http://www.artes.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de The EGSAMP Summer School 2016 is organized in connection with the chair of philosophy (Milan Dordevic) of the Saint Clement of Ohrid Faculty of Orthodox Theology of the The Saints Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje in a guest house of the university at the most beautiful Lake Ohrid, which counts among the UNESCO Cultural as well as Natural World Heritage Sites (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/99).
The summer school’s topic “Locality and cross-border exchange in the Middle ages” reflects upon the actual socio-political issues concerning Macedonia (the immigrant issue, the border-building, “defending” Europe etc.), even if the thematic focus of the summer school remains medieval. The topic will be developed by distinguished invited speakers.
Moreover, PhD students and Postdoc fellows are invited to present their PhD and research projects – preferably in connection with the general theme. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their ongoing research, enhance their competence in the various fields of editing and analysing philosophical texts and get helpful feedback regarding their projects by internationally renowned scholars.
Possible topics for presentations:
Borders: mental isolation – enemies and friends – otherness – distractions – oppositions – ethics Exchange: libraries – translations and interpretations – self-rediscovering – fermenting –conversions – dialogues
Weekend workshops:
Workshops will be organized during the weekend. There are already several suggestions (e.g. A Lexicon of Byzantine Philosophical Terms; Greek into Arabic into Latin: the influence of the Arabic; parallel text readings e.g. on Aristotle, De anima)
