Nouveaux horizons sur l'espace antique et moderne. Actes du Symposium “Invitation au voyage”, juin 2013, Paris

This volume brings together the proceedings of the Symposium Invitation au Voyage, held in June 2013 at the highly prestigious Lycée Henri IV in Paris. These studies explore the universal theme of the journey from a completely new perspective. They compare and contrast texts from different linguistic areas, but also different media, and different types of art such as painting and cinema. This allows the authors to carry the theme beyond the boundaries of time and space, examining what goes on in the ‘elsewhere’ of other languages and other worlds. The main languages studied here are: French, Old French, Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, Avestan, Hittite, Old Irish, Old Icelandic, English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
