<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is a
pleasure to invite you to the next, the XVII Conference on Patristic Studies
Oxford (10-14 August 2015), to visit our newly designed website
(<a href="http://www.oxfordpatristics.com/">http://www.oxfordpatristics.com</a>), to register and to submit your abstract
there. Hopefully, it should be much easier to do this than last round, but if
you encounter problems, please don’t hesitate to send me an email and I will do
the best I can that you can get registered and submit your abstract. All
deadlines – especially for the early bird discounted fees, you will find on the
website (<a href="http://www.oxfordpatristics.com/">http://www.oxfordpatristics.com</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As you
will see, the website looks different – but we would like to improve it even
more. It would be wonderful, if you could send me a few photographs of previous
conferences, as we could create a small archive on the site that presents such
photos to recreate memories.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

you can also visit our blog (<a href="http://oxfordpatristics.blogspot.co.uk/">http://oxfordpatristics.blogspot.co.uk/</a>) where we
are going to publish the abstracts, as soon as they are accepted. Please note,
we are also publishing reviews on our blog, call for papers, conferences and
others – if you wish your book to be reviewed please ask the publishers to send
the book to my King’s College London address.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Inspiré par la
publication du célèbre « Uomo Bizantino » de Guglielmo Cavallo (Laterza 1992;
éd. angl. The Byzantines, The University of Chicago Press, 1997), et le travail
d'Alexander Kazhdan, en particulier « Bisanzio e la sua civiltà » (Laterza,
1983 ; éd. orig. Vizantijskaja kul'tura (X-XII vv.), 1968), ce numéro se
prépose d'analyser les aspects sociaux et anthropologiques de l’ « être
byzantin », par ses figures les plus représentatives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nous analyserons
le comportement de l’« homo byzantinus » dans différentes époques et contexte
sociaux. Les figures comme l'empereur, le moine, le soldat, l'écrivain, pour
n'en citer que quelques-unes, sont fondamentales pour comprendre la société
byzantine au prisme des sciences sociales.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Patricia H. Imbesi Saint Augustine Fellow of
Villanova University seeks to foster scholarship, whether in Augustine or in
the Augustinian Tradition. As an Augustinian Catholic university – founded in
1842 by the Order of Saint Augustine—Villanova has always sought to promote the
study of Saint Augustine, both within the university and beyond. The
university’s curriculum is shaped by an Augustinian vision, as articulated in
the distinctive Augustinian words found on the Seal of the University: Veritas,
Unitas, Caritas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The academic commitment to the Augustinian tradition
is evident in the publication of the journal Augustinian Studies, in the
curricular initiatives that enhance its Augustinian character, and by
sponsoring lectures, conferences, discussion groups, etc. that bring the
Augustinian tradition into dialogue with present-day issues.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Patricia H. Imbesi Saint Augustine Fellow seeks to
foster scholarship in Augustine or in the Augustinian Tradition by sharing with
other dedicated scholars. This fellowship thus seeks to enhance cooperation
among scholars so as to build a community of scholars.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">La question de la
propriété foncière et de l’inégalité des fortunes est fondamentale dans
l’analyse des systèmes politiques. Grecs et Romains s’interrogèrent ainsi sur
l’identité entre citoyen et propriétaire et sur le classement censitaire des
citoyens. L’Orient romain se trouva ainsi à la confluence de deux conceptions
qui envisageaient sous un jour différent les conséquences de l’inégalité des
fortunes foncières pour la participation à la vie politique. Ces préoccupations
politiques trouvent des traductions concrètes dans ce que l’on pourrait appeler
« deux Orients romains » : le premier où le modèle civique est ancien (la
