This two-day workshop will take up the thematic of haunting in relation to Greco-Roman antiquity. Twelve speakers will give twenty-minute papers addressing haunting across three dimensions: the local (haunting in the ancient world), the interstitial (haunting in the transmission and reception of Greco-Roman antiquities), and the planetary (haunting as a theoretical relation to the past).
