##  Synopsis of the workshop: 

 This workshop theorizes translation as a conceptual framework and testing ground for rethinking the reception of classical antiquity. It addresses translations as a point of departure for every historical confrontation with the classics, highlighting tensions manifested in the domains of textuality, agency, temporality, communities, medium, transvaluations, and transgressions, and accentuating the crisscrossing pathways, which thread antiquity’s alterity to a global, transcultural and long-term history.
