Subj: Name change: EMC/CV
A year ago, we posted on the CAC Electronic Newsletter the message which
has been reproduced below. At the CAC AGM in 1999 we will be providing a
notice of motion (with the motion itself to be brought forward at the AGM
in 2000) that the current name of EMC/CV be changed in accordance with our
earlier recommendations. In order to encourage further discussion on this
subject, we are inviting members of the CAC to express their opinions and
offer their suggestions on the classics-canada listserve. We would
especially like to hear your opinions about (a) the changing of the
journal's name, and (b) the specific proposal to adopt the name *Mousaion*.
J.L. Butrica
M. Joyal
To the members of the Classical Association of Canada:
When we assumed the editorship of EMC/CV in 1994, we pledged to emphasize
continuity over change in our management. Now we ask you to allow us one
substantial change.
This journal began of course as Classical News and Views in English, Echos
du Monde Classique in French. While Phoenix was "The Journal of the
Classical Association of Canada," this was its newsletter, devoted chiefly
to announcements of programmes and competitions, discussions of pedagogical
issues, and other lighter material. Although it sometimes published
substantial work by major scholars even during this phase of its existence,
it became a serious journal in every respect only in 1982 with its arrival
in Calgary, where it became Classical Views; it continued to be a serious
journal through its years in Victoria, while a suitable venue for the more
ephemeral material that it formerly carried has been created in the
Canadian Classical Bulletin.
Nevertheless, despite this evolution, there seems to persist a perception
within Canada that Phoenix is the "journal" of the CAC while EMC, as the
lesser publication, is the venue of second resort to which one sends what
Phoenix has rejected. It is also clear that this perception is tied up not
only with the journal's history but with its name as well. Classical Views
suggests a magazine offering light opinion pieces on ancient topics rather
than rigorous scholarship, rather like the American journal Classical
Outlook. Echos du Monde Classique sounds no less lightweight, even trivial.
A further difficulty of the current nomenclature is the inconcinnity
between the standard abbreviation and the English title in common use.
Canadians have long since become accustomed to it; but it is far less easy
for a foreign scholar to make the appropriate connection between a journal
abbreviated EMC and one that he has heard called Classical Views.
For these reasons, and because EMC/CV is now recognized in the constitution
of the CAC as one of the association's two journals, it seemed appropriate
to seek a new name that would simplify its nomenclature while reflecting
its status as a journal, not a newsletter. CAC Council has already
expressed its strong support for this proposal. It seems desirable that,
for the sake of simplicity, the journal should have a single name capable
of being understood by both francophone and anglophone classicists. We are
therefore coming to the membership of the CAC to solicit comments and
advice on the proposed change as well as suggestions for a new name. We
ourselves are suggesting Mouseion, together with the subtitle Journal of
the Classical Association of Canada/Revue de l'Association Canadienne des
Etudes Classiques. This name is appropriately serious and also reflects
the breadth of contents, which is unique among current classical journals.
(The name is not intended to recall the Alexandrian Museum specifically but
only to suggest a space over which the nine Muses preside as patrons of
intellectual activity; but those who find the name stuffy or pretentious
are free to think of it as Mouseen Talaros instead.) We are aware that
the name is currently used elsewhere, by a network of Italian museums, for
example, and by a French museological journal, but L'Ann=E9e Philologique
indexes nothing closer than Museon, a journal of oriental studies. It
seems unlikely that the new name will be any more confusing than the
current one. We propose that there should be a vote on the change at the
AGM in 1999, that any change in name become effective in the year 2001, and
that the journal begin a new series in that year.

[EDITOR'S NOTE: To provide colleagues with a flavour of the discussion I
have quickly put together a digest of the messages to Classics-Canada (to
which list only perhaps a third of them subscribe); it is hastily edited

In spring 2000 the British School at Athens, in collaboration with UK

analytical expertise, and practical experience necessary for effective
research into ancient Greece, particularly into topics combining
archaeology and ancient history. [..........]
Cost (1998 figures, subject to review): course fee of GBP 625 (normally
paid by the UK institution) plus accommodation charges (including most
meals) of GBP 13.50 per day.
Closing date: 1 November 1999, after which enquiries about late
applications should be made to the London office. Approximately ten places
will be available. Application forms are available from the London office
or from: British School at Athens, Souidias 52, GR-106 76 Athens, tel.

Subject: Announcement: Greek-in-Greece study abroad program, spring 2001
Preliminary information about Ohio University's Greek-in-Greece trip for
spring 2001 is now posted on our website.
http://www.classics.ohiou.edu/studyabroad/pages/greek_in_greece.htm.
The program is 10 weeks long and gives 16 quarter hours' (ca. 11
semester hours') credit for 4 courses: (1) On-site study of Greek
history/archaeology; (2) beginning modern Greek; (3) Classical Greek:
Homer [6-8 books of the Odyssey]; (4) Classical Greek: Plato [Erastai,
Lysis, 1st half of Phaedrus]. Applicants must be prepared to read Homer

If students begin planning now, they will find economic and other
obstacles very manageable.
