We are pleased to announce that the Call for Papers for the
international and interdisciplinary conference „Third Space and
Ancient World Studies” is now open for submissions. The conference
will be hosted by the Department of Ancient History and Ancient Near
Eastern Studies at the University of Innsbruck from 29th to 31st of
October 2025.
This conference seeks to develop the research on spatial perception in
ancient societies by gathering scholars of any discipline in the
Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Sciences and from any stage
in their career to discuss spatial concepts from their own
disciplinary perspective.
We welcome case studies as well as theoretical and methodological
papers dealing with (but not limited to) the following topics:
 - Comparative Approaches to Spatial Theory
 - Gendered and other social Spaces
 - Imperial Spaces
 - Sacred Spaces
 - Spatial Lexicon (of any language in Antiquity and the Early Middle
Ages)
 - Spatial Metaphors
 - Theoretical and/or Methodological Considerations concerning Third
Spaces
 - Urban and Rural Spaces
 - Language and Spatial Cognition
We welcome proposals for 20-minutes papers. The abstract should not
exceed 300 words and should be submitted to thirdspace.uibk at gmail.com
by 30th of July 2025. The conference language will be English.
At least one session of the conference will be reserved for linguistic
papers. The papers might deal with the relationship between language
and spatial ‘thinking’. The focus is on ancient languages of any
language family and/or theoretical approaches. Other topics concerning
spatial perception and language will be considered as well.
Please note that the abstracts will be published online. A publication
of the papers is planned. Early-career scholars are especially
encouraged to send us their proposals.
