OSLO, Workshop: The texts of the medical profession in antiquity - genres and purposes
Workshop: The texts of the medical profession in antiquity - genres and purposes, to be held at the University of Oslo, 16th-18th September 2010
Organisers: Isabella Andorlini (University of Parma); David Leith (University College London) and Anastasia Maravela-Solbakk (University of Oslo)
Confirmed speakers: Heinrich Von Staden (Princeton), Vivian Nutton (UCL), Philip van der Eijk (Newcastle), Laurence Totelin (Cardiff), Rebecca Flemming (Cambridge), Ann Ellis Hanson (Yale).
We are inviting the submission of abstracts for papers (duration: 20-30 min.) to be presented at the workshop ”The texts of the medical profession in antiquity: genres and purposes” (16-18 September 2010 in Oslo, Norway). The papers may deal with any text or group of medical texts from Graeco-Roman antiquity as long as what is in focus are issues of genre, cross-generic relations and/ or purpose. We are particularly interested in discussions of generic features and classification as well as the purpose of medical texts recovered on papyri. We are also keen on papers exploring the term ”handbook” both within medicine and in comparison with the use of the term for other prose texts.
Please submit your abstract by March 1st, 2010 to:
