Studying history helps us gain a more nuanced understanding of the world we live in today. Our knowledge and interpretation of history shape how we define ourselves as nations and as cultures, and it influences how we see and interact with other cultures. We help people across the globe gain a deeper, fundamental knowledge of our interconnected human past in order to create curious, open-minded, and tolerant societies in the future.

Arqueología y Territorio: Revista del Programa de Doctorado "Arqueología y Territorio"
ISSN: 1698-5664
http://www.ugr.es/~arqueologyterritorio/Imagenes/caratula.jpg
La revista electrónica “Arqueología y Territorio” surge como un servicio para todos aquellos alumnos de Tercer Ciclo que se están iniciando en la investigación y cuya primera aportación a nuestra disciplina suele ser su Trabajo de Investigación de Doctorado (antigua Memoria de Licenciatura). Este trabajo en muchos casos representa casi todo un curso de trabajo y esfuerzo y con frecuencia queda inédito, debido a las dificultades para publicar el primer trabajo de investigación. Lo más normal es que este primer trabajo se convierta en un capítulo de la Tesis en el caso de aquellos que deciden continuar con sus estudios de doctorado o bien se olvida y queda como recuerdo de nuestro paso por una facultad o un departamento.

Nuestra intención al ofrecer este medio de publicación es incentivar el trabajo serio y científico que se tiene que realizar en la elaboración de los trabajos de doctorado, facilitando al alumno la publicación de sus resultados. De la seriedad de los trabajos publicados dan fe los filtros que hemos colocado hasta que el trabajo llegue a la red. En primer lugar, el tutor del alumno debe de haber dirigido seria y responsablemente el trabajo de investigación, que además será juzgado por un tribunal de tres profesores. La síntesis realizada de ese trabajo es revisada y corregida por un equipo de redacción exigente formado por especialistas en los tres itinerarios que tiene nuestro programa de doctorado: arqueología prehistórica, clásica y medieval.

El número 1 de nuestra revista sólo recogía trabajos de investigación realizados por los doctorandos de nuestro programa de Tercer Ciclo. A partir del segundo número incorpora trabajos diversos de jóvenes investigadores bien de nuestro Departamento o de otras Universidades, que pueden presentarse siempre que cumplan los requisitos señalados en las normas de publicación.

Thersites: Journal for Transcultural Presences & Diachronic Identities from Antiquity to Date
ISSN: 2364-7612
http://www.thersites.uni-mainz.de/public/journals/1/homeHeaderTitleImage_de_DE.png
thersites is an international open access journal for innovative transdisciplinary classical studies founded in 2014 by Christine Walde, Filippo Carlà and Christian Stoffel.
  • thersites expands classical reception studies by reflecting on Greco-Roman antiquity as present phenomenon and diachronic culture that is part of today’s transcultural and highly diverse world. Antiquity, in our understanding, does not merely belong to the past, but is always experienced and engaged in the present.
     
  • thersites contributes to the critical review on methods, theories, approaches and subjects in classical scholarship, which currently seems to be awkwardly divided between traditional perspectives and cultural turns.
     
  • thersites brings together scholars, writers, essayists, artists and all kinds of agents in the culture industry to get a better understanding of how antiquity constitutes a part of today’s culture and (trans-)forms our present.

Collection de l'Institut des Sciences et Techniques de l'Antiquité
thumbnail
L’Institut des Sciences et Techniques de l’Antiquité est une équipe de recherche fondée en 1967 et basée à l’université de Franche-Comté. Dès son origine, sous le nom de Centre d’Histoire Ancienne (CHA), cette équipe s’est appliquée à diffuser les productions scientifiques dans le domaine de l’Antiquité, tout d’abord à travers la publication d’une collection, puis à l’aide d’une revue, les Dialogues d’Histoire ancienne, fondée en 1974.
Les premiers ouvrages sont parus à partir de 1959, aux Annales Littéraires de l’Université de Besançon. Cette série s’est ensuite enrichie par les travaux sur l’esclavage et l’affranchissement qui donnèrent naissance au GIREA (Groupe International de Recherche sur l’Esclavage dans l’Antiquité). Enfin, la « collection ISTA » dans sa forme actuelle est née de la fusion des séries du Centre d’histoire ancienne de Besançon et de l’Institut Félix Gafiot.

Aujourd’hui, la collection ISTA publie les travaux pluridisciplinaires de chercheurs français et internationaux sous la forme de monographies, d’ouvrages collectifs ou d’édition de sources, ainsi que sa revue et ses suppléments DHA.

