CALL:

2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the first edition of "Rape in Antiquity", edited by Susan Deacy and Karen F. Pierce, a book that after twenty years still remains as an example of an innovative approach to a classical topic. To mark this anniversary and to emphasize the importance of this line of research in the last decades, a new conference, like the 1994 original one in Cardiff from which the book resulted, will be held at the University of Roehampton, London. The objective of this event is to promote a rich discussion on the subject of sexual violence in antiquity, by having in the same place a mixture of renowned scholars and newest generations of researchers which will result in the presentation and debate of new theories and points of view

The call for papers is now open and we hope to have several exciting proposals to explore sexual violence in the Ancient World through several perspectives, including: -Transdisciplinary approaches to sexual violence in antiquity -Feminist approaches to sexual violence in antiquity -Sexual violence and myth -Sexual violence and law -Men as victims of sexual violence -Women as victims of sexual violence -Reception of classical sexual violence - Rape in antiquity: developments in the study of the topic since the 1990s​ ​For communications of 20 minutes please send an abstract of maximum 700 words and also a brief curricular note with a maximum of 500 words to José Magalhães (jose.malheiro.magalhaes@gmail.com).
