SPECIAL EVENTS

FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 2004

OPENING NIGHT RECEPTION

The Continental Ballroom 4-6 in the Hilton San Francisco will be the location of the Opening Night Reception, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. This event will celebrate the anniversaries of both the AIA and APA. The year 2004 is the 125^th anniversary of the AIA; for APA, the 135^th anniversary. The Reception presents an opportunity to congratulate each other on these milestones and on our long-standing commitment to the study and practice of the archaeological and classical disciplines. The $25.00 ticket price includes admission to the reception, hot hors d’oeuvres, complimentary soft drinks, and a joint anniversary souvenir.

CROSS-DRESSING IN ANTIQUITY: ART AND TEXT

Celebrate the 135^th Annual Meeting in San Francisco by attending the panel organized by the Lambda Classical Caucus, “Cross-Dressing in Antiquity: Art and Text.” This panel seeks to explore not only the poetic and artistic representations of female or male impersonation, but also the concept of fluidity in the boundaries between genders as expressed by clothing. Papers will address specific historical, art historical, and literary issues and will also attempt to answer larger questions about the stability of gender as expressed in dress.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 2004

Breakfast for First-Time Registrants

A complimentary continental breakfast will be offered to APA members attending their first annual meeting. This event will provide an opportunity to meet APA leaders and learn first-hand about the intellectual and social opportunities available at the annual meeting. It will take place from 7:30-8:30 a.m.

Presidential Panel

Members of the APA are well acquainted with thinking about long stretches of time and the preservation of memory, but we look back more readily than we look forward. This panel will introduce a provocateur of long standing to suggest ways in which we can think about continuing to do our business for a long time to come. Three APA members will then offer their own provocations in making concrete our ideas about some of our futures. Discussion will ensue.

From Troy to Vietnam: Special Screening of Achilles in Vietnam

The Program Committee has accepted a proposal from William Mullen, Bard College, to present a screening of Achilles in Vietnam, based on the book by Dr. Jonathan Shay. Independent filmmaker Charles Berkowitz and Jonathan Shay, a psychiatrist, will provide introductory remarks, and after the hour-long abridged screening of the film, Prof. Mullen will moderate a question-and-answer period and discussion with the audience. This is a timely session on ancient and modern attitudes towards war, violence, and military service.

APA Professional Matters Committee Panel

Informal Oral Reading Session

The Society for the Oral Reading of Greek and Latin Literature will hold its annual informal reading session at the Hilton San Francisco. This session is an opportunity for any annual meeting registrant to read aloud a selection of Greek or Latin literature (maximum 35 lines) before an interested and sympathetic audience. The session is not a contest but is rather a friendly exchange of sounds and ideas among those interested in the effective oral performance of classical literature. If the reader so desires, listeners will offer constructive comments after the reading. All readers are asked to bring 30 photocopies of their texts for distribution. Auditors are cordially welcome.

Sunday, January 4

Minority Student Scholarship Fund-raising Raffle and Breakfast

The APA’s Committee on Scholarships for Minority Students is again sponsoring a fund-raising breakfast and raffle from 7:15 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. in the Hilton San Francisco. Tickets to this event cost $35 and include admission to the breakfast and three chances to win several prizes of books donated by a variety of academic publishers. Additional chances for the raffle (or chances in lieu of attending the reception) can also be purchased on the registration form at a cost of $10 for 1 or $25 for 3. You do not need to be present at the reception to win the raffle.

Roundtable Discussion Session

The AIA and the APA are again jointly offering a Roundtable discussion session this year. Discussions will take place at midday. Members of both societies will lead separate discussions at individual tables, and topics will include issues of intellectual and practical importance to classicists and archaeologists. Sign-up sheets will be available in the registration area before the session so that participation at each table can be limited to number that will encourage useful dialogues. A cash food service will be available nearby.

APA Plenary Session/Presidential Address

As usual, the plenary session will feature the presentation of APA's first outreach award, teaching awards, and the Goodwin Award of Merit. James J. O’Donnell’s Presidential Address is entitled, “Late Antiquity: Before and After.” The Presidential Reception will immediately follow the Presidential Address. All APA members are welcome to attend.

