The historical heritage conferences are part of the numerous awareness-raising actions conducted throughout the year to unveil the many facets and perspectives of its heritage.
The lecture series for this first semester will be “Perspectives on Military Heritage.”
Castrum, castle, rampart, wall, fortress, bastion, siege, line of fortification, relief map—so many terms that attest to the impact and the heritage imprint of battles and the warrior spirit of our societies, and this fundamental need to defend oneself. What perspective do we have today on this military heritage?
The first meeting will be held this Saturday at 3 PM in the Mamac room and is titled “Life and Death of the Fortress,” with the speaker being Nicolas Faucherre, a professor of art history and medieval archaeology at the Laboratory of Medieval and Modern Archaeology in the Mediterranean (LA3M, UMR 7298). Aix-Marseille University – CNRS.
