presentPasts

Description

presentPasts is a forum for exchange and collaboration in research and teaching dedicated to cross-temporal receptions, transhistorical traditions, and cultural interactions across time, within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at King's College London. Its areas of particular strength are classical reception and the classical tradition (engagements with Greek and Roman antiquity), medievalism (engagements with medieval cultures), and biblical reception and Christianity and the arts (engagements with biblical and Jewish-Christian literature and culture). Its aim is to overcome the double siloisation of such research into disciplines, on the one hand, and into discrete subfields, on the other. By enabling dialogue between researchers who share an interest in transhistorical reception studies but are working in different disciplines or on different source and target cultures, the network seeks to explore and discuss shared methodological challenges and theoretical questions, shared political and critical agendas, and shared opportunities for public engagement and knowledge dissemination.
