On 1 July 1996 the Department of Classics at the UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA

will become the Department of Greek and Roman Studies. No changes in

personnel, administration, or address are involved. The change simply

reflects the desire of faculty in the Department to have a title that

better reflects the teaching and research we are engaged in, and one that

provides a clearer message to potential students unfamiliar with the field

of Classics. We also recently began a complete revision of our course

offerings, and we have altered our degree requirements to allow students to

complete majors and honours programmes without the study of Greek or Latin

language. While we will not recommend this option, it will allow a

significant minority of students in the Department to complete degrees for

which they might not otherwise have had sufficient room in their academic

programme. It will also assist students who come to the field late in their

undergraduate careers. We will continue to require some competence in both

languages for entry into and completion of our Masters Degree 

programme. 

We provide several alternatives for undergraduate study, the General

programme (as few as 12 out of 60 units), Major programme (21 out of 60

units), and intensive Honours programme (30 out of 60 units). Major and

honours programmes are available in both Greek and Roman Studies and Greek

and Latin Language and Literature. Full details may be found at the

beginning of the Greek and Roman Studies entry in the 1996/97 University of

Victoria Calendar. For further information contact Prof. J.G. Fitch, the

Undergraduate Advisor (604-721-8523; fitch@uvvm.uvic.ca), or myself

(604-721-8514; jpoleson@uvaix.uvic.ca).

CANADIAN INSTITUTE FOR MEDITERRANEAN STUDIES



Statement of Purpose



1 .  The Canadian Institute for Mediterranean Studies (CIMS) is a scholarly

society dedicated to the examination of points of contact among the

cultures surrounding the Mediterranean.  It is founded on the principle

that there is a common or an analogous substratum of cultural ferment at

work in the national cultures around the Mediterranean throughout their

history. 

2.  The demarcation of its field of interest is neither temporal, since it

includes modern aspects of culture as well as ancient ones, nor linguistic,

since it is concerned with those aspects of a national culture that have an

extra-national dimension and that are part of the generative base of other

Mediterranean cultures.  The boundaries of our field of interest are

therefore conceptual and geographical. 

3 . This makes CIMS a unique scholarly society in Canada since, although a

number of groups specialize in the national cultures of the Mediterranean,

none is specifically concerned with their points of contact, with the

ferments that they have in common, or with the analogies that link them. 

Therefore CIMS does not rival any of the existing societies nor does it

duplicate their work. 

4.  CIMS is interested in the identification of new ideas as well as in the

new interpretation of familiar ones, particularly ideas which may be

fruitfully placed against the background of the Mediterranean as a whole,

regarded as a conceptual unit and as an interpretive paradigm.  It is

concerned with comparative cultural studies aimed at the determination of

shared form and shared ideas, and it places special emphasis on the

modalities of such sharing and on the implications that cultural contact

has for the self-understanding of the national cultures in their relation

to the rest of the Mediterranean. 

5.  As an organization, CIMS intends to bring together scholars interested

in this pursuit and to provide them with a structure for the presentation

of their findings to their peers and for the further dissemination of their

work.  It also intends to bring together other people who, though not

professionally engaged in research, have an interest in the Mediterranean

world and may wish to support the Institute and take part in its

activities. 

6. The activities of the Institute will consist of:

   (i) the organization of national interdisciplinary conferences, to be

   conducted in accordance with the practice of other learned societies

   in Canada, in which Institute members may give papers on their research; 

   (ii) the organization of occasion conferences on well-defined issues,

   through the agency of the Institute's local chapters; 

   (iii) the organization of programmes of public lectures and discussion

   panels in various Canadian cities, through the agency of the Institute's

   local chapters; 

   (iv) the publication of a refereed scholarly journal, *Scripta

   Mediterranea*, on a yearly basis; 

   (v) the publication of a general bulletin, twice a year;

   (vi) the publication of a Web Page on the Internet with information

   about the Institute and its activities. 



                         --------------------------



Institut Canadien d'Etudes Mediterraneennes



Objectifs proposes



1.   L'Institut Canadien d'Etudes Mediterraneennes (ICEM) est une societe

savante consacree a l'etude des elements qu'ont en commun les differentes

cultures des pays mediterraneens. L'Institut est fonde sur le principe

selon lequel les pays mediterraneens ont, au cours de feur histoire,

toujours puise leur vitalite dans un substrat cultures, commun ou analogue,

vivifie par un constant dynamisme. 

