Conference announcement: Plutarch lived in the multicultural yet increas- increas-ingly interconnected world of the Roman empire: a world in which diverse local,

linguistic, religious, and political identities were combined with a common educa-tion and culture as well as shared everyday experiences. This sense of interconnect-edness is apparent in Plutarch’s works in a number of ways, such as in the inclusion of speakers from various backgrounds in dialogues and the exploration of Roman history and culture alongside that of Greece. There is an abundance of parallels be-tween Plutarch and other imperial-period writers with backgrounds that differed from his, reflecting their shared cultural participation. This conference seeks to discuss Plutarch’s works within the broader context of imperial-period literature and to ex-plore overlaps and points of intersection between Plutarch and other ancient authors of the 1st and 2nd c. CE, including Greek and Roman as well as pagan and Chris-tian writers (including, for instance, Dio Chrysostom, Arrian, and Lucian; Seneca, Quintilian, the two Plinies; Christian apologists and the early Church Fathers).

We welcome contributions of a comparative nature investigating convergences and variations, parallels and modifications in themes, formats, and literary techniques in Plutarch and other authors of the early empire. We also invite submissions reflecting on the value and potential of such a perspective: does it allow us to identify the cultural and literary background Plutarch and other authors shared and distinguish it from their indi-vidualizing modifications, agendas, and preoccupations? To what extent does it allow us to define distinctive features of the Plutarchan corpus and thought? And, more generally, how does a comparative approach contribute to our understanding of the literary and intellectual culture of the early imperial period?

5) Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: philosoph-ical and religious concepts and ideas; use of literary motifs, topoi, and exempla; use of genres, literary formats, rhetorical and narrative strategies; stylistic and linguistic characteristics and tendencies; attitudes towards Rome and Roman domination; atti-tudes towards the Greek past and its cultural heritage.

6) Submissions Paper proposals of ca. 300 words are to be sent to plutarch2020@

gmail.com before the deadline of December 1, 2019. The participants will be notified of the acceptance of their proposals by March 1st 2020. Membership of the International Plutarch Society is not required.
