CAMWS Newsletter CCAAMMWWSS NNEEWWSSLLEETTTTEERR THE CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION OF THE MIDDLE WEST AND SOUTH • VOLUME 15.2 : WINTER 2006 • INSIDE THIS ISSUE: 02 HURRICANE, GAINESVILLE, VERGIL 09 SUMMER PROGRAMS 03 HONORS & URLS 11 MEETINGS FOR CLASSICISTS 04 GRADUATE STUDENT NEWS 12 CAMWS INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERS 05 CAMWS AWARD CALLS 13 SOUTHERN SECTION CALL FOR PAPERS 07 SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES 15 CAMWS MEMBERSHIP FORM A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT The program for the 102nd Annual Meeting of CAMWS in Gainesville, Florida, April 6-8, 2006, is on the web site and in the mail. We look forward to a program of excellent and diverse papers. With the support of a tourist development grant from Alachua County, Tim Johnson and the local committee have organized a ‘night out' in downtown Gainesville for Thursday evening. On Friday afternoon, as is our custom, we will be meeting on the campus of the University of Florida. I look forward to seeing many of you in Gainesville. On a more serious note, many of our colleagues in the areas afflicted by hurricanes last fall are now returning to class in dramatically changed circumstances. In an effort to assist in hurricane relief, the American Classical League has been established as a clearinghouse for information and support efforts The Executive Committee of CAMWS and the CAMWS-Southern Section have made a donation of the profits from the most recent CAMWS-SS meeting to the ACL relief fund. We would welcome suggestions about how we might, as an organization and as individuals, be of assistance to classicists and classics programs afflicted by the hurricanes. Finally, CAMWS will waive the registration fee for members who are teaching or studying at schools in the afflicted areas that are still closed or in the process of rebuilding and reopening. Qualifying members should write “waived” on the line for the registration fee with a brief note explaining why the waiver is requested. Best wishes for a successful spring term. -Susan Martin, CAMWS President THANKS FROM LOUISIANA Maximas Gratias Vobis Omnibus! To all of you who were so kind and so supportive and who took in and took care of our students during the Fall 2005 semester, please accept our deepest thanks. -T. Davina McClain, on behalf of Loyola University New Orleans and all the schools affected by Hurricane Katrina 1 ADDITIONAL HURRICANE UPDATES The American Classical League is coordinating a hurricane relief effort for classicists affected by the devastation caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. As we all know, hurricane relief is no longer a front page story, but the needs of those affected will be a reality for years to come. This second-wave effort is important in helping those who are struggling to get their feet back on the ground. Many still can only hope for a semblance of normalcy in their daily lives. Kenneth Kitchell, ACL President, has made a plea for two things: (1) names of schools and people, along the coast and elsewhere, who have been affected by the hurricanes and are in need of assistance, and (2) donations of any size or kind to assist in this coordinated effort. If you have any information, needs, or assistance that you can offer, please contact him directly at [email protected] (http://www.aclclassics.org/relief.asp). As an organization, the Texas Classical Association will be donating $500 to the hurricane relief effort. Also, with the recent adoption of new textbooks in Texas, many old textbooks may be available. If you have access to such books and would like to donate them, please contact ACL via its website. Texas has already played a major role in assisting people displaced by these tragedies. As Texas classicists, we hope to continue that giving effort in whatever ways we can. Vobis omnibus maximas gratias ago! -Clyde Lehmann, President, Texas Classical Association OPPORTUNITY TO EARN CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS Teachers who would like to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for attending the CAMWS Annual Meeting in Gainesville do not have to do anything in advance. When they arrive at the meeting, they should simply ask at the CAMWS registration desk for a CEU application form. Before leaving the meeting, please return the completed form to the CAMWS registration desk, along with a check for $7.50, payable to UW-Madison Extension. This service is available once again through the kindness of Mr. William Kean of Madison. Any questions regarding CEUs should be addressed to Dr. Victoria Pagán, Department of Classics, University of Florida, Gainesville: [email protected]. “VERGIL’S GARDEN” THRIVING IN CYBERSPACE Holt Parker, Professor of Classics at the University of Cincinnati, has developed a website called “Vergil's Garden,” an illustrated guide to the plants in Vergil's Georgics. One can enter and navigate the site in any number of ways. The easiest is by using the text of the Georgics. Each book is also linked to the Latin text as broken up into segments at Perseus. The names of the plants are highlighted and a click will take the reader to a page with pictures of the plants, their scientific names (genus and species), and the common names in English, French, German, and Italian. Clicking the Latin name leads to the entry in Lewis and Short. Or one can look up plants by their Latin, Scientific, English, French, German, or Italian common names. “Vergil’s Garden” provides at least some idea for what Vergil saw and smelled and tasted and heard. To visit “Vergil’s Garden,” go to classics.uc.edu/~parker/hortus/vergilsgarden.html. 2 FRANCIS WINS NEH FELLOWSHIP James Francis, Associate Professor of Classics at the University of Kentucky (Lexington), has been offered a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship for next year, for his project “People as Pictures: Visualities of Text and Image in the Second through Fourth Centuries C.E.” The fellowship, in the amount of $40,000, will allow Dr. Francis to make significant progress towards completing a book that explores the complex relationship between verbal and visual representation in the period, the use of visuality to communicate power and divinity, and the vesting in living persons with the qualities and functions of images. Ultimate, Francis seeks to establish that a change in the nature and deployment of visualities was a key characteristic marking the cultural passage from classical to late antiquity. LINDZEY NOMINATED FOR DISNEY AWARD Since 1989 Disney has rewarded the skills of outstanding teachers and this year Ginny Lindzey, teacher of Latin at Porter Middle School in Austin, Texas, has garnered a nomination for this award. In late spring, Disney will announce the forty honorees and at an awards ceremony in July one teacher will be named 2006 Disney Teacher of the Year. All forty honorees will receive $10,000, a $5,000 grant for their schools, and a six-day teaching retreat at the Walt Disney World Resort. As part of the nomination process, Lindzey was required to write some essays about her teaching. These and other observations about her life as a Latin teacher at a secondary school can be found at her blog, appropriately entitled “The Latin Zone” (ginlindzey.livejournal.com/).

