[1] REGISTRATION FOR THE 1997 LEARNEDS
Members of the CAC who plan to attend the 1997 Learneds in St. John's
should be aware that the Learneds Secretariat has decided not to send out
registration and information booklets to all members of all Learned
Societies but to send them out only upon request. In a brochure
distributed at Brock this year they announced a deadline of 15 October for
such requests, but it seems unlikely that this can be maintained
seriously. Booklets will be distributed in January or February, but
requests should be made as soon as possible. Information about the
Learneds is available on the Internet at
http://www.mun.ca/learneds/
but currently booklets can be requested only through the e-mail address
learneds@morgan.ucs.mun.ca. Members who read this message are requested
to make its contents known to members who do not have access to the
electronic bulletin.

[2] CALLS FOR PAPERS
(a) VIVA VOCE: ECHOES OF PERFORMANCE IN THE ANCIENT TEXT
A graduate students' conference
Department of Classics, Brown University
February 7-8, 1997
The aim of this conference is to reassess the performative quality of
Greek and Roman texts, and map its extension into other modes of
discourse, other cultural institutions, and even into the medium of the
text, where performance is usually said to come to an end. In so doing we
hope to refocus our attentions on the power performance exerted over its
ancient audiences and improve our appreciation of this aspect of the
works.
We invite submissions which deal with a range of issues starting from, but
not limited to, the following: criteria for distinguishing the
performative quality of the texts; the place and power of performance in
philosophy, in oratory; the ideology and ritual which underlie and
accompany performance; settings for performance other than the theater;
and finally, the transition from performance to writing. In addition to
panel discussions on these and similar topics, we will also hold a
roundtable devoted to one or two questions of broader interest.
3 copies of one-page abstracts, anonymous but with cover letter indicating
name, address, affiliation, and paper title, should be sent by October 15,
1996, to:
Viva Voce Abstracts
c/o Dept. of Classics
Box 1856
Brown University
Providence, RI 02912-1856
Questions may be sent via e-mail to: Jennifer_Rowley@Brown.edu.

(b) ASSOCIATION OF ANCIENT HISTORIANS
Spring 1997 Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas
The 1997 annual meeting of the Association will be held in San Antonio on
May 1-3 (opening reception on the evening of Thursday, May 1, morning and
afternoon sessions for papers on May 2 and 3). The sessions on May 2 will
be held at the San Antonio Museum of Art, which has the largest and finest
collection of ancient art in the South and Southwest; the Museum galleries
will be open all day. The annual banquet on the evening of May 2 and the
two sessions on May 3 will be at Trinity University. A special morning
session on May 3 will comprise four invited papers by senior members of
the Association surveying recent work in Greek and Roman history. The
other three sessions will be devoted to the other topics announced in the
previous Newsletter, namely "Human Sacrifice in the Ancient World,"
"Women and Property," and "the Invention of Tradition" (as defined and
discussed by Eric Hobsbawm in the book of that title in relation to the
19th century).
If you wish to offer a paper for any one of these sessions, please submit
a title and abstract to the Chair of the organizing committee:
Dr. Colin Wells
Department of Classical Studies

San Antonio, TX 78212-7200
e-mail: cwells@trinity.edu
fax (210) 736-7305
tel. (210) 736-7647

