Wilful Imprecision – Irregular Measures in Graeco-Roman Antiquity

Wilful Imprecision – Irregular Measures in Graeco-Roman Antiquity

Abstract

Le colloque international L’imprécision volontaire - L’irrégularité des mesures dans l’Antiquité gréco-romaine aura lieu à Louvain-la-Neuve en Belgique du 8 au 10 septembre 2026. Il propose d’aborder par une approche ex negativo le concept de standardisation des mesures dans l’Antiquité. Plutôt que de mettre l’accent sur les normes et l’uniformité, nous chercherons à étudier les irrégularités dans les mesures et les processus de mesure à partir de perspectives variées, notamment les études économiques, la théorie politique, l’histoire du droit, la littérature, l'archéologie, les études religieuses, l’herméneutique et la philosophie.

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the international conference Wilful Imprecision: Irregular Measures in Graeco-Roman Antiquity, which will take place in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, 8–10 September 2026. This conference proposes an ex negativo approach to the concept of standardisation of measures in antiquity. Rather than focusing on norms and uniformity, we aim to explore irregularities in measures and measurement from a range of perspectives, including economic studies, political theory, legal history, literature, archaeology, religious studies, hermeneutics, and philosophy.
