The Twenty-third Annual Byzantine Studies Conference will be held at

The conference is the annual forum for the presentation and discussion

required. Graduate students: please indicate your status. The abstracts

paper's original contribution in sufficient detail with some indication of
the contributor's conclusions so that the Program Committee may fairly

welcome.

--------------------------
(b) URBANIZATION AND THE HELLENISTIC WORLD
1997 APA Panel
We invite abstracts for the first panel of a three-year colloquium on
'Urbanization and the Hellenistic World.' The large, multi-ethnic urban
centers that developed in the Hellenistic period are generally agreed to
have been very different in character from the *poleis* of the Classical
period; each year's panel will focus on an inclusive topic that takes an
interdisciplinary approach to different aspects of this urbanization.
The first year's panel will be called "Representations of the City," and
will look at the way the city in the Hellenistic period represented itself
(e.g. architecture, poetry, urban planning) to itself and to others, as well
as the way it was portrayed and imagined by poets, artists and others.
Questions that might be considered in this panel include: does there
evolve in this period a pan-Hellenic (or cosmopolitan) urban aesthetic
that is different from previous polis-oriented art (both graphic and
literary)? are there important changes in architectural style/city
planning that have an impact on sculptural art? In this panel and all
subsequent panels participants are free to take a comparative approach,
or, if they choose, to focus on an individual city.
Papers from ALL disciplines are welcome.
Abstracts for the first panel, of no more than 800 words, should be sent
by February 1, 1997 to:
Alexander Sens
Department of Classics
Georgetown University
Washington DC 20057
U.S.A.
(202-687-7634; fax 202-687-8000)
who will ensure that all abstracts are circulated to referees
anonymously.
For a full description of this colloquium and its role in the APA
program, see the October APA newsletter insert, p. 12.
--------------------------
(c) GENDER AND SEXUALITY IN THE CLASSICAL WORLD: PANEL III: WOMEN'S
CULTURE, ITS FORMULATION AND TRANSMISSION
1997 APA
The Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Classical Caucus (John G. Younger,
Duke University, and Paul Rehak, Loyola University, Chicago, co-
chairs)
Papers are wanted for the third annual panel on gender and sexuality in
the Classical world. The modes through which women conveyed their
experiences are many, and discussions of women's culture in classical
antiquity have often concerned such topoi as Sappho, textiles, and
religious participation; further analysis, however, of other literary
forms, crafts, and social action is also needed. Possibilities include (and
are certainly not limited to) didactic poetry; occupations like sex-
working and possibly vase manufacture; and public performances in
concert and in the theatre, and in athletics. Many of these expressions
occurred in homosocial environments, while others deliberately used
heterosocial venues.
Since women developed and transmitted their culture in a wide variety
of ways, we encourage papers in all disciplines, especially in the areas
of literature, history, and art and archaeology. It is hoped that papers
will balance theory and methodology with data and results, and that the
presentation of ideas will be simple and clear.
The format of the 1997 panel may include an introduction, the papers,
and responses. After the papers are presented, a general discussion will
follow, open to all.
All abstracts will be refereed anonymously by two or more readers.
Please submit one-page abstracts no later than 1 February 1997.
Abstracts and requests for further information may be sent in hard-copy
to:
John G. Younger and Paul Rehak
Department of Classical Studies
PO Box 90103
Duke University
Durham, NC 27708-0103

or by e-mail to jyounger@acpub.duke.edu or prehak@acpub.duke.edu
--------------------------
(d) OLYMPIA-1: CHANGE OF DATE
After the preliminary announcement [which appeared in CCB 3.1],
many prospective participants, especially from Europe, requested the
postponement of the Congress for after July 1 in order not to coincide
with final exams and to be off-high season for hotels (this season in
Greece is June 15 to August 15). The next available such time for the
facilities of the International Olympic Committee at Olympia was
August 17-22 and it was decided that these would be the dates for the
Congress. The paper processing deadlines were modified accordingly,
as follows:
Submission of a 700-1000 word abstract: March 31
Notification of acceptance: April 15
Submission of full papers: June 30
Those who submitted abstracts already, are hereby requested to send
me a message if the new date is satisfactory, so that I can send the
abstracts to the organizing committee.
Best regards,
Andrew Dimarogonas

Almost 200 presentations are planned on the theme "The Greco-Roman
Rhetorical Tradition: Alterations, Adaptations, Alternatives." The
plenary speakers will be Professors Thomas Conley of Urbana, Laurent
Pernot of Strasbourg, Marijke Spies of Amsterdam, and Christine
Sutherland of Calgary. The Canadian Society for the Study of Rhetoric
(program to be announced) will meet in conjunction with the

Sessions of 2-7 seminars each will be running concurrently on the

On Wednesday afternoon, the conference will take place at

seminars on native American discourse.
Other special events have been planned to show international visitors
the history and cultures of the Canadian prairies. A reception at the
Western Development Museum will feature costumed guides on the
