Organizers: Peter Kelly (Princeton) and Darja Šterbenc Erker (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)
Venue: Classics Department Seminar Room, Princeton University

The workshop is the first in a series of events organized by Dr. habil. Darja Šterbenc Erker (Berlin) and Prof. Peter Kelly within the project Classics and the Contemporary Imagination: Ekphrasis. This Princeton University-Humboldt University collaboration seeks to extend the partnership between the Classics department in Princeton and the Institut für Klassische Philologie of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin through establishing a new venture on Classics and the Contemporary Imagination, beginning with two workshops on ekphrasis in 2024 and 2025, frequently defined as the literary description of a visual object, especially a painting, statue, or other artwork. The collaboration adopts a new approach to ekphrasis as a literary device which is not tied to visual art but is an expression of the power of verbal art to make visual worlds come to life in a moment of metamorphosis. This project establishes ekphrasis as a new paradigm for challenging the interfaces between the ancient and modern and exploring the interconnections between the experience of literary and visual representation in texts from a variety of genres.
