AMPRAW 2018: Annual Meeting of Postgraduates in the Reception of the Ancient World

November 8, 2018 - November 10, 2018

It is with great pleasure that we announce the Annual Meeting of Postgraduates in the Reception of the Ancient World. AMPRAW 2018 will be a two-day conference aiming to provide postgraduate students from all disciplines with the opportunity to present their research to the growing academic community focusing on classical reception.

A third day, Saturday, will be devoted to a cultural visit to Coimbra and Conímbriga Ruins.
We propose Corpus/Corpora as the main theme, more specifically its dialectical relations between physical/individual/material body and social/collective/conceptual body. By motivating submissions on this subject, we intend to open up several corpora to multiple layers of instantiation, from a meditation on the body itself (thus playing with the relation between the literary “corpus” and the lived body) to an ethical assessment of the possibilities laid out by hermeneutics’ continuous reinterpretation of the classical heritage. Following that line of thought, bodily experiments linked to theatre or music are among our range.

In fact, without any chronological restriction, we welcome proposals exploring the reception of corpus/corpora in different areas, such as: literary texts (including their transmission and reception), philosophy, and arts (e.g. painting, sculpture, dance, cinema or television).

  • How does one envision the religious, social, economical, political and gendered expressions of the body?
  • How does a body see, understand and conceive another body?
  • How does a body relate to itself?

These are some of the many questions we intend to reflect upon.

We welcome abstracts for twenty-minute papers (250 words). 

​All proposals should be sent using the online form

 at https://ampraw2018.wixsite.com/home/call-for-papers by June 1st 2018.
