Text and narrative in Byzantium

The collaborative research network Text and narrative in Byzantium (Texte et récit à Byzance) offers a scholarly framework for a number of research projects in Uppsala and Paris, while also facilitating mobility and exchange for teachers, scholars and PhD students. The network, generously sponsored for three years (2015-17) by The Swedish Foundation for Humanities and Social Sciences (Riksbankens Jubileumsfond), includes philological, historical and art historical projects in Byzantine Studies, ranging from palaeography and textual criticism to narratological and iconographical analysis.
