The University of Oxford is hosting a one-day conference on February 3, 2024, dedicated to Christopher Logue and his works inspired by classical antiquity. Logue, renowned for his radical reimaginings of Homer's Iliad in War Music, will be the focal point of discussions among scholars from various disciplines. This event aims to reinvigorate the study of Logue's relationship with the ancient world and explore his contributions in the context of contemporary developments in classical reception scholarship.

The conference will feature two panels, each offering unique perspectives on Logue's work. Topics covered include Logue's political engagement with antiquity, the portrayal of gender ambiguity in his interpretations of Homer, and the temporal essence of combat in his writings. Additionally, a performance and discussion segment will provide a dynamic interaction with Logue's work.

The conference will culminate in a keynote address by Professor Henry Power from the University of Exeter, who will discuss Logue's approach to translation as a form of play. The event will take place at the Ioannou Centre's Lecture Theatre in Oxford. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible, and an online option is available for those who prefer to attend remotely. Registration is required to secure a spot, and admission is free. For more information and accessibility details, please visit the event's website.

Oxford University is a public research university with a traditional collegiate system. It&#39;s the oldest university in the English-speaking world, and has a significant number of Chinese students. It has 39 colleges, with classic and elegant campus architecture and 4-5 museums. I stayed one night and two days, which felt like enough time. It&#39;s conveniently located, just over an hour by bus to London. It&#39;s not large; you can mostly walk. The late autumn scenery is stunning. Renting an Airbnb costs around 700 RMB per night, which is worthwhile. The culinary arts college requires an entrance fee; it&#39;s become commercialized. This was my second visit.