Our five speakers will address some of the finer points of the process and tackle issues that will help you stand out as an applicant at various types of institutions. Victoria Pagán (University of Florida) will lay out the many facets of the interview process at smaller, non-research- oriented schools. Monica Cyrino (University of New Mexico) will provide the armament necessary to face the gauntlet of the R-1 interview in order to make it a productive, pleasurable experience. John Gruber- Miller (Cornell College) will address the interview process from the perspective of the smaller liberal arts school that focuses on teaching more than research.

    This project is funded by the European Union November 2020 Culture in ruins The illegal trade in cultural property Case study: Algeria and Tunisia Julia Stanyard and Rim Dhaouadi Summary This case study forms part of a set of publications on the illegal trade in cultural property across North and West Africa, made up of a research paper and three case studies (on Mali, Nigeria and North Africa). This study is focused on Algeria and Tunisia, which share the same forms of material culture but very different antiquity markets. Attention is given to the development of online markets which have been identified as a key threat to this region’s heritage. Key findings • The large-scale extraction of cultural objects in both countries has its roots in the period of French colonial rule. • During the civil war in Algeria in the 1990s, trafficking in cultural heritage was allegedly linked to insurgent anti-government groups among others. • In Tunisia, the presidential family and the political elite reportedly dominated the country’s trade in archaeological objects and controlled the illegal markets. • The modern-day trade in North African cultural property is an interlinked regional criminal economy in which objects are smuggled between Tunisia and Algeria as well as internationally. • State officials and representatives of cultural institutions are implicated in the Algerian and Tunisian antiquities markets in a range of different capacities, both as passive facilitators and active participants. • There is evidence that some architects and real estate entrepreneurs are connected to CASE STUDY CASE trafficking networks. Introduction The region is a palimpsest of ancient material,7 much of which remains unexplored and unexcavated by Cultural heritage in North Africa has come under fire archaeologists.

