CALL FOR PAPERS
>
>Speaking Your Mind / Minding Your Speech in Classical Antiquity
>
>A graduate conference in the Dept. of Classics
>at Princeton University
>March 5-7, 2004
>
>Keynote Speakers:
>Ellen Oliensis, University of California at Berkeley
>Ralph Rosen, University of Pennsylvania
>
>
>Whether a society espouses "freedom of speech" as the right of all
>or the privilege of the few, the articulation of this concept rarely
>(if ever) aligns with its practice. Every individual and group must
>navigate multiple levels of constraint imposed upon expression,
>whether these are explicitly prescribed by an authoritative body
>or enshrined through convention and decorum. Similarly, agents
>must negotiate changes in historical circumstance that affect the
>laws and customs surrounding different kinds of self-expression,
>including speech, behavior, dress, and aesthetics.
>
>We invite papers that explore the freedoms and limitations that
>agents encountered in the ancient Mediterranean world. Possible
>topics include theories of free speech; self-expression that is
>hidden by necessity (e.g. magic and mysticism); ways in which
>speakers try to achieve their ends by modifying their expression
>in response to political, religious,and social constraints,
>including gender, class, and morality; the social contexts of
>these constraints; and historical watersheds in the regulation
>of expression.
>
>The problem of freedom of expression is not confined to history.
>We are living in a time when First Amendment protections have come
>under renewed scrutiny; limits explicitly or implicitly imposed
>upon public action and private expression emphasize both the power
>of personal expression and the struggle to control it. Following
>the presentation of papers, we will host a roundtable discussion
>chaired by Josiah Ober to consider ancient responses in light of
>contemporary issues.
>
>Please send anonymous abstracts of up to 500 words by
>October 31, 2003 to:
>
>Dept. of Classics
>ATTN: Graduate Conference
>141 East Pyne
>Princeton University
>Princeton, NJ 08544.

>address, phone number, and email address on a separate sheet.

The Department of Classical Studies at the University of
> Michigan, together with the Program in Comparative Literature, has
> authorization to make a tenure-track appointment in Latin literature
> with special emphasis on literary theory. The appointment will be
> three-quarters in Classical Studies and one-quarter in Comparative

> interests in any area of Latin who is eager to build connections with
> other literatures and disciplines. Teaching responsibilities will
> include courses in Classical Civilization, Latin at the undergraduate
> and graduate level, and courses in comparative literature drawing on a
> variety of theoretical approaches to Latin literature and Roman
> culture. Competency in teaching Greek through the higher
> undergraduate level is also expected. Candidates with teaching
> experience and substantial publications will be preferred. At
> minimum, the Ph.D. must be completed by August, 2004. Dossiers
> (including at least three letters of recommendation) and publications
> (or at least one approved chapter of a dissertation) should be sent by
> November 15, 2003, to Professor Richard Janko, Chair, Department of
> Classical Studies, The University of Michigan, 2160 Angell Hall, Ann
