Program

It will offer at first a general a geographic and chronological framing and a historical contextualization of the subject (birth of orientalism, evolution in colonialist and postcolonialist times, current events). Subsequently a broad historical-archaeological topic, specifically the history of Biblo, a city on the Lebanese coast, will be explored and analyzed. This in-depth study aims to illustrate how different methodological approaches can be applied to the same topic (archaeological evidence, archival documents, coeval historical texts...) and thus initiate the use of material, literary and secondary literature sources.
