Appel à contribution – UBA Byzantine Colloquium

First UBA Byzantine Colloquium
« BYZANTINAI AKOAI: Reading and Writing in Byzantium »


20th-21st August 2015, Buenos Aires

The aim of this international colloquium is to explore the ways of reading and writing in the Byzantine Empire. Special attention will be paid to the material production and circulation of texts, the emergence of a specifically Byzantine readership, the role of education and rhetoric in the constitution of such a readership, and the reception of classical genres. We particularly encourage presentations that underscore the perspective of the reading public.

For more information, please consult the flyer (in Spanish) or contact the organizing committee. Abstracts and presentations in English or other languages are warmly welcomed; however, the default language of the colloquium will be Spanish.
