UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO:
From: IN%"mouseion@watarts.uwaterloo.ca" "Robert Fowler" 2-NOV-1995
The Department is at full strength this year, with everyone back from
sabbatical. Nicholas Maes, who replaced Bob Fowler last year, has found a
position at Toronto; his presence at UW was most beneficial and we wish
him and his family all the best. On 18 Oct. we welcomed, together with
WLU, CAC speaker Keith Bradley, who lectured on Roman slavery to a
spellbound survey course (and a good audience of other attenders) at the
cruel hour of 9:30 - such is the schedule of the stalwart CAC itinerants.
Our in-house speaker this term is Robert Porter, who will lecture on 16
Nov. at 3:30 in Modern Languages 246 on "Greek Land Warfare: The Failure
of Stereotypes." All welcome!

UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
TRAINING EXCAVATION IN BRITAIN: CLASSICAL STUDIES 335
The 'Lunt' Fort at Baginton, Warwickshire
August, 1996
The Department of Classics at the University of British Columbia will
conduct a training excavation in August 1996 at the 'Lunt', a Roman fort in
central England, first built under Nero (in approx. 6O AD) in connection
with the revolt of Boadicea. Excavation began in the 196O's, and in 1988
UBC began work on the western defences. The site is well-known for the
reconstruction of areas where excavation is completed, including part of
the eastern rampart and gateway, granary (now the site museum) and gyrus
(cavalry training enclosure).
Students are trained in all aspects of excavation, and subject to
satisfactory performance obtain six credits for Classical Studies 335,
equivalent to one full-year course. Students from other universities may
take the course for transfer credit. There are no prerequisites.
The practicum will last for four weeks, from July 29- August 23 There will
be a number of free days. Visiting lecturers will come to the site, and
excursions to other places of interest will be organized at moderate cost.
Baginton is located near Coventry (direct bus service to London Airports),
very close to Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon and the Cotswolds.
Accommodation is at the University of Warwick (two miles from the site) in
five-person flats with private bedrooms and self-catering facilities. The
campus offers extensive eating and entertainment facilities. Costs:
students make their own travel arrangements to Britain and register at UBC
with the appropriate fee. A charge of 345 pounds covers the cost of
accommodation, local staff, excavation fees, daily transportation and
refreshments on the site for the whole period.
A deposit of $1OO (made out to 'A.A. Barrett') is required. Early
registration is recommended. In the event of cancellation, the deposit is
refunded if the place is filled.
For further details: Anthony A. Barrett, Department of Classics, University
of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. V6T 1Z1 Tel: (6O4) 822-4O64 (office),

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF RHETORIC - CALL FOR PAPERS
ELEVENTH BIENNIAL CONFERENCE, SASKATOON, CANADA, 22-26 JULY 1997
THE GRECO-ROMAN RHETORICAL TRADITION: ALTERATIONS, ADAPTATIONS, ALTERNATIVES
"The Greco-Roman Rhetorical Tradition: Alterations, Adaptations,
Alternatives" will be the theme of the Eleventh Biennial Conference of the
International Society for the History of Rhetoric at the University of
Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada, 22-26 July 1997.
The focus on "Alterations" and "Adaptations" recognizes that the
art of rhetoric has emerged and changed with the societies that have
produced the Greco-Roman tradition of discourse or adapted it to new
institutional and cultural conditions and uses throughout its history. The
focus on "Alternatives" acknowledges other discourses that have challenged
and continue to challenge the Greco-Roman tradition wherever Europeans have
transplanted it throughout the world.
Proposals for 20-minute papers in English, French, German, Italian
or Spanish should be submitted by 9 February 1996 to the ISHR President.
Please contact her for a form: Professor Judith Rice Henderson, Dept of
English 9 Campus Dr., University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon SK, Canada
S7N 5A5; Telephone: (306) 966-5497, Fax: (306) 966-5951, Email:
HENDRSNJ@duke.usask.ca
A seminar on "WOMEN AND THE RHETORICAL TRADITION" will be organized
by Professor Christine Sutherland. Scholars wishing to contribute on this
topic should submit proposals directly to her by the deadline of 9 February
1996. Since the Society may publish proceedings of this seminar,
participants will be asked to circulate completed papers in the autumn of
1996. Contact: Professor Christine Sutherland, University of Calgary,
Faculty of General Studies, 2500 University Dr NW, Calgary, AB, Canada
T2N 1N4; Telephone: (403) 220-7339, Fax: (403) 282-6716, E-mail:
SUTHERLA@acs.ucalgary.ca
The Society will be applying for a modest conference grant to
assist the travel of participants who cannot otherwise attend. Graduate
students, independent scholars, and other scholars who expect inadequate
government/institutional support should enclose with their proposals a
brief explanation of their circumstances and a realistic budget. Support
subsequently awarded by other sources must be reported immediately to
Professor Henderson.
The International Society for the History of Rhetoric promotes the
study of both the theory and practice of rhetoric in all periods and
languages and the relationship of rhetoric to poetics, literary theory and
criticism, philosophy, politics, religion, law, and other aspects of the
cultural context. The Society is not concerned with the furthering of
practical rhetorical skills as such.
Scholars may join the ISHR by subscribing to its official journal,
Rhetorica, published quarterly. To subscribe, send U.S. $40 (U.S. $16 for
students) to: Rhetorica, University of California Press, Journals Division,
2120 Berkeley Way #5812, Berkeley, CA 94720-5812, USA. Orders by Visa or
MasterCard only may be faxed to (510) 642-9917.

