OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Symposium Day 1: The Komnenian Restoration of Byzantium & its Legacy
Booking deadline Monday 14 April
Scholars have used the concept of the ‘Komnenian Restoration’ of Byzantium for many years, and yet the term has never received a critical analysis: what did the Komnenoi believe they were restoring? Did they achieve any of their aims, in what ways, and what was the legacy of their successes and failures?
This symposium aims to gather both established and emerging Komnenian Scholars to analyse these questions, and to do so across all fields including cultural, religious, administrative, legal and societal history as well as military. Likewise, it will have an especial focus on the Komnenian legacy, both towards the Byzantine successor states of the 13th century, and also the Turkish and Latin polities that arose after their 12th century peak.
This symposium will also discuss the publication of a handbook of Komnenian scholars, and so welcome attendees who would also consider contributing to such a volume. This event will also involve associated cultural events, such as a workshop on Komnenian manuscripts in the Bodleian Library.
For more information, and to register interest in attending, please fill in the online form: forms.gle/dneAq4okLfQkpL99A, by 14 April 2025 – late contact will be considered, but the event may have reached capacity by then.