long the paper will be -- either 15 or 30 minutes is acceptable. The
deadline for submissions is November 15 and we intend to publish the
provisional program right after Thanksgiving.
--------------------------
(c) 50th Annual Kentucky Foreign Language Conference: Classics Sections
University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky
April 17-19, 1997
Brief (no more than 2-page) abstracts are solicited for at least one open
session (no specified topic) and the following two panel sessions. Each
session will have up to 5 papers.
"HUMOR, SATIRE, AND RELIGION"
Humorous and satirical treatments of religious themes have a distinguished
pedigree in Greek and Latin literature and have been used, both in
antiquity and in later ages, to dismiss or rationalize religion. Yet these
texts can also contribute to a positive understanding of religious
consciousness or practice in antiquity. Papers are solicited which examine
these texts for such positive contributions, for example, in defining
"correct" religious opinion or action, distinguishing between religion and
superstition, etc. We hope to include a broad chronological perspective,
and proposals ranging from the earliest Greek literature through Christian
Late Antiquity will be considered.
"BODY GREEK/BODY ROMAN"
Recent scholarship has exploded the traditional contrast between Greek
openness and Roman prudery regarding the body, but what distinctions, if
any, has it left? This session explores the state of this question. Papers
are solicited arguing either that there are views and concepts of the
body that can be identified as characteristically Greek or Roman, or that
such distinctions are invalid or impossible. Proposals focusing on
multi-disciplinary approaches (e.g. Bourdieu, Laqueur, etc.) and the most
recent scholarship are particularly encouraged.
Proposals should be sent by November 22, 1996 electronically or by mail or
fax to either:
James Francis (jafran1@pop.uky.edu)
Ross Scaife (scaife@pop.uky.edu)
or:
Classics Department
Patterson Tower 1015 phone (606) 257 3386
University of Kentucky
Lexington, KY 40506-0027 fax (606) 257-3743
Further information and details on registration may also be obtained from
the above and on-line at:
http://www.uky.edu/ArtsSciences/KFLC/welcome.html
http://www.uky.edu/ArtsSciences/Classics/kflc.html
Acceptance of your paper implies a commitment on your part to register and
attend the conference. All presenters must pay the appropriate
registration fee: $50 by April 1, $55 after April 1; $10 for graduate
students.

(d) SEX & SEXUALITY IN THE ANCIENT WORLD
Saturday, March 1, 1997
The Classics Graduate Association of the University of Virginia invites
graduate students to participate in a colloquium at the University of
Virginia. The featured speaker will be Eva Cantarella, author of
*Bisexuality in the Ancient World* and professor at the University of Milan.
Send abstracts to:

Department of Classics
401 New Cabell Hall

Deadline for abstracts is January 15, 1997.
--------------------------
(e) CATULLUS AND OVID: THE NEW AP LATIN LITERATURE EXAM
In 1995 the AP syllabus was expanded by the inclusion of the Catullus-Ovid
option. In drawing conclusions from the results of the students who took
the Catullus-Ovid exam, Judith De Luce (CO 71.3 [1996]) observed that
since some students will be taking this exam earlier than they would have
taken the Vergil or Catullus-Horace exams, they will be less accomplished
in reading Latin, and this relative inexperience was reflected in their
answers. At the last ACL Institute, some teachers who taught the
Catullus-Ovid syllabus for the first time also expressed a desire for
ideas on how to make connections between selections from the two poets and
how to teach the poems more effectively for their students.
Consequently it seems opportune to devote a panel to the teaching of
poetry to secondary students in relation to the new AP Catullus-Ovid
option. We welcome proposals on how to teach more effectively critical
analysis of the poems in the syllabus and the writing of essays that
demonstrate students' critical analysis of the poems. We also solicit
proposals on aspects of amatory rhetoric in Catullus and Ovid, including
thematic links between the two poets, and connections between their
amatory poetry and modern amatory poetry and lyric.
Abstracts should be between 500-800 words and should include relevant
bibliographical items. Final presentations should be no more than 20-25
minutes in length. Proposed abstracts will be read anonymously by the
panel organizer (Dr. Judith Lynn Sebesta, Department of Classics,
University of South Dakota, Vermillion SD 57069) and members of the ACL
executive committee in accordance with APA guidelines. Please submit three
(3) copies of abstracts to Judith Sebesta by February 1, 1997.

(f) THE SEA IN ANTIQUITY
Universities of Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester
The Transpennine Ancient History Seminar (Universities of Leeds, Liverpool
and Manchester) announces a seminar series on The Sea in Antiquity during
1996/7, 1997/8 (and possibly 1998/9). The primary focus will be on the sea
as asset, hindrance, and resource, how it was used and exploited, the
resources necessary to do so, and its inherent limitations, from the late
Bronze Age to Justinian and from the Mediterranean and Black Seas to the
Red Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The first seminar, on the subject of
Piracy, will be held in Manchester in early/mid May 1997 in conjunction
with the annual "Norman Baynes" meeting of ancient historians at nearby
Keele University. Offers of papers from North American colleagues are
warmly welcomed. Please contact:
