We wish to draw your attention to the following scientific workshop that
will be held at Osmangazi University, Eskesehir, in western Turkey, on 20-
22 June 2004.
CONFRONTING CATASTROPHE IN THE ANCIENT WORLD
Human development over the last 11,500 years (the Holocene) is set against
an environmental backdrop of climatic and geological instability. The
natural actions of sudden and dramatic climatic shifts and of extreme
geophysical events ensure that nature in the ancient world was in flux, not
balance. But what are the cultural resonances of rapid environmental
change? How did past human communities adapt to and recover from a
constantly moving and frequently harmful natural world? And, most
critically, how can we disentangle the cultural consequences of natural
change from those of human action?
This 3-day workshop seeks to bring together an interdisciplinary forum of
geologists, archaeologists, historians, anthropologists, climate
scientists, and ecologists to critically examine human responses to past
rapid environmental change. The convenors encourage submission of research
presentations that are seeking to elucidate the cultural history of major
environmental downturns or reconstruct the environmental history of
dramatic cultural transitions. Contributions with an emphasis on
establishing high-resolution chronologies of cultural and environmental
change are particularly welcome.
Abstract deadline: 15 January 2004
The workshop is the joint initiative of two current international research
projects: (1) International Council for Science (ICSU) - ‘Dark Nature -
Rapid Natural Change And Human Responses’, and (2) International
Geological Correlation Programme Project 490 – ‘The Role Of Holocene
Environmental Catastrophes In Human History’.
An associated fieldtrip around key cultural and geological sites in western
Turkey will take place immediately following the workshop (24-30 June 2004).
A first circular with further details of the scientific programme, the
fieldtrip and the local and international scientific committee is currently
in preparation. However, those interested in participating are encouraged
to contact the main lead convenors as early as possible:

The Ancient Philosophy Society (APS) was established to provide a forum
for diverse scholarship on ancient Greek texts. Honoring the richness
of the American and European philosophical traditions, the APS supports
phenomenological, postmodern, Anglo-American, Straussian, Tubingen
School, hermeneutic, psychoanalytic, and feminist interpretations of
ancient Greek philosophical and literary works. It is the intention
that, within the larger aim of assessing the meaning and significance of
ancient Greek texts, the APS serve as the site of critical engagement
among these various schools of interpretation and that it encourage
creative and rigorous independent readings.
