Perceptions of Writing in Papyri: Crossing Close and Distant Readings Online Conference
This online conference will analyze how digital culture has changed the perceptions of writing styles in papyri. Studies conducted by modern scholars have always been the main way of evaluating papyri, determining their dates and content. We will evaluate the current ways scholars view the aesthetics of papyri in a world where close and distant readings are intersecting more every day. Please submit paper proposals of ca. 300 words by April 30, 2023, to claire.clivaz@sib.swiss and i.marthot-santaniello@unibas.ch.

Orality and Literacy in the Ancient World CFP Closes
The Fifteenth Conference on Orality and Literacy in the Ancient World will take place in Ada, Ohio (US) from June 26–30, 2024. The theme for the conference is “Special Grammar.” Albert Lord used the phrase “special grammar” to refer to the verbal art used by South Slavic guslari, Homeric bards, and other performers of oral traditions and he asserted that this special grammar was an adaptation of practices in everyday conversation (Lord, Singer of Tales, 35-36). Papers in response to this theme are invited on topics related to the ancient Mediterranean world or, for comparative purposes, other times, places, and cultures. Papers should be 20 minutes in length. Anonymous abstracts of up to 350 words (not including bibliography) should be submitted as Word files by 31 December 2023. Please send abstracts to: r-person@onu.edu