Grèce, l’Asie mineure occidentale, la Syrie côtière et septentrionale à un
moindre degré) et un second qui le découvre progressivement à l’époque romaine
(Anatolie centrale, régions de Syrie, Égypte). De l’époque de Sylla, qui voit
des recompositions importantes dans les sociétés civiques en fonction des
prises de position au sujet des Romains, au IVe s., où des documents aussi
remarquables que les cens d’Asie mineure occidentale peuvent être relevés, les
problèmes posés par la propriété foncière dans le fonctionnement civique
apparaissent nombreux et divers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nous souhaitons
ainsi étudier un facteur important de l’évolution du modèle civique dans
l’Orient romain, autour de la figure fondamentale, mais peut-être plus
difficile à saisir qu’il n’y paraît, du citoyen propriétaire : des
recompositions économiques sont peut-être au cœur de l’évolution
institutionnelle de la polis dans le monde romain. Les thèmes suivants nous
paraissent plus particulièrement susceptibles d’encadrer la réflexion, sans
prétendre à l’exhaustivité :<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A conference to celebrate the completion of the restoration
of Santa Maria Antiqua and to commemorate the 75<sup>th</sup> anniversary of
the death of Gordon McNeil Rushforth<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Between 1900 and 1914 Giacomo Boni and the
Soprintendenza Archeologica di Roma exposed and excavated the church complex of
S Maria Antiqua, which was partially abandoned in the 9th century and later
completely buried. In 1902, Gordon Rushforth, first Director of the British
School at Rome, published one of the earliest definitive papers on the site. In
2000, these two organisations organised the Conference ‘Santa Maria Antiqua al Foro
Romano cento anni dopo’ to mark the centenary of the exposure of the site. In
2013, they are again sponsoring jointly, with others, a conference to consider
further advances in research on this unique church and also to consider the
additional information gained during the restorations now nearing completion.
The conference will include a visit to the site <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">(which is not yet routinely accessible).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Following the recommendations of the 2000 conference,
the 2013 conference will focus on placing the S Maria Antiqua complex in the
context of its surroundings (the Forum, the Palatine and the wider Byzantine
and Early Medieval world). It was Gordon Rushforth who first pointed out that
the inscriptions on the four scrolls held by the church fathers in the apse
came from the Acts of the Lateran Synod of 649 and the reasons for this link
will be explored further. In addition there will be sessions dealing with the
establishment of a church on the site, incubation, the cult of medical saints
and changing social and political concerns within Rome and the Byzantine Empire
during the life of the complex. The additional insights and interpretations of
the decorations made possible by the ongoing restorations will also be central
to the conference. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The cultural and religious history from Antiquity
through the Renaissance may be read through the lens of the rise and demise of
auctoritates. Throughout this long period of about two millennia, many
historical persons have been considered as exceptionally authoritative.
Obviously, this authority derived from their personal achievements. But one
does not become an authority on one’s own. In many cases, the way an
authority’s achievements were received and disseminated by their contemporaries
and later generations, was the determining factor in the construction of their
authority. We will focus on the latter aspect: what are the mechanisms and
strategies by which participants in intellectual life at large have shaped the
authority of historical persons? On what basis, why and how were some persons
singled out above their peers as exceptional auctoritates and by which
processes did this continue (or discontinue) over time? What imposed
geographical or other limits on the development and expansion of a person’s auctoritas?
Which circumstances led to the disintegration of the authority of persons
previously considered to be authoritative?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We invite interdisciplinary and innovative scholarly
case studies that document these processes. They may focus on one (group of)
source(s) to analyse its contribution to shaping the authority of a historical
person or they may take a longue durée perspective on the rise (and demise) of
a person’s auctoritas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thematic clusters one can think of may include (1)
Biography, historiography and hagiography as grounds for authority; (2) The
role played by manuscript transmission and production; (3) The contribution of
non-textual sources; (4) Biblical characters as authorities. Papers are invited
from fields as diverse as philosophy, classical studies, Oriental and Byzantine
studies, history, theology and religion, art history, manuscript studies and
hagiography.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The papers selected for presentation at the conference
will preferably be case studies which contain the following elements in some
combination: (1) Presentation and analysis of the sources and their context;
(2) Analysis of the strategies for the “making of authority”; (3) Description
of the long term success (or failure) of these enterprises.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Conference organised by Almut Höfert, Hans Peter Pökel,
Matthew Mesley and Serena Tolino<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">From antiquity to modernity, pre-modern ruling systems
in different parts of the world often shared a common feature: the
participation of men who were either physically unable or normatively forbidden
to father children. One the one hand, there were the childless eunuchs who
fulfilled a variety of functions at courts in the Middle East, Byzantium and
China; they were much more than simply guardians of the harem. Due to their
specific “gender”, the eunuchs formed an integral part of the different ruling
systems; indeed, they held a central position in court politics, and their
loyalty towards the reigning dynasty was not conditional on nepotism or
favouritism towards their family, since they were childless. On the other hand,
we have the ruling priests: the celibate bishops both in the Byzantine Empire
and Latin Europe. Whereas the Eastern Church tolerated eunuchs as priests, the
Western Church demanded that a priest was not castrated, and that instead he
needed to have the willpower and resolve to remain celibate. Bishops, who
formed an integral part of the ruling elites in both the Western and Eastern
were subject to the same rules surrounding celibacy, and were prevented in
theory from fathering legitimate children.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Without aiming at a strict comparison between the two
groups, this conference wants to take the phenomenon of pre-modern ruling
systems that incorporate celibate or childless men, as a starting point in order
to address the following questions:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">(1) What were
the political and economical consequences of integrating men who were childless
or without any legitimate children into the ruling elites and the respective
networks of family and kinship?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">(2) If we take
the definition of gender by R. Connell in his classic study on Masculinities
(Gender as a social practice in relation to the “reproductive arena”), we might
expect specific gender conceptions for both priests and eunuchs. How should we
view these men: as a third gender; a hybrid gender; or as an asexual gender?
Were they always gendered in a specific way or only in certain contexts or
environments? And how did the actors perceive their own role in this respect?
Is gender still “a useful tool of historical analysis” (Joan Scott) even, or
should we adopt different approaches?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">(3) What was
the relationship between these men and a divinely legitimized rule in respect
to sacredness?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In asking these questions, this conference aims to
shed light on the culture of political rule in a period before a strict
biological dichotomy of the sexes might be said to have existed. We hope that
the ensuing discussion and debate will open up new perspectives on the
connections, parallels and peculiarities that can be discovered between rule
and gender on a pre-modern global level. The papers will explore such themes
within the Middle East, the Roman Empire in Late Antiquity and Byzantium, Latin
Europe, China and other geographic areas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Applications are invited for one PhD position (AIO) in
the NWO-FWO research project "Finding the Present in the Distant Past: The
Cultural Meaning of Antiquarianism in Late Antiquity (4-7th c. AD)" in
collaboration with the Department of History of Ghent University (Belgium). The
project focuses on Greek and Latin antiquarian writing in Late Antiquity and
its cultural meaning in the period. The main research hypothesis of this
project is that late ancient interest in antiquarianism developed in
interaction with an awareness that the world was undergoing fundamental changes
and hence an increased distance from the classical past, which was idealized in
education, was perceived.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The successful candidate will write a dissertation on
the socio-literary context of late antique antiquarian historians, and in
particular on the relationship between rhetorical education and historiography.

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Crystal Addey (addeycj@cardiff.ac.uk) and Deepa
Majumdar (dmajumda@pnc.edu), "<b>The
Afterlife, Reincarnation and Return to the Divine in Neoplatonism</b>". This
panel welcomes papers on Neoplatonic eschatology, on views of the afterlife, as
well as on related topics including (but not limited to) the themes of reward
and punishment, judgement and purification, and the role of eschatology in the
Orphic Gold Tablets and in Neoplatonic uses of Orphic material. We welcome
papers on the nature, purpose and place of the doctrine of reincarnation, or
rebirth, the transmigration of souls (especially the vexed question of whether
human souls transmigrate into animal bodies), the difference between
reincarnation and return (to the First Principle), and the relationship between
reincarnation, self-knowledge, embodiment, becoming, and time. We also welcome
papers on the nature of the respites (temporal and otherwise) from reincarnation,
through death, forelife and afterlife, through the particular soul’s expiatory return
to the World Soul, and through a rapturous awakening from the state of embodiment.
