And now for the monograph series: Danuta Schanzer has signed on as editor of a new series, "Society, Culture, and Text in Late Antiquity," published by Palgrave Macmillan. See the following invitation to publish in this series: 

Publishing with Palgrave Macmillan

Dear Friends,

Please forgive the (sort of) circular! I have signed on

as the editor of a new monograph series, "Society,

Culture, and Text in Late Antiquity," published by

Palgrave Macmillan. I am writing to let you know about

the series, and to invite you to consider publishing in

it.

Over the last thirty years Late Antiquity has become a

hot field as opposed to the “What?-field” it used to be.

Medievalists have always welcomed Late Antiques (witness

the burgeoning Late Antique program at Kalamazoo and at

Leeds) and now even the border to the Classical world is

increasingly passable (witness developments at the more

conservative APA). There is a tremendous amount going on

in our area all over the world. But there are still not

enough venues for English language publications in Late

Antiquity and particularly for ones that are not

primarily historical. I am hoping that this new series

may open up new possibilities for our inclusive “Long

Late Antiquity,” running from the 2nd century CE down to

the 7th century CE (100-700 CE).

This series is intended to be variegated in nature and

will address an intended audience of classicists,

medievalists, and some general readers, as well as

specialists on Late Antiquity. The disciplinary purview

will likewise be broad and will include literature,

history, religion, philosophy, material culture

(archaeology and art history), as well as history of

scholarship. Interdisciplinary or multi-disciplinary

approaches will be particularly welcome. Monographs are

likely to predominate, but edited collections will find a

place as well as the occasional translation or hard-toclassify

item.

Manuscripts should be learned, original, lively,

passionate, fresh-voiced, incisive, and, ideally interor

multi-disciplinary. The recondite is by no means ruled

out, but this is not the series for fundamental

contributions to technical scholarship or for the average

revised dissertation. The authors should have an ear for

tradition and for quality as well as something new to

say. Contributions that know how to tell a tale

effectively and make primary sources come alive are

particularly welcome. Books in this series should, as

appropriate, speak to the imagination too. The quirky or

offbeat can be delightful, and, in its place, the

personal. The purely gimmicky, however, is another

matter. Readability is desirable; surfeits of post-modern

jargon not so.

By providing a new and serious venue for cutting-edge

readable research, we hope that this monograph series may

help to shape and expand our field. In addition to the

openness to new scholarship described above, "Society,

Culture, and Text in Late Antiquity" should appeal to

scholars for several other reasons. At a time when many

academic presses are cutting or eliminating their lists

in the humanities, Palgrave Macmillan is unusual in

making a new (and double) major financial and

intellectual commitment to our field. (In addition to

"Society, Culture, and Text in Late Antiquity," it is

also inaugurating a monograph series on "The New

Antiquity," edited by Matthew Santirocco).

Our flier can be downloaded at:

http://mittellatein.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/p_

platinumlatin/Society__Culture__and_Text_in_Late_Antiquit

y.pdf

Volumes in the series will be published in hardback

format and will regularly be between 70,000 and 100,000

words in length. Authors with original MSS that fall in

between an article and a monograph in length (25,000-

50,000 words) should consider publishing in Palgrave’s

innovative new venue, Palgrave Pivot under the auspices

of the Late Antique Series:

http://www.palgrave.com/pivot/

In addition, Palgrave's author services are outstanding:

the referee process is expeditious, and, once a

manuscript has been accepted, the time from its delivery

to actual publication is six months. Palgrave still

provides its authors with copyediting, and produces

beautiful volumes, both in terms of design and also the

accuracy of copyediting and proofreading (I speak as a

recent Palgrave contributor). You are very probably

familiar with Palgrave’s “The New Middle Ages,” edited by

Bonnie Wheeler:

http://www.palgrave.com/products/series.aspx?s=NMAG. Our

books will be similarly produced. Finally, as one of the

world's largest and most respected academic publishers,

Palgrave has unparalleled global reach. Thus, books in

this series will be priced competitively, brought out

simultaneously in both print and e-book format, promoted

aggressively online, in print, and at professional

meetings, and marketed effectively around the world.

