Internal War. Society, Social Order and Political Conflict in Antiquity

该项目的目的有三个方面：(a)该网络打算通过对有关现象发展概念上的新方法，进一步加深我们对内战作为整个古代社会文化发展的一个关键因素的历史认识；(b)推动对有关原始材料进行方法上合理和全面的重新审查；(c)通过加强内战文化研究的中长期视角，为今后的研究奠定基础。网络成员的联合出版物将是该项目的持久成果。该出版物将结合源读者的优势与那些程序性文章和深入的“同伴”论文：以问题为导向的文章的形式，贡献提供了广泛的精选来源（文学，考古，铭文，钱币，纸莎草学）的近距离阅读。论文将分为三个部分：古典和希腊化希腊；罗马共和国/早期元首制；和大帝国/古代晚期。每个网络成员都被邀请参与其中的一个部分。为了实现联合出版的目标，网络成员将在三年内举行三次会议：三次为期两天的会议对应出版物的三个部分。会议将由项目负责人（Johannes Wienand, Henning Börm, Carsten Lange）详细准备，他们在项目开始时聚集在一起召开协调会议。在接近资助期结束和三次会议之后，项目负责人将举行编辑会议，以便对手稿进行最后润色并准备印刷。一般来说，该网络具有开展后续项目的强大潜力，并为超越经典研究学科界限的学术交流提供了一个宝贵的出发点。

The aim of the project is threefold: (a) The network intends to further our historical understanding of civil war as a crucial factor of sociocultural development in antiquity at large by developing conceptually new approaches to the phenomenon in question; (b) to advance a methodologically sound and comprehensive reexamination of the relevant source material; (c) and to lay the groundwork for future research by strengthening for the medium to long term the cultural studies perspective on civil war. A joint publication by the network members will be the enduring result of the project. The publication will combine the advantages of a source reader with those of programmatic articles and in-depth ‘Companion’ papers: In the form of problem-oriented essays, the contributions provide close-readings of a wide range of selected sources (literary, archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic, papyrological). The essays will be organized in three sections: Classical and Hellenistic Greece; Roman Republic / Early Principate; and High Empire / Late Antiquity. Each network member is invited to contribute to one of these sections. In order to achieve the goal of a joint publication, the network members will meet on three occasions over a period of three years: Three two-day conferences correspond to the three sections of the publication. The conferences will be prepared in detail by the project leaders (Johannes Wienand, Henning Börm, Carsten Lange) who come together for a coordination meeting at the start of the project. Near the end of the funding period and after the three conferences, the project leaders will have an editorial meeting in order to give the final touches to the manuscript and prepare it for print. Generally, the network has strong potential for follow-up projects and provides a valuable point of departure for academic exchange beyond the disciplinary boundaries of classical studies.
