Description

This research cluster represents the first time that ASU scholars of premodern literature and culture in the European and Asian languages will come together as a group to discuss their respective fields in a comparative manner.  Underpinning this cluster is the problem of textuality in the premodern era: how texts are composed, physically produced, read, taught, copied, transmitted, interpreted, performed, censored, controlled, edited, compiled, illustrated, etc.
