coexists with the contemporary in its utmost complexity that defies characterization as simply modern, we thus choose as our theme and subtitle "Antiquity as Future?" in order to take a further step in this direction.
The main themes for the colloquium are:
Archaeology and the Mediterranean World
Human Material at Work: Communities and Merchant Families in Daily Life
Networks and Routes of Faith and/or Commerce
Architectural Diversity and the Built Environment of the Future (invited speakers only)
We invite submissions from fields as disparate as, but not restricted to, archaeology, architecture, history, social sciences and urban studies so long as they pertain to the above specified themes. The deadline for abstract submissions is April 15, 2011. Full papers are expected by August 31, 2011. We expect to publish a post-conference final publication. You can look at attached file for further information.
