Colloquium for Ancient Rhetoric 2024 Spring
Colloquium<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calenda…
Fri., May 3, 12 – 2 p.m.
Via Zoom (registration required)
"Writing Histories of Greco-Roman Rhetoric: A Forward-Looking Reappraisal of
Kennedy’s
A New History of Classical Rhetoric"
Join us for CAR’s Spring Colloquium, featuring six distinguished panelists in a critical
reappraisal of Kennedy’s New History of Classical rhetoric. Is there a need for larger
narratives on ancient rhetoric? Which audiences should such macroscopic work address?
Which areas are over- or under-emphasized in the study of the history of ancient rhetoric?
Where might such a study successfully intersect with other categories of analysis, such as
social history, gender, reception, performance, literary aesthetics, and the visual
arts?
Featuring Rita Copeland, Jaś Elsner, Jon Hesk, Michele Kennerly, Alexander Riehle, and
Henriette van der Blom.
