DESCRIPTION:<p>The interplay between culture and space in ancient thought is&nbsp\;manifested in many ways. Not only are artistic and literary features&nbsp\;envisioned and understood in spatial terms\, but physical spaces are&nbsp\;also imagined and explored through cultural expression. This&nbsp\;interaction is found in all forms of the representation of spaces -&nbsp\;textual\, verbal\, pictoral\, architectural. Alex Purves' recent study of&nbsp\;space and narrative highlights this approach: "Plot's spatial legacy&nbsp\;is pervasive in ancient Greek thought\, where songs might be conceived&nbsp\;as pathways\, logoi as routes\, writing as the movement of oxen turning&nbsp\;back and forth across a field with a plough...\, narratives as pictures&nbsp\;or landscapes\, and plots even as living creatures that take up set&nbsp\;areas of space."<br><br>As scholars of Classical antiquity\, we find ourselves at the mercy of&nbsp\;representation to shape and inform our understanding of spaces -&nbsp\;landscapes\, buildings\, voyages\, rooms - which are no longer knowable&nbsp\;by any other means. At the same time\, our understanding of cultural&nbsp\;expression is often enriched by our ability to comprehend it in&nbsp\;spatial terms.<br><br>Contact:&nbsp\;utoronto.grad.classics@gmail.com</a></p>
