-
Phoenician Identity in the Making: A Longue Durée Perspective (Prof. Naama Yahalom-Mack and Prof. Alexander Fantalkin) — exploring the processes that shaped Phoenician identity over the long term, across different regions and periods.
-
Can We Hear Anymore the Voice of Singing Men and Women? Recovering Phoenician Oral Poetry (Prof. Noam Mizrahi and Prof. Andrea Rotstein) — reconstructing aspects of lost Phoenician poetic traditions and their impact on neighboring cultures in the ancient Mediterranean.
