CELTIC CONFERENCE IN CLASSICS
MONTREAL, McGILL UNIVERSITY AND UNIVERSITÉ DE MONTRÉAL
JULY 19–22, 2017

From Bill Gladhill

Celtic Conference in Classics (www.celticconferenceclassics.com)

Since 1998 the Celtic Conference in Classics has rotated among universities in Britain, France and Ireland. This is the first year that the CCC will expand into North America. The CCC includes upwards of 20 panels on broad topics in Classics (Greco-Roman history, philosophy, literature, archaeology, reception) with roughly 15-20 presenters for each panel. Rather than small panels on many topics, the CCC allows each panel to explore fundamental questions in classical studies. Essentially, 20 large-scale conferences on major research topics in Classics are occurring simultaneously. It is recommended that scholars move between panels in order to shape interdisciplinary perspectives and approaches. Academic cross-fertilization is imperative. Specialist panels are open to experts from other subject-areas and scholars from different national traditions are encouraged to build international academic networks among their home institutions in order to foster future collaboration. The CCC is a democratic, inclusive organization and it invites scholars and students to discuss fundamental issues of Greco-Roman society and culture. The official languages of the CCC are French and English.

Conference Panels include

• Classical Literature and the Fragmentary
• Consciousness and Conscious in Late Antiquity
• Diplomacy in Ancient Greek Oratory and Historiography
• Identity in Greek Oratory
• Epic and Elegy
• Ethnicity and Imperialism
• New Approaches to Plato
• New Directions in Military History
• Popular Classics
• Reception of Ancient Drama
• Return to Philology
• The Alchemy of Myth in Medieval and Renaissance Culture

Please consult the website of the Conference for the full descriptions of the call for papers and other information. Undergraduate and graduate students are exempt from paying any registration fees.

CFP: ETHNICITY AND IMPERIALISM AT THE TIME OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC
PANEL AT THE 10th CELTIC CONFERENCE IN CLASSICS
MONTREAL, JULY 19th–22nd 2917

From David Colwill

But they did wipe out the Etruscan existence as a nation and
a people. However, this seems to be the inevitable result of
expansion with a big E, which is the sole raison d’être of people
like the Romans.
D.H. Lawrence, Etruscan Places, 1932 (1986 ed.), 31

When D.H. Lawrence wrote his Etrurian travelogue, he did so with an intuitive understanding that ethnicity and imperialism are entwined concepts. Much recent scholarship into the ancient world has looked into either ethnicity or imperialism in this period, but few have made the link between them explicit. While Mattingly (2013) has looked at some of these entwined factors for the Imperial period, his work remains an exception. The entwined concepts of ethnicity and imperial need further exploration in terms of their interactionalism and mutual contingency.

The panel seeks to represent varying approaches from different national scholarly traditions to ethnicity and imperialism at the time of the Roman Republic through a series of thought-provoking papers. Neither imperialism nor ethnicity exist in a vacuum. As such, relevant cross-cultural studies from co-temporal imperial societies, particularly from Hellenistic, Punic, and Near Eastern studies, are encouraged, as are interdisciplinary approaches.

Applications dealing with aspects of the following are sought, although proposals on other relevant themes will be considered:

• The role of imperialism in the process of ethnogenesis through imposition or apposition to differences in power and/or intercultural contacts
• The ways in which imperialism may have been influenced by the ethnic social constructions from which they arose
• The role of imperialism in the destruction of ethnic groups
• Hermeneutical or heuristic approaches to understanding ethnicity and imperialism as mutually contingent

The panel will consist of 12–15 speakers giving papers of 35 minutes each, followed by 15 minutes for discussion. Shorter papers may also be accepted. Papers may be delivered in English or French.

Submissions for up to 200 words plus a short biography should be emailed to ColwillDJ1@Cardiff.ac.uk by the end of Wednesday 11th January 2017. Any informal inquiries are also welcome at the same address.

AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS
FELLOWSHIPS AND GRANTS FOR 2017–2018

From the Editor

Graduate students and postgraduates can still apply to several ASCSA Fellowships and Grants with deadlines between January 15th and March 15th. Please follow this link.

THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE IN GREECE
THE NEDA AND FRANZ LEIPEN FELLOWSHIP (REMINDER)

From Gerry Schaus

The Canadian Institute in Greece (CIG) invites applications for the Neda and Franz Leipen Fellowship to be held at the Institute in Athens from 1 September 2017 to 31 May 2018.

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.

The Fellow will spend at least nine months resident in Athens and, in addition to his or her studies, 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. 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 C$9,000 and free accommodation in the CIG hostel for the nine-month period of the fellowship (1 September to 31 May).

To apply, write to Professor Gerald Schaus (gschaus@wlu.ca) by 1 March 2017, including a curriculum vitae and an outline of the proposed research. Please provide the names and e-mail addresses of three referees who are willing to support your application.

INSTITUT CANADIEN EN GRÈCE
BOURSE NEDA ET FRANZ LEIPEN (RAPPEL)

De Gerry Schaus

L’Institut canadien en Grèce lance un appel à candidatures pour la bourse Neda et Franz Leipen qui sera offerte pour un séjour de neuf mois à Athènes du 1er septembre 2017 au 31 mai 2018.

Les candidats à la bourse Neda et Franz Leipen doivent être citoyens canadiens ou immigrants reçus, être inscrits dans un programme d’études supérieures ou postdoctorales et doivent démontrer un besoin manifeste de séjourner en Grèce pour approfondir leurs études.

Outre ses obligations en recherche, le candidat devra séjourner neuf mois à Athènes où il secondera, à raison de 10 heures par semaine, le directeur adjoint dans diverses tâches administratives et bibliothécaires en plus de participer à l’organisation des événements publics présentés à l’ICG. La connaissance du pays et de la langue sera considérée comme un atout pour les candidats, bien que facultative.

La thématique de recherche du récipiendaire doit porter sur le monde hellénique, de l'antiquité à l'époque médiévale, peu importe la discipline. Il est toutefois important de signaler que les dossiers portant sur la sculpture grecque des époques classique et hellénistique seront privilégiés.

Le bénéficiaire aura l’obligation, dans toute publication ultérieure aux travaux de recherche menés sous les auspices de la bourse, de souligner le soutien de l'Institut canadien en Grèce et de la bourse Neda et Franz Leipen pour la complétion de ses travaux.

Le récipiendaire de la bourse se verra remettre une allocation de 9 000 $ CAD et un logement gratuit à l’hôtellerie de l’ICG pour l’entière durée de la bourse (1er septembre au 31 mai).

Pour déposer votre dossier de candidature, veuillez contacter le Professeur Gerald Schaus (gschaus@wlu.ca) au plus tard le 1er mars 2017. Les dossiers doivent comprendre un curriculum vitae, un plan détaillé du projet d’études en Grèce, et les noms et courriels de trois professeurs souhaitant appuyer votre démarche.
