[1] CALLS FOR PAPERS
a) PAC RIM SEMINAR (18-22 JUNE 1997)
The Department of Classics, University of Natal, South Africa, is hosting
the Eleventh Pacific Rim Seminar in Durban from 18-22 June 1997. The
conference theme is 'Writing Revolution: Roman Literary Responses to
Political Change.'
The purpose of this posting is to encourage scholars in Canada to offer a
paper who have not yet done so. I would like to attract a couple of more
scholars from Canada to the Seminar in Durban. I have generally not
invited scholars from North America to give papers unless they have
attended previous Pacific Rim Seminars, but I would like to encourage
Canadian scholars to attend and give papers.
In early January 1997 I shall be applying for conference funding from the
Centre for Science Development, South Africa. (Applications for funding
must be submitted five months in advance of the commencement of any
conference.) I shall provide names of participants and their university
affiliations; it will also help my funding application if I can provide
titles of papers. Therefore, I request that you forward me your
provisional title by 3rd January 1997. (I will call for final titles of
papers and 100-word abstracts at a much later date.) Naturally the title
of your paper should reflect the conference theme.
The following have offered to present papers at the Pacific Rim Seminar:
AUSTRALASIA
Robin Bond (University of Christchurch)
Peter Davis (University of Tasmania)
John Penwill (University of LaTrobe, Bendigo)

b) OPSIS: An Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference
April 4-6, 1997
Department of Classics, SUNY at Buffalo
Under the theme OPSIS, the graduate students at the State University of
New York at Buffalo are planning an interdisciplinary conference dealing
with issues of PERCEPTION. Papers are encouraged from graduate students
in a variety of disciplines: Classics, Art History, Philosophy,
Anthropology, Classical Archaeology, English, Comparative Literature,
Media Studies, Political Science, et alia. One of our main goals is to
continue the precedent begun with last year's successful conference,
TRANSLATIO (translation or transformation). This year we have chosen the
theme of OPSIS, for which papers should address questions of perception
relating to the ancient world - id est, interpretations of the
archaeological record, women and gender, race, the individual within the
collective, theatrical performance and audience, the source material for
aesthetic writing in modern literature, the portrayal of ancient
archetypes in popular cinema....
Papers should be 15-20 minutes in presentation. All submissions should be
one-page abstracts of approximately 300 words (no full-length papers,
please). Mail submissions to:
OPSIS Conference
c/o Department of Classics
712 Clemens Hall
SUNY Buffalo
Buffalo, NY 14260
DEADLINE: February 7, 1997
Notifications are scheduled for early March.