Once the initial print run is sold out, books will remain

available through print-on-demand and, when warranted,

through second editions. I would be delighted if you

would let me know whether you have a manuscript for which

our series might be appropriate. Please do inform your

colleagues of this publishing opportunity and above all

suggest to me the names of some of them whose work might

find a good home here. I am, of course, also available to

discuss possible projects by email

(danuta.shanzer@univie.ac.at) or Skype (allowing for

time-zones!); please don't hesitate to be in touch with

me directly.

With warm regards,

Danuta

A short report from the FIEC congress in Bordeaux

The XIV:th FIEC congress is now successfully ended, and we send our warmest thank you to the organizers, notably Valérie Fromentin and Sophie Gotteland. They gave us all a splendid congress, with interesting papers and good surroundings for the social encounters that are also part of a successful conference.  Our thanks also to all the student assistants who were extremely helpful and managed to solve all problems in very short time! A striking feature was that all papers, at least the ones that the present blogger attended, held very good quality. The organization committee had obviously made a great job in selecting the best contributions within each panel. There are of course always things that could have been made differently – perhaps the number of panels could have been a little smaller, perhaps the ventilation of some of the lecture rooms could have been a little better – but all in all I believe we left Bordeaux with the feeling that we had learnt a lot, seen a lot, made new contacts and generally had a very good time!

A short report from the FIEC general assembly

As usual, the general assembly was held during the congress. If I counted correctly, 44 of our member associations were present. We lost one member society (Société des Études Anciennes du Québec) but gained two new ones: ANTIKA in Skopje, and the Russian Association of Classical Studies. They are both most warmly welcome as members of the FIEC!

The election of the board meant a major reorganisation. Our president, Dame Averil Cameron, left after 10 years on the board – a heartfelt thanks for all she has done for FIEC during this period! The vice presidents Ana Maria Tobia de Gonzales and Pascal Arnaud had also served their 2 periods and could not be re-elected. At the same time, the decision taken in Bari to increase the number of board members came into function, which means that we now have a board consisting of 10 people. Our new president is Franco Montanari, who has served FIEC as treasurer for more than 20 years. Gunhild Vidén takes over the task as treasurer, whereas Paul Schubert stays on as secretary general for another period of 5 years. I think we are all very grateful for that. The new board members are as follows: Benjamin Acosta-Hughes (USA), Chris Carey (United Kingdom), Jesús de la Villa (Spain), Valérie Fromentin (France), Martha Irigoyen (Mexico), Christiane Reitz (Germany), and Georgia Xanthaki-Karamanou (Greece). All members of the board will have their special functions, and the hope is that we will get more work done and ease some of the work load off the shoulders of the secretary general.

The assembly received an invitation from our colleagues in the Netherlands, through their delegate Albert Rijksbaron, to the next general assembly in 2017. Our British colleagues presented an invitation, through the delegates Chris Carey and John North, to the next congress which will take place in London in 2019. Both invitations were accepted with great enthusiasm.

The minutes from the general assembly will be sent out to the associations, as usual. Don’t forget to spread the information within your own association!

New opportunity for PhD studies

Séptimo Coloquio Internacional - [Una] nueva visión de la cultura griega antigua en el comienzo del tercer milenio: perspectivas y desafíos

La Plata, 23, 24, 25 y 26 de junio de 2015

El Centro de Estudios Helénicos de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata está organizando su Séptimo Coloquio Internacional “[Una] nueva visión de la cultura griega antigua en el comienzo del tercer milenio: perspectivas y desafíos", a realizarse en la ciudad de La Plata los días 23, 24, 25 y 26 de junio de 2015.

El Coloquio se propone revisitar la temática de su primer encuentro realizado en el año 1997: “[Una] nueva visión de la cultura griega antigua en el fin del milenio”. La exitosa progresión, a lo largo de casi veinte años, de estos eventos académicos destinados a pensar, discutir y valorar el papel de los estudios clásicos en el marco de los estudios filológicos, literarios, históricos, filosóficos y culturales en general, nos ha movido a volver al punto de partida, para proponer una nueva reflexión sobre los desafíos y perspectivas que nuestro campo de estudio mantiene vigentes de cara a un milenio que, transitada ya más de una década, sigue centrando en el hombre su principal atención.

El Coloquio propondrá las tres modalidades tradicionales de participación:

1) plenarios y mesas redondas sobre temas de interés en diversas áreas de la cultura grecolatina, con la presencia de destacados especialistas de nuestro país y del exterior especialmente invitados.

