Ancient Narrative Techniques - Receptions from the Middle Ages to the Present Day (Pontes XI)

Freiburg, 26–28 September 2024

Appel à contributions
Date limite : 31 March 2024

 

Reception studies have dealt with many content-related and formal characteristics of ancient literature – from topics and characters to individual works and genres to motifs and style. However, the reception of ancient narrative techniques has been comparatively neglected. There is a whole range of such techniques that have been imitated, adapted and newly conceptualized following models from ancient literature. Examples include:
- the arsenal of epic techniques such as the invocation of the Muse, proems in the middle, catalogues, ‘typical scenes', the divine apparatus, in medias res, apostrophes to characters (e.g. Reitz/Finkmann 2019)
- characteristics of predominantly novelistic literature such as alternating narrative strands, recapitulations, editorial fiction (Herausgeberfiktion), stories within the story (e.g. Hägg 1971)
- cross-genre techniques such as the author's concluding statement on his own behalf (sphragis), metalepsis (Kuhn-Treichel 2023), particular configurations of authorial commentaries or speech representation (Jong et al. 2004-2022)
- Metaphors of narration, e.g. as ‘weaving', ‘illuminating' or ‘navigating' (Klotz 2007)

More than a game. The rediscovery of Ausonius' political and civil engagement

University of Turin, 3-4 December 2024

Più che un gioco. Per una riscoperta dell'impegno politico e civile di Ausonio
Università di Torino, 3-4 dicembre 2024

Appel à contributions
Date limite : 31 March 2024

 

Despite being regarded as a disengaged author who loved light and playful poetry, Ausonius became tutor to the Emperor Gratian, held the consulate, wrote texts explicitly devoted to political themes, e.g. the Gratiarum actio, and provides us with a great deal of information about the socio-political context of his day. Since modern scholars have paid little attention to Ausonius' public involvement, this conference aims to shed further light on the way his oeuvre reveals his political worldview and engages with the imperial environment. We therefore invite PhD students, early-career researchers and established scholars to submit paper proposals (max. 300 words) for 25-minute papers to alessandro.mandrino[at]unito.it by 31 March 2024. Conference languages are English, French and Italian.
Confirmed speakers: Andrea Balbo (Torino), Jesús Hernández Lobato (Salamanca), Massimo Manca (Torino), Andrea Pellizzari (Torino), Giampiero Scafoglio (Nice Côte d'Azur), Andrea Trisciuoglio (Torino), Étienne Wolff (Paris Nanterre).
Organising Committee: Elisa Della Calce, Alessandro Mandrino, Simone Mollea

"Fervet opus". Per i primi 60 anni di "Vichiana"

Appel à contributions
Date limite : 30 marzo 2024

 

Next 2024 “Vichiana”, founded and directed by Carlo Del Grande, time ago included in class A and in SCOPUS indexing, turns sixty. In 1972, after two years of forced silence, the journal published in Naples until 2013 by the publisher Loffredo, would offer the reader a substantial essay of Arnaldi, co-director since 1968, on La crisi dell'età argentea (pp. 3-67). The theme, for those like us who seek and find an effective dialectic in the new function and in the renewed ministry of the word even in the message of the classical tradition, today appears once again to have a dramatic relevance.
