From polyglossia to polyethnia: Culture, Ethnicity and Identity on Medieval Mount Athos

The Second Workshop for the ERC Starting Grant “Mount Athos in Medieval Eastern Mediterranean Society: Contextualizing the History of a Monastic Republic (ca. 850 1550)”

The participants in this second MAMEMS workshop will explore questions of cultural and ethnic identity on medieval Mount Athos. Of particular importance will be discussing ways of moving beyond traditional discussions of “national” identity on the Holy Mountain, and how more recent scholarship on ethnicity in the Middle Ages might inform the Athonite context.

The workshop will be held in a “hybrid” format, with both in person and digital participation via Zoom. Those interested in attending the workshop should send an e-mail to mamems(at)uni mainz.de by March 15th, 2022.
