Colloque: VIIIe Atelier védique international, 18-22 septembre 2023, Campus Condorcet, Paris-Aubervilliers, et INHA, Paris, FRANCE — see also the PROGRAM and ABSTRACTS.
“The International Vedic Workshop is the most prominent conference of Indologists involved in the study of the Vedas all over the world.”
As in all earlier International Vedic Workshops, the research to be represented at the Eighth International Vedic Workshop shares not only a common subject area, viz. Vedic texts and the language and ritual reflected in these, but also an acceptance of the importance of the philological method in dealing with these texts, where possible supplemented with Vedic ‘fieldwork’. The proceedings of the first International Vedic Workshop, published in 1997, including the Introduction by Michael Witzel, are in this respect exemplary.
Both the PROGRAM and the ABSTRACTS of the 8th IVW Paris-Aubervilliers, 18-22 septembre 2023, are now available.
