Witnesses and Evidence

Information and Decision Making in Drama and Oratory  

March 27-29th 2018

Second International Conference on Drama and Oratory

About the Conference

This three-day international conference, as well as celebrating the notable multi-disciplinary contribution of the Kalamata Centre for Ancient Rhetoric and Drama (C.A.R.D.) and its wide-ranging co-operative partnerships with the Centre for the Study of the Ancient World (Ionian University), the Centre for Oratory and Rhetoric (COR – Royal Holloway University of London), and the the Eötvös József College, University of Budapest, aims to examine a challenging and intricate topic: ‘Witnesses and Evidence: Information and Decision in Drama and Oratory – From Antiquity to Byzantium’.

Conference Programme

Topics will include, but are not limited to considerations of: social, political, literary, and moral theory, alongside studies of the impact of information-gathering and decision-making in drama and oratory – but in both respects, with a strong focus on the application of key ideas and values in social and political justice to issues of pressing ethical concern. We are keen to include papers exploring the ways in which both drama and oratory, refined and disciplined by the rhetorical devices of the trial, cut at the joints of human actions.
