(b) THREE-YEAR COLLOQUIUM ON EARLY GREEK CULTURE AND SOCIETY
(c. 1200 to 600 B.C.)
1997 Panel on "Approaching the Early Greek Economy"
APA 1997, Chicago
David W. Tandy, University of Tennessee
In Greece the period of c. 1200 to 600 embraces the transition from the
collapse of the Aegean Bronze Age palatial economies, through
restructurings of society in the Early Iron Age, to the emergence of
Archaic Greek city-states. Within ancient studies generally, early Greece
is a prime field for interdisciplinary work combining archaeology,
history, and literature, as well as for the deployment and testing of
anthropological and other social-scientific approaches to questions of
early society and economy, cultural continuity and change, political
development, and the social significance of material culture and of
literature and literary forms. In 1995, this colloquium presented a series
of papers on state formation; in 1996, the focus is on cultural continuity
and change.
For 1997, we welcome proposals for papers on early Greek economic
organization. How does one undertake to reconstruct or model the so-
called "primitive" forms of economic life at different stages of regional
and local social development? How did the embedded redistributive
economies in the local Aegean communities function? What part did gift-
exchange play in inter-community relations? What were the economic
relations between the Aegean and neighboring areas, and did these undergo
changes? How do we articulate the nature of Greek "trade" throughout this
time period? Does the movement of Greek goods require Greek movers? What
role(s) can be articulated for the Phoenicians in Mycenaean, Dark Age, and
Archaic local and regional economies? These suggestions are not, of
course, intended to be prescriptive. The colloquium is especially eager to
see proposals that consider the application of economic theory to the
material and literary records and proposals that trace economic continuity
or change over time.
All abstracts will be refereed anonymously, in writing, by two or more
readers. Submit abstracts (in the APA format, 500-800 words; see the APA
Newsletter for details) to:
David W. Tandy
Department of Classics
University of Tennessee
Knoxville, TN 37996-0471
U.S.A.
E-mail: dtandy@utk.edu
Deadline for abstracts is February 1, 1997.
--------------------------
(c) THREE-YEAR COLLOQUIUM ON IDEOLOGY AND POETIC FORM
1997 Topic: Greek Lyric
APA 1997, Chicago
This colloquium understands ideology as that set of representations by
which we situate ourselves, and are ourselves situated, in relation to the
larger social world that surrounds us. Ideology, therefore, is not simply
a conspiracy of the ruling class but includes the full range of discourse
that can be elaborated both by regimes and by oppositional movements to
construct and maintain images of themselves.
One of the means through which this self-constructive activity took place
in antiquity was through its conscious or implicit investment in received
literary forms. It is through these forms that we propose to investigate
the complex ideological workings of the ancient Mediterranean world. The
colloquium will examine a specific genre each year.
The topic for the 1997 meeting will be Archaic and early classical Greek
lyric, defined broadly to include not only all poetry written in lyric
meters (whether individual or choral), but also elegy and iambus. We are
soliciting papers that study individual authors in their relation
(accessory, adversarial, or mixed) to the Archaic and early classical
polis, in particular their relation to the competition between
aristocratic and egalitarian discourses. We also welcome papers that
document the ideological orientation or historical evolution of lyric (and
its sub-genres), including its relation to the ideologies presented in
Homeric epic.
The coordinator for the 1997 colloquium will be Jeffrey S. Carnes. All
abstracts will be judged anonymously and should be sent no later than
February 1, 1997 to:
Barbara Gold, Secretary

(d) DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR THE HUMANITIES 97
St Annes College Oxford
14-17 September 1997
Mission: DRH97 aims to become a new forum for all those affected by the
digitization of our common cultural heritage: the scholar producing or
using an electronic edition; the teacher using digital media in the
seminar room; the publisher finding new ways to reach new markets; the
librarian, curator, art historian, or archivist wishing to improve both
access to and conservation of the digital information that characterizes
contemporary culture and scholarship.
Format : The conference will take up three intensive days of academic
papers, panel discussions, technical reports, and software demonstrations,
held this year in a comfortable Oxford college. The atmosphere will, we
hope, encourage a lot of energetic discussion, both formal and informal.
Leading practitioners of the application of digital techniques and
resources in the Humanities, from the worlds of scholarship,
librarianship, and publishing will be there, exchanging expertise,
experience, and opinions.
Sponsors: The conference is sponsored by the British Library, the Office
for Humanities Communication, the Arts and Humanities Data Service, the
Centre for Computing in the Humanities of Kings College London, the
International Institute for Electronic Library Research of de Montfort
University, the Library of University College London, and the Humanities
Computing Unit of Oxford University.
Timetable: Proposals are invited for academic papers, themed panel
sessions and reports of work in progress. Extended abstracts (1500 to two
thousand words) should be submitted by April 7th 1997. All proposals will
be reviewed by an independent panel. Full versions (2 to 4 thousand words)
of accepted papers will be required by July 7th 1997 for inclusion in the
conference proceedings.
Themes: Creation of digital resources, textual, visual, and time-based;
integration of digital resources as multimedia; policies and strategies
for electronic delivery, both commercial and non-commercial; cataloguing
and metadata aspects of resource discovery; pedagogic implications of
digital resources and electronic delivery; encoding standards;
intellectual property rights; funding, cost-recovery, and charging
mechanisms; digitization techniques and problems.
Cost and accommodation: We hope to hold the conference fee at last year's
level (225 pounds, covering lunches, dinners, and the whole academic
programme). For accommodation, delegates can choose between ensuite rooms
at 45 pounds/day or study/bedrooms with shared bathroom at 30 pounds/day
for B & B. All accommodation is on campus in modern purpose-built blocks
adjoining the quadrangle and within a few minutes walk of all conference
facilities. The conference banquet will cost an additional 40 pounds.
Further information: The conference web site at
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~drh97
will be regularly updated, and will include full details of the procedure
for submitting proposals, the programme, and registration information.

[3] DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS
(a) The Department of Anthropology and Classical Studies at the University
of Waterloo is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Maria Liston as
an Assistant Professor (tenure-track). Dr. Liston has a BA in Classics and
a BA in Anthropology, as well as an MA in Classics, and a PhD in
Anthropology. She is both an active classicist and anthropologist,
currently conducting fieldwork at Kavousi on Crete and at Fort William
Henry in New York State. She has published several articles and field
reports on both Old and New World sites. She is an effective promoter of
the discipline of archaeology, as seen in her participation in television
programs commissioned for The Learning Channel and The Discovery Channel,
and in her numerous public lectures. Most important to the new department
is her outstanding record as a teacher: in 1995 Dr. Liston won the
President's Award for Excellence in Teaching at Adirondack College (New
York). Her appointment marks the culmination of a lengthy international
search for a joint appointment in the two disciplines which make up the
Faculty of Art's newest department. In the coming academic year she will
teach courses in both disciplines, and will offer our students new
opportunities in archaeological studies. We are all delighted to welcome
her!

of Classics at Western. In addition, we have included links to other
Classics sites on the Internet in order to help both our students and
anyone else who is interested to access the wide variety of Classics and
Classics-related sites on the World Wide Web. Comments, suggestions and
inquiries about our site and our programs are welcome. The URL for our web

[4] L'ANNEE PHILOLOGIQUE
[The following notices appeared recently on the University of Washington
Classics list.]
(a) For those interested, I have some publication dates for the printed
volumes of APh. The 1993 volume is to appear any day now. For the 1994 and
1995 volumes the Paris editors are planning a simultaneous publication,
expected for January 1998, since 1994 is the last volume that was
completed in the traditional manner (entries printed on slips that are
turned in to the printer, with consequent printing delays). The 1995
volume is the first that will be done entirely electronically, and the
plan is to make up a good part of our delay on that volume and more on the
1996 volume.

There are also several new software features including selectable French
or English interfaces (with thanks to Richard Goulet who provided the
French translations), a separate Greek word index, users notes in both
Windows and Macintosh versions, a newly designed search window with access
to all eighteen indexes, and facilities for printing or downloading
designated items from the results lists.
The price remains the same.

(b) EAGLE, SCIMITAR & CROSS
The Cultural Legacy of Roman & Medieval Spain
May 2 - 16, 1997
Directors:
Alexander G. McKay
David L. Simon
Sonia C. Simon
The Campanian Society's exploration into the eventful world of Roman,
Visigothic, Islamic and Christian Spain offers a diversified witnessing to
the historical and cultural experience of Spain from uniquely rich and
important vantage points. The directors bring their expert knowledge and
familiarity to a program which has been designed to highlight distinctive
sites, museums and galleries throughout the peninsula in Catalonia,
Andalusia, Murcia, Extremadura and Castille.
The role of Spain in the economic and political history of the Roman
Empire is formidable and impressive, and Roman art and literature
unquestionably reflect mutual influences at home and abroad. Remarkable
city planning, prodigious engineering and ardent religion are in the
foreground in the experience of the Late Roman Empire and the successor
Visigothic period offers impressive testimony to a constructive merging of
Hispano-Romans with their Gothic masters. The impact of Christianity and
Islam on the peninsula is profound and Spain's cultural ties with Europe
and the Middle East are impressive, visible phenomena. The cultural relics
of Islam, in architecture and in sculpture, in ivories, ceramics, textiles
and metalwork, and the flowering of Christian art into Romanesque forms
have been woven together to form the intricate and complex pattern that is
Spain.
Our limits, of course, extend beyond the medieval world to later,
particularly modern architectural triumphs and to celebrated paintings by
Goya, Ribera, Velasquez, El Greco and Zurbaran in the Prado Museum and
elsewhere.
The carefully assembled itinerary will be previewed daily by lectures and
by voice and musical tape recordings. Although Roman and Mediaeval Spain
provide the core material for our marvelous adventure, time and space will
be regularly assigned to the overall artistic and cultural aspects of
Spain, from its earliest awakenings to the present.

* Transatlantic flight from New York to Barcelona with return from Madrid.
Add On Fares are available from other cities.
* Accommodations in first class hotels
* Continental breakfast and 12 dinners
* Transportation throughout session
