Blog Info




is an e-portal created in the context of the research project "Ideologies under scrutiny: Differentiated perceptions of Roman imperial ideals in Byzantine society (7th-12th c.)"  that was financed by the Austrian Science Fund (Project-no. P24752) and was hosted at the University of Vienna between 2012 and 2015. Its aim is to promote the exchange of scholarly knowledge and comparative work on the project's research subjects.

Apart from providing information on the activities and results of the project, it aims to offer a forum for scholars and students of Late Antiquity, Byzantium and Medieval Europe, focusing on social history in general and questions of ideology and identity in particular, in order to exchange findings and information in their fields of research.

Within the framework of scholarly cooperation and interaction, the blog will:

* disseminate news about scholarly events connected to the project or related to the project's thematic areas. For this reason, we invite researchers to use the blog to announce conferences, presentations and new publications relevant to the blog's research subjects.
* function as a database of relevant research (on doctoral, postdoctoral and senior level) that is currently carried out in universities and research institutions worldwide. For this reason, we invite researchers to present their thematically relevant research projects through the blog (title, summary).
* disseminate information on source material, field bibliography as well as on bibliography of critical theory (e.g. sociological theory, ideology critique, modern literary theory). For this reason, we invite researchers to make suggestions that will help to enrich the current bibliographical lists of the blog on a regular basis.