APA Presidential Reception

The Board of Directors cordially invites all APA members attending the 135th Annual Meeting to a reception honoring President James J. O’Donnell immediately after the Plenary Session and Presidential Address. Tickets for the APA Presidential Reception will be included in the registration materials of all APA members. The reception will be held in the Plaza Ballroom, located on the first floor of the Hilton San Francisco, just opposite the escalators.

Reading of THE GOLDEN AGE

The Committee on Ancient and Modern Performance will present a reading of Thomas Heywood’s play, The Golden Age. The Golden Age is the first of five mythological pageants Heywood presented in Shakespeare’s London, recounting the course of Greek mythology for his own day. His survey of the lives of Jupiter and Saturn is filled with Jacobean excess. So come and let Homer be your guide as fellow APA members recreate the rise of Jupiter, with all the baby-eating and other romantic misadventures you could want. This session will be open to the public.

Monday, January 5

APA Business Meeting

The Board of Directors invites all APA members to attend the society's official business meeting from 10:45 to 11:45 a.m., to hear a report on the year's activities. Questions and comments from members are welcome. Coffee and juice will be served.

Placement Service

Union Square 22

4^th Floor, Building 3

Hilton San Francisco

Placement Service Director: Renie Plonski

Hours

January 2 10:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.

January 3 & 4 7:45 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

January 5 8:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.

The on-site registration fee for candidates is $50.00; for institutions, $300.00. Candidates and institutions must also register for the Annual Meeting to use the Placement Service facilities at the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting registration fee is separate from both societal membership dues and the Placement Service registration fee. Copies of all recent issues of Positions for Classicists and Archaeologists will be available in the Placement Office for review by candidates; copies of the 2003-04 Placement Book, including a supplement of all CV’s received after the printing deadline of the Placement Book, will be available for review by institutions.

While many institutions will wish to conduct interviews in suites they have reserved, the Placement Service also has available a limited number of meeting rooms for interviews. All requests for these interview rooms must be made through the Placement Service at the time appointments are requested. Institutions that have already advertised positions are encouraged to notify all applicants prior to the Annual Meeting whether they do or do not intend to interview an individual in San Francisco. However, the Placement Service should be permitted to make the actual schedule of interviews to ensure that candidates do not encounter conflicts either with other interviews or with paper sessions.

Upon arrival in San Francisco, pre-registered and non-registered candidates and institutional representatives should go directly to the Placement Office in Union Square 22, either to register for the Placement Service or to obtain schedules of prearranged interviews. When the Placement Service has a message for either a candidate or institution, staff will post an identifying number on a call board. Participants in the Placement Service are expected to consult this call board at least once a day during the meeting although, in the majority of cases, participants will be able to obtain their complete schedules when they first arrive in San Francisco. The Placement Service reserves the right to extend the interview hours listed in the Annual Meeting program.

The Placement Service is overseen by a joint APA/AIA Placement Committee. This Committee has traditionally held an open session at the annual meeting at which candidates and institutional representatives can suggest improvements in the Service. In recent years, however, this session has not been well attended. The large number of overlapping sessions at the meeting is undoubtedly responsible, at least in part, for this trend, but the Committee also believes that some participants in the Service may be reluctant to make important suggestions in a public forum. At the upcoming annual meeting in San Francisco, therefore, the Placement Committee will not hold an open meeting but will instead provide a suggestion box in the Placement Service Office. The Committee encourages candidates and institutional representatives to take advantage of this medium and recommend improvements to the Service. In addition, Placement Service Staff will take messages from candidates or institutional representatives wishing to meet individually with Committee members in San Francisco to discuss specific concerns. Finally, as usual, in Summer 2004 the APA Committee on the Status of Women and Minority Groups will send a questionnaire to all candidates which they may use to comment on the placement process.

Although the American Philological Association and the Archaeological Institute of America are only intermediaries in the recruiting process and do not engage in the actual placement of members, the Director of the Placement Office is ready to serve both institutional representatives and candidates in every way practical during the course of the Annual Meeting. Communications on Placement Service matters should be sent to Renie Plonski, Placement Service Director, American Philological Association, 292 Logan Hall, University of Pennsylvania, 249 S. 36^th Street, Philadelphia, PA. 19104-6304. Telephone: (215) 898-4975; Fax: (215) 573-7874.

