The history of the National Workshop on Ancient History and Classical Studies dates back to 2012, an event that was part of the Interdisciplinary Program of Classical Studies (PIEC) of the Center for Research and Studies on Culture and Society (CIECS, CONICET-UNC). It was able to continue over time thanks to the financial support it received in its various editions from the Secretariat of Research, Science, and Technology of the National University of Córdoba and the institutional endorsement of the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities.
The objectives of the workshop are to provide a forum for dialogue on a specific topic, allowing for the exchange of questions and working hypotheses, with an emphasis on discussing the theoretical and methodological assumptions of the invited participants' ongoing research. At the same time, it seeks to create and strengthen ties with other research groups in the country and abroad, as well as to provide a forum for those interested in the ancient world to access scientific knowledge not only as passive listeners, but also as active participants during the open discussions that follow each presentation.
Discourse and Power in Greece and Rome: Readings from History and Literature is the first issue of the Interpretatio collection, Cuadernos del PIEC, which brings together works by five specialists in the field of Greco-Roman classical studies discussed at the III National Workshop on Ancient History and Classical Studies, “Discourse and Power.” In the first chapter, Diego Paiaro focuses on the discursive constructions of the “liberation” of Athens in the political confrontations during the establishment of democracy.
