Call for Papers: The 8th Annual Koç University Archaeology and History
of Art Graduate Research Symposium - Performance: Actors, Objects,
Spaces
by Alev Berberoglu
*Performance: Actors, Objects, Spaces*
*Call for Papers - The 8th Annual Koç University Archaeology and History of
Art Graduate Research Symposium *

*Application Deadline:* 31 December 2019, Tuesday

Koç University’s Department of Archaeology and History of Art (ARHA) is
pleased to announce its 8th Annual Graduate Student Research Symposium, which
will be held on 26 March 2020 at Koç University’s Research Center for
Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED), located in Beyoğlu, Istanbul.

The symposium titled* Performance: Actors, Objects, Spaces *aims to
investigate various manifestations of artistic and cultural acts revolving
around performance in order to discuss their enduring prevalence and trace
their nuances in different spatial, temporal, social, and personal contexts.
Outcomes of performances as employed in building identity, constructing
gender, expressing self, and defining community will be analyzed.* *Our
definition of performance is broad: it embraces the sacred and the secular,
the social and the personal, and the spectacular and the quotidian. Moreover,
performativity, or the interdependent relationship between words and actions,
emerges as a topic of interest in this framework, owing to its reflections in
the arts.

This symposium seeks to bring together a diverse range of perspectives and
disciplines concerned with a span of subjects, areas and periods of research
converging around the theme of performance in the arts and culture. Paper
topics may include, but are not limited to:

 * Depictions of performance
 * Performance and space
 * Performance, architecture, and urban planning
 * State power, theatricality, ceremonies, and processions
 * Imperial and military performances
 * Sacred performances, rites, and rituals
 * Performing identities
 * Performing culture
 * Performativity in arts
 * Gender as performance
 * Performing arts, theatre, dance, spectacles
 * Performing music, musicians, musical instruments
 * Memory and performance
 * Documenting performances
 * Staging and restaging performances
 * Self-expression through performance
 * Intangible cultural heritage and performance
 * Performativity in museum studies

Students of archaeology, art history, history, cultural heritage, museum
studies and related fields are invited to present research related to
Anatolia and its neighboring regions, including the Mediterranean, Aegean,
Black Sea, the Balkans, the Levant and the Ancient Near East, from the
earliest prehistoric times through the Bronze and Iron Ages, the Classical,
Byzantine and Ottoman periods, and into contemporary times.

All graduate students are encouraged to apply, including M.A. and Ph.D.
students at any stage of their studies. The conference will be held in
English, but we are open to accepting presentations and posters in both
English and Turkish. Applicants should submit a 250-word abstract by 31
December 2019 to arhasymposium@gmail.com [1]. Applicants will be notified of
their acceptance by the middle of January. For other questions, please
contact arhasymposium@gmail.com [2] or visit arhags.ku.edu.tr [3] and

CALL FOR PAPERS – INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
*MUROS ET MOENIA*: CITY WALLS, URBAN BOUNDARIES, AND THE ARTICULATION OF
THE CITY IN THE FIRST MILLENNIUM CE
16-17 April, 2020
Utrecht University

In the ancient, late antique, and the early medieval worlds, city walls
both projected strength and indicated insecurity. These impressive and
prominent constructions dominated the urban landscape and oriented the
movement of citizens. Likewise, these enclosures sought to delineate those
who did and did not belong, physically marking the inclusion of its
citizens as well as signifying the exclusion of whoever and whatever
threatened to harm the physical, symbolic, and ritual integrity of the
city. City walls were visible from afar, drawing visitors in and
advertising the city’s status from a distance. At the same time, the wall’s
overlapping layers of legal, ritual, and symbolic significance structured
narrative and normative texts across these epochs.

This international workshop seeks to bring together an international and
interdisciplinary group of scholars to work on these interrelated aspects
of ancient and early medieval walls in the Mediterranean and northwestern
Europe throughout the first millennium CE. Our keynote address will be
given by Hendrik Dey, and our confirmed speakers include Rachele Dubbini,
Penelope Goodman and Nicholas Purcell. We invite proposals for 20 minute
papers from specialists working in various disciplines, including
archaeology, history, literary studies, and art history. This workshop will
examine the commonalities and discrepancies across these disciplines, both
in terms of their methodological and theoretical approach as well as
querying the extent to which city walls functioned in a variety of
different contexts present throughout the ancient and medieval world.

