The 10th GRATUV International Forum on Greek and Roman Theatre and its Reception in Western Culture will be held in Valencia on 8 and 9 May.
The Grup de Recerca i Acció Teatral de la Universitat de València (GRATUV) announces a scientific interdisciplinary meeting to celebrate the X International GRATUV Forum 2025, which will focus on the main theme of Greek and Roman theatre and its reception in Western culture.
The primary objective of this event, which will take place on May 8 and 9, 2025, is to share the research results of the members of the research group, mainly focused on Greek and Latin theatre. It also aims to serve as a meeting point for both young researchers beginning their academic careers and recent PhD graduates, allowing them to present their work, reflections, ideas, or scientific viewpoints.
The central theme of the forum is Greek and Roman theatre and its reception, so the proposed papers should address some aspect related to Greek or Latin drama or its tradition in ancient or modern literatures. Therefore, all papers approaching ancient theatre from different perspectives —such as pragmatics, semantics, syntax, discourse analysis, epigraphy, comparative literature, didactics, papyrology, textual criticism, etc.— are welcome.
Those interested in participating in the forum should submit a summary of no more than 300 words to the address gratuv@uv.es, please including name, surname, institutional affiliation, and title of the proposal, before March 15, 2025. The presentations will last 20 minutes and can be delivered in any language commonly used in the scientific field. The acceptance of proposals will ultimately be decided by the forum’s scientific committee and will be communicated by April 1, 2025. Once proposals are accepted, the corresponding registration fee must be paid into the research group’s bank account (details will be provided in the acceptance email).
Registration:
- Standar certified assistant: 10€
- Presentation + meals: 60€
- Presentation + meals + closing dinner: 90€
