The symposium addresses facets of representation and advocacy – speaking for the other, Fürsprache – in Roman antiquity and early modern times, as a decisive yet often overlooked element of rhetoric, law, and religion. What does it mean and take to speak for an other? Who is the other before whom such an intercession takes place? What is the realm – literally and symbolically – in which ‘speaking for the other’ is possible or allowed? And how can we conceive of the realm that is in turn constituted by Fürsprache?
