[1] Association Announcements

From: James Murray jsm@unb.ca

After several years as co-ordinator of the CAC Latin and Greek Sight Competitions, John Porter will be leaving this position. We want to thank him for his willingness to serve in this capacity, and wish him well as he leaves to do other things.

In response to his retirement as co-ordinator, I am sending this invitation to any CAC member or department that might be interested in helping out in this capacity. The work of the co-ordinator includes general oversight of the various levels of the competitions; recruitment of persons who can set passages, and mark the results submitted; distribution of materials to departments, and contacting winners.

The Council of the CAC feels that the sight competitions are an important aspect of the work the Association does in our community and for our discipline, and that they provide a special means of encouragement to young scholars who have chosen to study classical languages.

Individuals or teams who might be interested in this work are encouraged to contact James Murray, President, CAC, at 506-458-7485 or <jsm@unb.ca>.
___________

Après plusieurs années à la coordination des compétitions de versions grecques et latines, John Porter cèdera la place à quelqu'un d'autre. Nous tenons à lui exprimer notre reconnaissance pour ce service rendu à la Société et lui souhaitons bonne continuité pour les nouveaux projet qui l'occuperont.

Ce départ suscite naturellement le besoin de combler le poste, pour lequel j'invite tout membre de la SCEC, individuel ou départemental, à proposer sa candidature. Le travail du coordinateur implique la supervision des différents niveaux de concours, le recrutement des personnes qui choisiront les passages à traduire et assumeront les corrections, la diffusion des annonces liées aux concours et l'avis envoyé aux gagnants des diverses catégories et concours.

Le conseil de la SCEC estime que les concours de versions représentent un aspect important du travail que la Société effectue auprès de la communauté des études classiques ainsi que du grand public en général. Ces concours constituent un moyen d'encouragement privilégié pour les étudiants qui ont fait le choix d'étudier les langues classiques.

Toute personne — ou regroupement de personnes— intéressée par cette responsabilité est donc invitée à entrer en contact avec James Murray, Président, SCEC, au numéro de téléphone 506-458-7458 ou à l'adresse courriel jsm@unb.ca.

Report of CAC delegate to Assemblée Générale de la FIEC, Barcelona, August 24, 2007

As the CAC/SCEC’s delegate, I represented the CAC/SCEC at the Assemblée Générale of the FIEC held at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Barcelona, on August 24, 2007. Since few CAC/SCEC members are aware of the activities of the FIEC, the CAC/SCEC Council felt that it would be helpful if I provided a report on this Assemblée Générale and I am pleased to circulate my report herewith.

The Societat Catalana d’Estudis Classics under its President, Professor Monserat Jufresa, were the generous hosts of this meeting in Barcelona, which also included a visit to the Ajuntament (City Hall) on August 23 and an excursion to, and guided tour of, the monastery of Monserrat on August 25. 35 delegates, plus 5 members of the Executive (Heinrich von Staden, President; Averil Cameron and Ana Maria González de Tobia, Vice-Presidents; Paul Schubert, Secretary; Franco Montanari, Treasurer), attended from the following countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, UK, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Turkey, Canada, US, Argentina, Nigeria, South Africa, Japan. In addition, delegates from these countries also represented Classical Associations in Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and Senegal. There were also representatives from international Classical Studies organizations such as the Association Internationale d’Epigraphie Grecque et Latine (AIEGL), Association internationale des Papyrologues, Association Internationale d’Etudes Patristiques, Société Platonicienne Internationale, and the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae. In short, 56 of the 80 member associations were represented.

The main items of business transacted during the day were as follows:

1.Membership in the FIEC

• Three new member organizations were elected (The International Plutarch Society (Italian section); Associazione Italiana di Epigrafia; Philologos (University of Thessaloniki)), while it was announced that two member associations had resigned since the previous Assemblée Générale in 2004 (the Filologisk-Historisk Samfund, Denmark and the Association Internationale pour l’Étude de la Mosaïque Antique). FIEC duly noted the change in name of the Association Yougoslave d’Études Classiques, now known as the Association d’Études Classiques de Serbie. This decision was challenged by the representative of the Serbian Society of Classical Studies on the grounds that the association had not been duly registered in Serbia, but FIEC determined that it was not its role to intervene in internal disputes within an individual country and duly noted the name-change.

