You will note that some deadlines are coming up very soon, especially the Doctoral Workshop in Epigraphy announced below in section [6]. I hoped to send this issue earlier, but it simply wasn't possible. Yet, to speed up things, I have left out some announcements that are not time sensitive. So, if you don't see your announcement, it's because it will be appear in the next issue.

Si vous avez des messages d'intérêt pour les membres de la Société, vous pouvez aussi les communiquer à l'administratrice de la page Facebook et du compte Twitter de la CAC/SCÉC. J'ai personnellement rejoint quelques centaines de classicistes sur Twitter pour les informer de l'atelier d'épigraphie mentionné ci-dessus et de la nouvelle date limite de soumission des résumés pour le prochain congrès de la Société.

NOUVEAU SITE WEB DE LA SCÉC (RAPPEL)

From the Editor/ Du rédacteur

If you have clicked on some of the links above, you may have noticed that the website has a new look and, more importantly, loads much faster. For the time being, the old site is still working, but it will soon be entirely deactivated.

I would appreciate if you, dear reader, visited as many pages as possible and reported any problem that you can find, including broken links, typos, etc. I hope the Local Representatives and Department Chairs will also look at the informations most relevant to your department or programme and report any changes to be made. Pages that you might want to look at include "Classics programs in Canada", "Graduate Programs in Canada", "CAC Local Representatives" and, if you're an organizer or adjudicator of one of the competitons, the "Scholarships and Competitions" pages.

Il reste plusieurs changements à effectuer, mais l'essentiel est fait. L'ancien site devrait être désactivé d'ici la fin janvier. Nous avons espéré tout terminer avant l'envoi de ce Bulletin (ce qui explique le retard), mais les circonstances ne l'ont pas permis.

Ceux qui souhaitent aider à l'amélioration des pages en français peuvent consulter celles déjà mentionnées en version française («Programmes», «Cycles supérieurs», «Représentants locaux», «Bourses et concours») ou toute autre page.

Regular visits to Athens during the academic term (September to May) as well as presence at the annual Open Meeting are essential.

The Acting Director will administer and manage the facilities in Athens in close consultation with the Assistant Director and the President of CIG. He or she shall be responsible for the provision of services as approved for the CIG program in Greece as well as for the administration and expenditure of all funds in Greece provided through the approved annual budget in support of CIG operations.

TWELFTH CELTIC CONFERENCE IN CLASSICS
CfP: Song, Lament, Love: Harking Back to the Sounds of Elegy
University of Coimbra, 26–29 JUNE 2019

From Bill Gladhill

Submission deadline: 28 February 2019.

Panel coordinators:
Eva Anagnostou-Laoutides (Macquarie University, NSW): Eva.Anagnostou-Laoutides@mq.edu.au
Bill Gladhill (McGill University): charles.gladhill@mcgill.ca
Micah Myers (Kenyon College): myersm1@kenyon.edu

The nature of archaic Greek elegy and its performative culture, its interface with other Greek literary genres as well as its Hellenistic and Roman adaptation(s) have already commanded an impressive amount of scholarship. Despite, however, appreciating that the functions of elegy were hugely diversified early on (Nagy 2010; Barbantani 2018), despite overcoming the simplistic classification of elegies to subjective and objective (Cairns 1979; Murray 2010; Miller 2012), and even despite doubting Quintilian's criticism of Propertius as an obscure poet (Inst.Or.10.1.93), foundational questions on the origins, nature, and meaning(s) of Elegy remain unanswered. Elegy, one of the oldest Greek poetic genres, remains the most elusive.

Drawing on Karen Weisman's definition of post-classical elegy as "the framing of loss" (2010: 1) and on Horace's appreciation of elegy in connection with mourning and the Greek elegos (AP 75-8), a connection reflected on the lost genre of Roman female poetry called the nenia, the panel aims to reorient research and debates on elegy by focusing on its sounds –mimicked, described, or alluded to– and the emotions they evoke. This alternative perspective on elegy goes beyond generic and metric definitions, seeking instead to uncover the basic sounds (sighing, sobbing, groaning, muttering, etc.) which the Greeks and the Romans identified with elegiac concepts (e.g. love, death, loss) and to reflect on the cultural processes associated with them, especially memorialization and ritualization. By placing elegy in its original context, that of the lived, but unrecorded Greek and later Roman song culture (Habinek 2005; Sbardella 2018), we can reassess its association with Greco-Roman literary genres, all of whom place special emphasis on the sounds of love and death, as well as epigrams, funerary inscriptions and rhetoric. Furthermore, by shifting the methodological focus we can revisit elegy's connection with issues of gender, including the role and social ramifications of ancient female experience(s). The panel welcomes papers dealing with (but not limited to):

• How did lived, oral song culture influence Greek and/or Roman elegy?
• What methodologies can be used to retrieve oral song cultures from written texts, including elegy?
• Which sounds define the Greek/Roman elegiac experience and how are they represented in other genres?
• What are the emotional and psychological implications of the elegiac experience as the Greeks/Romans conceptualized it?
• What is the connection between Greek/Roman elegy and spirituality?
• How elegiac is Greek/Roman elegy?
• Is there a connection between Greek elegy and Near Eastern song cultures?
• How Roman is the Roman elegiac experience?

The panel hopes to broaden the discussion on elegy by situating it within the wider social and cultural contexts in which it developed. We invite papers on all aspects of Greek and Roman auditory culture as it pertains to expressing sentiments about love, death, loss, life and the afterlife in ancient literature and inscriptions. The central question this panel aims to address is the connection between ancient sound culture and the deeper psycho-social implications of elegy.

Each paper (25 minutes) will be followed by a 10-minute discussion. Abstracts must not exceed 300 words. The submission deadline for abstracts is 28th February 2019. Please include a short biography and specify your affiliation.

Submissions are to be sent to the following email address: hsonglamentlove@gmail.com.

Notification of acceptance will be given by 15th March 2019.

From / De Gerry Schaus

The Canadian Institute in Greece invites applications for The Neda and Franz Leipen Fellowship to be held in Athens, Greece, from 1 September, 2019 to 31 May, 2020

The applicant must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, pursuing graduate or post-doctoral studies, and have a clear need to work in Greece.

In addition to his or her studies, the Fellow will spend at least nine months resident in Athens and will provide ten hours of assistance weekly at the Canadian Institute in Greece in the office or library, as well as assisting at the public functions of CIG. The nature of this work is to be determined in consultation with the Director. Some previous experience in Greece and some knowledge of modern Greek is an asset, although not a requirement.

The Fellow's research focus may be any aspect of Hellenic studies, from ancient to mediaeval, and in any academic discipline, but preference will be given to a candidate working in the field of Classical to Hellenistic Greek sculpture. In any subsequent publication of the research work done under the auspices of this fellowship, the recipient will acknowledge both the Canadian Institute in Greece and The Neda and Franz Leipen Fellowship.

The Fellow will receive a stipend of $9,000 and free accommodations in the CIG hostel for the period of the fellowship.

Applications should be postmarked before March 1, 2019, and should include a curriculum vitae, a description of the planned program of research, and three letters of reference. These should be sent to:
