Prominent historians, such as Fernand Braudel, Henri Pirenne and Shlomo Dov Goitein, have created some of the conceptual groundwork that is continuously being re-assessed --- most recently in Peregrine Horden and Nicholas Purcell The Corrupting Sea (Oxford, 2000). The Workshop "Mediterranean Paradigms and the Study of Antiquity" will confront the concept of the Mediterranean by posing the same question to a group of prominent ancient historians: "How useful is the concept of the =91Mediterranean=92 to the study of Antiquity"? Among those who will address it at the workshop will be: Carmine Ampolo of the Scuola Normale Superiore Di Pisa; Lin Foxhall of the University of Leicester; Irad Malkin of Tel Aviv University; Ian Morris of Stanford University; Nicholas Purcell of St. John=92s College, Oxford; Zeev Rubin of Tel Aviv University; Brent Shaw of the University of Pennsylvania; and Greg Woolf of the University of St. Andrews. The workshop will take place at Tel Aviv University, 30-31 May 2001 under the auspices of The Center for Mediterranean Civilizations and its Director, Professor Irad Malkin. Those who wish to stay on, may take into account that the Israeli Society for the Promotion of Classical Studies will hold its annual, international meeting on June 4-5, 2001 at Bar Ilan University, Ramat Gan (very near to Tel Aviv). More information about this meeting can be found at: http://research.haifa.ac.il/~mluz/ispcs/kenesmenu.html. Fellowships There will be at least ten fellowships for graduate students and post-doctoral candidates. Each fellowship will pay $900 for people coming from Europe and $1250 for those coming from the American continent or a comparable distance. To apply, please send a letter describing your main field of interest, and a curriculum vitae. Please have one letter of recommendation sent directly to Professor Irad Malkin. Both CV and the letter may be sent via e-mail to mediter@post.tau.ac.il or mailed to: Prof. Irad Malkin, The Center for Mediterranean Civilizations Tel Aviv University, 69978 Tel Aviv, Israel. Fax: 972-3-6405076; Tel: 972-3-6405187 Residence: Fully furnished apartments in central Tel Aviv will be available for a cost of $70 a night (minimum residency: six nights). Two persons may share an apartment. For those interested in a shorter stay, we can help with arrangements for hotel accommodation. Experience from two previous workshops has been very satisfactory. Israel is a small country and Tel Aviv is a very good base for day-trips. Night life in Tel Aviv is happily Mediterranean. .
