Under "affiliation": indicate only the name of the University (or, as the case may be, "Independent Researcher")
Signature: leave empty
Under "Bio statement": indicate, as applicable, BA Student / MA Student / PhD Student / Postdoctoral Researcher / Other (specify) / Professor / Retired Professor; in the two last cases only, indicate also the Department, Institute or Research Center.

AND ALSO:

• Author (if you wish to submit a paper, now or later)

Click on: "Create"

You're all set!

It is important to fill in the various fields of your profile properly as the conference management system will assist me in providing you with information pertaining to the conference, such as circulars, the status of your abstract submission, etc.

Add the site to your favourite Bookmarks and keep informed of the latest updates!

Once you have created your profile, you may consult the Call for Papers, the Accommodation page, and you can submit an abstract. Later in the winter, you will also be able to read the abstracts of all accepted papers. Please note that the deadline for submission of proposals is January 15th 2016, and that you must be registered on the website before you can submit. The conference site is for registration purposes only; payment of conference and banquet fees can be made at forum.ideas-idees.ca starting early in the new year (instructions will follow).

IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL ENGLISH SPEAKING USERS OF THE ONLINE PAPER SUBMISSION:
A puzzling bug will stop you from proceeding to the final stage of submitting your proposal. While submitting in English the submission's metadata (step 2), an error message will appear asking you to start all over again: "Please enter the title...; Please enter an abstract...". In order to avoid this bug, please select "Français" in the list above. If you continue without choosing "Français" you will have to start again endlessly. Thank you for your understanding and my apologies for this.

We hope to see you soon in magnificent Quebec City!

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS:
INSTABILITY AND PERMANENCE: UNCOVERING ANNA PERENNA

From Gwynaeth McIntyre

In the third book of the Fasti, Ovid presents an aetiological narrative focused on the festival of Anna Perenna celebrated on the Ides of March (Fast. 3.523–696). His collection of tales about Anna Perenna provide compelling evidence of her mutiplicity of identities in the Roman imagination. Indeed, her appearances in the Fasti, Aeneid, and Punica (and, to a lesser extent, the Heroides) connect Anna to the foundational legends and military history of Rome. The recently published fragments of Decimus Laberius, together with archaeological evidence, situate the figure of Anna Perenna within the context of Roman performance and spectacle. Epigraphic evidence from her sacred grove, recently discovered in Rome, indicates that Anna was an important object of cult worship and Roman religious ritual, a fact also corroborated by the literary sources. Her depiction on a coin minted by Annius Luscus emblematizes the trend of appropriating and promoting mythic and divine ancestors that was prevalent among Roman gentes of the first century BCE.

Anna’s fluctuating and unstable identity stands in contrast to her frequent association with the concept of continuity and eternity. In Roman religion and ritual, Anna assumed the role of a fertility goddess, a deity with an eternal and enduring nature tasked with ensuring the continuous prosperity of the earth. Even her name marks her as a figure of perpetuity; the name Perenna shares a pseudo-etymological connection with the Latin perennis (“everlasting, perpetual”), and Ovid connects it to the “everlasting stream” in which Anna lies hidden after her transformation into a river nymph (amne perenne latens Anna Perenna uocor, Fasti 3.654).

The complex and multifaceted figure of Anna has received surprisingly little scholarly attention, despite her presence in a wide range of sources. Yet a comprehensive study of Anna Perenna provides us with a unique opportunity to shed new light on various facets of the Roman world, from its religious practices and politics to its legendary history and poetic production. Ovid, when introducing the aetiological tale of Anna Perenna, stresses inclusivity – no tale will be concealed (fabula nulla … tegendo, Fasti 3.544). In similar fashion, the chief aim of this volume is to present groundbreaking scholarship that explores this enigmatic and important subject from all possible perspectives. Instability and Permanence: Uncovering Anna Perenna promises to be an interdisciplinary study of great interest to scholars of Roman archaeology, history, literature, mythology, and religion.

Current contributions include:
Sarah McCallum: The alternative Anna-Aeneas tradition in the Aeneid 4 and Fasti 3
Gwynaeth McIntyre: Anna Perenna and her sacred nymphs
Carole Newlands: Anna Perenna in Ovid
with a concluding chapter by T.P. Wiseman

We invite abstracts that deal with any aspect of the figure of Anna Perenna from the literary and archaeological sources.  In an effort to gather the most innovative research, we welcome contributions from all areas of study related to this enigmatic and multi-faceted figure. Possible questions to be investigated, and topics to discuss include (but are not limited to):

• How is Anna represented in Latin literary sources (e.g. Decimus Laberius, Anna Peranna; Vergil, Aeneid 4; Ovid, Fasti 3 and Heroides; Silius Italicus, Punica 8)?
• In what ways are competing alternative traditions about Anna Perenna acknowledged or suppressed in these literary sources?
• What archaeological evidence remains for cult sites connected to the worship of Anna Perenna?
• The figure of Anna Perenna in relation to Roman religion and ritual practice, and/or her role as a fertility goddess and identification with water nymphs
• The depiction of the figure of Anna Perenna in ancient art
• The figure of Anna Perenna in relation to ancient performance and spectacle
• How do the various representations of Anna Perenna reflect contemporary historical and cultural realities

Our proposed timeline is as follows:

• The deadline for abstract submission is January 15, 2016, after which we will begin reviewing the abstracts.
• Invitations for contributions will be sent by January 30, 2016.
• Completed chapters will be due on August 1, 2016.
• Publication of the final edited volume is projected for Summer 2017.

Please address your abstract or questions related to submission to both Gwynaeth McIntyre (gwynaeth.mcintyre@otago.ac.nz) and Sarah McCallum (smccallum@fas.harvard.ed). Abstracts should not exceed 500 words in length and should include a bibliography (not included in word count).

The Canadian Institute in Greece invites applications for the Elisabeth Alföldi-Rosenbaum Fellowship to be held at the Institute in Athens from 1 September 2016 to 31 May 2017.

The applicant must be pursuing graduate or post-doctoral studies and have a clear need to work in Greece, and must be a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant. The areas of research should follow those of Professor Alföldi-Rosenbaum, namely Hellenistic to Early Byzantine, in the fields of archaeology, art history, history, epigraphy or related topics.

In any subsequent publication of the research work done under the auspices of this fellowship, the recipient will acknowledge both the Canadian Institute in Greece and the Elisabeth Alföldi-Rosenbaum Fellowship.

The Fellow will spend at least nine months resident in Athens and, in addition to his or her studies, the Fellow will help the Assistant Director of CIG with the work in the office and library (10 hours per week). Therefore, some previous experience in Greece and some knowledge of Modern Greek is an asset.

The Fellow will receive a stipend of C$8,000 and free accommodation in the CIG hostel for the nine-month period of the fellowship (1 September to 31 May).

To apply, write to Prof. Gerald Schaus (gschaus@wlu.ca) by 1 March 2016, including a curriculum vitae and an outline of the proposed research. Please provide the names and e-mail addresses of three referees who are willing to support your application.
