REPAC is short for “Repetition, Parallelism and Creativity: an Inquiry into the Construction of Meaning in Ancient Mesopotamian Literature and Erudition”. The project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement n° 803060). REPAC is an ERC Starting Grant project running from 2019 to 2024. The research team is led by the Principal Investigator Dr. Nicla De Zorzi.

REPAC investigates repetition and parallelism as structuring and meaning-making devices in Akkadian literature and scholarly writing, aiming to demonstrate their grounding in a culture-specific “analogical hermeneutics” which pervades the core texts of Ancient Mesopotamian culture. In this workshop, we will highlight the specifics of the Mesopotamian evidence by comparing analogical hermeneutics in Ancient Mesopotamian literature and scholarly writing with parallel textual patterning in the closely related corpus of Biblical poetry, in ancient Egyptian literary production, as well as in the Ancient Chinese literary and philosophical corpus.
