(Munich, 2001-09-10-13, Deadline for proposals: 2000-06-05)
A conference of Seminar fuer Geistesgeschichte und Philosophie der
Renaissance (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet, Munich)
You are invited to submit proposals for papers for a conference
about "Latin Germany - German latinity": The histories,
versions, variants, contexts, peculiarities, uses, significance,
momentus of Latin in "German" regions and territories.
Like the language viz. languages called "English" nowadays
for the whole world, Latin once was the "global" language of
western culture. With the end of antiquity it ceased to be a national
language spoken by native speakers and became an international
language used by natives from various regions for various
purposes. It was used not as a foreign language, but served as the
proper language for various purposes and contexts. Use for such
services brought about transformations and adaptations of Latin
according to functional and regional contexts. Latin became an
international language with regional instances. This conference
will be about Latin in "Germany" from the late middle ages to the
present. Because of the historical foci of the conference, papers
accepted for the conference can deal with phenomena from anywhere
in the "Sacrum Imperium" in its pre-Pax-Westphalica-borders.
We are planning for a conference with five semi-parallel sections
(each with one plenary lecture and 9 papers for a more specialised
audience). These sections will be about:
- The classical humanist tradition in Germany and its aftermath
(14th to 18th cent.)
- Peculiarities of the German use of Latin (14th to 18th cent.)
- Latin and the formation of German history (education, politics,
learning, sciences; 14th to 18th cent.)
- Latin in Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries
- Transversal aspects (regions, functions, transformations; 14th
to 20th cent.)
For further information about these sections and other aspects of
the conference: see:
