SUMMARY:The Formation of Cultural Memory: Ancient Mesopotamian Libraries and Schools and Their Contribution to the Shaping of Tradition and Identity
DESCRIPTION:When dealing with archives and libraries in the ancient Ne
 ar East\, Assyriological scholarship has dedicated much effort into th
 e publication of their texts\, often concentrating on one particular g
 enre. Less attention has been paid to the questions what particular te
 xts or genres were collected and for what potential purposes in a part
 icular place. The workshop intends to approach Mesopotamian tablet col
 lections\, tablet-depots\, archives\, and libraries from a cultural-an
 thropological perspective\, looking at the epistemic practices and for
 ms of production and reception of texts in order define more closely t
 he repertoire of cultural memory and tradition.