Beyond Borrowing: New Trends in the Study of the Eastern

Mediterranean Cultural Area

Mary R. Bachvarova, Organizer

The panelists, all active in both Near Eastern and Ancient Greek studies, provide a nuanced assessment of the special position of ancient Greece at the periphery of the larger Eastern Mediterranean cultural area, bound to it by a range of forms of cultural praxis, but within the context of developing its own distinctive traditions. Looking beyond the Orientalizing period and Semitic sources, they integrate archaeological, linguistic, and literary data to examine specific examples of the cultural koine (amphictiony, theogonic myth, and supplication); the response of Easteners to Greek traditions; and continuity and reinterpretation of imagery across the Dark Ages.

Earth Sciences in Antiquity

Sponsored by the Three-Year Colloquium on New Approaches to Ancient Science

Tiberiu Popa and Philip Thibodeau, Organizers

In its second year, this colloquium will center on ‘earth sciences’ in antiquity: geography, geology, and meteorology. This is a field which has witnessed renewed interest over the past decade or two, with new lines of investigation shedding light on everything from the reception and revision of ancient meteorological theories to the techniques used by cartographers. The presentations featured this year exemplify recent research trends in various subfields. Our aim is to stimulate a dialogue among specialists which non-specialists will feel encouraged to join.

Didaskalos: Representations of the Teacher in the Ancient World

J. Samuel Houser and Alexis Q. Castor, Organizers

Tragedians, philosophers, orators, and grammarians all were teachers, whether of the polis at large or to a select group of recruits. From Sophocles’ role as political didaskalos to the grammarian’s position as misfit and outcast, the panelists explore the multi-faceted and influential role of the educator. Our papers examine the social and political framework of pedagogy in the ancient world as we meet it in our surviving literary sources.

Plutarch and Aesthetics

Francis Titchener, Presider

The range of Plutarch’s compositions affords his readers the possibility of examining his aesthetic principles from multiple perspectives. Plutarch’s philosophical essays deal directly with matters such as mimesis, catharsis, literary theory and reception, and his biographies teem with observations pertaining to the subject of aesthetics. Furthermore, the literary texture of his Moralia and his Lives demonstrates their author’s execution of his own aesthetic policies. This panel includes papers that explore Plutarchan aesthetics in the broadest sense: exegesis of Plutarchan philosophy as well as criticism, including rhetorical criticism, of his essays and biographies.

The Quest for a Usable Past:

African Americans Appropriate the Classics

Kenneth W. Goings and Eugene O’Connor, Organizers

All three papers in this session seek to show African Americans’ appropriation and use of the classics to prove their humanity, equality, and right to full citizenship. Each paper centers on contestation and agency: the struggle for a classical education, the struggle to create a more positive cultural myth, and the struggle by African American women to be portrayed as humans and not subhumans. All three papers seek to show that a significant segment of African Americans in the nineteenth century regarded the classical past not only as their own past but as a usable past that would support their struggle for equality, full citizenship, and respect as human beings.

Modern Dramatic Versions of the Classics: Space, Set, and Stage

Sponsored by the Three-Year Colloquium on Modern Dramatic Versions of the Classics

and the Committee on Ancient and Modern Performance

Mary Louise Hart, Organizer

The broad aim of this panel is to discuss the role of design in shaping ancient dramas into twentieth-century productions. Can ‘tragic space’ be defined, and, if so, how is it evoked? In turn, how can space articulate text? What transformations occur when outdoor plays are moved inside and away from their original sacred context? In general, how does contemporary design serve the ancient play, and how can ancient forms be used to communicate modern concepts?

Ennius and the Invention of Roman Epic

Brian W. Breed and Andreola Rossi, Organizers

The present panel aims to reassess Ennius in his roles as pater of Roman poetry and writer of annals in light of new interest in the early phases of early Latin literature and new methodological approaches. Considering Ennius’ position at the crossroads between a number of separate cultural and literary traditions – Greek, Italian, Roman, epic and historiographical – the papers focus on the following three areas: Ennius and his work in the contemporary social context; the relationship of the Annales to the diversity of previous traditions; and the subsequent reception of the Annales as exemplary Roman epic.