2. Reports from the Sécretaire Général, Prof. P. Schubert, the Treasurer, Prof. F. Montanari, from the FIEC delegates to the Conseil International de la Philosophie et des Sciences Humaines (CIPSH, a branch of UNESCO), L’Année Philologique, the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae, and from the chair of the organizing committee of the next FIEC congress (to be held at the Humboldt University, Berlin, Aug. 24-29, 2009)

• Members of the CAC/SCEC may be interested to know that FIEC has an annual income over the last five years of between 7,000 and 8,500 euros. It has traditionally provided annual subsidies to support the operating costs of L’Année Philologique, Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum and Thesaurus Linguae Latinae. In the past FIEC received funding to cover these subsidies from the CIPSH. However, the latter organization has decided to terminate ongoing funding to long-term research projects such as this. As a result, FIEC now has to find the funds from its own budget to cover its traditional subsidies and it was able to provide just over 1,000 euros in 2005 and 2006 to each of these projects. It is felt that the symbolic support of FIEC is just as important for these projects as the financial support it provides. In place of long-term project grants, CIPSH now runs a programme to support specific research requests that will be especially beneficial for countries “moins favorisés”. As a result, FIEC was successful in its application to CIPSH to win funding for the purchase of a CD-ROM version of the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae for the Lomonsov University in Moscow (1,300 euros) and for a two-year subscription to the electronic version of L’Année Philologique for Belo Horizonte University, Brasil (440 euros).
• The Sécretaire Général’s report on L’Année Philologique centred on the rather precarious financial position of L’Année Philologique, especially as regards its Heidelberg (Germany), Lausanne (Switzerland) and Chapel Hill (US) branches, the latter thanks to the removal of its NEH grant. The imminent retirement of current director, Pierre-Paul Corsetti, was another cause for concern.
• As for the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae, it was reported that three fascicules had been published since the last FIEC General Assembly in 2004 (fasc. X 1,15 pius-plenarius; X 2,14 propositio-protego; X 2,15 protego-pubertas) and that Fascicule X 1,16 plenarius-pomerium was slated to appear before the end of 2007. The Bavarian Academy has requested the current Editor-in-chief, Dr. Hugo Beikircher, despite reaching 65, to remain in his post until the end of 2008. The selection of his replacement will commence at the end of 2007.
• Professor Martin Hose, on behalf of the organizing committee, presented the Call for Papers for the next FIEC congress, to be held at the Humboldt University, Berlin under the aegis of the Mommsen-Gesellschaft, Aug. 24-29, 2009. He introduced the 18 themes chosen for the congress and announced the deadline for receipt of abstracts as March 31, 2008. A few delegates expressed the view that the topics chosen were too trendy, leaving little place for “traditional” types of scholarship, but Prof. Hose responded that the organizing committee felt that it was crucial for classicists to demonstrate how our discipline has developed in the recent past and that it was perfectly possible for papers using more traditional approaches to fit under one or more of the 18 announced themes. He also announced that certain scholars had already been invited to present papers and that some had already accepted. The committee had attempted to achieve a balance of geography, age, gender and research area in making these invitations.

3. Future meetings

• Delegates from the University of Bari presented a formal invitation to FIEC to hold the 2012 meeting of the General Assembly at the University of Bari. There was discussion of possible sites for the 2014 congress. Prof. Pascal Arnoud suggested the Université de Nice (France) as a possible venue and agreed to approach the university authorities. The Turkish delegate suggested Istanbul as another possible venue. A firm decision would be reached at the 2009 Berlin congress.
  
  

4. Subventions from FIEC

• FIEC offers subventions, for which member associations and individuals may apply. Since the last Assemblée Générale during the 2004 congress in Ouro Pretas (Brasil), it had received two applications for grants under its subvention programme. The Assembly unanimously agreed to provide 1,000 euros to Dr. Stephanos Matthaios (University of Thessaloniki) to help fund an international congress on “Language – Text – Literature : Archetypes and Concepts of Ancient Scholarship and Grammar” and concurred with the recommendation of the Executive not to fund a request from an assistant professor at the Tabiat Mordares University, Tehran, Iran for a personal research project to produce a Greek grammar for the Iranian public and to carry out preparatory work towards translations of the Homeric poems. Though the Executive felt the project valuable, it was concerned that an individual research project was less appropriate for a FIEC subvention than a team-project and that no mechanisms were in place to control the use of any funds granted. Discussion followed regarding the rather unwieldy mechanism currently in place for approval of such subventions, which need to be approved by an Assemblée Générale, which are only held once every two or three years. In light of this discussion, the Executive agreed to look into streamlining the adjudication process for such subventions and to make a proposal to this effect to the next Assemblée Générale.
  