2) comunicaciones libres. Los interesados en participar en las sesiones de comunicaciones libres deberán enviar por correo electrónico un resumen de su ponencia de hasta 300 palabras antes del 30 de marzo de 2015, para su evaluación por parte del Comité Científico. Los alumnos que presenten ponencias deberán hacerlo con el aval de un profesor, cuyo nombre, cargo y dirección electrónica deberán figurar en el resumen. La presentación de la versión completa del trabajo -su lectura no podrá exceder los veinte minutos- se hará al iniciarse el Coloquio (versión impresa y copia en CD, una extensión máxima de 8 páginas incluida la bibliografía, en hoja A4, letra Times New Roman 12, interlineado 1.5, a los fines de editar a la brevedad las Actas. Fuente griega UNICODE).

3) cursos breves. Los interesados en dictar un curso breve deberán enviar para su evaluación, antes del 30 de marzo de 2015, propuesta del título y, en forma sintética, fundamentación, objetivos, temas a desarrollar en dos encuentros y bibliografía.

Las sesiones de comunicaciones libres y los cursos breves están abiertos a las propuestas de aquellos interesados en acercar las conclusiones de sus investigaciones. Las comunicaciones libres y los cursos breves podrán versar, entre otros, sobre los siguientes temas: lenguas clásicas, géneros literarios, retórica, épica, tragedia, comedia, lírica, filosofía antigua, estudios culturales, recepción clásica, especialmente en Iberoamérica, arqueología clásica, etc.

Los asistentes recibirán una certificación de su participación en el Coloquio y, por la asistencia a un 75 % de las sesiones plenarias, un certificado de asistencia a un Curso de Perfeccionamiento de 30 horas lectivas. Quienes presenten comunicación o curso breve tendrán la certificación correspondiente. Los cursos breves específicos del Coloquio, que serán gratuitos, otorgarán un certificado de asistencia por 6 horas reloj.

Las ponencias presentadas se publicarán en CD y las exposiciones de los profesores invitados en un volumen colectivo.

Inscripción

Para inscribirse en el Coloquio será necesario enviar completo el formulario de inscripción que se adjunta en archivo independiente. Se recomienda hacer llegar este formulario en forma conjunta con el resumen de la comunicación o propuesta de curso, en caso de que corresponda.

Costos

-asistentes: 100 pesos argentinos (descuento del 20 % para socios de AADEC)

-con ponencia: 150 pesos argentinos (descuento del 20 % para socios de AADEC)

Dentro de la Argentina el pago deberá efectuarse personalmente o mediante giro postal. No se aceptarán cheques personales ni pago mediante tarjeta de crédito. Dado el costo de los giros en moneda extranjera y la dificultad de operar en otros sistemas, se ruega a los concurrentes del exterior que confirmen su inscripción y efectúen el pago una vez en la Argentina.

Announcement of Competition: Latin, Greek and Humanities
at the Academy Vivarium Novum in Rome – Italy
Academic year 2014-2015

The Academy Vivarium Novum is offering ten full tuition scholarships for high school students (16-18 years old) and ten full tuition scholarships  for University students (18-24 years old) of any part of the world. The scholarships will cover all of the costs of room, board, teaching and didactic materials for courses to be held from October 6, 2014 until June 13, 2015 on the grounds of the Academy’s campus at Rome.

The courses will be as follows:

-       Latin language (fundamental and advanced)
-       Greek language (fundamental and advanced)
-       Latin composition
-       Roman History
-       Ancient Latin literature
-       History of ancient Philosophy
-       Renaissance and Neo-Latin literature
-       Latin and Greek music and poetry
-       Classics reading seminars

The goal is to achieve a perfect command of both Latin and Greek through a total immersion in the two languages in order to master without any hindrances the texts and concepts which have been handed down from the ancient times, middle ages, the Renaissance period and modern era, and to cultivate the humanities in a manner similar to the  Renaissance humanists. All the classes will be conducted in Latin, except for Greek classes which will be conducted in ancient Greek.

In order to apply, the prospective student should write a letter in which, along with detailed personal motivations, the following information should be contained:

1. Full name; date and location of birth;

2. What school you currently attend;
3. How long you have studied Latin and/or Greek;

4. Which authors and works you have read;

5. Other studies and primary interests outside of school.
