Seneca 2022 --- SPECIAL/FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

The Centre for Classical Studies of the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon is organizing an International Conference on Seneca to promote and encourage a critical reflection on the permanence of themes, values, perspectives and representations of Seneca’s works in Western literature and culture.
The Conference will take place between 17-20 October 2022, and, through the interdisciplinary debate of the contribution given by the experiences of researchers from different fields of study, it aims to:
- determine how Seneca became one of the most prominent figures in Western culture;
- consider, examine and reflect on our current knowledge about Seneca, his life and works;
- explore new study angles and what remains to be said about Seneca in the Twenty-First Century, in light of the renewed interest shown in his works.