Greek, Latin, and Indo-European Linguistics

Sponsored by the Society for the Study of Greek and Latin Languages and Linguistics

Joshua T. Katz and Michael L. Weiss, Organizers

This panel examines and seeks to explain interesting linguistic features of Greek and Latin, this year particularly in the domains of morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and metrics. No one approach dominates: some problems are best solved with an eye to Proto-Indo-European, others benefit from sociolinguistic theory, and still others rely for their solutions on Greek- or Latin-internal philology. Many papers in this session employ a combination of these and other strategies, highlighting both the power and the wide-ranging nature of linguistic analysis.

Electronic Publishing and the Classics Profession

Sponsored by the APA Committee on Professional Matters

Barbara F. McManus and Ross Scaife, Organizers

This Professional Matters forum will present an overview of the most significant aspects of electronic publication for classicists. University presses and scholarly journals are facing severe economic pressures to curtail publications in the humanities at the same time as publication requirements for tenure and promotion spiral upward. As a profession, Classics has not yet formally addressed this issue despite its especially negative effect on smaller disciplines. Electronic publication offers one possible way to alleviate some of the worst effects of the crisis in scholarly publishing. Speakers will explain the potential and challenges of scholarly electronic publication with a view toward generating lively discussion with the audience.

Greece, Ancient and Modern

Sponsored by the APA Committee on the Classical Tradition

Gonda Van Steen, Organizer

This panel reports on relations between classical and modern Greece, relations that are at the core of our thinking about the Greek classical tradition. As such, it is an important first for the APA and hopes to inspire new research approaches and perspectives. The panelists will present more concrete examples of how ancient and modern Greek literature and culture interact, how each one of them becomes more intelligible in terms of the other, and how they can productively be compared in academic discourse. The panel’s wide range of topics invites a diachronic consideration of ancient Greek themes and a critical reevaluation of the dynamics of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century reception of Greek antiquity in diverse Greek and Western European (especially German) contexts.

Translations and Adaptations: Tools for Teaching the Classical World

Sponsored by the APA Committee on Education

Ronnie Ancona and Richard Thomas, Organizers

While the Greek and Latin languages remain fundamental to teaching Classics, many teachers of the classical world, whether they teach Greek or Latin language, Classical Civilization, Social Studies, or Literature in Translation, use and depend on sources in English, e.g., translations of primary sources or adaptations, like videos, popular films, plays, historical novels, and slides. In this panel experts on translations and adaptations of the Classics will discuss tools for teaching that can be used in any classroom &emdash; for example, as a supplement to an Advanced Placement Latin class or as the primary basis for work in a Greek Civilization classroom. All speakers will provide handouts of bibliographical references and key points from their presentations.

Intention and the Subject of Interpretation

Sponsored by the Three-Year Colloquium on Interrogating Theory – Critiquing Practice

W. W. Batstone, Organizer

This Three-Year Colloquium will provide an opportunity for theoretically engaged Classicists to examine both the theories that underwrite our practices and the practices those theories produce. We will not focus on practical applications of modern theory, but rather on the theoretical debates. We are interested in the theoretical debates that have shaped our understanding and our practice. This first panel reflects on how our view of subjectivity and authorship shapes our hermeneutic practice. What is the authority of the author, the nature of the subject, and the relationship between the author and the subject of our interpretations?

Ancient History as a Social Science

Ian Morris and Walter Scheidel, Organizers

From Marx to Weber, the founding fathers of social science drew heavily on ancient history to explain the transition to modernity. In the 1950’s, Finley brought Weber and Polanyi’s ideas into ancient history, but despite huge changes in the social sciences and demands to move beyond Finley, few ancient historians have engaged with newer social scientific work. In this session, it is our goal to bring newer social scientific questions and methods into the ancient historian’s armory.

