Conference: Decadence: Rhetoric and Aesthetics of Decline from Ancient Empire to the Age of Polycrisis

Venue: British School at Rome, Rome

Dates: 21-22nd January 2027.

Organisers:

Presented by Ramus International, hosted by Emma Wilson (Texas State University), George Brocklehurst (Institute of Classical Studies), and Xiyuan Meng (University of St. Andrews).

Contact: Dr. Emma Wilson, emmaemma@txstate.edu

Deadline for abstracts: 15th September 2026.

We welcome submissions from any field of study and seek to put together multidisciplinary panels to allow conversations to flourish across traditional disciplinary borders. This approach has been a hallmark of our events since 2024, and we’re excited to welcome friends old and new to participate in our open-ended dialogue as we ask what happens when success elides into excess and rise turns into fall.

We invite 20-minute papers on the intellectual history, aesthetics, literature, culture, mythology, theology and science of civilisational ‘decadence’ in any period or location. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

v The attributes of ‘decadent’ style from classical rhetoric to modern literature.

v Tropes of civilisational decay and their mobilisation across cultural contexts.

v The role of spoken eloquence in historical narratives of rise and fall.

v Representations of decadence in art history.

v Perspectives on artificial intelligence from the histories of rhetoric, media, communication and technology.

v Non-European perspectives on decadence.

Abstracts of up to 250 words to be submitted via this Google form by 15th September 2026.

Notification of acceptance will be sent by 20th September 2026. Please do not hesitate to send any questions to Dr. Emma Wilson at emmaemma@txstate.edu.
