Writing, scribal practice and literacy are important differentials at the borders of the subaltern. This series examines some aspects of writing, scribal practice and the ‘scripting’ of lives and experiences that are in some way ‘discrepant’ (Said) in relation to the centralised and elite forms of power and influence with which the discipline of Classics has historically been concerned.
