CALL:
The thirty-second meeting of the PacRim Roman Literature Seminar will be held at the University of Sydney from 11 to 13 July 2018. The theme for the 2018 conference will be interiority in Roman literature.
Papers are invited to explore Roman literature’s inner voices, visions and narratives; psychologies; inner lives; the ‘inward turn’ of Roman literature at various periods, such as the first and fourth centuries; interior spaces; inner sanctums and circles of power. Roman literature is conceived of as the literature of Roman world from its earliest beginnings to the end of antiquity. The theme may be interpreted broadly, and papers on other topics will also be considered.
Papers may be either 20 minutes (with ten minutes of discussion time), or 40 minutes (with 20 minutes of discussion). The Pacific Rim Seminar does not run parallel sessions; participants can attend any or all papers. Abstract proposals of 200-300 words should be sent to the convenor, Paul Roche, at paul.roche@sydney.edu.au . Submissions from graduate students and early-career researchers are welcome. Please have abstracts submitted by 27 February 2018 (earlier submissions welcome; please indicate whether your paper is of 20 or 40 minutes duration).
