International Summer School in Latin Literature
Reading Roman Reciprocity: Reziprozität in der Römischen Literatur
(Heidelberg, 29 July – 6 August 2014)

On behalf of the Classics department Heidelberg, we are delighted to
announce the first Heidelberg International Summer School in Latin
Literature. In the stimulating surroundings of Heidelberg in summer,
we want to gather students of different backgrounds to discuss a
central concept of Roman literature and culture.
Reciprocity is a widespread and diverse phenomenon in Rome around the
turn of the millenium. Not only was Roman society permeated by the
patron-client system, but the literature itself also abounds in
different modes of social reciprocity. The course consists of seminar
sessions and a couple of evening lectures (including Dr Chris
Whitton). We will examine a broad selection of texts from various
genres of Roman literature produced (roughly) between 100 BCE and 100
CE; we will also consider some seminal modern theory of reciprocity.

Applications are invited from students in the first four years of
their studies.

modalities) can be found here:
