Walter Scheidel (Stanford University)


Building for the State: A World-Historical Perspective




Zeit: Mittwoch, 27. November, 17:00-18:00

Ort: Aula am Campus, Hof 1.11, Spitalgasse 9, 1090 Wien



Keynote Lecture on occasion of the 4th International Conference of the
National Research Network "Imperium & Officium: Comparative Studies in
Ancient Bureaucracy and Officialdom" (Vienna, 27-29 November 2013)



Large-scale public building in Antiquity is frequently assessed from a point
of view that reflects Moses I. Finley's influential distinction (as
expressed in his Ancient Economy) between the Ancient Near East's coerced
mass labour regime on the one hand and the coexistence of slave and free
wage labour in the Greek and Roman societies of the Mediterranean World on
the other. Our conference proposes to nuance this model by examining case
studies that shed light on official, liturgical, entrepreneurial and other
duties in the realm of public construction activities in imperial contexts,
with a view towards evaluating the bearing of these issues on the overall
assessment of the nature of political, ideological and economic power in the
states under discussion.



Walter Scheidel, Dickason Professor in the Humanities, Professor of Classics
and History at the Department of Classics, Stanford University, Catherine R.
Kennedy and Daniel L. Grossman Fellow in Human Biology, focus of research:
ancient social and economic history, with particular emphasis on historical
demography, labor, and state formation, interest in comparative and
transdisciplinary approaches of the study of the pre-modern world
