Time | Event spans several days |
First workshop within the ERC-funded project ‘Forms of Law'
This workshop is located within the ERC-funded project titled ‘Forms of Law in the early modern Persianate world, 17th-19th centuries’, and as such, the organisers are particularly keen to learn about legal documents written in Persian, alone or in conjunction with other languages. We also welcome papers about legal instruments written in other languages demonstrably present within the Persianate sphere.
We invite scholars to present 30-minute papers derived from their research, and focussed on a specific Persianate legal instrument or collection of documents.
Participants of the workshop will be invited by the organisers to contribute an article-sized publication to an edited book with a reputed press, or the special issue of a peer-reviewed journal. It is envisaged that every submission will include a facsimile image of an representative sample of the material discussed, and an appendix with full transcription and translation of it. Assistance may be provided in some cases for clearing permissions and with transcription.
Participation is by invitation only. For those presenting papers, travel costs to and from Exeter will be reimbursed by the project; accommodation and meals will be organised in local Exeter hotels and restaurants.
There is space for up to 10 additional non-presenting participants; there are no fees but booking in advance is essential. Write to n.chatterjee@exeter.ac.uk before 1 July 2018 to book your place. Unfortunately, there are no subsidies available to help with travel or other costs.
