Diet and the ideologicalization of food in the medieval societies of Europe..
Dietary choice and the subsequent consumption of a range of foods are complex processes, which are influenced by a set of varied and interdependent factors. Innate preferences, individual choice and the natural environment define the availability of goods to eat, while the customary and cultural background, social reality, but also specific religious perceptions and beliefs give meaning to dietary choices and give spiritual and moral substance to the materials goods. For example, Christianity, as the dominant religion in medieval Western Europe, defined the dietary choices of historical subjects through the imposition of restrictive dietary rules, dietary prohibitions, and ritual experiences that were instrumental in structuring the individual's relationship with food. In this seminar, special emphasis will be placed on the nutritional dichotomy of gluttony and fasting, on the divergent dietary choices of the followers of the heretical movements that promoted an alternative nutritional path, but also on the so-called holy anorexia or anorexia nervosa, as an extreme expression of fasting and an attempt to tame of the body, which in modern scientific terms is defined as an eating disorder.

Medieval Women: Gender and Sex
The history of human sexuality remains, for the most part, terra incognita, especially when it comes to women. Only in the last century have women themselves openly discussed their sexuality in ways that are accessible to the historian. For most of human history, the written word has been largely a male domain of expression; thus we almost always perceive women through the distorting lens of men. Popular literature is full of female sexual predators, unfaithful husbands, and deceived women who enthusiastically engage in sexual relationships. Christian theorists were convinced that human sexuality suffered an irreversible degradation as a result of the sin of Adam and Eve. Their negative assessment has remained with us to this day. This course will examine the institutions and ideas that dominated the construction of gender in the Middle Ages. It will also provide an insight into not one, but many 'sexualities'. A medieval woman's sexuality included many different aspects and did not refer only to her sexual activity, as sexual life was as much social, cultural, legal and religious as it was personal. We will also examine the experiences of women in medieval society: public and private power, changing concepts of family and the domestic sphere, women in religious life, women in the workplace, and the beginnings of "feminist" thought. The course also includes an exploration of the lives and experiences of women in medieval Europe, with particular emphasis on political power, religious life, work and family life. The course will first focus on the personal aspects of medieval female sexuality: namely Virginity, Marriage, Medicine and Rape. The context for Canon Law and secular jurisdictional beliefs about medieval female sexuality will also be presented.

Archeology of Death in the Hellenistic World
The transformations introduced during the Hellenistic period (323-31 BC) and the intensifying urbanization of society resulted in the rapid change of social life and contributed decisively to the sharpening of social differences. These changes are also manifested in the burial practices such as the placing of impressive gifts in a few graves, the construction of luxurious burial monuments, or the performance of costly burial rituals, next to their exact opposites, i.e. many graves with little or no gifts, humble burial practices, etc. The main objective of the seminar is the investigation of the archeology of death in the period from the death of M.Alexander (323 BC) to the naval battle in Actio (31 BC). Through case studies (e.g. Aiges, Alexandria, Athens, Demetriada, Pella, Pergamos, Rhodes, etc.) the landscape of death, the types of tombs, the offerings and the funerary rituals are examined within the relevant socio-political, economic and religious context.

From Romanesque Art to Gothic Magnificence, 1050-1500
This seminar will present the works created in the Romanesque and especially the Gothic period, examining the ideas that shaped these multidimensional artistic currents. Romanesque art, one of the great non-naturalistic artistic currents of the past, was a dominant current in Europe from the middle of the 11th century to the end of the 12th century. From the 12th century a dazzling new style of art and architecture, the Gothic, appeared first in France and then spread almost throughout Europe. The introduction of pointed arches transformed architecture, especially in the North, where buildings of this style continued to be built at least until the 16th century. Elaborate decorative forms appear in the late 14th century in the works of sculptors and painters working in the courts of France, Burgundy and Flanders. Thus, the International Gothic style spread, mainly through illustrated manuscripts (Limbourg brothers), almost throughout Europe coexisting alongside the new Renaissance style in the 15th century.
