CFP: BOETHIUS AND COMMUNITIES
The International Boethius Society is an organisation which has, since 1992, promoted scholarship on all aspects of the work, influence and age of Boethius, especially through the IBS journal, Carmina Philosophiae.
The challenges of how properly to critique, rethink, make and organise a community and not least how to be a virtuous member of one – are central to the problematics, authority and distinctiveness of Boethius’s De consolatione philosophiae and the tradition it brought about throughout medieval Europe over several centuries. For the proposed session(s), focusing on the IMC 2027 theme of Communities, we warmly invite papers from all disciplinary perspectives on any aspect of communities relating to Boethian tradition. Proposals falling outside this theme are also invited.
Please submit an abstract of no more than 200 words and a short biography of no more than 150 words to Ian Johnson irj@st-andrews.ac.uk by 23 September. All proposals should include your name, e-mail address and academic affiliation. Proposals are welcome from researchers at any career stage. Please address any queries to Ian Johnson at the above e-mail address.
