We are working on an edited
volume based on a conference entitled The Reception of Greek and Roman Culture
in East Asia: Texts & Artefacts, Institutions & Practices organized by
Professor Renger in Berlin in July, 2013. In this volume, we attempt to explore
the reception(s) of Greek and Roman culture in East Asia from antiquity to the
present. That is, we seek to explore the movement and transmission of knowledge
between Western antiquity and East Asia as well as the circulation of this
knowledge within East Asia. In particular, we are interested in the questions of
how and why ancient Greek and Roman texts, images, and material cultures, and
the knowledge and ideas contained within them have been adapted and refigured in
East Asian texts, imagery, and cultural artefacts. This peer-reviewed volume has
been contracted with Brill, and we plan to publish by late 2014 or early
2015.
We are currently seeking papers that address, in particular,
the reception of Western classical culture in Korea and Japan. If you are
interested in contributing to this volume, please contact us by sending a paper
proposal of 500 words, and a short bio or C.V., to Dr. Xin Fan, xin.fan@fredonia.edu, by December 21,
2013.
