[3] Positions Available / Postes à combler

UBC — CNERS
TENURE-TRACK POSITION IN EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP

From Andra McKay

The Department of Classical, Near Eastern, and Religious Studies at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver campus) invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position in the Educational Leadership stream at the rank of Instructor. This position provides the opportunity to pursue a career focused on excellence in teaching, curriculum design, and other aspects of educational leadership, rather than subject-focused research. The workload for a tenure-track Instructor includes a 6-course teaching assignment scheduled over the academic year. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2019.

The area of disciplinary specialization is flexible, and promotion and tenure review will depend principally on excellence in teaching and educational leadership activities. UBC defines educational leadership broadly, and it may include outreach, curriculum development, pedagogical innovation, and engagement in the scholarship of teaching and learning (please follow this link and see 4.04). As this is a tenure-track position, the successful candidate will be reviewed for reappointment, tenure, and promotion in subsequent years, in accordance with the Collective Agreement. For a description of the Instructor rank and criteria for reappointment and promotion, please follow this link.

Applicants must demonstrate an ability to teach at least one of the languages currently taught in the department (with a preference for Biblical Hebrew or Latin), as well as courses in etymology and/or mythology (Classical and/or Near Eastern). The successful candidate must have a record of teaching excellence and should have an interest in expanding high-enrolment and/or online courses. The successful applicant must have either (a) a doctoral degree in any field taught by the department, or (b) a master’s degree in such a field and a doctoral degree in curriculum or pedagogy. Digital humanities skills would be an asset.

The application dossier should include: a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a syllabus for a course you’ve taught or designed, a one-page statement about your experience in and approach to educational leadership, and a 500-word outline for a new course at the first- or second-year level. In addition, applicants should arrange to have three confidential letters of recommendation sent separately by their referees. Shortlisted applicants will be asked for additional materials indicating teaching excellence.

Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2018 and will continue until the position is filled.

Informal enquiries may be made to the Department Head, Prof. Leanne Bablitz, at cners.head@ubc.ca.

This position is subject to final budgetary approval. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse community fosters the inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or discouraged. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Métis, Inuit, or Indigenous person.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

THE PERIPATETICS AND HELLENISTIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE 2nd CENTURY BCE:
CRITOLAUS ET AL.
UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO, SEPT. 28–29, 2018

From David Mirhady

The Peripatetic Critolaus of Phaselis (c. 200-c. 118 BCE) traveled from Athens to Rome in 155 BCE with the Academic Skeptic Carneades and the Stoic Diogenes of Babylon. Though no writings of his have survived, he clearly had a wide range of interests, like his forerunners Aristotle, Theophrastus, and other writers of the early Peripatos.  Based on a new edition and translation of the source material for Critolaus, which is in preparation by David Hahm, this conference will examine the many aspects of Critolaus and this important phase of the Peripatetic school, how it related to the Academics, Stoics, and Epicureans, and how it set the stage for the reception and development of Peripatetic philosophy in the Roman world.

Friday, September 28, 2018 in HH 373

• 9:30-10:00 Introductory Remarks: David Mirhady
• 10:00-12:30 David Hahm, Initial Overview of the testimonia for Critolaus
• 2:00-3:20 Robert Mayhew, Critolaus on God and Divine Providence:
• 3:40-5:00 Johannes Engels, The Political and Diplomatic context(s) of the Athenian Embassy

Saturday, September 30 in HH 373

• 9:30-10:50 Jan Szaif, Critolaus’ influence on Peripatetic theories of oikeiôsis
• 11:10-12:30 David Mirhady, Plutarch’s Missing Peripatetic (CMaj. 22) and the Debate over Justice

"POETICS AND POLITICS. NEW APPROACHES TO EURIPIDES"
LYON INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
JUNE 27th–29th 2019
« POÉTIQUE ET POLITIQUE. NOUVELLES LECTURES D'EURIPIDE »
COLLOQUE INTERNATIONAL DE LYON
27–29 JUIN 2019

