Meeting Description:

The Deutsche Orientalistentag (DOT) is the largest professional meeting of
Oriental Studies in Germany and one of the most important scholarly
Orientalist congresses in the world (http://www.dot2017.de/en/). The range of
disciplines encompasses the Ancient and Modern Middle East, including North
Africa, as well as all of Asia, with particular emphasis on Central, South and
South East Asia. The DOT is administered by the Deutsche Morgenländische
Gesellschaft (DMG), which entrusts a university with the organization of the
congress. The first DOT took place in 1921 in Leipzig. In 2017, for the first
time in history, the DOT will be held at Friedrich Schiller University in
Jena, Thuringia.

The headline of the DOT 2017 is ''Asia, Africa and Europe,'' and the two main
topics to be discussed at the conference are:

- The transfer of knowledge between East and West, especially Eastern
influence on Europe in antiquity and the Middle Ages,
- The rising interest of Western scholarship in Oriental cultures and history,
including the history of Oriental research in more recent times.

The intention of the organizers is to promote contributions addressing the
headline and the two main topics, but papers, panels, and workshops devoted to
other branches of scholarship are equally welcome. All colleagues are
cordially invited to present the results of their research, and to discuss
them with an expert audience.

Panel on Caucasian languages and cultures :

As part of the Deutsche Orientalistentag, for the first time, there will be a
panel on the Caucasus.


Call for Papers:

As part of the Deutsche Orientalistentag for the first time there will be a
panel on the Caucasus. Interested researchers are requested to submit

following subdisciplines:

The papers must cover languages and/or cultures of the Caucasus and the

Panel organizer: Diana Forker, University of Jena & University of Bamberg
