Piazza il contributo intende riflettere su letteratura e filosofia come pratiche culturali impegnate in un costante processo di definizione l'una in rapporto all'altra. Il caso di studio sul quale l'articolo si concentra è quello della scrittura di Platone, che nell'antichità ha rappresentato anche un modello letterario molto autorevole. Dopo aver inquadrato che cosa si intende per filosofia e letteratura nell'età di Platone viene discusso l'atteggiamento spesso critico nei confronti della letteratura e soprattutto della mimesi letteraria che emerge nelle opere del filosofo. Al di là delle posizioni critiche a cui la sua opera dà voce, è chiaro che la forma preferita da Platone, il dialogo, rappresenta anche una precisa scelta di voler rimanere all'interno delle logiche letterarie in tutta la loro complessità. Ciò rappresenta una sfida intellettuale sia per la letteratura sia per la filosofia e oggi abbiamo più strumenti per comprenderla anche grazie a importanti esperienze filosofiche dell'età contemporanea.

In Wimmel’s view this novel concept explains Callimachus’ success among Augustan poets; it is also critical for understanding how the literary experiments carried out by Alexandrian poets are a reaction to the crisis of poetic language already begun in the classical age. Among recent discussions of Wimmel’s impact on Hellenistic aesthetics, J.I. Porter’s critique of the ‘ideology of λεπτότης’ is both radical and thought-provoking. The second part of the article discusses some of the ideas advanced by Porter and develops them within the framework of an anthropology of literature that foregrounds how poetic texts enact representations of the world as total space. Callimachus’ Hymn to Delos is a particularly remarkable case study in that it offers multiple instances of a poetics of world composition.

This paper discusses Tibullus I 4 with particular attention to three Callimachean intertexts, namely Iambus 9, Aetia fr. 41 and Iambus 3. Iambus 3 in particular proves to be a crucial intertext for the last portion of Priapus' lecture on love. The paper argues that Tibullus does not merely echo the Alexandrian text but reacts to it and dramatically alters its implications. The Roman poet places this allusion at a crucial point, that is, at the end of Priapus' lecture on homoerotic love. The appropriation and subversion of Callimachus' Iambus 3 has a central place in Tibullus' strategy of establishing the literary prestige of his own elegiac endeavor.

In the first place, it shows that there is no compelling reason for assigning both fragments to a single elegy composed or performed during a night-time watch on a ship, as many scholars assume; in the second place, it offers a metasympotic reading of both fragments. In fr. 4 Archilochus uses marine and military imagery to conjure up a fictional setting that evokes the actual sympotic gathering.

Qua iambographer, the Hellenistic poet places himself outside the realm of high poetry where he usually belongs and his new, “mild” iambus engages itself in a confrontation with Callimachus’ opponents that is both personal and literary.

These are only a few questions we would like to explore during our workshop. We strongly encourage the dynamic interaction between all participants, who are specialists in different areas of expertise (archaeology, epigraphy, history, history of religions, literature). We do hope that the workshop will be also an occasion to discuss and develop methodologies across disciplinary boundaries.
