Call for papers
Classical Thought and the German Reich (1871-1945)
Online, 17th-18th September 2026
Deadline for submissions: 27th February 2026
This conference explores the development of classical thought in Germany from out of this important dispute between Wilamowitz and Nietzsche and within the political context of the unification of the German Reich in 1871, its progress until the First World War, the period of the Weimar Republic from 1919, and the rise and fall of National Socialism between 1933 and 1945. Ultimately, this conference asks how and in what ways did the question of Antiquity inform and influence the question of Germany throughout this turbulent period and, simultaneously, how did the German question inform the study and reception of Antiquity?
This conference will take place entirely online on September 17th-18th 2026. If you would like to present a paper at this conference, please send an abstract (300-500 words) to aaron.turner@knappfoundation.ac.uk by Friday 27th February 2026. Notifications will be sent out by mid-April.
