International Workshop
organised by
Mariangela Masullo,University of Macerata
Arturo Monaco, Sapienza University of Rome
The workshop will explore the phenomenon of the reception of Greek myths in Arabic literature, not only through the analysis of hitherto neglected works and writers, but above all through a reflection on the politics and aesthetics of their reception, translation, circulation, and re-creation.
The workshop aims to stimulate debate on different types of text, including poetry, plays, fiction, translations, essays in periodicals, as well as in oral literature, music, cinema and the visual arts. The main focus is modern and contemporary Arabic literary production (1800-today), but special sessions will be dedicated to the reception of Greek myths in premodern Arabic literature and in the literature in languages that have interacted with Arabic for a very long time.
The workshop will be held at Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia, Sapienza University of Rome, Piazzale Aldo Moro 5.