Please send an abstract of no more than 300 words, plus a short
bibliography to the organizers Saskia Stevens, Megan Welton, and Kay Boers
at murosetmoenia@gmail.com by January 31st, 2020.

Call for Papers

A Tale of Two Traditions. Roman Culture and Ancient Greek Narratives
under the Principate.



International workshop at Ghent University, Thursday 28th – Friday
29th May 2020.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 29/02/2020.

Confirmed speakers include: Dr. Romain Brethes (Paris, AnHiMa); Dr.
Casper de Jonge (Leiden); Dr. Daniel Jolowicz (King’s College London).



Ancient imperial Greek narrative literature, in a wide variety of
genres (fables, novels, epic poetry, historiography, biography, etc.),
has been shown to be a product of its rhetorical, philosophical, and
linguistic environments. It also is in dialogue with other genres
(such as New Comedy, elegy and epigrams, to name just a few), and is
impacted by complex processes not only of intercultural connections
and education, but also of literary self-awareness and representations
of otherness. While many studies have concentrated on the way Greek
imperial narrative absorbs preceding Greek and eastern traditions,
less systematic attention has been paid to how it uses, addresses or
confronts preceding Latin traditions.

This conference sets out to explore ways in which Greek narrative
responds to or engages with Latin literature and culture at large. By
studying cases of Latin interactions within ancient Greek narrative
under the Principate, the conference seeks not only to improve our
understanding of Greek-Latin overlaps in general, but also to find new
ways of conceptualising this corpus in particular. More specifically,
we aim 1. to discussing new methodological tools concerning reception;
2. to situate Greek works in their intellectual, bilingual and
multicultural environment; 3. to account for the conspicuous absences
of Rome from certain Greek productions under the Principate and
investigate the notion of cultural identity. We invite abstracts that
address these topics.





If you are interested in contributing to this conference, please send
an abstract (ca 200 words) in either English or French together with a
short CV stating your affiliation and current occupation to
olivier.demerre@ugent.beo:olivier.demerre@ugent.be>, no later
than 29/02/2020. We will send out confirmations about acceptance by
20/03/2020.

"Writing Ancient and Medieval Same-Sex Desire: Goals, Methods, Challenges"
June 30-July 2, 2020
Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
https://cms.victoria.ac.nz/slc/about/events/writing-ancient-and-medieval-same-sex-desire-goals,-methods,-challenges


This call for papers is for a conference to take place June 30-July 2,
2020 at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, on the topic
of writing about same-sex desire in ancient and medieval societies.

Derek Krueger (UNC Greensboro), Mark Masterson (Victoria University of
Wellington), Nancy Rabinowitz (Hamilton College), and Shaun Tougher
(Cardiff University) will be providing  plenary addresses.

++

For several decades now, scholars have devoted attention to same-sex
desire in both ancient times and the centuries that followed. Not
surprisingly, there have been vigorous debates over how to go about
it. These debates have been framed in various ways. Here are some
examples:

  *   essentialism VERSUS constructivism;
  *   Foucauldian discourse analysis VERSUS approaches inspired by
psychoanalysis;
  *   (the impossibility of) objective history VERSUS (overly)
subjective history;
  *   perception of commonalities across time VERSUS rigorously
historicizing insistence on the past's alterity;
  *   positivism VERSUS imaginative reconstruction of contemporaneous
receptions.

These dichotomies, which are both reductive and don't exhaust the
possibilities, continue to crackle with contention. They also continue
to undergird and even disturb current scholarly endeavours.

We are looking for papers (30 minutes in length) in which scholars not
only speak about primary source material but also reflect explicitly
on the theoretical orientation of their work (see the dichotomies
above for examples) and the purpose(s) of (their) scholarship on
same-sex desire. An additional objective of this conference will be an
edited volume of papers that will aim to showcase a variety of
approaches to this important topic.

Please send proposals (c. 500 words) to Mark Masterson
(writingsamesexdesire@gmail.comwritingsamesexdesire@gmail.com

>)
by 1 December 2019. If you have any questions, please send them to him
at this address also.

