Philip Bockholt of Universität Leipzig / Sächsische Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig presents on the Ottoman tradition of Kalīla wa-Dimna spanning 600 years.

Please note this session will be video recorded.

The AnonymClassic research colloquium continues to be ‘digital’ also in the winter term of 2020/21. From October 2020, sessions are held remotely for students and guest; presentations by guests may be recorded. Learning more about digital exchange tools and how to adopt formats intensifying academic exchange: “Open to Experiments” does remain the overall motto. 

Team, students and guests meet virtually every Thursday from 1 to 2 pm (CEST, no academic quarter). 

The winter term promotes a number of international guest speakers in alternation with close reading sessions on manuscript editing and presentations of the team’s research topics. Discussion of methodological approaches and digital humanities issues remain key interests of the AnonymClassic research colloquium.

Colleagues, visiting scholars, and students (Arabic studies or related disciplines) are cordially invited to participate. We especially welcome researchers based elsewhere than Freie Universität Berlin to join us for any one (or more) sessions. Please just send a quick note anonymclassic@geschkult.fu-berlin.de for registration and to get the relevant information such as the link to our Cisco WebEx meeting.