  

5. Other business

• The Treasurer reported on the current state of the FIEC website: http://www.fiecnet.org.
• Dame Averil Cameron, representing the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies and the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, reported on the rather parlous situation of the joint-library of the Institute of Classical Studies in the Senate House, University of London, and the increasingly frustrating relations between the Institute and the University. She asked for the support of FIEC in assuring the future of this major international library for research in Classical Studies. FIEC agreed to write a letter of support, and Prof. Cameron invited individual member organizations to send their own letters of support, if this was felt appropriate. (Note: The CAC Council at its meeting on 13 October 2007 decided to send such letters of support.)
• Prof. Francisco Oliveira, delegate of the Portuguese Association of Classical Studies, thanked FIEC and individuals for their support in its petition to challenge the Portuguese government’s threat to reform Portugal’s high-school curriculum in Classical Studies. This had led the Portuguese government to revise its position and allow the continuation of Classical Studies.
  
  

After lunch, delegates were treated to two lectures: Els classics a Catalunya by Monserrat Jufresa, President of the Societat Catalana d’Estudis Clàssics, and La filologia clàssica i el clàssic by renowned Catalan poet and member of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Carles Miralles.

[3] Calls for Papers

From: Justin Michael Carreker jmc3tm@cms.mail.virginia.edu

The Classics Graduate Student Association of the University of Virginia announces its twelfth annual Graduate Student Colloquium, “Lingua sed torpet: Manifestations of Emotions in the Ancient World,” to be held in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, February 16, 2007.

David Konstan, John Rowe Workman Distinguished Professor of Classics and the Humanistic Tradition and Professor of Comparative Literature at Brown University will deliver the keynote address. Professor Konstan has published on a wide variety of Classical subjects ranging from Greek and Roman comedy to the psychology and philosophy of emotion in the ancient world, including Sexual Symmetry: Love in the Ancient Novel and Related Genres (1994), Friendship in the Classical World (1997), The Emotions of the Ancient Greeks: Studies in Aristotle and Classical Literature (2006), and most recently, Terms for Eternity: Aiônios and aïdios in Classical and Christian Texts (2007).

This colloquium will explore emotions and their expression in the ancient world. In what ways are emotions expressed in ancient writers of all genres, in visual art, or in inscriptions? Do Greek communities express emotions in ways fundamentally different from Roman communities? What social and cultural values are revealed by such expressions? Conversely, how and why are expressions of emotion sometimes deliberately suppressed? How does the material record alter the views presented in literary texts? How does ancient medical theory? How does ancient art, whether painting, sculpture or even architecture, depict emotions, and how does it evoke them in the observer? How do status, gender, and ethnicity affect the expression of emotions? What is the role of emotion in Greek and Roman religious experiences? How do philosophers view emotions and their role in human life? What can ancient emotions and their expression tell us about modern views and practices?

We welcome submissions from classical studies and related fields, including art history, history, archaeology, philosophy, comparative literature, religious studies, women’s and gender studies, drama, politics, etc. Abstracts should be one page in length and submitted as attachments to Rachel Bruzzone at rmb9p@virginia.edu. Your name should not appear on your abstract, so please make sure that the body of your e-mail includes your name, paper title, institution, email address, and mailing address. You may also send your abstract (with your personal information on a separate sheet) to:

Rachel Bruzzone
University of Virginia
Department of Classics
P.O. Box 400788
Charlottesville, VA 22904

Abstracts should be submitted by December 1, 2007. Please contact colloquium organizers Justin Carreker (carreker@virginia.edu) or Dessa Asp (moa3y@virginia.edu) with any questions.

CAMPUS AND FACILITIES

The University of Otago campus, serving about 19,000 students, is located just a few blocks from the centre of Dunedin, a city noted for its gracious Victorian and Edwardian buildings and the beauty of the
surrounding countryside.

The campus is a graceful mix of old and new buildings, set amongst pleasant lawns and gardens. Almost all Otago students live within walking distance of the University campus and key facilities such as
lecture theatres, libraries and computer resource rooms. The majority of graduate students live in rented apartments or houses shared by four or five students. A wide variety of students services, such as
health and welfare, and facilities for recreation, sport and leisure are easily accessible on campus or in the city.

The city's commerce, music and entertainment, and most of its sport, have evolved around its student culture. Dunedin offers students the best of both worlds. It has all the facilities, entertainment and variety of larger cities, but is small enough to be friendly, uncrowded and safe.