From Victoria Wohl

In the last hundred years, scholars have approached the relation between poetics and politics in Euripides's dramas from different perspectives. Characteristic of the French-Belgian school of the middle of the 20th century was the attention paid to formal, dramatic or structural inconsistencies, which were thought to be justified by and to point to allusions to contemporary events or people. Severely criticized for the circularity of its argumentation and its disregard of poetic interpretations, this ‘old historicist’ approach was followed by the anthropological turn of J.-P. Vernant and P. Vidal-Naquet's work, which led to a new trend of studies often labelled ‘New Historicism’. This approach became particularly influential in 1990 with the publication of the collective volume Nothing To Do With Dionysus. This mode of historicism was concerned primarily with the tragedies' ideological functions in the context of Athenian democracy; it endeavored to show that tragedy reflected democratic ideology while also displaying resistance to it – a "broken mirror" as P. Vidal-Naquet put it. The attention paid by New Historicism to the social context of performance and to the political institutions that were in charge of the plays' productions, as well as to the audience of the plays, was an important and fruitful innovation, but it has been duly criticized for its short-comings, especially for its disregard of poetic form and of individual authorship. Some scholars, feeling that the plays were reduced to being a somewhat vague and passive reflection of general socio-political tensions, reacted by a renewed kind of formalism and a surge of interest in the meaning of individual plays.

In recent years, the tragic art of Euripides has been examined in more eclectic ways involving not only social, political, anthropological and religious but also (meta-)poetic, structural, dramaturgical and musical considerations. These perspectives are either juxtaposed to encompass the complexity of Euripides's drama or articulated to each other, aesthetic form being seen as a mode of political thought. The context within which drama needs to be interpreted has been expanded to include not only the institutions and dynamics of the Athenian city, but also other forms of poetry, art and thought to which the poet alludes in a constantly creative way or with which he competes. The conference aims at bringing together such diverse approaches to reexamine the relation between Euripides's poetics and the politics of his time.

Some of the questions that the conference hopes to raise are the following:

— How would we define today the political meaning of Euripides's plays?
— How is this meaning articulated to their form, structure, rhythm and other poetic aspects? How do studies on the materiality of Greek drama contribute to the question of politics?
— How does performance actualize or enhance the political impact of the tragic text and how do performance studies contribute to the political interpretation of Euripides's plays?
— Should we renounce the idea that Euripides is conveying a precise political message in a given play or does the combination of new methods allow us to identify his voice in a more subtle way than before? What is the specificity of his tragedies and of his approach to politics?
— Does a political interpretation preclude a search for a universal human meaning? When both meanings coexist, what are the poetical or dramaturgical means that unite or distinguish them?
— How can we integrate the fragmentary plays in the interpretation of Euripides's politics?
— Can the political reception of Euripides's plays throughout the centuries help us frame in a fresh way the relation between Euripides's poetics and the politics of his time?

Questions and abstracts (no more than half a page) should be sent before October 7th, 2018 to pascale.brillet@mom.fr.

Submissions will be examined by the members of the scientific committee: Pascale Brillet-Dubois (Université Lumière Lyon 2), Anna Beltrametti (Università di Pavia), Donald Mastronarde (UC Berkeley), Boris Nikolsky (RANEPA, Moscow), Anne-Sophie Noel (ENS Lyon), Victoria Wohl (University of Toronto).

PhD students' and young scholars' submissions are particularly welcome.

::::::::: ::::::: ::::: ::: : ::: ::::: ::::::: :::::::::

