Monthly meeting of the EVWRIT team to discuss and develop a new theoretical perspective towards communication practices in Antiquity.
Once a month from January 2019, the EVWRIT team will meet to discuss and develop a new theoretical perspective towards communication practices in Antiquity.
Theoretical sessions on fundamental aspects of novel methodologies (cognitive sociolinguistics, social semiotics, paléographie signifiante…) will be interchanged with practical ones (doing statistics, showing a database, presenting a paper…).
The reading group is open to anyone interested.
In this session of the reading group, we will discuss the possible social factors and meanings of spelling and spelling variations. The recommended literature for this session is the following:
- Sebba, Mark. 2015. Iconisation, attribution and branding in orthography. “Written Language & Literacy” 18 (2): 208-227.
- Sebba, Mark. 2012. Orthography as social action. Scripts, spelling, identity and power. In: Jaffe et al., “Orthography as social action. Scripts, spelling, identity and power”, 1-20.
- Sebba, Mark. 2012. Orthography as literacy. How Manx was “reduced to writing”. In: Jaffe et al., “Orthography as social action. Scripts, spelling, identity and power”, 161-176.
The session will be held in English.

A short abstract of the presentation:
During the early Palaeologan period great effort has been made in the Byzantine empire for the reestablishment and enrichment of the libraries that suffered losses and damage during the previous period of the so-called Latin occupation. At the same time new libraries have been founded in the remaining Byzantine territories by aristocratic and ecclesiastical authorities. This presentation examines a variety of sources (e.g. lists of manuscripts, historical accounts, testaments and epistles), which provide information about the availability and content of manuscripts in all public, monastic and private libraries that were active during the late Byzantine period (1261-1453). Previous research results have been collected, analyzed and reassessed, while at the same time new text editions and recent studies have been explored. This results in a better and broader view of the Byzantine libraries and the nature of their books during the Palaeologan era.
This course aims to introduce students of ancient languages (and earlier stages of modern languages) to a number of modern linguistic frameworks.
It can be followed as part of the doctoral schools program, but anyone interested is welcome.