Lingue antiche e moderne
ISSN: 2281-4841
 http://all.uniud.it/lam/lamrep/lam.jpg
La nuova rivista “Lingue antiche e moderne” intende aprire un luogo di incontro e riflessione privilegiato per filologi classici e filologi moderni, nello spirito di collaborazione e partnership tra realtà culturali diverse che caratterizza l’Associazione dei Laureati in Lingue dell’Università di Udine, ateneo che fin dalle origini ha sempre valorizzato la presenza dell’insegnamento della lingua e letteratura latina nel corso di laurea in Lingue. L’iniziativa scientifica si segnala per la sua assoluta originalità, in opposizione al clima culturale contemporaneo, che tende invece a favorire la chiusura specialistica tra le varie discipline.

Particolarmente auspicati dalla rivista saranno perciò i contributi volti a indagare come le lingue antiche hanno continuato ad essere vitali e operanti all’interno della modernità, dall’Umanesimo al Classicismo, divenendo così anch’esse, a pieno titolo, lingue dei moderni. Ma in generale, la rivista sarà aperta alle più ampie problematiche della ricerca linguistica e filologica nei settori delle lingue antiche e delle lingue moderne.


Una prospettiva privilegiata sarà infine quella della didattica, partendo dal dato di fatto che il latino è da sempre in Europa la lingua della scuola e dell’università. Soprattutto verrà posta l’attenzione sul modo in cui le teorie linguistiche moderne continuano a confrontarsi con l’analisi delle lingue antiche. Grazie alla sua facile accessibilità gratuita on-line, la rivista si proporrà come ponte tra il mondo accademico e il mondo della scuola, nell’auspicio che la ricerca scientifica possa avere delle applicazioni pratiche nell’ambito dell’insegnamento.


The new Journal Lingue antiche e moderne aims to create a virtual meeting place of discussion for classical and modern linguists and philologists to promote the spirit of collaboration and partnership among different languages and cultures, the main tenet of the Association of Language Graduates (Associazione dei Laureati in Lingue) of the University of Udine (Italy). From the very beginning, the University of Udine has always valued the Latin language and literature offering courses in the curricula of the undergraduate and post-graduate  degrees in Foreign Languages and Literatures.

This Journal is a unique and original scientific initiative because it aims to overcome the current tendency towards divisive specialization among disciplines.

In particular, the Journal welcomes submissions which investigate how classical languages are still essential and have been highly vital and influential throughout our modern world, from Humanism to Classicism, thus becoming the languages of the Modern world. A privileged focus will be given to language teaching and learning, since in Europe Latin has always been the language par excellence in schools and universities. More specifically, the Journal will focus on how present-day language theories influence the analysis of ancient and classical languages and are influenced by it.

We hope that, thanks to its aims, scope and free on-line access, the Journal will represent a link between the world of school education and academia and will actively promote the connection between scientific research and language teaching.

silva rhetoricae: The Forest of Rhetoric

silva rhetoricae: The Forest of Rhetoric
Silva Rhetoricae
This online rhetoric, provided by Dr. Gideon Burton of Brigham Young University, is a guide to the terms of classical and renaissance rhetoric. Sometimes it is difficult to see the forest (the big picture) of rhetoric because of the trees (the hundreds of Greek and Latin terms naming figures of speech, etc.) within rhetoric. 

This site is intended to help beginners, as well as experts, make sense of rhetoric, both on the small scale (definitions and examples of specific terms) and on the large scale (the purposes of rhetoric, the patterns into which it has fallen historically as it has been taught and practiced for 2000+ years).
A forest is the metaphor for this site. Like a forest, rhetoric provides tremendous resources for many purposes. However, one can easily become lost in a large, complex habitat (whether it be one of wood or of wit). The organization of this central page and the hyperlinks within individual pages should provide a map, a discernible trail, to lay hold of the utility and beauty of this language discipline.
Don't be scared of the intimidating detail suggested by the odd Greek and Latin terms. After all, you can enjoy the simple beauty of a birch tree without knowing it is Betula alba and make use of the shade of a weeping willow without knowing it is in fact Salix babylonica. The same is possible with rhetoric. The names aid categorization and are more or less conventional, but I encourage you to get past the sesquipedalian labels and observe the examples and the sample criticism (rhetoric in practice). It is beyond the definitions that the power of rhetoric is made apparent. 

Your input (contributions of examples, explanations, links, and bibliography, or your clarifications and corrections) is heartily welcomed.

Studia Rhetorica Biblica et Semitica
Our online journal Studia Rhetorica Biblica et Semitica (StRBS) offers scholars the opportunity of publishing textual studies conducted according to the procedures of biblical and Semitic rhetorical analysis, as well as research on the rules of this specific rhetoric.

The texts to be studied are above all biblical ones, both those of the Hebrew Bible written in Semitic languages, Hebrew but also Aramaic, and the books of the New Testament redacted in Greek but by authors, who were so immersed in the scripture of Israel, that they composed their texts in the manner of the authors of the First Testament.

Other texts written in Semitic languages may be studied in the same way, in particular that of the Qur’an.

