Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment
International Medieval Congress
Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.

Nantes
Call for papers - Prehistory and Antiquity
International Conference "Dion of Prusa: The Man, His Work And His Posterity"
Le colloque vise à réévaluer l'image de l'orateur et philosophe Dion de Pruse, en explorant les multiples facettes de son talent littéraire, de sa biographie, de la transmission et de la réception de son œuvre. C'est en effet l'image globale de l'auteur ancien dans sa complexité patente qui sera prise en compte, car elle nécessite encore une étude approfondie, sur la base des découvertes récentes dans tous les domaines des sciences de l'Antiquité. Le colloque dionéen de Nantes comprendra plusieurs axes de recherche, notamment les cinq suivants: 1) Les aspects biographiques et le rôle joué par Dion dans l'Empire romain. 2) La pensée. 3) Les aspects rhétoriques et littéraires. 4) Les aspects linguistiques et stylistiques. 5) La tradition et la fortune.
