OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Reading In and Out of Order in the Roman Mediterranean
What did it mean to read ‘in order’ in the Roman Mediterranean? Readers in the early centuries CE used a variety of conceptual strategies (e.g., pedagogy, sortilege, lectionaries) and material technologies (e.g., sectioning, tables of contents, cross-references) to orient encounters with written texts. These practices invite us to interrogate broader ideas of ‘order’—of language, of time, of cosmos, of society—that shaped textuality and knowledge in Mediterranean antiquity. This workshop brings together scholars of classics, early Judaism, and early Christianity. To facilitate a rich discussion, written materials will be precirculated to registered participants.
