The Papyrus and the Hypertext. Athenaeus in the Scholarly Kitchen

05.05.2012, ANHIMA
INHA, 2 rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris
Salle Vasari, 9h-17h

Organisers: Aurélien BERRA & Christian JACOB

This one-day conference aims at fostering a dialogue about Athenaeus' Deipnosophists between classicists – whether philologists or historians – and digital humanists. The study of this complex work has been renewed and intensified for fifteen years: international conferences; editions and translations; projects dealing with intertextuality and fragmentary traditions; relevance for a historical anthropology of scholarly practices and erudition techniques.

As an occasion to share our reflections, this conference will combine a specific state of the art and prospective discussions about the horizon of our disciplines: what methods, tools and environments do we think adequate to study Athenaeus today?

More generally, our ambition is to enhance closer relationships between researchers and teams interested in this author. In order to build such an international network, it seems worth while to express our needs, problems and scholarly dreams.
