CALL:
We are pleased to announce the first call for papers for the annual UNISA Classics Colloquium, to be held in Pretoria from 15 to 18 August 2019.
The conference aims to explore issues marking celebrations, commemorations and anniversaries of all kinds around the ancient world (up to the 7th century CE, but including its reception in later periods). Topics enlarging on the literary, social and political significance of such events in the building of not only civic identities but also individual legacies, as well as the appropriation of these occasions in later contexts, will be welcomed.
Paper proposals (approximately 300 words) are invited for papers of 30 minutes debating current issues and problems on any aspect of the above theme. Abstracts and titles should include your name and university affiliation, and should be submitted to either:
· Liana Lamprecht at lamprjc@unisa.ac.za
· Martine De Marre at dmarrmea@gmail.com
Deadline for abstracts: 30 April 2019
Details of the conference venue, accommodation and other important information will be made available on the conference web site, which we hope to have up and running soon.
We look forward to hearing from you, and please do not hesitate to contact us at the addresses provided above if you have any queries.
