    Can Literary Studies Survive? ENDGAME

    THE CHRONICLE REVIEW CHRONICLE THE Can literary survive? studies Endgame THE CHRONICLE REVIEW ENDGAME CHRONICLE.COM THE CHRONICLE REVIEW Endgame The academic study of literature is no longer on the verge of field collapse. It’s in the midst of it. Preliminary data suggest that hiring is at an all-time low. Entire subfields (modernism, Victorian poetry) have essentially ceased to exist. In some years, top-tier departments are failing to place a single student in a tenure-track job. Aspirants to the field have almost no professorial prospects; practitioners, especially those who advise graduate students, must face the uneasy possibility that their professional function has evaporated. Befuddled and without purpose, they are, as one professor put it recently, like the Last Di- nosaur described in an Italo Calvino story: “The world had changed: I couldn’t recognize the mountain any more, or the rivers, or the trees.” At the Chronicle Review, members of the profession have been busy taking the measure of its demise – with pathos, with anger, with theory, and with love. We’ve supplemented this year’s collection with Chronicle news and advice reports on the state of hiring in endgame. Altogether, these essays and articles offer a comprehensive picture of an unfolding catastrophe.

Abstract As noted by Wesley Salmon and many others, causal concepts are ubiquitous in every branch of theoretical science, in the practical disciplines and in everyday life. In the theoretical and practical sciences especially, people often base claims about causal relations on applications of statistical methods to data. However, the source and type of data place important constraints on the choice of statistical methods as well as on the warrant attributed to the causal claims based on the use of such methods. For example, much of the data used by people interested in making causal claims come from non-experimental, observational studies in which random allocations to treatment and control groups are not present.
  • Music for Monsters: OVID's METAMORPHOSES, BUCOLIC EVOLUTION, and BUCOLIC CRITICISM

    Music for Monsters: OVID's METAMORPHOSES, BUCOLIC EVOLUTION, and BUCOLIC CRITICISM

    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Music for Monsters: Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Bucolic Evolution, and Bucolic Criticism Forthcoming in M. Fantuzzi-Th. Papanghelis (edd.), The Brill Companion to Ancient Pastoral, Leiden 2007 Version 1.0 December 2005 Alessandro Barchiesi Stanford University Abstract: The paper has been written for a collection whose aim is charting the entire development of a genre, pastoral or bucolic poetry, throughout Graeco-Roman antiquity. My discussion complements studies of poems that can be labelled ‘bucolic’ or ‘pastoral’ through an external vantage point: the perception of bucolic and pastoral in the perspective offered by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, a maverick, bulimic epic poem, a poem in which many traces of other genres can be identified and everything undergoes a transformation of some sort. The examination of some individual episodes in the epic suggests ways in which the bucolic/pastoral tradition is being reconsidered, but also challenged and criticized from specific Roman viewpoints, not without satiric undertones. © Alessandro Barchiesi: [email protected] 1 Music for Monsters: OVID'S METAMORPHOSES, BUCOLIC EVOLUTION, AND BUCOLIC CRITICISM Alessandro Barchiesi Ovidian epic promises what is potentially important evidence about the evolution of the bucolic genre after Virgil. The setting is a propitious one. After the instant success of the Eclogues, and while Theocritus as well as Moschus and Bion were still important poetic voices in Rome, bucolics must have been accepted, for the first time in the Western tradition, as an institutionalized genre. On the other hand, Ovid is the quintessential 'post-generic' poet: his epic presupposes a fully formed system of genres, substantially the very system that would be canonized and transmitted to the European tradition.

Hack, associate professor of English language and literature, with tenure, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, is recommended for promotion to professor of English language and literature, with tenure, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. Academic Degrees: Ph.D. 1998 University of California, Berkeley B.A. 1987 Yale University Professional Record: 2007 - present Associate Professor, Department of English Language and Literature, University of Michigan 2005 - 2007 Associate Professor, Department of English, University at Buffalo, State University ofNew York 1998 - 2005 Assistant Professor, Department of English, University at Buffalo, State University ofNew York Summary of Evaluation: Teaching-Professor Hack is a successful and admired teacher who demonstrates considerable thoughtfulness in developing innovative approaches to undergraduate pedagogy. Professor Hack has taught twenty courses in the Department of English Language and Literature, and thirteen of these were at the undergraduate level. Student evaluations of his undergraduate courses have been consistently favorable. "Infectious" and "contagious" are terms that appear frequently to explain Professor Rack's success in maintaining a high level of interest in 800-page novels that typically consume three to four weeks of the term. Professor Hack demonstrates a noteworthy combination of intellectual generosity and rigor in his work with graduate students both in the classroom and on dissertation committees. He is currently directing one dissertation committee and has served as a member on a dozen others. Student evaluations of his upper level courses are strong across the board.

We are editors of the journal Pathogens and Immunity, and we’re here to have a conversation with Dr. David Baltimore. (Supplementary Video) Dr. Baltimore is President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor of Biology at the California In- stitute of Technology. Dr. Baltimore received his undergraduate degree at Swarthmore and rapidly completed his PhD at The Rockefeller University. After postdoctoral work in New York at The Rockefeller University and Albert Einstein, and a faculty position at the Salk Institute, he returned to MIT where he spent nearly 30 years and was founding director of the Whitehead Institute. His contributions to biomedical science and science policy have been legion. His work has had major influence on the fields of molecular biology, virology, cancer, and immunology. He has trained numerous highly successful scientists who are leaders in their fields, and he helped to organize the Asilomar Conference on Recombinant DNA that established the guidelines for how to deal with recombining DNA. He co-chaired the 1986 National Academy of Sciences Committee on a National AIDS Strategy and, in 1996, led the NIH (AIDS) vaccine research committee.

Costopoulos Foundation AUTH Research Committee Organizing Committee Theodore Papanghelis (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki & Academy of Athens) Stephen Harrison (University of Oxford) Antonios Rengakos (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki & Academy of Athens) Stavros Frangoulidis (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) Recent years have witnessed an increased interest of classical studies in the ways meaning is generated through the medium of intertextuality, namely how different texts of the same or different authors communicate and interact with each other. Attention (although on a lesser scale) has also been paid to the manner in which meaning is produced through interfaces between various parts of the same text within the overall production of a single author, namely intratexts. Taking a leaf out of the seminal volume on Intratextuality: Greek and Roman Textual Relations, edited by Alison Sharrock and Helen Morales(Oxford 2000), which largely sets the theoretical framework for internal associations within Classical texts, the conference will address issues of intratextuality in Latin poetry and prose. Of interest will also be the ways in which the poetics of intratextuality are received by later authors within the same genre or not, i.e. a combination of intertextual and intratextual poetics.
