[2] CALLS FOR PAPERS
A. IN CANADA
COMEDY AND THE DISCOURSE OF THE POLIS
Halifax, Nova Scotia
CHANGE OF DATE: Due to circumstances beyond our control the date for the
conference: "Comedy And The Discourse Of The Polis," previously announced
for October 23 and 24, 1997 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, has had to be changed
to October 3 and 4, 1997. The date for submissions of abstracts or
proposals is now, April 14, 1997. All other information about the
conference remains the same. (See CCB 3.6.)
--------------------------
B. OUTSIDE OF CANADA
(a) PHILOSOPHY AND MEDICINE: A DIALOGUE
Ninth International Conference on Greek Philosophy
The International Association for Greek Philosophy (IAGP), the
International Center for Greek Philosophy and Culture (ICGPC), the Society
for Ancient Greek Philosophy (SAGP - USA) and other academic and cultural
institutions and organisations have decided to organise the Ninth
International Conference on Greek Philosophy on the topic of Philosophy
and Medicine: A Dialogue.
The Conference will take place in Greece in August (20th-30th) on the
Aegean island of Kos.
The conference will have the following aims:
1. To examine the relationship between philosophy and medicine in Greek
thought from Pre-Socratic philosophy to the present (Pre-Socratic,
Classical, Hellenistic, Byzantine and modern Greek Philosophy). The
conference will explore the theoretical and operational hypotheses and
principles common to philosophy and medicine as scientific endeavours.
2. To examine theories and principles that can help us to formulate, in a
modern context, a value-system that meaningfully and appropriately
addresses questions of health, disease and therapy, and the relationship
between ourselves and the environment.
3. To develop a context for a dialogue between the theories of ancient
medicine and philosophy and modern medical problems that call for
philosophical consideration. The purpose is to hopefully pose problems and
seek solutions that will be of benefit to all in this critical period
where rapid advances in medical technology call for corresponding advances
in theoretical conceptions of human life, health and well-being.
The Conference is consequently open to all those concerned with
philosophy, medical theory and practice, specialists in Greek philosophy
and Greek medical thought, depth psychologists, and theorists in
psycho-analysis, history of Greek medicine, contemporary philosophy of
medicine and medical ethics.

(c) (RE)CONSTRUCTING IDENTITY IN THE ANCIENT WORLD
A Graduate Student Symposium
Sponsored by the Graduate Students of the Department of Classical and
Near Eastern Archaeology
Bryn Mawr College
October 17 and 18, 1997
Keynote speaker: Lauren Talalay, Kelsey Museum, University of Michigan
We invite papers from graduate students in departments of archaeology,
classics, anthropology, art history, and history, which address issues of
individual identity and group identity in ancient societies. Possible
paper topics include: identification of the individual using material
culture; the author/artist as individual; social ranking of the individual
within the group; concepts of ethnicity or other types of group identity;
the ways in which group and individual identities interact and change over
time; personal vs. regional styles in material culture; the construction
of the individual by the group. New or progressive methodological or
theoretical approaches are especially encouraged. Papers of twenty minutes
each will be arranged in panels according to common themes, with advanced
scholars in the field providing commentary. The conference proceedings
will be published electronically (final versions of papers due at the time
of the symposium). Pending additional funding we hope to publish a bound
volume of selected papers.
Due date for abstracts (300 words max.): April 4, 1997.

(d) TWENTIETH CENTURY RETROSPECTIVE: CRITICAL THEORY EXAMINES A HUNDRED
YEARS OF LITERATURE AND FILM
October 16-18, 1997
West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV
Suggestions for individual papers and panels of three or four papers
(especially desirable) are solicited for inclusion in a program examining
literature and/or film through any of the numerous critical theories once
or still in vogue. Possible approaches include but are not limited to the
following: Romanticism, Classicism, Expressionism, Formalism, Higher
criticism, Impressionism, Postmodernism, Semiotics and other linguistic
theories, Structuralism (Saussure, etc.), New criticism, and related
text-based approaches, including Explication de textes, Philosophical
theories, Hegelian dialectics such as Existentialism, Phenomenology, etc.,
Psychological criticism (Jungian, Freudian, etc.), Sociological and
economic criticism (Marxist, etc.), Myth criticism (Frye, etc.),
Symbolism, Reader-based criticism, Narratology, Aesthetic theories, Gay
and Lesbian criticism, Black criticism, Border literature criticism, Post
colonialism, Cognitive criticism, Deconstruction, New historicism,
Cultural criticism, Feminist theory, Hermeneutics.
Papers might be based on arguments characteristic of specific names such
as Irigay, Lacan, Bakhtin, Frye, Said, Foucault, Eagleton, etc., etc. Our
aim is to achieve diversity. The rationale is that for any given work or
author, any of a number of approaches may result in a fresh, new, valuable
interpretation. We are not validating or rejecting any of the preceding.
Each paper must make clear at the start which approach is being employed,
and sessions will be organized and divided according to these different
approaches rather than by subject, as far as possible.
Please send abstracts (a page; two at most) by May 1, 1997 or phone to
request a reasonable delay, to:

(c) BOOKS AT VIRGINIA: RARE BOOK SCHOOL 1997
Rare Book School (RBS) offers a collection of five-day, non-credit courses
on topics concerning rare books, manuscripts, and special collections.
Students make a full-time commitment to any course they attend, from 8:30
am to 5 pm, Monday-Friday; most students also attend an informal dinner
on the Sunday evening before their first class on Monday. In addition to
the formal classes, there are early-evening public lectures and other
events throughout the four weeks of RBS.
The educational and professional pre-requisites for RBS courses vary.
Some courses are primarily directed toward research librarians and
archivists. Others are intended for academics, persons working in the
antiquarian book trade, bookbinders and conservators, students of the
history of books and printing, and others with an interest in the subjects
being treated.
The tuition for each five-day course is $595. Low-cost, air-conditioned
dormitory housing will be offered on the historic central grounds of the
University, and nearby hotel accommodation is readily available. Students
are encouraged to take advantage of RBS's housing to arrive a few days
before their course, or stay a few days later, in order to give themselves
(and their families) a better chance to explore the Charlottesville area,
which includes many sites of historic interest as well as various vacation
attractions.

(d) ARISTOTLE: LIFE AND WORKS. FATHER OF MODERN ECOLOGY
This summer Professor George Rozos, a philosophically trained sociology
professor at the College of Staten Island/CUNY, and myself, Peter L.P.
Simpson, trained in ancient philosophy and a professor of philosophy at
the same college, are offering a 6-credit undergraduate course (though
arrangements could be made for graduate credit on an individual basis) on
"Aristotle: Life and Works. Father of Modern Ecology."
The course will be taught in Greece, at Athens, on Lesbos, and in
Thessaloniki, from June 9 to July 9 (group flights departing from New York
to Athens and returning from Thessaloniki to New York). There will be
field trips in and around Lesbos (including to the Turkish mainland,
politics permitting), and in and around Thessaloniki (as to Aristotle's
birthplace at Stagira and to the court of the Macedonian Kings). In
Athens, of course, we will visit the usual sites but we will not spend
much time there since the modern city is so unpleasant.
The course will give as full an exposure to the thought of Aristotle as
possible (especially his biological and scientific work) and will at the
same time be using Aristotelian ideas to focus on and to think through
modern approaches to the human environment (with particular reference to
the situation in Greece and especially Lesbos).
The cost is as follows (prices are subject to change but are more or less
definite):
Tuition: $810 (NY residents)
$1710 (Non-NY residents)
Program fee: $1550 (includes housing, fees, field trips--not food)
Airfare: $700
