SCIENTIA Conference

Non-expert dealings with science in the ancient and pre-modern Mediterranean

The sociology of science, including explorations of its audiences and the interactions with other knowledges and actors, has been an extremely productive area in the historiography of modern science in the last decades. The research group ‘SCIENTIA-Scientific Texts and Ideas in the pre-modern Mediterranean area’ (Universitat de Barcelona) aims to bring to the fore discussions of these topics in the domain of the ancient, medieval, and pre-modern sciences, in which historiography has been traditionally centered on authors. Papers are welcome on the variegated themes related to these issues, comprising (not exhaustively):

  • demarcation of scientific and mathematical discourses by philosophical and religious scholars
  • establishment of curricula
  • circulation of specialized, scientific knowledge and works in more general milieux
  • discussion of the epistemological value of scientific disciplines and subdisciplines
  • interactions between science and literature
  • degrees of specialization/vulgarization in ancient scientific texts
  • scientific compendia
  • scientific intrusion (unqualified scientists acting as such)
  • satire and humor on scientific topics

 Proposals should consist of 600 words maximum abstracts describing the subject, perspective and aims of the paper. They should be sent to the selection committee by the end of November 2022: congres.greekpoet.proposals@ub.edu.  We hope to announce the program by the end of January 2023.

The conference will take place on site, but links will be provided to view the presentations online (registration will be required). Speakers will be offered free accommodation and meals, but no contribution can be made to travel expenses.

Initially we prospect 30-40 min. presentations followed by discussion (either discussion of individual papers or general discussion at the end of the sessions). Please note that this initial prospect may change according to the kind and amount of proposals.

The core subject of the conference is the figure of the poet in archaic and classical Greece, from a variety of perspectives, such as the inner perspective of the poets in their own poetry; other contemporary Greek views on their poets; the views of later ancient Greeks on their classics. We also encourage a comparative perspective with other ancient and modern societies.
