Meeting Description: 

The Greek word hypokritês and its English counterpart actor, taken together,
describe well the active nature of speech in language generally and drama in
particular: the characters on stage (and the actors for them) fight and strike
deals, they humiliate and elevate--both each other and themselves--, they
conceive plans and implement their intrigues, often through words alone.
Moreover, by speaking they convey to the audience an idea of their characters,
their concerns, and their relations. The study of language in its
context-specific use and the analysis of conversation grant access to this
dimension of the dramatic text; they permit going beyond the level of what is
said and giving relevance of the ways in which it is said. 

This conference will explore the pragmatic dimension of Greek and Latin
dramatic texts, its use for literary interpretation, and the way it is
reflected upon. Its aim is to define the current state of the field, identify
future directions of research, and measure the potential of the contribution
that pragmatic analysis can bring to the study of ancient drama. We also
welcome papers that offer a comparative perspective with modern drama.
