10.01.2025 - 11.01.2025: TransPergMikro 2nd Milestone Workshop
Orient-Institut Istanbul Galip Dede Cad. No. 65 Şahkulu Mah., Beyoğlu 34421 Istanbul
“Social Metabolism and Historical Human-Environment Interaction: The Pergamon Micro-Region and Beyond“
Aims and direction: The 2nd milestone workshop of the interdisciplinary research project “The Transformation of the Pergamon Microregion between Hellenism and the Roman Imperial Period” (https://www.dainst.blog/transpergmikro/) will focus on the topic of social metabolism, i.e. the material and energy flows between natural space and society. Phenomena of social metabolism and its perception will be discussed for different areas such as nutrition, production, waste disposal, etc. The combination of speakers from the fields of archaeology, physical geography, building archaeology, classical philology, history, palaeoanthropology and social and economic geography is designed to ensure that the topic can be discussed on a broad theoretical and interdisciplinary basis. On the one hand, the results are to be incorporated into the further work of TransPergMikro in a formative way, on the other hand they are to initiate new collaborations and, above all, stimulate an even broader historical application of the concept of “social metabolism”. A roundtable discussion at the end provides the chance of a first critical reflection on the results of the workshop and on the second phase of TransPergMikro as presented in various papers, and will discuss some potential future directions.
It is intended to publish the results in the same format as the 1st TransPergMikro Milestone Workshop: publications.dainst.org/books/dai/catalog/book/2106
