    Conference Photo 1.jpg
    On November 29, 2019, Directors Luigi Lafasciano and Andrew Gipe-Lazarou participated in the international conference "I Colloquium Ancient Images from Greece in the New World” hosted by the Embassy of Brazil in Athens, Greece. They discussed the application of Deep History to sensory studies of Antiquity by presenting the pedagogical framework of The Diakron Institute’s ongoing educational projects, with a particular emphasis on its Cultural Exploration of the Cyclades (in 3 Parts). “The colloquium is one component of the project Touching the Past, directed by Maria Cecilia de Miranda N. Coelho (Professor of Ancient Philosophy at the Federal University of Minas Gerais) and Erica Angliker (archaeologist, scientific member of the excavations at Despotiko and Research Fellow at the Institute of Classical Studies, School of Advanced Studies at the University of London). [...] It intends to address many theoretical and practical questions, including the process of cooperation among scholars and/or archaeologists from Brazil and Greece, the manner in which the Hellenic past has been forged, and the Brazilian contribution to this process. Above all, it wishes to stimulate students and young professors to 'touch the past' in a collaborative dialogue between archaeology and related areas.”

    Cambridge Welcomes the Diakron
    On December 8th, 2018, Directors Luigi Lafasciano and Andrew Gipe-Lazarou participated in the international conference “Sensual Reflections: Re-thinking the Role of the Senses in the Greco-Roman World,” hosted by the Faculty of Classics at the University of Cambridge. They discussed the application of Deep History to sensory studies of Antiquity by presenting the pedagogical framework of The Diakron Institute’s ongoing educational projects. “The study of the classical past is currently experiencing a spatial and sensory turn, affecting the work of classicists, classical archaeologists, ancient philosophers and historians alike. Despite the growing number of ideas and approaches developed by individual specialists, so far the attempts to develop an interdisciplinary conversation on the matter have been limited. The aim of this conference is therefore to bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines and to create a lively and challenging setting for discussion of new methodological approaches to ancient senses.”

    Goats Inspire Conception of The Diakron
    While traveling through Crete in July of 2014, Luigi Lafasciano and Andrew Gipe carefully reflect on their communication with goats. On the 5th day of their journey, after hiking the full 18 kilometers of the Samaria schism, they rest their weary legs at a tavern in Agia Roumeli. Along the southern cliffs of Lefka Ori, with bellies full of Cretan spice, a full-blue view of the Mediterranean Sea, and the perceptible proximity of the African continent, two mortal men conceive of a multi-cultural collaboration and the gods laugh. The acute chink of glasses followed by the searing penetration of local elixir gives ritual resolution to their proud determination and humble intentions, and the goats are none the wiser...
