Call for Papers: "Regionalism and Globalism in Antiquity"
Keynote Speaker: Professor Lord Colin Renfrew (Cambridge University)
The Classical Association of the Canadian West (CACW) and the Classical
Association of the Pacific Northwest (CAPN) will hold a joint conference
on Friday, March 16 and Saturday, March 17, 2007, to be hosted by the
Department of Classical, Near Eastern, and Religious Studies at the
University of British Columbia, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The conference will be held at the Robson Square campus of the University
of British Columbia located in the heart of downtown Vancouver.
The theme of this conference is regionalism and globalism in antiquity. As
in the world today, ancient life at the local level was shaped by regional
and global phenomena. This conference seeks to delineate regionalism and
globalism in antiquity and to explore their effects on the local spatial
dimension. We invite papers and thematic panels from scholars, including
graduate students, interested in any aspect and time-period in antiquity
of regionalism and globalism in the Mediterranean basin and lands beyond.
Papers in all fields are encouraged--literature, epigraphy, history,
philosophy, oratory, religion, and art and archaeology. We encourage a
wide variety of approaches--disciplinary and interdisciplinary,
theoretical and empirical, and comparative and cross-cultural--and the
participation of a wide variety of scholars, not just classicists, but
also Near Eastern scholars, Eurasian prehistorians, and any others
interested in the conference theme.
Topics might include:
* sociopolitical networks (state formation, alliances, empires, etc.)
* economic, cultural, and geographic networks
* social, economic, cultural, and environmental change
* poetry, myth, music, and other creative activities
* sociolinguistics and dialects
* intellectual and spiritual traditions
* urbanism and the built environment
* ethnicity and identity
* cosmopolitanism and hybridity
* iconography and symbolism
* demography and disease
Topics might also include discussion of phenomena that encouraged and
discouraged regionalism and globalism in antiquity, and their study today,
such as:
* geography
* science and technology
* resistance and opposition of all kinds
* the commodification of society and nature
* structures and traditions of modern scholarship and teaching
Explanations of regional and global phenomena have often been couched in
terms of "influences" disseminated from areas of higher and more powerful
culture to ones of weakness and lower abilities. Recently, however, there
have been more nuanced discussions of the mechanics of interregional and
intercultural contact and interaction that could be investigated further.
Work elsewhere in the human sciences also suggests a role for
psychological and "epidemiological" factors in the creation of regionalism
and globalism that deserve more attention in the study of antiquity. Here
the brain has been shown to act like a common denominator in sociocultural
development and culture to spread like an epidemic or virus.
Papers are particularly encouraged on topics related to this theme.
Submissions are invited, however, on all subjects of special interest to
classicists. Questions and expressions of interest can be sent to the
chair of the conference organizing committee, Professor Franco De Angelis
(University of British Columbia) at [log in to unmask] Abstracts
of no more than 100-150 words for talks of twenty minutes should be sent
by e-mail attachment by the September 15, 2006 deadline to the programme
co-ordinator, Professor Robert Todd (University of British Columbia) at
[log in to unmask] We are seeking funding support for the
conference from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of
Canada, to help offset some of the costs of participating in the
conference and of preparing a volume of edited proceedings. Therefore, in
order to qualify, abstracts must also be accompanied by the following:
* Family name, given name, initials
* Institutional affiliation (if any) and department
* Degrees received (beginning with the most recent; please specify the
discipline)
* Recent positions held (beginning with the most recent)
* Audio-visual or other requirements
* E-mail and postal address
A preliminary program and details about participating in the conference
will be posted in early November 2006 on the conference website that will
be linked to the website of the Department of Classical, Near Eastern, and
Religious Studies at the University of British Columbia located at
