SUMMARY:2025–2026 CAMS Lecture Series: Katherine Krauss
DESCRIPTION:\nThis paper will examine questions of scholarly identity an
d community in Macrobius' Saturnalia. A Latin dialogue from the mid-fift
h century CE\, the Saturnalia is preoccupied with questions of social in
clusivity\, and in particular who can partake in learned conversation. I
n this paper\, I will argue that Macrobius criticizes elitist definition
s of scholarly community in his literary models\, especially Aulus Gelli
us and Varro\, and instead advocates for expanding access to learned cir
cles along the lines originally envisaged by the dialogues of Cicero. I
will conclude with some reflections on our murky understanding of Macrob
ius' own identity\, and how his interest in questions of class might be
informed by his possible lived experiences.\n\nFor more details: https:/