The Neoplatonic Way of Life and the Construction of a Philosophic System

Sponsored by the International Society for Neoplatonic Studies

Svetla Slaveva-Griffin, Organizer

In What is Ancient Philosophy?, Pierre Hadot argues for a new understanding of the nature and meaning of ancient philosophy, i.e. that ancient philosophy is about teaching a certain way of living rather than developing distinctive theories about the constitution of the universe. This understanding may also prove beneficial for studying the relationship between the Neoplatonic theory and the Neoplatonic way of life. Formally Plato provides Plotinus and his successors with a definition of the philosophical way of life. The participants in this panel, however, ask the pressing questions: Do the Neoplatonists tread dutifully upon the beaten track of Plato’s ideal philosopher? What is specifically the Neoplatonic way of life? Is Plotinus selfish in withdrawing from political life? Where does philosophy meet reality in the Neoplatonic way of life?

A Reading of The Golden Age (1611)

by Thomas Heywood

The Cast

in alphabetical order

Leslie Cahoon, Gettysburg College

Kathleen Coleman, Harvard University

Mark Damen, Utah State University

C.W. (Toph) Marshall, University of British Columbia

Michael Nolan, Memorial University of Newfoundland

Elizabeth Scharffenberger, Columbia University

Thomas Talboy, Santa Catalina School

Fredrick Williams, Southern Illinois University

and Douglass Parker, University of Texas at Austin, as Homer

The Committee on Ancient and Modern Performance will present a reading of scenes from Heywood’s play, The Golden Age. The Golden Age is the first of five mythological pageants Heywood presented in Shakespeare’s London, recounting the course of Greek mythology for his own day. His survey of the lives of Jupiter and Saturn, “with the defining of the Heathen gods,” is filled with Jacobean excess. So come and let Homer be your guide as fellow APA members, under the direction of Toph Marshall, recreate the rise of Jupiter, with all the baby-eating and other romantic misadventures you could want. This session will be open to the public.

Roman Virtues, Vices, and Cultural History

Sponsored by the Three-Year Colloquium on Roman Virtues and Vices

David Konstan and David Wray, Organizers

Roman writing about virtues and vices, whether taken as inventions or reflections of reality, can be fully understood only in relation to their social and cultural context. What does it mean, culturally, to speak of a Roman ethics of virtue? What was the relation of Roman ethical thinking to Roman (and Greek) cultural norms? Did Romans lay claim to universal, objective norms as a basis for ethics? How can more precise definitions of Latin names for ethical vices and more nuanced understanding of how those vices are enacted in literature and political discourse help to map out Roman cultural history?

Magic, Religion, and Medicine in the Ancient World

Sponsored by the Society for Ancient Medicine and Pharmacy

Lesley Dean-Jones, Organizer

The four papers in this panel each investigate a different facet of the interaction of medicine with magic and religion in the ancient world.

Cultural Constructions in Flavian Poetics

Antony Augoustakis and Jessica Dietrich, Organizers

This panel will examine the role of otherness in connection with gender hierarchies and imperial ideology in Flavian literature and will explore issues such as what happens when the periphery is assimilated to the center, or how threatened does central ideology become by an acculturated, yet barbarian, male or female outsider. What do “Roman-ness” and “otherness” mean? Does this otherness constitute a danger to Rome in the view of the Flavian poets?

Blessed are the Meek: Dependence, Servitude, and Submission in Late Antiquity

Sponsored by the Three-Year Colloquium on Late Antiquity

Noel Lenski, Organizer

This panel will reexamine the problem of asymmetrical social relations in late antiquity from the bottom up. Because of the nature of our sources, previous sociological studies have focused on the powerful and the dominant. Enough has survived of the opposite perspective, however, that it merits investigation in its own right. Papers will be presented on how St. Patrick’s early experience as a slave affected his life and writings, how lowly provincials managed to exercise leverage over governors, on how bishops formulated their sermons to suit the demands of their congregations, and how slave-metaphors in official language reflected a new paradigm of power.

Topics include the range of cultural and geographical references familiar to Menandrean characters; the use of non-Athenian settings and of plots involving travel, trade, or military service in foreign lands; how the plays integrate outsiders like metics, soldiers, hetairai, and slaves; notions of ethnicity and attitudes towards other cities; and awareness of major events and developments in the larger Hellenistic world.
