The Lisbon Flavian Seminars commenced in 2020 as a forum for Flavian scholars to share their research ideas online during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organizers have continued the Seminars on an occasional basis for scholars who are interested in the Flavian era. In 2023 we have scheduled three seminars so far:
First Lisbon Flavian Seminar (January)
Speaker: Adalberto Magnavacca (University of Geneva)
Title: “‘(In)scripti Pueri, (In)scriptae Puellae’: Mimetic Desire and Intertextuality in the Corpus Priapeorum”
Date: 27 January 2023 (Friday)
Time: 17:00 (Lisbon time)
Second Lisbon Flavian Seminar (March)
Speaker: Lauren Ginsberg (Duke University)
Title: “Sites of Memory, Sites of Violence: The Catalogue of Julio-Claudian Women in the Octavia”
Date: 24 March 2023 (Friday)
Time: 17:00 (Lisbon time)
Third Lisbon Flavian Seminar (May)
Speaker: Rosario Moreno Soldevila (Pablo de Olavide University of Seville)
Title: “Women of Letters in Martial’s Epigrams”
Date: 26 May 2023 (Friday)
Time: 17:00 (Lisbon time)
Each session of the Lisbon Flavian Seminars is envisaged as a meeting point for all scholars who are interested in the Flavian era. All scholars who wish to participate in these online seminars are welcome to register with us. A Zoom link will be sent to all registrants a day or so prior to each seminar. You can send a request for registration to one of the organizers below. If you have previously registered for the Lisbon Flavian Seminars, you do not need to send us another request unless you have not received a response from the organizers, in which case we kindly request that you contact us again. (If you wish to remove your name from the list of registrants, you need only to send us a brief e-mail message to request this.)
We hope that these online seminars will contribute to the discussion of issues of the Flavian era, including in such areas as literature, history, and archaeology, which are of concern to scholars working in this area at a time when we are all constrained by the coronavirus from attending conferences and seminars in person.
