Abstract

V originále

Organization and moderating of a rountable. This roundtable aims to analyse the entanglement of oral and written discourse in Byzantine literature by discussing features of orality in texts across various genres and periods. We are interested both in possible remnants of oral tradition in texts transmitted in manuscripts, and in features of orality in texts which were composed in writing but intended for oral performance. The topics of the contributions will include: metapoetic statements about oral delivery in the literary texts themselves; the relationship between orality and textuality concerning both the motifs and the literary techniques in hagiography; traces of orality in middle-Byzantine didactic poetry; and techniques connected to oral performance in late Byzantine poetry and rhetoric.
