<p>In this episode of Βυζάντιο explained, we speak with Dr Bart Janssens, Publishing Manager at Brepols Publishers, about what it means to get published as a Byzantinist. We explore Brepols' mission and structure, walk through the publishing process from proposal to final publication, and discuss the linguistic and thematic trends that shape academic publishing today. We also delve into the role of artificial intelligence, the prospects of digital humanities, and the growing importance of interdisciplinary research in Byzantine and medieval studies. Dr Janssens shares insights from his long career at Brepols and his journey from classical philology to publishing management.</p><p>Σε αυτό το επεισόδιο του Βυζάντιο explained, συνομιλούμε με τον Dr Bart Janssens, διευθυντή εκδόσεων του Brepols, για το πώς είναι να εκδίδεις έργα ως βυζαντινολόγος. Εξετάζουμε το εκδοτικό έργο και την αποστολή των Brepols, τις διαδικασίες που ακολουθούνται από την πρόταση έως τη δημοσίευση, καθώς και τις γλώσσες και τις θεματικές τάσεις που διαμορφώνουν σήμερα την επιστημονική εκδοτική παραγωγή. Συζητούμε επίσης τον ρόλο της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης, τις προοπτικές των ψηφιακών ανθρωπιστικών σπουδών, και τη σημασία της διαθεματικής έρευνας στα βυζαντινά και μεσαιωνικά γράμματα. Ο Dr Janssens μοιράζεται εμπειρίες από τη μακρόχρονη θητεία του στις Brepols, αλλά και την προσωπική του πορεία από τη φιλολογία στη διαχείριση εκδόσεων.🔗 Επισκεφθείτε τον ιστότοπο των Brepols: https://www.brepols.netΑνακαλύψτε τα Corpus Christianorum: https://www.corpuschristianorum.orgΜία νέα δημοσίευση από το Brepols: Byzantine Liturgical Books: An Introduction: https://www.brepols.net/products/IS-9782503607573-1🔗 Άκουσε το podcast μας εδώ: https://linktr.ee/byzantioexplainedpodcast📧 Επικοινωνήστε μαζί μας: [email protected]#Byzantioexplained #podcast #ByzantineStudies #Brepols #Byzantineempire #academicpublishing #DigitalHumanitiesΑκολουθήστε το Podcast μας 📸Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/byzantioexplained/✖️ X ► https://x.com/ByzantioExpl_p🌐 Bluesky ► https://bsky.app/profile/byzantioexplained.bsky.social📘 Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/Byzantioexplained🎧 Spotify ► https://open.spotify.com/show/3FtJ3ixEZiYBwuqyQ81mdg🍏 Apple Podcasts ► https://podcasts.apple.com/gr/podcast/byzantio-explained/id1554787771▶️ YouTube ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCumFGMN8OHqCxrxRl-wTEQA<br /></p>

A conversation with Adam Morin (University of Ioannina) about categories of taste, the meal structure, and the food and ingredients that east Romans ate. What foods were prized and what looked down upon? How do we know what they ate? What do we know about individual preferences? The conversation is based on Adam's dissertation, Food and Food Culture in the Byzantine Empire, Seventh to Fifteenth Centuries (Queen's University, 2024).

“Cleopatra” (1963), a four-hour epic starring Elizabeth Taylor as the titular queen, is legendary in the history of filmmaking. Its notoriously troubled production made it one of the most expensive movies ever made and brought 20th Century Fox on the verge of collapse, but Taylor’s portrayal has defined the image of Cleopatra in pop culture for over sixty years. We look back on the history of the film itself, assess its presentation of Hellenistic Egypt, and talk about the problems of telling the story of powerful woman whose life was so entangled with that of the men around her.
