CAC CONFERENCE – CALGARY MAY 8–10, 2018 – UPDATES
CONGRÈS DE LA SCÉC – CALGARY 8–10 MAI 2018 – MISES À JOUR
From the Editor / Du rédacteur
The documents for the AGM are now available on the Conference page on the CAC website. Two more reports will be posted within the next several days. Note that the minutes of the 2017 AGM as well as the Report of the Nominating Committee have been very slightly revised since they were first posted (for typos and to add one missing line). If you have already downloaded them, I suggest you do so again, but you definitely do not need to read them again.

Les documents qui concernent l'AGA ont maintenant été publiés sur la page qui leur est consacrée sur le site de la Société. Deux autres rapports seront ajoutés dans les prochains jours. Le procès-verbal en anglais et le rapport du Comité des candidatures ont été très légèrement révisés ces derniers jours (coquilles et ajoût d'une ligne). Si vous les avez déjà téléchargés, je vous suggère de le faire de nouveau, mais il n'est aucunement nécessaire de les relire.

INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE ON / COLLOQUE INTERDISCIPLINAIRE SUR
PREACHING AS PERFORMANCE / PRÉDICATION ET PERFORMANCE
26–28 October 2018 / 26–28 octobre 2018
University of Calgary / Université de Calgary
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
From John Vanderspoel
La version française suit
The Department of Classics and Religion at the University of Calgary, in conjunction with the biannual meeting of the Collectif d'Anthropologie et d'Histoire du Spirituel et des Affects (CAHSA), invites paper proposals for an interdisciplinary conference on the theme "Preaching as Performance". The conference will take place October 26-28, 2018 at the University of Calgary in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Preaching and its impact as a cultural form of not only religious but also social, political, literary, and aesthetic value has become a growing area of scholarship. This conference aims to foster research on the anthropology and history of religious teaching and public communication by providing an occasion for the interdisciplinary and comparative analysis of preaching as a performance event. We welcome papers focused on any religious tradition or historical period that explore some aspect of the way preaching uses theatrical, material, sensory, linguistic, and affective resources to produce religious sentiment, form religious subjects, and transmit doctrinal messages.
Suggested areas of focus include but are not limited to:
Papers can be submitted in either English or French. (Note that although written communications related to the conference will in most cases be bilingual, some portions of the program will be in English, such as the welcome and keynote addresses.) Proposals of one page or less (including the author's biographical information) should be sent by May 1, 2018 to the following email addresses:
joy.palacios@ucalgary.ca and vandersp@ucalgary.ca
Organizing Committee:
— Dr. Joy Palacios, University of Calgary

Le Department of Classics and Religion à l'Université de Calgary, en collaboration avec la réunion biannuelle du Collectif d'Anthropologie et d'Histoire du Spirituel et des Affects (CAHSA), sollicite des propositions pour un colloque interdisciplinaire sur le thème « Prédication et performance ». Le colloque se tiendra du 26 au 28 octobre 2018 à l'Université de Calgary à Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
L'importance non seulement religieuse mais culturelle, sociale, politique, littéraire et esthétique de la prédication est l'objet d'une attention croissante des chercheurs. Ce colloque s'inscrit dans ce renouveau d'intérêt pour l'étude de l'anthropologie et de l'histoire de la communication religieuse, et se veut l'occasion d'une analyse interdisciplinaire et comparative du rapport entre la prédication et la performance. Nous sollicitons des propositions portant sur toute période historique et toute tradition religieuse et examinant la manière dont la prédication, pour produire des sentiments religieux, participer à la formation des sujets et diffuser certains contenus, recourt à des éléments théâtraux, matériels, sensoriels, linguistiques, et affectifs.
Les problématiques à explorer incluent, de manière non limitative :
Les propositions peuvent être rédigées en anglais ou en français. (Bien que le colloque soit bilingue, il faut noter que certains éléments du programme seront en anglais, tels que l'accueil, la conférence principale, et un bon nombre des communications.) Les propositions, qui n'excéderont pas une page et comporteront un bref résumé biographique, doivent être envoyées par courriel avant le 1er mai 2018 aux adresses suivantes :

UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
ARCHAEOLOGICAL FIELD SCHOOL IN SICILY
From Roger Wilson
There are still a few places left for the upcoming season of excavation at Gerace, Enna Province, Sicily, directed by Professor Roger Wilson (UBC) in the collaboration with the Regione Siciliana. The site is that of a Roman rural estate centre, whose owner's name we know in the second half of the fourth century CE – Philippianus. The 2018 season will concentrate on the excavation of a tile kiln and also of Philippianus' baths, including the uncovering of a mosaic in the frigidarium which carries an inscription on all four sides (only two sides of it were exposed in 2017). The excavation takes place between 07 May and 02 June. Accommodation is in an Agriturismo (with swimming pool) 8 minutes' walk from the site. Excursions on Sundays to places of archaeological interest elsewhere in Sicily are included in the price, which is $2995 (excluding your flight).
The project is available for course credit if your home institution agrees. Full details —Excavations in Sicily 2018 - the Gerace Project (and results of earlier seasons: 2017, 2016, 2015). For queries and applications please contact roger.wilson@ubc.ca.
