[2] CALLS FOR PAPERS
(a) AMBIGUOUS BODIES: SEX, GENDER AND OVID
A Graduate Student Conference
The University of Chicago
February 21 - 22, 1997
Especially since the Women's Classical Conference panel in 1985 on the
reappropriation of classical texts, feminists and other theorists have
mined the works of Ovid, finding in them ample material for discussion and
frequently contesting their meaning. The goal of this conference is to
explore further these lines of inquiry by examining the use and importance
of gender and sex in the Ovidian corpus and the influence which Ovid's
interpretation of the female and the male has had on later literature. We
welcome abstracts on any aspect of the relation of sex and gender to Ovid,
including topics which address:
- the value of the works of Ovid in recovering ancient gender roles
- the author's use of gender ambiguity
- the importance and relevance of Ovid to feminists
- the construction (or deconstruction) of sex and gender difference
- Ovid's focus on the body
- the implications of a male writing about female experience
- the manipulation of Ovidian models of sex and gender by later authors
Please send 4 copies of a 500-800 word abstract and one cover letter by
Friday, October 18th to:
Conference - Ambiguous Bodies
The University of Chicago
Department of Classics
1050 E. 59th Street
Chicago, IL 60637

International Committee before the 15th December 1996. Papers should be
presented in any official language of the Colloquium (English, French,

of the Colloquium. The decision on the selection will be taken by the
International Committee.
The registration fee will be 10.000 pts. ($80 US). More detailed

[4] DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS
(a) DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICAL STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA
1. We are now a sector in the Department of Classics and Religious
Studies. Currently we are physically separate from the Religious Studies
sector, but in January we shall be sharing facilities on the ground and
first floors of the new Arts building at 70 Laurier Ave. E. Until then
all addresses and phone numbers remain the same.
2. The new Chairman of the Department of Classics and Religious Studies
is Peter Beyer (of the Religious Studies sector). The Associate Chairman
of the department is Richard Burgess (of the Classics sector).
3. The five remaining professors in the classics sector are Denis
Brearley, Richard Burgess, Eleanor Dickey, Martin Kilmer, and John Yardley
(currently on sabbatical). Michel Roussel, Jimmy Van de Maele, Ed
Bloedow, Michel Janon, and Louis Kelly have all retired. Pierre Brind'
Amour has died and David Welsh is on long term disability. Two positions
remain 'frozen' and are unlikely to be filled in the current
budget-cutting climate. The rest have been cut (4.5).
4. Eleanor Dickey has just been awarded the prestigious J. C. Polanyi
Prize in Literature from the Government of Ontario. It is a cash prize of
$15,000 and is named after John Charles Polanyi, the Nobel Laureate in
Chemistry. Four awards (only one in the arts) have been made each year
since 1987 to the most promising new post-doctoral researchers that year
at an Ontario university. Richard Burgess of this department won the
award in 1992. This department is one of only two that have had multiple
award winners in the Literature category and we are the only classicists
to have ever won the award. Eleanor has also just won the Hellenic
Foundation Prize for the best United Kingdom dissertation on Greek
literature and philosophy for 1996.
5. Publishing news: Eleanor Dickey's, *Greek Forms of Address* is about
to appear from Oxford University Press. John Yardley currently has three
contracts with OUP, the most prestigious probably being for a translation
of Livy 31-40 for Oxford's *World's Classics* series. Denis Brearley is
the contributing author of an about-to-appear volume of texts and
translations of the *Gospel of Nicodemus* and the *Vengeance of the
Saviour* for Cambridge University Press: *Two Old English Apocrypha and
their Manuscript Sources*, by J. E. Cross. Richard Burgess is about to
complete the manuscript of his next book and Martin Kilmer is working on
the sequel to hi s popular *Greek Erotica* volume from Duckworth.
6. Some statistics on the department: between 1981 and 1995 we increased
the number of students in our programmes by 175% making us the largest
Classics programme in Canada (119 last year; figures aren't in for this
year yet); since 1989 we have increased the number of students taking our
programmes as a second programme by roughly 100%; between 1990 and 1995 we
increased our first year registrations by 225%; and in the four years
between 1989 and 1995 we increased the number of registrations in our
courses by over 100%.
7. Admission to both our graduate programmes remains frozen. The PhD is
dead and we are currently attempting to come up with a plan to save a much
reduced MA, though we are not hopeful.
8. We still have our undergraduate programme and are trying our best to
offer decent concentration and honours programmes in both official
languages, though the loss of all regular funding for part-time teaching
will make this difficult.
9. We should like to thank all of you who wrote and sent faxes to the
Acting Dean of Arts and Rector earlier this year. As a result we were
able to stave off being swallowed by the Dept. of Modern Languages and
achieve a degree of autonomy within the new department. Such are our
small victories in this brave new province. Thank you all again!
--------------------------
(b) UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO
On September 1, 1996 the new Department of Anthropology and Classical
Studies at the University of Waterloo came into existence. Both
classicists and anthropologists are looking forward to new initiatives
that will offer our students more opportunities in both disciplines,
especially in archaeology. We hope to appoint an archaeologist who will
teach in both disciplines by January 1997.
Most of you now know that Bob Fowler has left Waterloo for Bristol. We are
fortunate to have appointed Dr. Riemer Faber to a tenure-track position so
that our expertise in philology will remain strong. We are also delighted
to have with us this year Dr. Michael Ieradi (full-time), and, on a
part-time basis, Dr. Kristin Lord and Ms. Susan Downie.
We have lost Sally Haag and Robert Porter to our Early Retirement program,
but hope that they will consent to teach a course now and then. Both have
been long-time pillars of the department.