Statius in the Court of Domitian: A Fresh Assessment
The year 1996 will mark the 1900th anniversary of the deaths of the emperor
Domitian and of Statius, the celebrated Flavian poet closely associated
with him. Commemoration of the deaths of Domitian and Statius, and a
renewed interest in the Flavian, particularly Domitianic, monuments in
Campania, signal the need for a reassessment of Statius and his works. --
Publius Papinius Statius (A.D. 45-96), who was deeply influenced by Vergil,
was a favorite of Dante and Chaucer but his importance has generally been
minimized in literary history. He has again received scholarly attention
abroad, however, as reflected in important new critical studies and
translations in England and the Netherlands, but less commonly in North
America. It is now time to progress beyond thematic analysis and genre
criticism of Silver Age poetry to contemporary critical methodologies
applied particularly to Statius' Thebaid, Achilleid, and Silvae. -- The
Vergilian Society invites submission of papers which will provide fresh
assessment of Statius and his works, and that will launch a long overdue
reevaluation of Flavian, particularly Domitianic, monuments. We are
particularly interested in a) new approaches to the Achilleid, b)
intertextual examination of Vergil's influence on the Neapolitan/Roman
poet, c) critical analysis of recent research (e.g., Pavlovskis, Vessey,
Newmyer, Alex Hardie and Philip Hardie) and of critical editions of the
Thebaid and Silvae (e.g., Van Dam, Smolenaars, Coleman, Hill, and Dewar),
and d) papers which provide sensitive response to the poet's visual
imagination (including psychological aspects) in its contemporary Flavian
and Campanian contexts. -- The Vergilian Society panel on Statius at the
APA will complement a special session on "The Impact of Domitian on
Campania," to be held 5-17 July 1996 at the Villa Vergiliana, Cumae, Italy.
This international colloquium in Italy, involving Italian, British, Dutch,
and North American participants, will examine Flavian architecture,
engineering, social life, literature and art. The APA panel, complemented
by the overseas event, will provide important and provocative guidelines
for continuing discussion of Statius' works. -- Papers should be between
15-20 minutes in length. Abstracts should be between 500 and 800 words,
prepared according to the APA's rules for preparing Individual Abstracts.
All abstracts will be judged anonymously by a specially appointed panel of
referees. They should be sent with an identifying cover letter to the
Secretary-Treasurer of the Vergilian Society, John A. Dutra, P. O. Box 817,
Oxford Ohio 45056, no later than February 1, 1996.

THE WOMEN'S CLASSICAL CAUCUS
-- What is the Women's Classical Caucus? -- The Women's Classical Caucus is
an organization for all women and men concerned with the position of women
in classics today, the study of women in antiquity, and/or feminist
scholarship. It has existed since 1972, as a group affiliated with the
American Philological Association, and is actively involved with all issues
to do with women in the profession.
Members of the WCC belong to all branches of classical studies. We welcome
anyone interested in the ancient world, including students and school
teachers. Membership in the APA or AIA is not necessary.
The WCC is run by an eight-member steering committee headed by two
co-chairs. Two new members of the steering committee are elected annually
by the membership. The views and preferences of all members are solicited
and welcomed by the steering committee.
The WCC holds an annual public Business Meeting at the APA/AIA convention.
Its date, time and location are listed in the APA program. Anyone
interested in learning more about the caucus is encouraged to attend. The
WCC also has an information table in the book display room.
-- What does the Women's Classical Caucus do? -- Publishes a twice-yearly
newsletter with articles, book reviews, news of current sexual harassment
and discrimination cases, calls for papers, syllabi job announcements and
more.
Provides publicity and assistance for victims of discrimination and
harrassment, and a support network for these and others in need.
Promotes the study of women in antiquity, feminist scholarship and other
new methodologies, especially through its annual panel at the APA
meetings.
Current projects include outreach to AIA and members and Canadians, and
pressuring the APA to make the convention program more diverse and
accessible.
-- How to join the Women's Classical Caucus -- The WCC depends on the
support of its members. For annual dues of only $12.00 (or $3.00 for
students), you can contribute to the visibility and influence of women in
classics by joining the caucus. Institutional and life memberships are
also available (for $10 and $125 respectively).

[RE: *LIVERPOOL CLASSICAL MONTHLY*] The editor, Dr. John Pinsent, passed
away on Feb. 3, 1995, after a lengthy illness. Obviously this created a
lengthy hiatus. His wife, Helena V. Hunt, is continuing publishing the
journal. April and May of Vol. 19 are "almost complete" and she expects to
have things back to normal as quickly as possible. Ms Hunt may be reached
at the folowing e-mail address: 100115.642@compuserve.com

BOOK-LENGTH PUBLICATIONS BY MEMBERS
From: IN%"jaevans@unixg.ubc.ca" "James Evans" 15-OCT-1995
From Allan Evans, University of British Columbia. One item for your "Books
by Members" section. My `The Age of Justinian: the Circumstances of
Imperial Power' will be published by Routledge (London) in March, 1966.
I shall also be resigning as editor of `Studies in Medieval and Renaissance
History' after the present volume (no. 15) is published. I have been first
editor, and then co-editor of this series since 1977. I hope that `Studies'
will be carried on by two historians at the University of Victoria, but at
the moment, arrangements are not yet final. `Studies in Medieval and
Renaissance History' was chosen by the `Times Literary Supplement' as the
one history journal it chose to review in its `Learned Journals' supplement
Nov. 25, 1995. - Yours, J. A. S. (Allan) Evans. jaevans@unixg.ubc.ca
