On Monday the 23rd and Tuesday the 24th I will host a panel with Philipp Maas at the 32nd DOT in Münster. The panel’s title is:

Adaptive Reuse of Texts, Ideas and Images and it is part of the broader project of rethinking categories such as Authoriality, Originality and Creativity in South Asia. The Coffee Break Meeting in December 2012 in Rome (and the volume of essays which will be published soon in the Journal of Indian Philosophy) have investigated the form of textual reuse (literality of quotations, acknowledgement of reuse, marks of reuse and the like), while independently a 2012 conference in Matsumoto (and the proceeding thereof) have focused on the reused “fragments” and the possibility to collect them. This panel goes one step beyond and focuses on the originality implied in each instance of reuse, showing how reuse always adapts a text/an idea/an image to new conditions.
