RESOURCES IN CLASSICS FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS

This list is a continuation of Resources in Art History for Graduate Students. The many archeological and conference opportunities for Classics Graduate Students prompted the idea to move these categories off into their own pages for the convenience of all interested readers. This will allow full postings of descriptions, so that the list may be printed out and passed around (Yes! You can do that with this! A little acknowledgement of the source is all I ask).

Don't forget to investigate the other pages here: Pre-Doctoral Grants and Fellowships, Calls for Papers, Study Abroad, and so on. Use the links at the top or bottom of this page.

Suggestions and observations are, as always, welcome.

IMAGES OF JULIUS CAESAR IN EARLY MODERN EUROPE




4-6 October 2007 at the Universite' Laval, Quebec, Canada. "Surprisingly little attention has 
been accorded to the fortunes of Cesar in Europe during the early modern period...The fortune of his 
self-promoting Commentarii is also indicative of this negative evolution. With not less than 134 
editions of this book between 1450 and 1599, Caesar, according to Peter Burke, stands as the most 
famous and the most published historian of the Antiquity throughout Europe in the sixteenth 
century, whereas only 55 editions were issued in the seventeenth century. Such a crucial evolution 
of Caesar's image has never been studied and this Conference aims to analyse the causes and 
consequences of such a decline in popularity...Proposals in French or English were due 15th of 
November 2006, to:

PROFANUM VULGAS: Representations of the Everyday in the Ancient World




Saturday, April 12, 2008 A Graduate Student Conference. The Graduate Center of The City 
University of New York. "Odi profanum vulgus et arceo; favete linguis! (Hor. Ode 3.1). Literature
almost by definition concerns itself with the extraordinary, and yet Greek and Roman texts from 
Homeric epic to Roman epigram have also explored the ordinary. In this conference, we seek to 
investigate representations of the everyday in the ancient Mediterranean world. Sometimes ancient 
"realism" is characterized by the elegant and refined treatment of everyday practices in ancient 
society; sometimes it is low, bawdy, or downright obscene. We wish to explore works that celebrate 
the private and public lives of everyday people as well as the intimate lives of gods, heroes, and 
aristocrats. We welcome papers dealing with periods from archaic Greece through the Roman
Empire as represented in all media: poetry, prose, the visual arts and architecture, theatre, dance, 
etc. We also encourage papers dealing with "real life" or the exploration of menial and mundane 
social and cultural institutions from housekeeping and child-rearing to slave-dealing and
prostitution.

"Graduate students interested in presenting a paper should submit an abstract of 300 words or 
less as an attachment to profanumvulgus@gc.cuny.edu by November 30, 2007. On your abstract, 
include your name, e-mail, institution, city and state (country if not USA), and phone number. 
Notifications will be sent in January.  Questions and concerns about the conference may be addressed 
to either Alissa Vaillancourt (availlancourt@gc.cuny.edu) or Michael Broder (mbroder@gc.cuny.edu)."
