CALL:

We at the Young Researchers in Ancient History are pleased to announce a new edition of the Meeting of Young Researchers in Ancient History (EJIHA), which will be held at the Faculty of Geography and History of the Complutense University of Madrid on 5, 6 and 7 May 2021. Once again, thanks to the support of the Faculty of Geography and History and the Department of Prehistory, Ancient History and Archaeology of the Complutense University of Madrid, we want to build a space for meeting and debate, for reflection and criticism, for friendships and meetings among young researchers devoted to Antiquity. As in previous editions, the meeting is divided into three round table sessions, three exhibition sessions and a poster session. The round tables, organised by former participants and organisers of the EJIHA, will analyse the last 20 years of historiography of Antiquity through three different and equally exciting themes. Each of the roundtable presentations is limited to 20 minutes. To participate in the round tables, please fill in the following form: https://forms.gle/x5V42Ru6aAS5D4vK7. ​ The exhibition session welcomes all researchers who wish to share with us the theoretical and methodological principles on which their thesis work is based. To this end, each of the participants in the exhibition section will have a maximum of 15 minutes. To participate in the exhibition sessions, it is necessary to fill in the following form: https://forms.gle/JiH8jjmMXKT9sHcu6. ​ There will also be a poster session, in which researchers who wish to do so will be able to share part of their work. The technical specifications of the posters and printing details can be consulted at the end of this Call for Papers. To participate in the poster session, it is necessary to fill in the following form: https://forms.gle/a6m4oVxxytHktbvb7. Only one proposal per person will be accepted, either for a round table, an exhibition session or a poster. Proposals may be submitted in Spanish, Portuguese, English or Italian. The deadline for submission of proposals is 15 February 2021. Proposals received after the deadline will be immediately rejected. Registration fees for participants will be 20€ for round tables and exhibitions, and 10€ per poster author. Payment, once the list of admitted participants has been published, will be made by means of a deposit or transfer to the account of the Meeting, stating the following details: name of the person making the deposit; concept: matrícula EJIHA 2021; Banco Caminos; SWIFT/BIC code: CCOCESMM; IBAN: ES10 0234 0001 0290 3278 9018. Once the payment has been made, a PDF with the bank receipt will be sent to JIHA's email: jovenes.investigadores.ucm@gmail.com. The organisation will also offer 4 scholarships consisting of an 80€ travel bag and exemption from registration fees. Those interested should communicate this on the proposal form. They will be assigned according to the CV and the place of origin. The interventions will have the opportunity to be published as articles in the digital magazine Antesteria. Ancient History Debates, as long as they pass the usual blind peer review process. Without further ado, we leave you with the information regarding the round tables and the posters. We look forward to your proposals! ​ The 'New Military History': Studies on Ancient Warfare in the 21st Century Moderator: Fernando Echeverría Rey (UCM) ​ Military history has been constantly renewed since the 1970s and 1980s, when the so-called "New Military History" appeared. The renewal made a definitive break with the traditional positivist nature of the discipline and opened up new paths to revitalise an area of study that had been abandoned and rejected by historians. Using methodologies from Anthropology and Sociology, the "New Military History" then turned war into a phenomenon capable of contributing decisively to political, religious, ideological, social and economic studies, and therefore of enlightening historical studies in general. Ancient warfare, perhaps less influenced than other fields of study by political scientists, geo-strategists or career military men, became one of the most fertile fields of research in the use of the new methodologies. Within this context, the present round table aims to: 1. Evaluate the recent contributions of military history to knowledge of the Ancient World; 2. To this end, the organisation invites proposals, based on personal research, focusing on one or more of the following topics: ​

• Theoretical contributions on the discipline of military history, its methodology and/or its approaches.

• Concrete applications of military history to the social, political and economic analysis of ancient societies.

• Interdisciplinary approaches to military history, from different disciplines (archaeology, philology, iconography...) or theoretical approaches (social history, history of religions, history of mentalities...).

• Analysis of the contexts (social, political, economic...) of war and their mutual interrelation (how the context conditions war and vice versa).

• Comparative studies of military phenomena in different societies, with analysis of their social, political and economic implications...

Proposals should include a 400-500-word summary detailing the objectives, approach and methodology of the intervention, as well as reference to any previous personal work that demonstrates dedication to that line of work.

It has also become one of the most debated issues today, affecting everything from education to heritage. Although subject to different circumstances, ancient memories were equally relevant and have also consolidated as an object of academic interest that we can approach through epigraphy, archaeology and ancient literature. The path was opened more than twenty years ago by the work of J. Assmann Das kulturelle Gedächtnis, later translated into Italian, English and Spanish. It clearly showed the special characteristics of ancient memoirs, which were limited to a context of communication halfway between orality and writing. But the book does not exhaust the subject of study and, on the other hand, it has also been the subject of debate among classicists. For this reason, it is appropriate to propose a round table to advance the reflection. From this perspective, the present round table aims to: 1. Reconsider the characteristics of memory in ancient societies; 2. explore the existing documentation that contributes to the study of ancient memory; 3. reflect on the functioning of ancient memory and its relationship to religion, politics and identity. To this end, the organisation invites proposals, based on personal research, that fall into one or more of the following categories: ​

• Theoretical and methodological reflections on the study of memory in antiquity

• Comparative analyses between phenomena related to ancient memories belonging to different times and cultures.

• Studies on the oral and written communication contexts of ancient memories.

• Studies on the continuity, rupture and reconstruction of memory in antiquity.

• Studies on forgetting and damnatio memoriae in Antiquity.

• Studies on the links between memory and religion, politics and identity in ancient societies.

Proposals must include a 400-500-word summary detailing the objectives, approach and methodology of the intervention, as well as a basic bibliography of the research carried out.

From this perspective, in the last few decades hypotheses have been formulated which, through literary and epigraphic sources, allow a glimpse of the legal and institutional horizon of the peoples that Rome encountered on its arrival in the Peninsula. Not only the paleo-Hispanic inscriptions, but also those written in Latin and the testimonies of classical authors show that provincial societies often forged their intercommunity relations according to pre-Roman customs and traditions.
