INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM
“ Emotions over Time: Ancient Pathê and Modern Sentiments, a Comparative
Approach”.
Rethymnon December 9-10 2005
The Symposium will focus on emotions and on their definition and reception
by ancient and/or modern authors. It aims in the first place to illuminate
through a comparative conversation the specific character of ‘ancient’
emotions and the way in which they differ from ‘modern’ definitions of
feelings and their practice. It looks to interrogate the Aristotelian
dimension of persuasive and collective pathê and the inner and private
feelings of modern times.
Our investigation will also turn attention to representations of states
of emotions and their cultural significance in historiography,
philosophy, drama and literature, and the way they have been formulated by
historians and by literary critics.

Those here into podcasting will, I am sure, be delighted to learn of the
Stoa's Latin podcasting experiment, http://www.stoa.org/?p=250, where you
will find instructions for plugging the relevant URL into your copy of
iTunes, from which, if you wish, spoken Latin may be downloaded to your
iPod, for suitably uplifting enjoyment on public transport etc. (Observer,
noticing the expression of rapt concentration:
"Say, what *are* you listening to?" You, delighted to be asked:
"Oh, just an introduction in Latin to a podcasting experiment....")
So far there's only the Prima Salutatio of 3 minutes
21 seconds, but more is promised. As someone who once listened to casette
tapes of spoken ancient Greek while walking to work, I thoroughly approve
of this project and eagerly await readings of Catullus, Ovid, Cicero and
others. Something worthy of our Finnish colleagues!

Ph.D studentship
The following notice is of potential interest to all current and recent
Master's students in Classics and related disciplines. Please pass it on
to anyone you think may be both interested and eligible.
Greco-Roman Philosophy in the First Century BC: Ph.D. studentship
The Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge, is running an AHRC-
funded project on Greco-Roman Philosophy in the First Century BC, from
October 2005 to September 2009. In addition to two postdoctoral research
posts (already filled), the project also has three years' funding for one
Ph.D student, to begin in October 2006. The holder of the studentship must
become a registered PhD student in the Faculty.
In order to qualify under AHRC rules, the student must be a UK or EU
citizen. In the former case, a full fees-plus-maintenance award can be
made, in the latter a fees-only award. Anyone who by 1 October 2006 will
have completed a suitable Master's course or the equivalent can apply for
the studentship.
Applicants need not necessarily have ancient philosophy as their primary
specialization. The project is taking into account cultural, educational
and political developments of the first century BC, and there might well
be relevant themes that could be pursued by a PhD student whose main focus
is on an area such as the history, linguistic or literary theory, or
science of the period.
Anyone interested in being considered for the studentship should contact
Professor David Sedley ([log in to unmask]) in the first instance. Details of
the application- and selection-procedure will be communicated later. But
those interested are advised to make contact not later than the end of
January 2006.

Corpus Christi College Classical Seminar (Oxford) 'Text and Ritual in the
Greek World: New Approaches'
It is well known that Greek religion was not ‘of the book’ but was instead
shaped and expressed by, among other things, a variety of written texts.
Yet while studies generally recognise the centrality of dromena and
legomena, the importance of gegrammena has only recently begun to be
underscored (one might single out Albert Henrichs' recent efforts).
The papers in the seminar explore different types of texts and their
importance for Greek ritual. It is hoped that the papers will stimulate
discussion especially on 1) the interaction between orality and textuality
in Greek religious practice and 2) the typology of texts which can be
viewed as constitutive and prescriptive in Greek religion.

21st Century Celts
The Inaugural Conference of the Celtic Education and Research Network
8th-10th September 2006
Call for Papers
What constitutes Celtic identity in the 21st century? How does the
definition of Celtic identity differ across the world, particularly around
the Atlantic seaboard? How are Celtic identities’ transformed at cultural
and geographical borders? What are the motivations behind the increasing
number of self-identifying Celtic communities across the world? And how
can such Celtic identities be reconciled within increasingly diverse
spatial cultures?
How do modern Celtic identities continue to use (and abuse?) the past?
What is the role and significance of cultural memory, oral traditions and
the ancient landscape in the construction of Celtic identities? And to
what extent should the local cultural significance of ancient monuments
affect their conservation and representation as sites of national
importance?
21st Century Celts is a three day public conference, to be held at the
County Hall, Truro, Cornwall. This conference will combine a program of
academic papers with discussion forums, question and answer panels and
displays and evening performances (including art, poetry and song) from
local and non-local ‘Celtic’ groups. The objective is to encourage a
lively and informed academic debate surrounding the construction,
manifestation and significance of ‘Celtic’ identities in the 21st century,
whilst also providing a public celebration of ‘Celtic’ culture.
Papers are requested, addressing the themes raised by the questions
above. Papers comparing and contrasting global ‘Celtic’ identities, and
papers that discuss the means via which these identities are constructed,
reproduced and/or transformed (e.g. landscape remnants, oral traditions,
cultural memory, art, literature) are particularly desired.
Funding to help with the transport and accommodation costs of participants
may be available, and a publication of conference papers will be
produced. Papers are required to be 40 minutes long. Anyone wishing to
submit a paper for consideration must send an abstract of no more than 300
words to: [log in to unmask] by 1st April 2006. Any queries
can also be sent to this address. Many thanks.

Archaeology of Destruction Conference May 27 & 28, 2006
This inter-disciplinary conference brings together a variety of
perspectives on destruction and encompasses several time periods and
cultures. The goal of the conference, from which it is hoped to produce a
published volume, is to treat the subject of destruction in a holistic
manner. We are attempting to facilitate the acknowledgement that 'pigeon-
holed' academics have much in common with those outside their
specific 'period' or discipline. The issue of destruction extends beyond
archaeology to other related disciplines, including politics, history,
psychology, heritage management, conservation, etc. By exploring these
different perspectives it is hoped that a better understanding will be
created of of what destruction as a phenomenon does to material culture,
and, by extension, communities. This includes:
Why specific destruction occurred the way it did,
What its effects were,
How the collective 'memory' of destruction evolves over time, and
The significance of the choices we make about interpreting and discussing
destruction that occurred in the past.
It is hoped this conference will incorporate not just theoretical
research, but also topics such as how information about destruction is
presented and used, how this affects the conservation choices we make, and
practical issues such as how we identify or isolate deliberate destruction
from other causes.
