The University of Salerno has announced theOrganization of an academic event: the International Conference “Unconventional views on the ancient world“. It will take place on 13 and 14 June at the Southern Apennines Observatory. The aim of the conference is to challenge traditional conceptions and to explore new perspectives on the ancient world.
The conference will address complex issues such as the relationship between oikos (the home, the family) and polis (the city-state), the reflection on the conflict seen through the lens of Nicole Loraux's studies, and the analysis of the role and place of the other in society. These topics will be covered by eminent scholars from various universities, both Italian and international.
