ONE-DAY COLLOQUIUM SATURDAY 10 MARCH 2007
CORPUS CHRISTI COLLEGE, OXFORD
Meaningful remains: working with literary fragments from early Rome


A one-day colloquium on working with literary fragments from early Rome will
be held at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, organized by Gesine Manuwald
(Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg) and Costas Panayotakis (University of
Glasgow) under the auspices of the Corpus Christi College Centre for the
Study of Greek and Roman Antiquity on Saturday 10th March 2007.

The purpose of this conference is to highlight the problems scholars are
confronted with when working with literary genres partly preserved in
fragments, to demonstrate the importance of including fragmentary works into
the study of the respective genre and thus of Roman literature, to look at
the advantages and the dangers in comparing authors whose text survives in
fragments with authors (of the same genre) whose text survives in complete
form, and to discuss what may be established for the works surviving in
fragments and for the whole genre despite the fragmentary nature of the
evidence.

Speakers will either discuss the problems which a literary genre or an
aspect of this genre presents for interpretation in view of the extant
fragmentary evidence, or deal with the general question of working with
fragments with regard to their respective genre or author.

Papers should last for 30 minutes at most, allowing 20 minutes for
discussion.

The programme is as follows:

10:15 Coffee and Registration

10:45 Opening Remarks

10:50 Adrian Hollis (Keble College, Oxford): on fragmentary Hellenistic and
Roman didactic poems

11:40 Matthew Leigh (St Anne’s College, Oxford): on tragic fragments and
Roman comedy

12:30 Lunch

13:30 Sander Goldberg (UCLA): on Roman epic

14.20 Anna Chahoud (Trinity College, Dublin): on Roman satire

15:10 Tea

15:40 Christopher Smith (University of St Andrews): on Roman oratory

16:30 Tim Cornell (University of Manchester): on Roman historiography

17:20 – 17:45 Concluding discussion led by Elaine Fantham (Princeton)
(followed by drinks)


The colloquium is open to all. There will be a small charge of £12.50 (not
applicable to graduates of Corpus Christi and to speakers): this will
contribute to the cost of lunch and refreshments.
We shall also book a table for a meal at a local restaurant afterwards. If
anyone would like to come to this dinner, please let Costas
(c.panayotakis@classics.arts.gla.ac.uk) or Gesine
(gesine.manuwald@altphil.uni-freiburg.de) know in advance. Those wishing to
make a booking for the conference should write to Professor Stephen
Harrison, Corpus Christi College, Oxford, OX1 4JF, UK
(stephen.harrison@corpus-christi.oxford.ac.uk), enclosing a payment of
£12.50 if appropriate (UK bank cheque preferred; overseas visitors can pay
in cash on the day). Cheques should be made payable to Corpus Christi
College, Oxford'. Bookings should be made by February 28th 2007.
