Coming thirty-five years after the last symposium on the medieval town in Bulgaria (1980), this conference aims to include the discourse on the social, economic, and technological aspects of town-country relations in the Byzantine World into the broader historiographical debate about the role of towns for the advance of modernity in Europe. Objectifying the concept of town and country as two entities of the same system, the conference will organize presentations of recent scholarly research in archaeology and history in two panels, generally focused on urban and rural environment, from the seventh through the fifteenth century. In congruence with the institutional mission of the American Research Center in Sofia, this conference intends the intensification of scholarly cooperation and communication on both a regional and intercontinental scale.
