On November 27th, Nicolò Sassi presented a paper titled “Storytelling as a Form of Religious Knowledge: On the Migration of Early Byzantine Hagiographical Tales to Ethiopia” at the TaleTheory Conference at the University of Cyprus. The paper will be published as a chapter in a forthcoming volume by Brill.
In an attempt to understand and promote the study of the early tale, TaleTheory creates and fosters collaborations with Classicists, Byzantinists, Folklorists, and Literary Theorists, as well as Therapists, Sociologists, Educators, and Literary Authors. TaleTheory thus shows that an engagement with the dynamic relationship among ancient, Byzantine, and modern is essential to an understanding, on the one hand, of the literary production of past societies and, on the other, allows influential participation in contemporary debates about literature’s place and uses in modern technological societies.
