Representation of Whom? Ancient Moments of Seeking Refuge and Protection
Within the ancient corpus we find depictions of people seeking refuge and protection: in works of fiction, drama and poetry; on wall paintings and vases, they cluster at protective altars and cling to statues of gods who seemingly look on. Yet the ancient evidence does not lend itself easily to exploring attitudes to refugees or asylum seekers. Hence, the question that begins this investigation is, representation of whom? Through a focus on the G…
On Displacement and the Humanities—An Introduction
When we conceived of the volume, Displacement and the Humanities: Manifestos from the Ancient to the Present, six years ago, important and urgent studies on the subject of migration had increased substantially over the past decade in response to what has been termed the ‘migration crisis’ [...]
Hospitality and Knowledge
Recent science studies emphasize that knowledge is generated through transit and encounters. If so, knowledge production depends on forms and dynamics of hosting and hospitality. We suggest hospitability is a crucial factor shaping intercultural knowledge creation and transfer. Using results from a research project on Carl Linnaeus's Laplandic Journey , we address the relationship between hospitability and knowledge construction. While in later r…
Ancient Wandering and Permanent Temporariness
To move towards an understanding of displacement from within, and the forms of its overcoming, the following chapter brings into dialogue the ancient experience of wandering and the 21st century condition of permanent temporariness. It explores whether these are the same or different phenomena, and whether the latter is a uniquely modern experience. In particular, it is interested in the turning points that lead to the defiance of the condition a…
The Sky Is Hidden”
The article comprises a series of microessays, initially troped around three artworks by Cildo Mereiles, Rene Magritte, and Georges Perec. Each serves to problematize the links between geographical landscapes and entities as abstract and historically recent as nation-states. These essays are numbered in the fashion of bureaucratic documents (either processed or awaiting decision). Interspersed through them are photographic images of dilapidated a…
Hospitality
This article provides a historical perspective to understand better whether hospitality persists as a measure of society across contexts. Focusing on Homer and later Tragedians, it charts ancient literature's deep interest in the tensions of balancing obligations to provide hospitality and asylum, and the responsibilities of well-being owed to host-citizens by their leaders. Such discourse appears central at key transformative moments, such as th…
Migration, Mobility and Place in Ancient Italy
Between hospitality and asylum
This article aims at positioning the agency of the displaced within the longue durée, as it is exposed in contexts of hospitality and asylum, by articulating its key modes: contingent, willed and compelled. Using the ancient world as its starting point, the article exposes the duplicity in conceiving of the current condition of displacement as transient or exceptional. As such, it argues for the urgent need of a shift in the perception of displac…

Globalisation and the Roman World
This book explores a new perspective for understanding the Roman world, using connectivity as a major point of departure. Globalisation is apparent in increased flows of objects, people and ideas and in the creation of translocal consciousness in everyday life. Based on these criteria, there is a case for globalisation in the ancient Roman world. Essential for anyone interested in Romanisation, this volume provides the first sustained critical ex…
Unruly Youth? The Myth of Generation Conflict in Late Republican Rome
Ancient Umbria
Archaeology ≠ object as history ≠ text
While interdisciplinarity may be an admirable goal many still doubt its benefits. The paper seeks to articulate the methods used to work across disciplines and considers the obstacles that stand in the way of inter- rather than multi-disciplinarity. Sauer's volume is used as a starting point to highlight key concerns in integrating archaeology and ancient history: the assumption that disciplines are determined by evidence type; the encouragement …
