Evelien Bracke and Koen De Temmerman warmly invite you to a symposium on ancient narrative and its reception, organized in tribute to the late Prof. Saiichiro Nakatani (1972-2023).

Speakers have been invited to present a scholarly paper on a topic related to Prof. Nakatani’s work on ancient fiction, its reception, or the reception of Classics in Japan more broadly. This symposium aims to commemorate Prof. Nakatani and celebrate his work and contributions to these fields of study.

The symposium will take place on 14th March 2025, from 10am to 4pm CET. The event will take place live at Ghent University, but online attendees are also welcome. 

To attend the symposium, please register by Friday 14th February 2025 by emailing evelien.bracke@ugent.be. Please mention whether you would like to attend in person or online.
