Annual Meeting of Postgraduates in Ancient Literature 2017: TRANSFORMATION - 22-23/06/2017, Liverpoo
Transformation is a major, if somewhat under-explored, theme which pervades much of the ancient literary corpus. The broad theme of transformation enjoys pan-generic treatment, and surfaces in ancient historical, philosophical, poetic, and rhetorical works. This theme not only celebrates the diverse and ever-evolving areas explored in our study of ancient literature, but also reflects the pathways and methodologies used in these endeavours, and the future interdisciplinary potential of the subject. This year, in recognition of the multi-disciplinary strengths of the Department of Archaeology, Classics, and Egyptology at the University of Liverpool, we are especially keen to encourage submissions relating to the rich literary traditions of other ancient languages, in addition to Latin and Greek. We encourage broad, diverse, and exciting interpretations of the theme of transformation in Ancient Literature.
