Teaching and learning classical languages ​​in the 21st century require a space for reflection and dialogue in which professors and students share the successful pedagogical experiences gathered in the course of their formative practices and processes, as well as their linguistic research and the implications that these have on teaching-learning dynamics, since their spreading enriches and renews the educational process. This is explained by the fact that both teachers and students have their own strategies that allow them to spread, understand, and gain knowledge of classical languages more efficiently. These strategies, when shared with others, can be assessed and enhanced so that other people can use them. What is more, the development of Foreign Language teaching methodologies has gained momentum in recent decades, due to the advances in applied linguistics and research on language acquisition. For these reasons, these methodologies can be adapted with excellent results in teaching-learning processes of classical languages. Likewise, considering affective factors may contribute to a better learning environment in the classroom. At the same time, Learning and Knowledge Technologies (LKT) have significantly contributed to an improvement in learning through platforms and apps, making the learning of languages more enjoyable and interactive. The purpose of this Conference is to open up an appropriate space for sharing the experiences and knowledge of teachers and students so that principles and work lines can be established for the design of better curricula.

Professors and students of classical languages ​​and cultures are invited to present workshops, thematic panels, or papers related to the Conference objectives. Priority will be given to submissions concerning research findings.

A non-exhaustive list of suggested topics is included below:

Grammar and lexicon

  • New pragmatics-based approaches and the active use of the language for teaching grammar
  • New lexicographical tools: term-specific dictionaries, illustrated dictionaries, online dictionaries, etc.
  • Alternative methodologies for learning vocabulary

Cultural elements

  • Including cultural aspects in classroom lessons: art, literature, history, music, etc.
  • Multiculturalism and interculturality

Curricular design

  • Planning and designing lesson plans
  • New manuals for teaching classical languages
  • Graded readings

Educational resources

  • Innovative methodologies and activities
  • Use of LKT for classical languages

Affective component

Description

Greek philosophers cultivated and developed dialogue as a literary genre, and considered lively conversation a method of exposition, research, analysis of ideas, as well as a valid way of building arguments. According to Aristotle (fr. 65, 72 Rose, ap. D.L. 3.48, 8.57, 9.25), Zeno was the inventor (εὑρητής) of dialectics and the first to write dialogues (Test. 14 Diels-Kranz). Testimonies also tell us about a dialogue entitled ΤΡΩΙΚΟΣ (fr. 5) written by Hippias (Test. 2 Diels-Kranz), of which only the title and a very brief summary are preserved (cf. Philostr. VS 1.11). In fact, Plato’s forty-two dialogues (authentic and apocryphal) are testimony to the consolidation of a literary genre, a form of reasoning, and exercise of philosophy, which had a notable impact on later philosophical works. Indeed, the staging of characters with different points of view facilitates the treatment of all sorts of philosophical and non-philosophical topics, as we can see in authors such as Cicero, Seneca, Plutarch, Lucian, Athenaeus, Boethius, Erasmus, Fray Luis de León, Luis Vives, Diderot, Lessing, etc.

The construction and elaboration of discourse by means of dialogue are not exclusive to philosophy. That exchanging game between characters was also present in tragedy and comedy, since the performance of speech and dialogue is inherent to drama. Other literary genres show elements of dialogue that not only lend liveliness to the action, but interrogate, argue, and thereby promote reflection on human behavior and nature, through identification between readers or listeners and characters. In the first book of the Iliad, Chryses, priest of Apollo, tries to persuade the Achaeans to free his daughter and faces the vehement opposition of Agamemnon. The archaic poets, especially the iambographers, exploited this literary device to highlight their emotions, even when this device reached its splendor in the theater of the classical period. Likewise, historians reproduced dialogues to lend authenticity to their historical narratives and rhetoricians also made use of dialogue as an expressive resource. Christians and the learned people of later times, assimilated dialogue as an instrument of promoting moral and theological principles. In this way, dialogue became the form of pedagogical instruction par excellence.

The expressive wealth of dialogue presents itself in numerous artistic and intellectual ways. The encounters between emotional and aesthetic resources, pedagogical and didactic purposes, as well as between claims of objectivity and scientific rigor, are fertile ground for the transdisciplinary inquiry characteristic of classical studies. This invites a diversity and multiplicity of perspectives for contributions in relation to ancient authors and their works. Investigating the history of dialogue since antiquity also allows us to consider it as an archetype for the exchange of opinions and ideas. This is suitable for dealing with current problems that increasingly require the willingness to negotiate and rethink ideas and convictions, empathize with the feelings of others, and build agreements based on the examination of opposing arguments and points of view.

In addition, research on dialogue has been one of the most precious interests for the professor honored with this conference, Giselle von der Walde Uribe. She developed most of her teaching and research activity at the University of Los Andes and her interest in this subject is reflected in her papers and book chapters on this subject: “El diálogo entre las ciencias y las humanidades. Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad”, Texto y Contexto, 20 (1993), 57-64; “¿Qué tipo de mimesis es el diálogo platónico?”, in Jorge Rojas (ed.), II Jornadas Filológicas: Jorge Páramo, In Memoriam, Bogotá: Universidad Nacional-Universidad de los Andes, 2004, 137-150; “El diálogo platónico y las críticas a la escritura en el Fedro”, in Jorge Rojas (ed.), I Jornadas Filológicas In Memoriam Juozas Zaranka, Bogotá: Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2003, 73-81; and “Formas del callar y formas del filosofar en los diálogos de madurez de Platón”, en Sergio Ariza y Catalina González (eds.), Boulê. Ensayos en filosofía política y del discurso en la Antigüedad, Bogotá: Ediciones Uniandes, 2012,193-202.

Thus, for this tenth Conference on Classical Philology, we invite all scholars of classical culture and its reception to submit proposals in one of the following suggested thematic areas (the list is not exhaustive):

  • Structure of ancient dialogues
  • Dialogic literary fiction
  • Philosophical uses of dialogue
  • Rhetorical models of dialogue
  • Functions of argumentation and counter-argumentation in dialogue
  • Representations of dialogue in art
  • Pedagogical contexts and formative uses of dialogue
  • Contributions of dialogue to peace and conflict resolution
  • Survival and influence of ancient dialogues today

Thematic panels

Thematic panels should consist of presentations about one central issue, a research problem, or a particular author. These panels should be composed of 3 to 5 people; they should have a maximum length of 2 hours, including discussion with the public. The panels will have a coordinator who will give a brief presentation of the proposed ideas (maximum 100 words) and an abstract of the papers (between 150 and 300 words). This is an ideal space for presenting the work of research groups or research initiatives.

Presentations

Those interested in participating with a presentation that is not not part of a thematic panel, should send an abstract not exceeding 300 words for a paper of 20 minutes followed by a 10-minute discussion.

Timetable

Reception of proposals: February 29 – August 8
Evaluation of proposals: August
Notification of results: August 29
All proposals received will be evaluated anonymously by a committee.
Although the format of the Conference is currently set out as hybrid, we might be affected  by changes  due to current health conditions.
