REMINDER: CALL FOR PAPERSCLASSICAL ASSOCIATION OF THE CANADIAN WEST2013 CONFERENCE: ON THE MARGINS OF ANTIQUITYUNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON, MARCH 22-24, 2013

摘要

The Classical Association of the Canadian West invites proposals for papers for its annual conference, to be held inEdmonton on March 22-24, 2013. Papers on any topic within Classics will be considered, but we particularlyencourage paper- and session-proposals on topics which, in the opinion of the presenters, are on the margins of ourdiscipline. Presenters are free to choose which 'margins' those are. Besides topics at the chronological orgeographical edges of Classical Antiquity, one could think of marginally preserved materials (e.g. wooden objects),the margins of society (e.g. transhumant shepherds), regional languages, little-read ancient texts (e.g. papyri), themargins of scholarship (e.g. historical fiction) or, indeed, scholarship in the margin (marginalia), to name a fewpossibilities. Exploring such topics will not only broaden our horizons, but also, we hope, bring into focus internalizedboundaries that separate the marginal from the mainstream in our field. That in turn, we trust, will inspire debate onthe scope of our discipline, both in the margins of this conference and beyond.