The role played by reincarnation in bridging the immanent self to the transcendent
self is another welcome topic. Yet another significant theme might be the possible
relationship between the soul’s eschatological and spiritual journey(s). What
is the relationship between reincarnation, and the central goal of Neoplatonic
philosophy –namely, assimilation to the divine or becoming like a god? What justifies
the final exit from the otherwise endless temporal cycles of reincarnation? We
particularly welcome papers which consider the possible implications of
Neoplatonic views of the afterlife and reincarnation for metaphysics,
psychology, ethics and ritual praxis, such as theurgy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

are invited on any aspect of the relationship of Neoplatonic thought to Indian philosophy.
We are especially interested in papers on purification, Platonic and Neoplatonic
soteriology, the soul’s journey, the indefinite dyad, androgyny, and polytheism.
Contributions will also be accepted on aspects of Indo-European religion, especially
linguistic studies of the IE roots for “being.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

and Alexandru Pelin (alexpelin@yahoo.it), "<b>Proclus and Damascius on Plato's Parmenides</b>". Plato’s
Parmenides was a constant challenge for the Neoplatonists, in their endeavor to
expand their doctrines, but also to criticize their predecessors within the
Neoplatonic School. This panel is dedicated to the differences and similarities
in Proclus’ and Damascius’ readings of Plato’s Parmenides, as paradigmatic for
late Neoplatonic philosophy. Another aspect to be considered is how much of
their enterprise was a dogmatic one and tributary to a Neoplatonic agenda, and
the degree of innovation that their interpretation exemplified. Papers that
deal with comparisons between Proclus and Damascius, separated features of
their reading of Plato’s Parmenides, or traces of a critical attitude towards
the Neoplatonic program in the writings of these two authors are welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Bauchwitz (neoplatonismo@bol.com.br), "<b>Modern and Contemporary Receptions of Neoplatonism</b>". The SIAEN
panel centers on the modern and contemporary reception of Neoplatonism. Submitted
contributions are expected to highlight direct or indirect repercussions of key
concepts of Neoplatonism present in post-medieval or contemporary authors of
any national backgrounds, who have expressed themselves not only in philosophy,
but also in literature and in other forms of art, in environmental studies and
in science, in ways that can be considered relevant to contemporary thought and
life. Authors are advised to indicate possible or putative influences received
from the Hellenistic or Medieval tradition; discussions between advocates of
classical ontology, process philosophy and meontology are encouraged.
Communications should be orally presented in Portuguese, Spanish or English;
texts can be submitted in those languages and also in Galician, Catalan, French
or Italian. O painel da SIAEN tem como objetivo congregar pesquisadores em
torno da recepção moderna e contemporânea do neoplatonismo. </span>São esperadas contribuições que
destaquem repercussões diretas ou indiretas de conceitos-chave do
neoplatonismo, presentes em autores pós-medievais ou contemporaneos de qualquer
background nacional, e que tenham se manifestado não apenas na filosofia, mas
também na literatura e em outras formas de arte, em estudos ambientais e na
ciência, na medida em que possam ser considerados relevantes para o pensamento
e para a vida contemporâneos. Recomenda-se aos autores indicar as correntes de
possíveis e supostas influências recebidas da tradição helenística ou medieval;
discussões entre defensores da ontologia clássica, filosofia do processo e
meontologia serão estimuladas. As comunicações devem ser oralmente apresentadas
em português, espanhol ou inglês; os textos podem ser escritos nessas línguas e
também em galego, catalão, francês ou italiano.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and John Hendrix (jhendrix@rwu.edu), "<b>Neoplatonism
and the Arts</b>". This session aims to show the cultural influence of
Neoplatonic ideas - of beauty, hypostases of being, and workings of phantasia
and nous, for example, as they are represented in the visual arts-architecture,
