Zadar, May 28-30, 2026

With the fourth international scientific and artistic conference Rethinking Childhood IV, we aim to highlight the interdisciplinary nature of studies for teachers and educators as a distinctive feature from which we start our reflections on childhood and to encourage questioning the possibilities of connecting different areas of topics related to childhood. Therefore, in the title of the upcoming conference, we emphasised a transdisciplinary approach, which, through its inclusiveness, goes a step further than interdisciplinarity, promoting not only the connection but also the integration of various fields of science, as well as the intertwining of science and art. The transdisciplinary approach is also significant because it is inclined towards participatory practices, meaning that in such research, other interested parties from the broader community can participate, including children, whose active contribution to childhood studies has already been recognised within the framework of so-called child-focused research.

28.-30.5. 2026.

Četvrtom međunarodnom znanstveno-umjetničkom konferencijom Rethinking Childhood IV želja nam je istaknuti interdisciplinarni karakter studija za učitelje i odgojitelje kao osobitosti od koje polazimo u našim promišljanjima o djetinjstvu te potaknuti propitivanje mogućnosti povezivanja različitih područja temā vezanih uz djetinjstvo. Stoga smo u naslovu nadolazeće konferencije istaknuli transdisciplinarni pristup koji svojom uključivošću odlazi korak dalje od interdisciplinarnoga, potičući ne samo povezivanje, nego i prožimanje različitih područja znanosti, kao i ispreplitanje znanosti i umjetnosti. Transdisciplinarni pristup značajan je još po tome što je sklon participativnim praksama, a što bi značilo da u takvim istraživanjima mogu sudjelovati i ostali zainteresirani iz šire zajednice, uključujući djecu, a čiji je aktivni doprinos u studijima djetinjstva već prepoznat u okviru tzv. child-focused research.

25th to 29th of May 2026

The aim of the Mediterranean Maritime History Network is to bring together scholars studying the maritime history of the Mediterranean Sea and its linkages to the world.  It organizes every four years a conference in order to communicate, interact and exchange information on research and bibliography.

The 7th International Conference of the Mediterranean Maritime History Network will be held at the University of Zadar, Department of History in Croatia from 25th to 29th of May 2026. It will an opportunity for maritime historians to present new research, exchange opinions and insights, and discuss current trends in maritime history of the Mediterranean Sea.

The concept of the conference in based on a re-invention of  Frank Broeze’s definition of maritime history. Five categories of analysis which can form a methodology for the analysis of the maritime history of the sea are suggested. It can also be used for a fragment of a sea, for a maritime region, a maritime community, a thematic approach of a maritime activity for a short period, or a long period. One can pick one or two or any category that one chooses at any given period of time.   However, any analysis of a sea should take under consideration the inter-connections of the five categories to understand its influence. Because the sea has been and has remained the only natural element that people can use to circumnavigate and connect the world transferring its produce on a massive scale.
