Call for papers
Text, Tradition, and Transformation in Late Antiquity and the Early Modern
Period: Intertextual Practices in Comparison
International conference
Munich, 19-21 November 2026
Deadline for submissions: 31 January 2026
This conference will take a comparative look at Late antiquity and the Early modern period, when authorities of the past were emphasised across cultures in Latin and Greek literature, but also had to be renegotiated. These authorities were not only simply accepted but also transformed in new contexts. The underlying practices and objectives will be analysed and compared during the conference. In addition, the conference will examine the possibilities and trends of contemporary philological methods, especially digital ones, in the study of intertextual phenomena for our own methodological reflection.
We cordially invite to attend the international conference organised by the Cluster of Excellence (EXC 3061) Cross-Cultural Philology at Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich (LMU Munich) from Thursday, 19 November to Saturday, 21 November 2026 in Munich. Contributions from established researchers and early-career scholars of all relevant disciplines in German or English are welcome. Please submit an outline of your presentation (max. 1 page) and a short CV by 31 January 2026 to marco.besl@lmu.de. Feedback will be provided in February 2026. Presentations should last 25–30 minutes, followed by a 15-minute discussion. Travel and accommodation expenses can be covered.