Depuis une centaine d'années, les savants ont examiné le rapport entre poétique et politique chez Euripide selon divers points de vue. Au milieu du XXe siècle, l'école franco-belge a analysé les incohérences formelles, dramatiques ou structurelles de ses pièces pour y déceler la trace d'allusions à des événements ou des personnes qui lui étaient contemporains. Très critiquée pour la circularité de son argumentation et le peu de cas qu'elle faisait des interprétations poétiques, cette approche historiciste a laissé place au tournant anthropologique des travaux de J.-P. Vernant et P. Vidal-Naquet, qui ont abouti au développement d'un nouvel ensemble d'études souvent qualifiées de « néo-historicistes ». Cette approche a eu une influence notable sur l'analyse de la tragédie, notamment avec la parution du volume collectif Nothing To Do With Dionysus en 1990. Le New Historicism s'intéressait avant tout aux fonctions idéologiques de la tragédie et à son lien au contexte de la démocratie athénienne ; il cherchait à démontrer que la poésie tragique, le « miroir brisé » de P. Vidal-Naquet, reflétait l'idéologie démocratique tout en la pervertissant. L'attention portée par les tenants de cette approche au contexte social des représentations et aux institutions politiques qui les organisaient, ainsi qu'au public du théâtre, s'est révélée importante et fructueuse. Néanmoins, le néo-historicisme a pu être critiqué pour ce qu'il laissait de côté, notamment la question de la forme poétique et du rôle de l'auteur. Certains ont réagi à l'idée que la tragédie reflétait essentiellement des tensions socio-politiques de nature générale par un retour au formalisme et un surcroît d'intérêt pour l'interprétation des pièces dans leur singularité.

Plus récemment, l'art tragique d'Euripide a été abordé de façon plus éclectique, par des méthodes alliant des considérations non seulement sociales, politiques, anthropologiques et religieuses, mais aussi (méta-)poétiques, structurelles, dramaturgiques et musicales, tantôt juxtaposées pour permettre d'englober la complexité de ses drames, tantôt articulées, la forme poétique étant alors considérée comme un mode de pensée politique. Le contexte dans lequel on doit interpréter ces tragédies a été étendu pour prendre en compte, outre les institutions et la dynamique de la cité athénienne, d'autres formes de poésie, d'art et de pensée auxquelles le poète fait allusion et se mesure sans cesse. L'objectif du colloque est de rassembler cette variété d'approches pour examiner à nouveaux frais la relation entre la poétique d'Euripide et la politique de son temps.

Voici quelques-unes des questions que nous souhaitons voir abordées par les participants :

— Comment définir aujourd'hui la signification politique des pièces d'Euripide ?
— Comment cette signification s'articule-t-elle à leur forme, leur structure, leur rythme et autres aspects poétiques ?
— Comment les études sur la matérialité de la tragédie grecque contribuent-elles à la question de son rôle politique ?
— Comment la représentation au théâtre de Dionysos actualise-t-elle ou renforce-t-elle l'impact politique du texte tragique et en quoi les performance studies contribuent-elles à l'interprétation politique des pièces d'Euripide ?
— Faut-il renoncer à l'idée qu'Euripide exprime un message politique précis dans une pièce donnée, ou bien la combinaison de nouvelles méthodes nous permet-elle d'identifier sa voix de façon plus subtile qu'auparavant ? Quelle est la spécificité de son approche politique ?
— Une interprétation politique est-elle incompatible avec la recherche d'une valeur universelle de la poésie d'Euripide ? Quand les deux niveaux de signification coexistent, quels sont les moyens poétiques ou dramaturgiques qui les unissent ou au contraire les distinguent ?
— Comment intégrer les pièces fragmentaires à l'interprétation du rapport d'Euripide à la politique ?
— L'étude de la réception des pièces d'Euripide à travers les siècles peut-elle contribuer à renouveler l'étude de cette relation ?

Merci d'envoyer votre résumé (pas plus d'une demi-page) et toute demande d'information avant le 7 octobre 2018 à l'adresse : pascale.brillet@mom.fr.

Les propositions de communication seront examinées par le comité scientifique constitué de : Pascale Brillet-Dubois (Université Lumière Lyon 2), Anna Beltrametti (Université de Pavie), Donald Mastronarde (Université de Berkeley), Boris Nikolsky (ARENAP, Moscou), Anne-Sophie Noel (ENS Lyon), Victoria Wohl (Université de Toronto).

NB : les doctorants et jeunes chercheurs sont particulièrement encouragés à soumettre leur proposition.
