An interdisciplinary seminar on the heritage of Milman Parry’s and Albert Lord’d researches in oral epics, organized by prof. Carla Castelli and prof. Nicola Scaldaferri, took place on April 28, 2022 at the Department of Cultural Heritage and Environment of the University of Milan. Five presentations by scholars in Classics and Ethnomusicology delved into the topic from different perspectives, spanning from the disciplinary context and implications of Parry’s theories, to the archival materials he collected (now preserved in the Milman Parry Collection of Oral Literature, Harvard University) and the most recent researches on these documents, suggesting also some new directions in studying epic singing today. A final discussion moderated by prof. Castelli closed the event.
