With his book ‟The Clash of Civilizations”, published in 1996, Samuel P. Huntington started a very controversial debate about the possibility of conflicts between different cultural areas in the 21st century, especially between Western civilization and Chinese and Islamic cultures. The 15th Melammu Symposium in Graz puts this modern discussion into a completely different context by asking whether the label ‟Clash of civilizations” is suitable for the manifold relations between sedentary and non-sedentary groups in ancient cultures. There are four research-panels: (1) Entanglement and interactions, (2) Conflicts, (3) Mobile groups and state formation and (4) Religious interactions.
The call for paper can be found here.
The symposium program can be found here.
