The research group RELICS will be organising an online roundtable discussion on the future of Latin Studies.
2nd of February 2023
The monthly blog series ‘In Focus’ is conceived as a way to show the scope and diversity of the RELICS research group. Each blog post one of us will reflect on a current or recently finished project, and how it connects to the aims and vision of RELICS. Through this, by drawing from our own personal experience, we want to show in which ways Latin cosmopolitanism came to the fore from antiquity until modern times. This month: Elodie Paillard on Roman literary drama.
RELICS was awarded a royal grant for the establishment of a Scientific Research Unit by the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO)! The so-called WOG, entitled “Literatures without Borders. A Historical-Comparative Study of Premodern Literary Transnationality” will allow RELICS to coordinate international collaboration for a period of 5 years (with possible extensions).