painting and sculpture and drawing. The presences
of Neoplatonic structures in the arts reveal emblematic, theological and social
traditions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This panel continues the previous ones which began in 2007. The original
intention was to explore the theme of providence and connection with freedom in
order to uncover a framework for the concepts post-Plotinian Neoplatonism;
other aspects, or other authors worth studying, once more. Contributions on all
aspects of Neoplatonism are welcome including the most important Platonic
texts, the Timaeus, and the Laws, as well as the writings of Aristotle, the
Stoïcs, and the late commentators, such as Simplicius, so too Hermeticism,
Gnosticism, the Platonism of the Church Fathers, and later or contemporary
Neoplatonism, the theme of Providence in connection with freedom. Thus,
possible topics include Platonic theology of divine providence, treatment of
human freedom in any form of Platonism, studies on fatalism and determinism,
and the role of daimons, in philosophy or religion. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">of their daily activity was the practice of prayer,
sacrifice and meditation. The goal of this round table is to explore the role
of prayer in the Platonic tradition (e.g., Plotinus, Porphyry, Iamblichus,
Proclus, but also Pseudo-Dionysius and Psellos), also in relation with the
religious practices of the Graeco-Roman world, a topic understudied in the
field of Neoplatonic studies.The starting point of this reflection could be two
passages of Plato’s work which will have a significant influence in the later
period, that with which Timaeus begins his cosmological exposition in the
Timaeus (27 c), and the prescriptions on prayer made by the Athenian Stranger
in Laws VII, 801 a-b.We intend to analyze, for <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">example, the Neoplatonic prayer as form of meditation/
contemplation (theôria) and as spiritual exercise. Papers on the relation
between prayer and theurgy, possibly in relation with the formulae prescribed
in the magical papyri, are equally welcome. Other suitable topics would be the
Neoplatonic classifications of prayers or the relation between prayer and the
mystic union (henôsis) with the divine. The final purpose of this reflection
should be a better understanding of the spiritual life and religious experience
of the later Platonists.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

"<b>Lovers of the Soul, Lovers of the Body:
Platonists on the Soul and the Body</b>." The times have passed when the
scholarly discussion of the relation between soul and body in ancient
philosophy resembled one concerning positive and negative images in photography.
Intrigued and inspired by the dialectics of the ancient philosophers' famous analogy
of the relation between soul and body as "mixing between wine and
water," we would like to invite papers investigating this relationship in
the Platonic tradition, including Middle and Neoplatonism, ‘pagan,’ Jewish, and
Christian alike. Papers presenting the Peripatetic and Islamic views on the
topic are equally welcomed. A tentative but not exclusive list of topics
includes the nature, composition, origin of the soul and the body, the relation
of soul to matter, and the relation of the body to eternal <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

from modern and contemporary philosophy is the emphasis it places on philosophy
as a way of life. Pierre Hadot (Philosophy as a Way of Life (1995), What is

by Hadot and Cooper, with particular historical attention to late antiquity. We
invite submissions on individual philosophers, groups of philosophers, or

to investigate Plotinus’ engagement with Aristotle, covering areas of agreement
and points of conflict. Logic
(especially the categories), metaphysics (primary and secondary activity), and epistemology
(sensation and imagination) provide topics of convergence, but not without
difficulties from both sides. The soul
as entelechy, the conflict between civic and purificatory virtues, the nature
of eudaimonia, by contrast, present neuralgic points, especially for
Plotinus. Papers will be welcome in
these and other areas where the thought of Aristotle and Plotinus engage one

"<b>Platonic Appropriations</b>".
