>CALL FOR PAPERS:
>Feminism & Classics IV, "Gender and Diversity in Place"-May 27-30, 2004
>
>Abstract and proposal submissions are invited for the fourth Feminism &
Classics conference, which will be held on the campus of The University
of
Arizona in Tucson.
>
>"Feminism & Classics," a conference series exploring the interconnections
between research on the ancient Mediterranean world and the study of
women
and gender, has become a crucial venue for establishing feminist
scholarly
and pedagogical objectives and setting professional agendas in the
fields
of classical and feminist studies. Each of the three previous
conferences
in the series has drawn over 200 participants and attracted nationwide
interest.
>
>In the past decade, classical scholars have come to recognize that the
ancient Mediterranean world was a culturally diverse environment and
that
the ancient Greeks and Romans were themselves sensitive to the constant
influences of the larger, multi-ethnic world upon their own cultures.
Motivated by these concerns, the planning committee has chosen "Gender
and
Diversity in Place" as the theme of Feminism & Classics IV.
>
>We are soliciting proposals for panels, workshops, and individual
presentations exploring notions of ethnicity, gender, and sexuality as
they
were defined both in ancient Greek- and Latin-speaking environments and
in
border regions. In the belief that areas of intense cross-cultural
interaction, such as Spain, Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt, and the Near
East,
will be particularly fertile grounds for the exploration of the
intersection between ancient conceptualizations of gender and ethnicity,
we
invite contributions from members of disciplines specializing in those
areas as well as from trained classicists.
>
>We encourage submissions from a wide range of perspectives, including
archaeology, art history, cultural, political, and social history,
linguistics, literary criticism, religious studies, and papyrology.
Experimental sessions that offer opportunities for developing theories,
methods, and tools or for building scholarly and pedagogical networks
are
especially welcome.
>
>The rich multicultural ambiance of The University of Arizona and its
geographical location within the Sonoran desert, where numerous
indigenous
and immigrant cultures meld together without respect for national
boundaries, make it the perfect symbolic locale for scholarly dialogue
on
the gender systems, ethnicity, and geography of the ancient world.
>
>Time limit: 90 minutes for panels and workshops; 20 minutes for papers.
Please indicate estimated delivery time and specify audio-visual needs.
>
>Panel and workshop proposals: Provide a summary (in no more than 500
words) of the general theme of the panel or workshop and a brief
description (250 words each) of the individual presentations.
>Paper proposals: Provide a summary of the presentation in no more than 500
words (one single-spaced page).
>Proposals should be e-mailed to: Holly Cohen (holly@ironhorsemotercycles.com)
>
>All submissions will be refereed anonymously. Include name, mailing and
e-mail address in cover posting only, not on abstract. Deadline for
submissions: April 30, 2003
