DESCRIPTION:An IIAS-ISF Conference
ORGANIZERS:
Adrian Boas, University of Haifa
Judith Bronstein, University of Haifa
Sophia Menache, University of Haifa
More than nine hundred years after the proclamation of the First Crusade, this crucial albeit controversial phenomenon still powerfully influences contemporary society at almost every level, either political, socio-economic, and/or cultural. From the many and diverse aspects of Crusader history, this Workshop will focus on the concept of Holy War and its relevance to the meeting point between West and East. In studying and analyzing the Crusades and their history, workshop sessions will be devoted to archaeology and art, ethnic encounters, ideology, and the evolution of the Crusades and their outcomes in the Latin East and abroad.
