Since modern times,In Enlightenment Thought、Under the influence of the Industrial Revolution and the October Revolution of Russia,Women's movements with the purpose of obtaining equality and rights are booming。to the 1960s,Further improvement of women's status provides a good environmental foundation for more women to participate in Byzantine Studies。In this context,Greek French scholar Eleina Alvelle,British scholar Elizabeth Jeffs、Margaret Murrete、Aflier Cameron and Judis Herne,and American scholar Angeli Rayu and Alice Talbut, etc., became representative characters。They were born in the 1940s,The appearance of the 1960s and 1970s。These female scholars pay attention to the areas of Byzantine,About the following aspects。

First,Literature sorting and translation。Literature is the basis for Byzantine research,Their entry is also starting from the literature,The most representative is Alice Talbot and Elizabeth Jefflaz。The former translation、The school noted the "History" of Pacific Olympic "History", "Constantinople's first Emonus II Emperor Andranicus II、Letter of Royal Family Member and Tingchen "and" Biography of the Saint Saint Saint "。The latter compiles the famous epic "Dygini Akrit"、Malaras' "Chronicles" and Surgery Cordon's Letter。These documents have exceeded the category of historical documents,Become an important representative bet365 live casino games of Byzantine's literature and literature。The collation and sorting of these original literature,It is still an important reference for the in -depth research of literary and historians。

Next,Women and Gender Research。These female scholars enter the beginning of the Byzantine academic field,I hope to change the traditional feature discussion method。From the perspective of women,Explain the rise and fall of Byzantine and the change of social changes。For example,Angeli Roywu's "The Function of Women in Byzantine Society" is known as "the new field of Byzantine research"。Alice Talbot's "Byzantine Women and Religious Life" discussed the biography of the saints、The status of women in religious rituals and monastery campaigns, etc.,Promoting the research of gender research and medieval church history。Judis Herne's "Unparalleled Influence: Women and Empires of Byzantine" discussed the role of women in the evolution of the Byzantine Empire,It has an important impact on the relationship between women and the empire in -depth。

again,Politics and religion。Politics and religion is the traditional theme of Byzantine research,These female scholars use their own advantages,further deepen this topic。For example,Elena Alveler, born in Athens, follows the relationship between the Byzantine Empire and the ocean,Its "Byzantine and Ocean" is the first system of Byzantine academic circles.。This book combines the inquiry of political ideology in the Political Ideology of the Byzantine Empire,Inspiring the changes in the relationship between the relationship between the political and the sea power of the academic community。

Last,Economic and Social Studies。With the continuous consolidation of the research foundation of these scholars,Its research field is also increasingly expanding,They deeply discussed the relationship between Byzantine's society and the economy。For example,Angeli Rayu's three volumes of "The Byzantine Economic History of the 7-15th Century" studied the relationship between economic development and society,Become an authoritative work in the field of Byzantine; Aflier Cameron's "The Rhetoric of Christianity and the Empire" discusses the relationship between the development of religious development and the change of the social discourse system,Put Roman -Byzantine in the big view of the bet365 best casino games Mediterranean civilization,provides a new perspective for studying the evolution of early Christian history and its discourse system。

These scholars not only focus on the study of Byzantine,and dedicated to discipline construction。On the one hand,They are active in many academic institutions,Strengthen communication with Byzantine scholars,Building a platform to promote the development of Byzantine。For example,Angeli Roywu served as the first female director of the famous Dunbatton Oak Garden Research Library and Collection from 1989 to 1998,Elena Alveler as the honorary chairman of the International Byzantine Society。They actively promote academic exchanges through such platforms,Angli Roywu has exchanged at Nankai University,Elizabeth Jeffs、Aflier Cameron、Margaret Murrett has exchanged at Northeast Normal University。On the other hand,They actively promote the construction of journal。For example,1985-1990,Aflier Cameron served as the editor of the Roman Research Journal,The development of Byzantine has won a certain exchanges resources。

  New generation scholars open up new fields

The older generation of female Byzantine scholars who became famous in the 1960s and 1970s,Most of them have entered the year of the twilight today,Angeli Rayu and Elizabeth Jeffs have died。They laid the foundation for female scholars born after the 1950s and 1960s。New generation scholars from a new perspective and theory,Combined with new technical means,Learning in seal、spectrum system、Version of new fields such as learning and interdisciplinary has achieved remarkable achievements。where,Claudia Sodes in Germany、Claudia Rap in Austria、Representative of American scholar Lyonorira Neville and others。They have continued the research tradition of seniors and scholars,It also opened a new field in accordance with the requirements of the times。

German scholars are studying with ancient words,Church History、Biography of the Saints、Ceremony、The dissemination and manuscript research of Greek literature is its traditional research field。but,With the discovery of the seal,Seal science has achieved great development in the middle and late 20th century。German scholar Claudia Sod, a German Bet365 app download scholar with literature research as the starting point, became a representative of the study of seal studies,In 2014, she and scholar Hans Meyer, a scholar in the history of medieval history, jointly published a 155 -page directory,List 109 seals of the King of Jerusalem from 1099-1291。The academic significance of this book is no less than the "Latin Oriental Seal" published by French scholar Shellenbaig in 1943。

