In different cultures people experience the bond between them and the other people differently. They re-create their self image and their identities according to the family background, social group, gender and religion. The experience of the unity and the bond between the people is a strong cultural and social factor.
As a continuation to the already well established tradition of Passages from Antiquity to the Middle Ages -conferences (I, Family, Marriage and Death, in 2003, and II, Aging, Old Age and Death in 2005) the third conference focuses on the networks and relationships in society, relations between individuals, families and different social and ethnic groups. The aim is to bring together scholars from various fields of study to discuss the continuities and changes in experiencing and constructing networks and relationships. Comparative and/or interdisciplinary perspective is emphasized in the contributions.
The Registration fee for all those attending or participating is 50 euros, with a post-graduate student rate of 30 euros (includes conference material).
