Prolepsis’ 5th International Conference – 17th-18th December 2020 Università degli Studi di Bari “Aldo Moro”

« Prolepsis: Predicting, Anticipating, Foretelling from Antiquity to the Renaissance »

Keynote speaker: Prof. Patrick Finglass (University of Bristol)

17th-18th December 2020 Università degli Studi di Bari “Aldo Moro”.

Τὴν πρόληψιν λέγουσιν οἱονεὶ κατάληψιν
ἢ δόξαν ὀρθὴν ἢ ἔννοιαν ἢ καθολικὴν νόησιν ἐναποκειμένην.
(D.L. X 33)
“By preconception they mean a sort of apprehension
or a right opinion or notion, or universal idea stored in the mind”.
(Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers, ed. R.D. Hicks, Cambridge 1925).

Prolepsis Association is delighted to announce its fifth international conference whose theme will be the concept of prolepsis itself: we chose this theme as an ideal conclusion to the five-year work of the present boarding committee. We would like to use Diogenes Laertius’ quotation as a starting point for a discussion on the vast number of issues related to predicting, anticipating, and foretelling throughout a period that goes from Classical antiquity to the Renaissance. This year the conference will be particularly keen on – but not limited to – the following topics:

●    Apocalyptic and visionary literature, oracles;
●    Divination arts;
●    Prophecies and prophetic characters in various literary genres;
●    Spoiler and its perception;
●    Modern attributions of foreshadows to ancient authors;
●    The literary technique of prolepsis;
●    Proleptic pronouns and their special uses, rhetorical figures (hysteron proteron, anastrophe, figures dealing     with word order);
●    Premonitory dreams;
●    Prequel;
●    Political foreshadowing, politicians claiming to be ahead of times, historical     figures who were actually ahead of their times;
●    Anacyclosis (especially regimes preparing following governments);
●    Misplaced fascicles, reclamantes;
●    Transpositions, accidental shifts forward (e. g. books in a work, or works in a corpus);
●    Unveiling alleged literary foreshadowing;
●    Preparatory works (notes, drafts, hypomnemata, proekdoseis);
●    Prolepsis as philosophical concept.

Colloque « Monumental Painting in Byzantium and Beyond: New Perspectives » – Dumbarton Oaks (4 novembre 2016)

Byzantine Studies Colloquium

Monumental Painting in Byzantium and Beyond: New Perspectives
November 4, 2016 08:30 AM to 06:00 PM

The Oak Room, Fellowship House, 1700 Wisconsin Avenue NW

Monumental Painting in Byzantium and Beyond: New Perspectives

Contact: | Phone: 202-339-6940

The study of Byzantine monumental painting is ripe for critical assessment. While research into monumental pictorial art in countries such as Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, the Republic of Macedonia, and increasingly Turkey remains a mainstay of art historical inquiry, in the United States this area of study has received less attention in recent years. Yet the monumental painting of the Byzantine world holds great potential for future research, not least because the material is tremendously rich and continues to be expanded with the discovery and publication of new pictorial ensembles.

This colloquium, organized by Ivan Drpić and Tolga Uyar, brings together new voices and well-established scholars to reinvigorate the study of Byzantine monumental painting. It will foster dialogue and pose new questions about reception, materiality, and the interplay of different representational forms and systems of signification. Topics range from how paintings evoked sound, to the role of liturgical practices, visual narrative, and non-figural imagery in decorated sacred spaces, to collaboration and interaction between patrons, architects, painters, and theological advisers. While some papers will focus on specific sacred landscapes such as Naxos and Cappadocia, others draw wide-ranging connections across Byzantium, the Slavic world, and the Mediterranean.
