Die Kollegforschungsgruppe "Migration und Mobilität in Spätantike und Frühmittelalter" bietet für das Jahr 2024 wieder Stipendien für ein- bis zwölfmonatige Forschungsaufenthalte in Tübingen an.

Im Rahmen der Kollegforschungsgruppe untersuchen Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Disziplinen das Phänomen von Migration und Mobilität im Mittelmeerraum und Europa im Zeitraum zwischen 250 und 900 n.Chr. Ihr Ziel ist es, die intensive Forschungsdebatte über dieses epochenprägende Phänomen neu zu strukturieren, indem sie innovative Zugänge, Methoden, Fragestellungen und Erklärungen erprobt. Für weitere Informationen, siehe hier.

Die Stipendien ermöglichen Forschungsaufenthalte zu Migration und Mobilität in Europa und dem Mittelmeerraum zwischen 250 und 900 n.Chr. für alle promovierten Wissenschaftler*innen mit eigenständigem Forschungsprofil aus relevanten Fächern (Alte oder Mittelalterliche Geschichte, Byzantinistik, Archäologie, Altphilologie und Regionalstudien) sowie von Forscher*innen, die Migrations- und Mobilitätsphänomene in der Moderne erforschern, sofern ihr Forschungsprojekt einen starken theoretischen und methodischen Fokus zeigt. (Englisch-Kenntnisse sind Voraussetzung!)

Die Stipendiat*innen müssen sich für die Dauer des geförderten Forschungsprojekts in Tübingen aufhalten und an den dort stattfindenden Kolloquien, Tagungen und Workshops teilnehmen. Während ihres Aufenthalts erhalten sie ein Stipendium entsprechend den Regelungen der Universität Tübingen und der DFG, sowie eine Erstattung ihrer Reisekosten.

Steffen Patzold (Tübingen)

The conference will be organised by Ekaterina Nechaeva and Alexander Sarantis as a part of the research activities of the DFG (German Research Foundation) Centre for Advanced Studies Project on Migration and Mobility in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages Project (Directors: Mischa Meier, Steffen Patzold and Sebastian Schmidt-Hofner).

While studies of cross-frontier migration in Late Antiquity tend to focus on the northern Rhine and Danube frontiers, the Roman-Persian frontier, running from the Transcaucasian Black Sea coast to the Syrian Desert, also witnessed regular population movements. Whereas the former concentrate mainly on the long-term migration into the empire of groups of ‘barbarians’, recent social scientific models include a greater variety of types of migration and mobility which can be applied to more flexible discussions of this topic in Late Antiquity. Indeed, where the Near Eastern Roman-Persian frontier was concerned, a wide array of population movements took place, into as well as out of the Eastern Roman empire. Some of these movements could be temporary (whether recurrent or not), others permanent, some voluntary, others involuntary (including forced/coerced migration), some sponsored or controlled by the state, others driven by migrants’ aims. Involving large communities, smaller groups, or individuals, this mobility could result from political, cultural or economic contexts. Studying these various types of migration and mobility can in turn provide multiple insights into socio-economic and political conditions and cultural trends in the Roman and Sasanian Persian empires, in particular, in communities on both sides of the frontier in the Near East. It will also offer a fresh perspective on Roman-Sasanian Persian political relations.

Beschreibung:

Byzantine cities in North Africa are not only a matter of fortifications. In this presentation I aim to focus on both a daily life and environmental aspect of ancient urban civilizations, the cities water resources and supply. Specifically, my study focuses on the elaboration of new strategies and adaptation of infrastructures in the field of hydraulics at the end of Antiquity, while the implementation of aqueducts and water network in the Early Roman Empire has long been the main point of attention. How did the Byzantines managed to ensure water supply in cities inside and outside fortifications? Were water availability and infrastructures decisive elements for implementing urban walls? To what extent the renaissance of the classical city claimed by Justinian politics was a matter of hydraulics? On the basis of my doctoral researches on fountains and hydraulic network in Roman North African cities, I would like to raise several questions concerning the continuity of traditional classical water supply by spring and aqueduct, usually considered nonfunctional in the Late Antique period while inscriptions claimed hydraulic structures to have been restored.