2.   Le champ de ses interets n'est ni temporel, puisqu'il inclut les

aspects tout aussi bien modernes qu'anciens de la culture, ni linguistique,

vu la preoccupation de l'Institut pour les aspects particuliers des

cultures nationales aux dimensions extra-nationales qui constituent la base

d'autres cultures mediterraneennes.  Son champ d'interet est donc

conceptuel et geographique. 

3.   Ceci confere a l'ICEM le caractere d'une socidte savante unique au

Canada.  Bien que certains groupes se specialisent dans l'etude des

cultures nationales de la Mediterranee, aucun d'eux ne se penche

specifiquement sur leurs points de contact, sur la vitalite qu'elles

partagent ni sur les analogies qui les unissent.  Par consequent l'ICEM ne

rivalise aucunement avec les societes existantes et n'a pas l'intention de

reiterer leurs efforts. 

4.   L'ICEM s'interesse aussi bien a la decouverte d'idees nouvelles qu'a

l'interpretation d'idees acquises, et particulierement a celles qui

considerent la Mediterranee dans sa totalite en tant qu'unite conceptuelle

et paradigme interpretatif.  L'Institut se penche sur les etudes

culturelles comparees visant a identifier les formes et les idees que

partagent les pays mediterraneens en mettant l'accent sur les modalites de

tels partages. Il s'interesse aussi aux repercussions de ces derniers sur

la prise de conscience des cultures nationales vis-a-vis des autres pays

mediterraneens. 

5.   En tant qu'organisme, l'ICEM a l'intenfion de mettre en contact les

scientifiques interesses par cette recherche et de leur fournir une

structure qui leur permette de communiquer leurs conclusions a leurs

collegues ainsi que de divulguer le fruit de leur labeur. Il se propose

aussi de reunir les personnes qui, sans etre professionnellement impliquees

dans te domaine de la recherche, s'interessent a la Mediterranee,

aimeraient appuyer l'Institut et participer a ses activites. 

6.   Les activites de l'Institut seront les suivantes :

     (i) l'organisation de conferences interdisciplinaires nationales

     conformes a celles organise par d'autres societes savantes au Canada,

     qui permettront aux membres de l'Institut de presenter le resultat de

     leurs recherches. 

     (ii) l'organisation periodiquement par les Sections de l'Institut de

     conferences sur des sujets bien definis. 

     (iii) l'organisation de programmes publiques et de tables rondes dans

     differentes villes du Canada, par l'intermediaire des Sections de

     l'Institut. 

     (iv) la parution annuelle de *Scripta Mediterranea*, revue savante

     dument attestee. 

     (v) la parution d'un bulletin general deux fois par an.

     (vi) la parution d'un Web Page sur l'Internet avec des renseignements

     sur l'Institut et ses activites.

ancient comic opera company



University and college students from all corners of Ontario have been

entertained by *Clouds*, Toronto's oldest and funniest musical comedy. 

With the reopening of this hit musical in February due to popular demand,

we are again inviting students to come to our show.  .... This Greek

comedy, adapted and updated by a.c.o.c. Artistic Director Greg Robic, has

taken the Toronto theatre scene by storm ... in Robic's much modernized

translation. This preposterous play features irreverent parodies of

favorite songs from Gilbert and Sullivan, Wagner, Verdi, Bellini, Mozart,

and even a Slovenian Polka. Clouds is a fast-paced show that is a clever

and entertaining springboard for discussions across the curriculum, from

Classics to English, History, Drama, Music and Philosophy. A rarely

performed Greek comedy, Clouds provides a unique opportunity for students

to experience Classical theatre first-hand in an accessible, hilarious

form. 

A group discount and an educational package will be made available to you

if you decide to bring your students.  You and your students will also have

an opportunity to speak with the Artistic or Musical Director and an actor

following the performance.  Should you wish to preview the shows, we would

be pleased to offer you two complimentary tickets.  Please give me a call

DIRECTORIES



Scholars Press Membership Directories



The Information Technology Department of Scholars Press is pleased to

announce the availability of the combined membership directories for the

American Academy of Religion, the American Philological Association, the

American Schools of Oriental Research, the American Society of

Papyrologists, and the Society of Biblical Literature on TELA, at

http://scholar.cc.emory.edu.  Customized interfaces for these sponsors of

Scholars Press are available on their respective homepages. It is hoped

that making such membership directories available online will reduce

discussion list traffic requesting email or other contact information and

promote contact between scholars in these fields.  Mailto links are

provided for all members with email addresses in the membership databases

to facilitate email communication. 

Comments or questions concerning this database can be directed to Dr. James

Adair, Managing Editor, TELA, jadair@emory.edu, or to the undersigned. Your

patronage of the TELA site and suggestions for new resources or services

are always appreciated.