In your proposal include

  1.  the primary source material/historical milieu to be discussed, and
  2.  the general theoretical basis of the work

*Looking Ahead: Global Encounters in the North Atlantic, ca. 350–1300*

A special dossier in *Viator*

Co-edited by Nahir Otaño Gracia, Nicole Lopez-Jantzen, and Erica Weaver

In the last few years, several urgent interventions have begun to reshape
medieval studies as a more capacious and inclusive field. Scholars such as
Geraldine Heng, Monica Green, and Michael Gomez have expanded our
understanding of the multifaceted interactions between and among Africa,
Asia, Europe, and elsewhere, while Adam Miyashiro and Mary Rambaran-Olm
have urged us to reassess the North Atlantic in particular.
Traditionally, scholars
have tended to work within national borders or to focus on how North
Atlantic cultures changed the rest of the globe rather than how they were
themselves changed by global interactions, with drastic consequences for
our field––especially for our earliest periods.

In order to continue these important conversations and to expand what our
scholarship can look like going forward, this special essay cluster seeks
to provide a platform for early-career scholars to propose new critical
directions for the study of the early medieval North Atlantic, broadly
encompassing ca. 350–1300. We thus invite short, rigorous interventions
(2000–3500 words each), in the model of the popular conference genre of
“lightning talks.” In particular, we seek imaginative new work that expands
the contours of early medieval studies and challenges, or transgresses, its
standard disciplinary, temporal, and linguistic boundaries. Following the
example set by the IONA
<https://www.ionaassociation.org/2019-iona-conference>: Islands of the
North Atlantic conferences, we reject the unproductive disciplinary divides
that have separated the study of England, Wales, Ireland, Francia,
Scandinavia, the Iberian Peninsula, Africa, and even the Mediterranean both
from each other and from points further afield along the Atlantic rim and
beyond. We also aim to break down the divisions that have artificially
separated Late Antiquity and the early and high Middle Ages. We are
intentionally leaving this call for papers very broad, because we come from
the perspective that the global does not exclude the local, and vice-versa.
Moreover, the insular can be archipelagic. We welcome essays that bring
together North Atlantic and Mediterranean Studies, or that read what has
been seen as national literature from a transnational perspective.

In the spirit of emerging from our own linguistic silos and in *Viator*’s
usual practice, we thus welcome work from scholars writing in English,
Spanish, and French. Additionally, we particularly invite work from
graduate students, postdocs, independent scholars, and members of the
precariat as well as contributions that are explicitly feminist, queer,
anti-racist, and decolonial. We would like to be as inclusive as possible,
so please contact us if you have any questions.

Short abstracts of around 200 words are due by *December 2 *to
ViatorIssue@gmail.com, with essays to be submitted by* January 15*.

*Global Digital Humanities Symposium*

March 26-27, 2020

Michigan State University

msuglobaldh.org



*Call for Proposals*

Deadline: November 1

Proposal form <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/>



Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its
symposium series on Global DH (msuglobaldh.org <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/>)
into its fifth year, on *March 26-27, 2020*. Digital humanities scholarship
continues to be driven by work at the intersections of a range of distinct
disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to
cultural materials. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of MSU's Cultural
Heritage Informatics Program <http://chi.anthropology.msu.edu/>, we
particularly encourage proposals along that theme, but as always we strive
to showcase DH work in all its forms.



Alongside the expansion of digital humanities in under-resourced and
underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including,
among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation,
digital rights, endangered data <http://endangereddataweek.org/>, and the
digital divide. DH communities have raised and responded to these issues,
pushing the field forward. This symposium is an opportunity to broaden the
conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with
foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is
especially welcome. Additionally, we define the term “humanities” rather
broadly to incorporate the discussion of issues that encourage
interdisciplinary understanding of the
humanities.



Focused on these issues of social justice, we invite work at the
intersections of critical DH; race and ethnicity; feminism,
intersectionality, and gender; and anti-colonial and postcolonial
frameworks to participate.



