Private Associations and the Public Sphere

Private Associations and the Public Sphere. Proceedings of a Symposium held at the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, 9-11 September 2010. Edited by Vincent Gabrielsen & Christian A. Thomsen.

Private Associations and the Public Sphere began as a conference at the Royal Danish Academy in the fall of 2010. The subject of the conference were the many private associations of the Ancient Greek world and their social, political, religious and economic significance. The proceedings (published in 2015) collect eleven chapters each pursuing this question in a particular geographic and historical context. The authors have aimed not only to document and analyse various forms of interaction between private associations and the public sphere, but also to register the outcomes and interpret their historical significance.

A free digital copy of the volume is available through the Royal Danish Academy Press’ Open Publication.

A hard copy is available to order at the Royal Danish Academy Press.
