Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The purpose of this interesting project is to look at how extreme situations such as upheavals, revolutions, and disasters affect everyday life, on the basis that such situations can also lead to rapid change in social perception and behavior patterns. The participants work on modern threat scenarios such as the Arab Spring, the financial crisis, and the nuclear catastrophe in Fukushima as well as examples from the late ancient world. Battistella's focus is very much on doctrinal and ecclesial management rather than on the exigencies of daily life in post-Gothic war Italy, a society that was breaking down after Justinian's largely failed attempt to restore Italy to Byzantine rule and whose leaders were struggling to come to terms with the new Merovingian rule in the mid-sixth century.
