Of course, one may first of all think about contributions in social history: though family is no longer at the core of anthropologists\u2019 concerns, it obviously played a central role in Ancient Near Eastern societies. And there are many sources of study, thanks\u2014notably\u2014to archives found in numerous houses from the end of the third millennium to the Hellenistic period. Beside contributions to the Rencontre\u2019s theme, other contribution subjects are of course welcome. They may be the result of research in areas such as philology, archaeology, or history. Moreover, workshops devoted to specific questions are planned. For technical reasons, we wish that such proposals be submitted to the organization Committee as soon as possible.<\/p>\n For obvious organizational concerns, contributions may not exceed 20 minutes. All equipment requirements during presentations can be submitted ahead of time using the online registration form on the Rencontre\u2019s website.<\/p>\n Please send summaries of conferences or posters no later than May 1st, 2009.<\/p>\n Registrations to the Rencontre will be made online at http:\/\/rai.digitorient.com<\/a>.

\nCircular 1<\/h2>\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cFamily in the Ancient Near East:
\nRealities, Symbolisms, and Images\u201d<\/span>\u00ab La famille dans le Proche-Orient ancien:
\nr\u00e9alit\u00e9s, symbolismes et images. \u00bb<\/span>“Die Familie im alten Vorderen Orient:
\nRealit\u00e4ten, Symbole und Bilder”<\/span><\/h1>\n
\nRoyal families will be given special attention in order to find out the extent to which they display particular features not found in other contemporary families. The family metaphor for relationships between rulers (\u201cfathers\u201d and \u201csons,\u201d or \u201cbrothers\u201d) will also be studied, as well as family relationships within the Sumerian pantheon. Art history will concern itself with family representations which, being rare, are all the more precious. Archaeologists will be able to present the problem of graves in and outside of houses, and the difficulties of palaeo-demography. Numerous other themes will no doubt be treated, for subject matter is not lacking.<\/span><\/p>\nProgram Organization<\/h1>\n
