Recent scholarship on ancient Greek festivals has witnessed a major breakthrough in the \u201980s. In the wake of ground-breaking inquiries carried out by modern historians (Edward Muir, for instance), scholars of ancient history and literature began to capitalize on crucial insights developed particularly in the fields of anthropology (e.g. Turner, V. ed., Celebration: Studies in Festivity and Ritual. Washington (DC), 1982) and social sciences. In a seminal study devoted to Greek festivals, W.R. Connor (\u201cTribes, Festivals, and Processions: Civic Ceremonial and Political Manipulation in Archaic Greece.\u201d JHS 107 (1987): 40\u201350, at 41) argued that \u2018Civic rituals were commentaries on the city, its internal dynamics, and its relationship with the outside world. In commenting upon civic realities, the rituals illustrated an ideal arrangement of human relationships, created a homily that stimulated or altered some formal political and social ideas, and provided a medium for discourse among the constituent classes and the literate elite and the masses\u2019. Following Muir, Connor argued that, in ancient Greece as much as in Renaissance Venice, festivals and public ceremonies were \u2018part of the symbolic expression of civic concerns\u2019, \u2018a difficult to read but ultimately eloquent text about the nature of civic life\u2019.<\/div>\n
The Roma Tre workshop \u201cInterpreting Ancient Festivals: Identities in Motion in the Greek World\u201d aims to take one step further the metaphor of festivals and civil rituals as \u2018eloquent texts\u2019 by exploring its heuristic potential, especial in terms of creating, negotiating or contesting collective identities. How can we read these \u2018texts\u2019? Are they part of a larger \u2018language\u2019? Surely, festivals are multi-layered events that activate several types of language, often inextricably interconnected with each other; ritual acts, for instance, are carried out against the backdrop of civic or sacred spaces which are semantically charged in their own right. How is meaning created and\/or communicated within this larger framework? How does this communication frame relate to broader issues of either identity at different levels (e.g. social classes, individual cities, larger networks) or multiple identities (e.g. in cultural, social, political, religious terms)? How can our different approaches contribute to the collaborative effort of interpreting these complex phenomena?<\/div>\n
These are only a few questions we would like to explore during our workshop. We strongly encourage the dynamic interaction between all participants, who are specialists in different areas of expertise (archaeology, epigraphy, history, history of religions, literature). We do hope that the workshop will be also an occasion to discuss and develop methodologies across disciplinary boundaries.<\/div>\n