Moreover, texts written in non-Semitic languages, which may be seen to have been composed according to the rules of biblical rhetoric, e.g. the Rule of St. Benedict in Latin or the Pensées of Pascal in French, may be considered to resemble in some way the texts of the New Testament authors.

For the authors, the advantage of this type of publication is that their studies can be up-dated at any time.

For the reader, the advantage is that the documents may be saved on disk.

In the case of studies already printed, the Copyright obviously belongs to the publisher; in other cases, it belongs to Studia Rhetorica Biblica et Semitica.

eTRAP: Electronic Text Reuse Acquisition Project
http://etrap.gcdh.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/cropped-eTrap-logo-1.png


eTRAP (electronic Text Reuse Acquisition Project) is an Early Career Research Group funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The research group, starting on 1st March 2015, was awarded 1.6 million and runs for four years, supporting four full-time researchers and eight student assistants.

As the name suggests, this interdisciplinary team studies the linguistic and literary phenomenon that is text re-use with a particular focus on historical languages. More specifically, we look at how ancient authors copied, alluded to, paraphrased and translated each other as they spread their knowledge in writing. This early career research group seeks to provide a basic understanding of the historical text re-use methodology (it being distinct from plagiarism), and so to study what defines text re-use, why some people re-use information, how text is re-used and how this practice has changed over history. We’ll be investigating text re-use on big data or, in other words, datasets that, owing to their size, cannot be manually processed. The languages we’ll be working with are Ancient Greek, German, English, Italian and Latin. This research touches upon the fields of Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics, Digital Humanities, Classics, History, Theology and Philology but has also ramifications in Text Visualisation, Manuscript Studies and Bioinformatics, to mention but a few.

Archetype
Archetype (formely known as 'The DigiPal Framework') is freely-available generalised software for the online presentation of images with structured annotations and data which allows users to search for, view, and organise detailed characteristics of handwriting or other material in both verbal and visual form. Designed primarily for the palaeographical analysis of handwriting, it was first developed for the Digital Resource and Database for Palaeography, Manuscript Studies and Diplomatic (DigiPal) project, funded by the European Research Council, and has since been extended particularly through the Models of Authority and Exon Domesday projects. Examples of its use include the following:
The DigiPal Project formally ended on 30 September 2014, but the code is still being updated and extended as part of the follow-on projects listed above.

For further information on using the framework please see the GitHub Wiki pages.

Welcome to “Greek Law in Roman Times”. This computerized Databank provides electronic access to some 6000 legal documents from Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times, mostly from Egypt.
These documents and their classifications provide invaluable information concerning the development of law and legal practices from the Ptolemaic to Byzantine period. It also provides information about social and economic issues, such as the value of land in ancient society, the extent of economic independence of women, the circulation of cash-money, how the parties’ age affected the nature and scope of their economic activity etc. GLRT enables users to pinpoint correlations between the various recorded factors. Thus it provides a critical and heretofore-absent tool that enables scholars to discern patterns among the wealth of documents.
The databank classifies each document by its date and provenance, structure, language and other details regarding the parties to the contract and the content of the transaction. The databank contains a link to the text as it appears in the “Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri” as well as to the “Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis”. The DDBDP text can be viewed in a small window to the right of the structural synopsis of the document (i.e., ”Clauses”) or as a separate window by following the direct link provided (‘Link to External Databanks’).

ASOR’s Cultural Heritage Initiatives Monthly Reports
http://www.asor-syrianheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/CHI-Logo-Banner.jpg
ASOR’s Cultural Heritage Initiatives is a cooperative agreement between ASOR and the U.S. Department of State that is designed to document, protect, and preserve the cultural heritage of war-torn Syria and northern Iraq. Hundreds of significant heritage sites have been damaged since fighting began in 2011. Although the destruction of cultural property represents only part of the humanitarian crisis, these harmful actions threaten our common world heritage and the cultural diversity of the people in Syria and northern Iraq. We have an ethical obligation to respond, and our project is part of an international effort to work with Syrians to protect their heritage and cultural identity

Updates to The Prosopography of the Neo-Assyrian Empire
Since the first fascicle of PNA was published in 1998, new editions of Neo-Assyrian texts have been published and study of the existing material has progressed. Inevitably there are a fair number of new names, as well as new attestations of previously known names, to be added to the corpus. In some cases the readings of names already published in PNA have to be revised; similarly, the biographical details for certain individuals can be updated in the light of recent research. These developments reflect a healthy interest in and engagement with the field of Neo-Assyrian studies, of course, but they make it quite difficult to keep a printed Prosopography up-to-date. To this end, I have been compiling a database of addenda and corrigenda to PNA.
The provisional list made available here represents the material processed so far in the course of collecting updates. It contains skeleton entries, without full biographical details. Etymological interpretations are not included, and the names have not been reviewed by PNA's linguistic consultants. Please be aware that this is a work in progress; further entries will be added and existing entries may well be modified as editorial work progresses.
