Ulrich Marzolph

Opening Lecture “Framing Narratives”

Organised by Beatrice Gründler (EXC 2020, Research Area 3: “Future Perfect”) and Johannes Stephan (Freie Universität Berlin, “Kalīla and Dimna – AnonymClassic”, ERC).

Series of events in collaboration with the ERC funded project Kalīla and Dimna – AnonymClassic.

This event series invites discussions on how to theoretically engage with the concept of narrative framing in premodern Arabic literature and adjacent literary traditions. Our aim is to develop a comprehensive definition of “framing narratives” beyond a merely descriptive perspective, and to interrogate its function within textual production. The events will be held in English.

Opening event:
Public lecture | Ulrich Marzolph: The Frame Tale: Potentials and Limitations

The lecture and subsequent discussion will be streamed online via Webex. For more information concerning the event, please contact Johannes Stephan (johannes.stephan@fu-berlin.de).
