italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear list members,
Just a quick reminder that registration for the Commemorating Augustus conference is currently open, but that a late fee of £25 will apply to bookings made from 17th July onwards. So there is just under a month remaining to make a booking without incurring the fee. Booking closes entirely on 1st August.
The conference takes place at Devonshire Hall, Leeds, from Monday 18th to Wednesday 20th August, and examines receptions of the emperor Augustus across the 2000 years from his death to the present day.
Invited speakers include Karl Galinsky (Austin, Texas), Mary Harlow (Leicester), Ray Laurence (Kent), Valerie Hope (Open University), Alison Cooley (Warwick), Shaun Tougher (Cardiff) and Martin Lindner (Göttingen).
A full programme, abstracts and details of how to register are available at: http://augustus2014.com/conference/. For any queries, please contact [log in to unmask]
Papers likely to be of particular interest to Italianists include:
Marco Romani Mistretta (Harvard) – National Marxism: Gramsci’s Augustan Rome and its Legacy in Italian Historiography
Nandini Pandey (Loyola, Baltimore) – Augustus and the Ara Coeli Legend in Northern Renaissance Art
Nicole Berlin (Johns Hopkins) – Augustus as Propaganda: The Case of the Vatican Gallery of Maps
Giampiero Scafoglio (Naples) – Augustus in Dante’s Thought and Works
Fabio Cavallero (Rome ‘La Sapienza’) – Augustus and Mussolini: city planning and architecture. An effective use of power for the creation of a new cultural and communicative memory.
Anna Clareborn (Swedish Institute, Rome) – Augusto Reframed: Exhibiting Augustus in Bimillennial Rome
Chloe Bent (UCL) – Engaging with Augustus in the 21st Century: A biographical analysis of Rome’s northern Campus Martius
Meanwhile, I am also curating a master-list of Augustan bimillennial events worldwide, available here: http://augustus2014.com/2014-events/. I am exceedingly grateful to many colleagues who have already contacted me with extra events to add, and would welcome intelligence on any further additions.
All best wishes,
Penny Goodman