    Volume 2 Introduction 1. See below for a discussion of the concept of Magna ßraecia. 2. Other regional studies which have provided models for this type of work include Salmon, Samnium and the Samnites, Cambridge 1965, Harris, Rome in Etruria and Umbria, Oxford, 1971, and Frederiksen, Campania, London 1984. 3. For the criteria used for dating purposes, see Section 2. 4. The methodology used for this will be described in greater detail in Section 2. 5. Balsdon, 30-58 and 116-36. 6. The date at which this sense of Greek identity disappeared varies from city to city. The epigraphy indicates that Naples maintained a considerable degree of Hellenism until the 3rd century A. D., but that Greek customs died out eslewhere in the 1st century A. D. However, it is possible that this is a distorted picture, due to the lack of evidence for some cities. Contacts with the East are best documented for the 2nd and Ist centuries B. C., but the agonistic inscriptions from Naples indicate that there were substantial contacts in the 2nd and 3rd centuries A. D. of. Ch. 4. ?. For a complete list of victors, see Moretti, Mem. Lino. 8.8 (1957). 8. See Ch. 3 for details. An example is the Tarentine dedications at Delphi to commemorate the victory over the lapygians. Paus. 10.10.6,10.13.10. cf also Paus. 5.26.4-5 (Herodot. 7.170). 9. Diod. 8.32.1,12.54.4,13.3.4-5,13.4.3, Thuc. 6.34,44,50-1. 10.

The first darkened room showcases five of Classical Greece’s best attempts to define the indefinable, all dramatically spotlit. Ilissos, the river god whose turbulent course has flowed from Athens to London and then, most recently, to St. Petersburg and back, has a beauty where flesh, drapery and water coalesce across his body. Apoxyomenos radiates a self-confidence in his muscular body. Doryphoros (via Georg Römer’s stunning bronze copy) finds beauty in mathematical perfection. The beauty of the Townley Diskobolos lies in the grace he achieves despite his clenched crouch. However, newspaper coverage of the exhibition has focused on the one female statue amidst the buff young males. The opening of the exhibition is Aphrodite’s bottom. The statue is turned 180 degrees from the angle at which she is normally first encountered on the way to the Duveen Gallery. It is easy to see why we start this way.

  • Algeria and Tunisia Departs 14Th October 2021
    a Algeria and Tunisia Departs 14th October 2021 Itinerary correct as at Jul 24, 2020 but subject to change. ALL flights to be confirmed. www.bluedottravel.com.au $12,990 pp Twin-share, econ flights Ex Syd/Mel Single supp $1,100 ALGERIA AND TUNISIA This tour combines two of northern Africa’s historical jewels - Algeria and Tunisia, which share common borders and intertwined history. Algeria is one of the most fascinating countries in North Africa, successively colonised by the Numidians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Umayyads, Abbasids, Fatimids, Almoravids, Almohads, Spaniards, Ottomans and, finally, the French colonial empire. On this tour we will visit Tipaza, with its ruins of a Phoenician trading post, Roman port and Byzantine churches. We will see the perfectly preserved Roman cities of Timgad and Djémila which provide insight into sophisticated urban living in the wealthiest of imperial Roman provinces. The Roman ‘City of Bridges’, Constantine, is encircled by the dramatic gorge of Wadi Rummel and proffers a dramatic history set in an equally dramatic landscape. After a domestic flight we head away from the coast into the desert, beyond the limits of Roman control, to the ‘closed’ valley of the M’Zab, where a traditional way of life survives, little changed since medieval times when this was a remote refuge from war and religious persecution. With the Sahara as a backdrop, the ancient Ksars or fortified strongholds, with their surrounding mud brick villages still hold on to traditions that have endured the desert sands for centuries. Our tour of Algeria finishes back in Algiers the bustling capital, where the traditional Casbah is counterbalanced by a wonderfully engaging mix of Ottoman grandeur, French colonial chic and modern vibrancy.

The Gulf of Naples has always been a passageway for diverse cul- tures and people throughout history and the inception of many civilizations took place here, leaving an incredible wealth of art and culture. While Rome, Florence and Venice are home to multiple in- ternational study and cultural centers well-equipped with facilities incorporated into the urban fabric of these Italian cities, there are no equivalent facilities in southern Italy, making the Vesuvian Insti- tute a one-of-a kind cultural and research center in the heart of the historically signifi cant Campania region.