Religion and society is a traditional issue,But these new generation of female scholars avoided the Byzantine religion -secular dualization analysis mode,Instead, it will be explained from a new perspective。Claudia Lap's "The Sacred Bishop in the Late Ancient Late: The Essentials of Christian Leadership in the Reform Age" is a representative work,The explanation of the dualization is not enough to reveal the essence of the relationship between the king of Byzantine and the teaching right。She thinks,The bishop of the late ancient period will be in the spiritual、The authority of the three areas of material and asceticism is combined,Play effective leadership role。This view has an important impact on the research of the authoritative authority of the ancient bishop in ancient times。

New generation scholars still pay attention to the status of outstanding women in the history of Byzantine。4263_4296,A new interpretation of Byzantine Emperor John II's daughter Anna Cuomingna, a royal woman who writes classical history。but but,Neville broke through the mode of simply studying the relationship between women and Byzantine Empires,Instead of exploring the quality of men from the perspective of women,"The Heroes of the 12th Century Byzantine and the Romans" concentrated reflects her new achievements in the field of classical Roman male cultural memory research。Claudia Lap in the "Brotherhood of the Late Ancient and Byzantine: Monter、Pingxiang and Christian Rites,From the background of the ceremony、The performance of narrative text and legal literature,Analysis of Byzantine's brother friendship ceremony。

In Byzantine Research,The central government is mostly research focus,less research on the provincial system。The province as the party of the interaction between the local and the central government,The relationship between bet365 live casino games its authority and central power is very important。In the study of regional and social history,Lyonorla Neville has followed the issue of the authority of Byzantine Province,Researching the power of Byzantine's bureaucracy。She in the book "The authority in the provincial society of Byzhan",I have proposed a new understanding of the authority of the province。

Of course,Female scholars in the new generation also pay attention to literature,Translation、I have compiled a large number of Greek and Latin linguistics,Continue to take the International Byzantine Society as the communication platform,Actively organize extensive exchanges between scholars from various countries。At the same time,They use the journal as a ideological exchange position,Give full play to the role of journal editing。For example,Claudia Sodes fully rely on the role of the part -time editing of the Byzantine Magazine,Follow New Historical Materials、New point of view,Published a large number of innovative articles。She also participated in the "Byzantine -Golden Breams and Daily Life" international exhibition held in the Federal German Art Exhibition Hall in Bonn,This is a useful attempt to integrate academic and popular science。

  Winning an unanimous praise from the international academic community

The above Western female scholars,Most of them have close contact and intersection with Byzantine research at Northeast Normal University。Learn from them or come to Northeast Normal University,or participate in the Byzantine School of Symposium。For example,Aflier Cameron During the study period in China,Introduce the concept of "late ancient" into the Chinese academic community。Many scholars have written works about women and nuns in Byzantine's history,Their unique perspective、Ability and perspective are of great significance for the development of international Byzantine。

First,enriched the connotation of the study of gender history。The research of gender history is the result of the women's movement and historius innovation since the 1960s and 1970s,Pay attention to women in history means challenging the traditional historic explanation of men。Pioneering of Byzantine Gender History,Thanks to the research of these bet365 best casino games female historians。This not only provides a new perspective for Byzantine History Research,Family History、Women's History and other fields get pioneering,and further expand the research objects and scope,It is of great significance to promote the development of Byzantine's historical methods and theory。These female scholars are delicate with women、The pursuit and persistence of career,Expand Byzantine Women's History Research,Not only enriched the research path of Byzantine,Also received the respect of male colleagues。In the field of academic research,They are not only the theoretical interpreters of Byzantine's gender history research,It is also a practitioner who builds the relationship between equality and mutual assistance。

2,Open a more delicate and strict research path。Female Byzantine scholars are mostly committed to social history research,Different from most male scholars is,They are more concerned about "details of history"。For example, Aflier Carmuron Study Byzantine historian Probby,More from genre、Structure and term angle,In -depth analysis of the effects of these factors on the historian's writing。This helps to understand the thoughts and personality of the historians from more subtle,It is undoubtedly a new idea of ​​historical research。

third,Enriched the source of historical materials。These female scholars are not studying gender or social history,Some people pay attention to economic or political history。Because they are women,We often see the "shadow" of gender history in their political history or economic history.。In the specific historical interpretation,They are no longer sticking to political history or military history,Instead, the biography of the saints who did not be valued in the past、Miracle narrative、Letter and Monastery Courtyard Regulations。These documents are of great significance for building a colorful Byzantine history。

The efforts of these female Byzantine scholars make Byzantine School in a more balanced direction。Of course,Their research is not perfect。Some research on the "fine branches" may cause the primary and secondary unclear,Excessive emphasis on gender history may lead to another "extreme"。But they paid a lot of hard work,The achievement is beyond doubt。Their academic pursuit never stops,Actively bet365 Play online games devote themselves to academic research,and won unanimous praise from the international Byzantine academic community。From this point of view,International Byzantine Studies are a discipline with relatively equal gender,It is the common efforts of generations of scholars,Promoting the comprehensive development of Byzantine's studies。
