This symposium will allow us to lay out a state of affairs in the field of research on War in the Medieval Near East from the 10th to the 15th century, both in its technical as well its theorical aspects. The "War Phenomenon" will be considered as one of the explanatory factors for the transformations that the societies of Bilâd al-Shâm and Egypt had known in this period. This symposium will also be an occasion to confront practices of Arab historians and their western counterparts. It will bring together researchers who focus their work on the Near and Middle East as well as Western specialists. It will finally allow us to propose new aspects of research, in particular those concerning warfare related violence.
The followin themes have been highlighted, without however excluding others :
- Conceptions, Representations
Philosophy of War and Peace ; Jihad and Holy War
- Combats
Strategy, tactics
Anthropology of combats
- History of Techniques
Military architecture ; armaments
- Economics
Logistics, Booty, Iqtâ', fiefs
