You are kindly invited to an interdisciplinary and international conference hosted by the DFG Research Training Group 2792. The conference will focus on the strategies and intentions in heteronomous texts in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Heteronomy is defined as intentional dependence of one text on others. The new text, whether it is a commentary or an excerpt, acknowledges the norm set by another text. Examining how this acknowledgement is expressed in the text provides new insights into its autonomous role and significance.

If you have any questions about our conference, you can reach us at recreate-texts@uni-jena.de. For general questions about the RTG 2792 please refer to heteronome.texte@uni-jena.de.

This year's international summer school deals with the topic of "Heteronomous Texts in the Ancient and Medieval History of Science. Medicine, Philosophy and further Arts and Sciences".
