*Thucydides Global: Teaching, Researching, and Performing Thucydides*

Tuesday 30 April 2019, 12:30-19:00

Institute of Classical Studies, Room 349, Third Floor, Senate House, Malet
Street, London WC1E 7HU


An international workshop on Thucydides’ modern reception, organised by the
School of History, Archaeology and Religion of Cardiff University, Ancient
History at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany, and the Institute of Classical
Studies, School of Advanced Study, London, with the support of the Society
for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies (SPHS) and the Classical Association,
UK.


Why and how does Thucydides’ *History of the Peloponnesian War *continue to
invite dialogues between past, present and future? How do different
societies, educational systems, groups and individuals respond to it and
receive its historical lessons? Does Thucydides owe its lasting value and
relevance to its ability to resonate with global and local
crises? ‘Thucydides Trap’, a term coined recently to describe the
inevitability (the ‘deadly trap’) of war when power dynamics between major
international players shift, is a case in point. At local level, the
unprecedented interest in theatrical productions of Thucydides in Greece
from 2010 onwards (the ‘Greece of the Crisis’) will receive special
attention, as an artistic and intellectual response to social crisis.


*Attendance is free and all are welcome.*
