DESCRIPTION:This talk is the last one in the 'Slavery in the ancient worlds
 ' series\n\nTalk by Paulin Ismard on 'Comparative history of slavery: issu
 es and methods'\n\nPaulin Ismard will question the benefit that specialist
 s of Greco-Roman slavery can gain from dialogue with the historians of sla
 very from other periods. Considering the question of the relationship betw
 een debt\, servitude and slavery in archaic Greece (7th-6th centuries B.C.
 )\, ee will first show how recent approaches in the field of the global hi
 story of labour and slavery are successful in renewing our understanding o
 f the alleged birth of chattel-slavery in Greece. The history of archaic G
 reece can no longer be separated from all the developments of the eastern 
 Mediterranean world. But such a research perspective cannot grasp in all i
 ts complexity the functioning of societies of classical antiquity\, which 
 placed the institution of slavery at the center of their functioning and c
 ollective imaginary. A 'morphological' comparative approach\, redefined bo
 th in its scales of observation and in its methods and goals\, is then nec
 essary and this will be shown by focusing on a recent collective publicati
 on I have edited\, Les mondes de l’esclavage. Une histoire comparée (Paris
 \, Seuil\, 2021).\n\nPaulin Ismard is Professor in Ancient History at the 
 Aix Marseille University. His work focuses mainly on the history of slaver
 y in ancient Greece of classical and Hellenistic periods\, in its politica
 l dimension (Democracy’s slaves. A Political history of ancient Greece\, H
 arvard\, 2017\, on public slavery) and its legal aspects (La cité et ses e
 sclaves. Institution\, fictions\, experiences\, Paris\, Seuil\, 2019). He 
 has recently edited a collective publication on the comparative history of
  slavery : Les mondes de l’esclavage. Une histoire comparée (Paris\, Seuil
 \, 2021). He also works on politics in ancient Greece (La cité des réseaux
 . Athènes et ses associations\, VIe-Ier s. avt. J.-C\, Paris\, Publ. de la
  Sorbonne\, 2010 \; L’événement Socrate\, Paris\, Flammarion\, 2013). He h
 as been member of the Institute for Advanced Study of Princeton (2015-2016