This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types,
welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and
particularly on the following themes and topics by *Friday, November 1,
midnight in your timezone:*

   - Critical cultural studies and analytics
   - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts, particularly non-Western
   - DH as socially engaged humanities and/or as a social movement
   - Open data, open access, and data preservation as resistance,
   especially in a postcolonial context
   - How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital
   humanities work
   - Global research dialogues and collaborations within the digital
   humanities community
   - Indigeneity – anywhere in the world – and the digital
   - Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism
   - Global digital pedagogies
   - Borders, migration, and/or diaspora and their connection to the digital
   - Digital and global languages and literatures
   - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change
   - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages,
   and economies
   - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context
   - Surveillance and/or data privacy issues in a global context
   - Productive failure



*Presentation Formats:*

   - 5-minute lightning talk
   - 15-minute presentation
   - 90-minute workshop
   - 90-minute panel
   - Poster presentation
   - There will be a limited number of slots available for 15-minute
   virtual presentations



Please note that we conduct a double-blind review process, so please
refrain from identifying your institution or identity in your proposal.



*Submit a proposal here <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/>*

Marco Manuscript Workshop 2020 – “The Ends of Manuscripts”

January 31-February 1, 2020
Marco Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville

The fifteenth annual Marco Manuscript Workshop will take place Friday,
January 31, and Saturday, February 1, 2020, at the University of
Tennessee, Knoxville. The workshop is organized by Professors Maura K.
Lafferty (Classics) and Roy M. Liuzza (English), and is hosted by the
Marco Institute for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.

For this year’s workshop, as a tribute to the 2020 McClung Museum
exhibition “Visions of the End 1000-1600” (opening January 23), we
propose the theme “The Ends of Manuscripts.” We encourage everyone to
take this theme in the broadest possible sense; we invite submissions
that consider the “ends” of manuscripts – whether their physical
boundaries (colophons and explicits, incomplete texts, extrapolated
texts, lost or added leaves, booklets and bindings), their purposes
(texts written for particular patrons or communities, texts written
for devotional or polemical ends, texts written as responses to other
texts, texts prepared for or directed at someone or something), their
fates (where texts have ended up, in libraries or private collections,
in bindings or trash bins, framed on walls or preserved in digital
repositories), or their early coexistence with and gradual replacement
by printed books. Like detectives at a crime scene, we often must work
backward from the “ends” of a manuscript to its life and origins; in
these origins there may even lie some intimations of the manuscript’s
future demise. We welcome presentations on any aspect of this topic,
broadly imagined.

The workshop is open to scholars and graduate students in any field
who are engaged in textual editing, manuscript studies, or epigraphy.
Individual 75-minute sessions will be devoted to each project;
participants will be asked to introduce their text and its context,
discuss their approach to working with their material, and exchange
ideas and information with other participants. As in previous years,
the workshop is intended to be more like a class than a conference;
participants are encouraged to share new discoveries and unfinished
work, to discuss both their successes and frustrations, to offer both
practical advice and theoretical insights, and to work together
towards developing better professional skills for textual and
codicological work. We particularly invite the presentation of works
in progress, unusual manuscript problems, practical difficulties, and
new or experimental models for studying or representing manuscript
texts. Presenters will receive a $500 honorarium for their
participation.

The deadline for applications is November 2, 2019. Applicants are
asked to submit a current CV and a two-page letter describing their
project to Roy M. Liuzza, preferably via email to
rliuzza@utk.edurliuzza@utk.edu

>, or by mail to the Department
of English, University of Tennessee, 301 McClung Tower, Knoxville, TN
37996-0430.

The workshop is also open at no cost to scholars and students who do
not wish to present their own work but are interested in sharing a
lively weekend of discussion and ideas about manuscript studies.
Further details will be available later in the year; please contact
Roy Liuzza or the Marco Institute at
marco@utk.edumarco@utk.edu> for more information.

CALL FOR PAPERS / PECIA 22 (2020)

The medieval manuscript: text, object and tool of transmission
The next volume (22/2020) of PECIA. Le livre et l’écrit (Brepols)

object (of work or study, of luxury and ceremony, or for codicological
purposes) or as medium for the transmission of ideas (in the
manuscript tradition or as textual edition). All contributions
addressing the manuscript in its diversity, from the High Middle Ages
to the start of the Renaissance, are welcome.
