Conference ‘Shaping Authority’ (Leuven, Dec 2013)
LECTIO, the Leuven Centre for the study of the transmission of texts and ideas in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, kindly invites you to attend the next Conference, entitled ‘Shaping Authority’. How did a person become an authority in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance?
In this two-day conference (see the digital flyer with schedule) we will focus on the mechanisms and strategies by which participants in intellectual life at large have shaped the authority of historical persons; and which circumstances have led to the disintegrations of the authority of persons previously considered to be authoritative.
This conference takes place on Thursday 5th and Friday 6th December 2013 in the Leuven Institute for Ireland in Europe, Janseniusstraat 1, 3000 Leuven.
For more information, please find the attached invitation with a short program and the conference website http://ghum.kuleuven.be/lectio/conference-shaping-authority
Participation is free, but please register in advance by filling out the online registration form on the conference website http://ghum.kuleuven.be/lectio/conferenceshapingauthority/inschrijvingconference
We kindly thank you for sending this invitation to your academic network.
