It is now possible for departments and programmes to join the CAC. The new category of INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERSHIP, created at the last Annual Meeting in London, has now been set up on our membership renewal page. Rates are very modest – between $50 and $150. By obtaining an institutional membership, you show your institution's support for the CAC. As you know, the CAC promotes Classics and Ancient History throughout Canada by several means (competitions, awards, etc.) and offers several valuable services such as free announcement of positions and conferences in the Bulletin.

To become an institutional member, please use the regular membership form. Enter the name of the person who will receive the usual information: confirmation of payment, membership status, and renewal.

I'll be happy to announce new institutional memberships in the Bulletin. Thorneloe University is now an Institutional Member of the CAC !

I have received surprisingly few announcements in the past month, particularly for limited-term appointments. If it so happens that an announcement of yours did not make its way into the Bulletin, please let me know.

PLUTARCH AMONG THE BARBARIANS
Inaugural Meeting of the North American Sections of the International Plutarch Society
at the Banff Centre, Banff, Alberta, Canada, March 13-16, 2014
http://www.banffcentre.ca/
Please send abstracts of 300-400 words to Noreen Humble by April 30, 2013

From: Noreen Humble

Cultural identity is an important concern for writers of the second sophistic, but there has yet to be a concerted consideration of Plutarch's views on the matter. He is represented primarily by chapters in Goldhill's Being Greek Under Rome (2001) and Swain's Hellenism and Empire (1996). Yet Plutarch is especially important in this regard, since he lived during the period when the empire was really establishing an identity for itself (Julio-Claudians > Flavians > "Good Emperors") and he helped to usher in the second sophistic, where cultural identity, conceptions of the Greek past, and an understanding of the Greco-Roman present were being worked out in literature and rhetoric. Both the Lives and the Moralia obviously play an important role in our understanding of Imperial Greek impressions of the past and the present, and one of the aims of the conference will also be to consider Plutarch's oeuvre as a whole in this regard. Topics for consideration may include (but are not confined to): Plutarch's exploration of his own cultural identity as well as what it means to be Greek, what constitutes barbarism in Plutarch's eyes, Plutarch and the otherness of Sparta, Plutarch on the Macedonians, Plutarch compared with other second sophistic writers.