This panel covers issues related to how Platonic authors (including the early
academy, Middle Platonism, later Academies, and Neoplatonism) used ideas from
other schools of thought as a part of a Platonic worldview. Were such
importations successful? Can we say they naturally follow from Plato's
writings, or are they interjections that contradict other concerns and
doctrines within the body of Platonic thought? Can we find appropriated
philosophies that are implicit in the writings of Platonists, though not attributed
to the originating school? Some schools that have been or may have been appropriated
include the Pythagoreans, Sophists, various religious cults, Stoics, Epicureans
(yes? maybe?), Skeptics, Hermeticists, Gnostics, and Peripatetics.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

In Ennead II 9 [33], which Porphyry entitled "Against the Gnostics"
or "Against those who say that the Demiurge of the world is evil and that
the world is evil," Plotinus mentions various polemical themes against his
opponents, who appear to be Christian and Gnostic, although he never calls them
such. Plotinus presents four main areas of criticism against his polemical
target, not so much to attack them as to defend their influence on his students:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sergei Mariev (s.mariev@lmu.de), "<b>Byzantine Perspectives on Neoplatonism</b>".
One of the differences between the intellectual history of the Latin West and
that of the Byzantine East stems from the fact that the Byzantine intellectual
elite not only had direct access to the Neoplatonic sources in the original
language but also, at times, showed a particular interest in them. The present
panel welcomes contributions that focus on the "Byzantine side" of
the reception process of Neoplatonic authors from Late Antiquity (= Early
Byzantine Period) through to the Late Byzantine Period (15th century and
beyond). In particular, contributions should aim to identify some specific
questions and concerns that drew the interest of Byzantine scholars from
different periods towards Neoplatonic sources. Which aspects of the Neoplatonic
doctrine provoked responses from Christian scholars during the Early Byzantine
Period? Which questions attracted the attention of a Byzantine polymath such as
Michael Psellos and his student John Italos in the 11th C..? What role did
Neoplatonic Philosophy play in the context of "Byzantine Humanism" in
the 14th C. (Nikephoros Gregoras and his circle)? Why would Georgios Gemistos
(alias Pletho) want to turn to Neoplatonic doctrines in the 15th C.?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">rather than on the relations between city and school
as in E. Watts (2006)Epictetus charted two approaches to discipleship: one of
surrender for the purpose of spiritual growth and the other – conceptual for
the display of learning: Do I go to my teacher, like one who goes to consult an
oracle, prepared to obey? Or do I too, like a sniffling child, go to school to
learn only the history of philosophy and to understand the books which I did
not understand before, and, if chance offers, to explain them to others?”
(Epictetus, Discourses 2.21.10, tr. W. A. Oldfather) Did these two paths
mutually exclude each other or were they integrated into a unified experience?
Socrates consulted the Delphic oracle: did the philosopher in late antiquity become
an oracular figure himself? Are there aspects of discipleship that were unique
to late antiquity? Are there traits that pervaded the tradition from the
beginning to its end? How were master-disciple relationships articulated? What
were the fissures between ideal and reality? What were the overlaps and
differences between the Christian monastic ideal and the ideal of philosophical
discipleship? Are there any useful ways to compare the late antique experience
of discipleship with master-disciple relations in other times and cultures?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Summer School “Understanding Byzantium in the
Balkans: Where the East met / parted from the West” will explore the
fascinating phenomenon of Byzantium and its enduring impact on Medieval
Balkans. The objective of the Summer School is to address the complex
socio-economic, cultural and political processes that led to the transformation
of the Roman world and emergence of Byzantium and the Balkans as gravitational
zones between East and West. The leading international scholars in the field of
Byzantine and medieval Balkan studies will present the latest insights in
addressing the various questions concerning the re-evaluation of issues of
group identity and ethnogenesis in the Balkans, the concept of making of the
Slavs, the examination of Byzantium as Superpower and Soft Power and as an
enduring appeal to external elite, along with development of the Balkans as
highway and flashpoint between Latin West and Byzantine East. Through appliance
of new approach in historical and archaeological research the Summer School
will explore Byzantine and Balkan studies in the Western Europe and United
States and put them in a dialogue with those taking place in Southeastern
Europe. The main goal is to stimulate the critical thinking and to raise the
understanding of Byzantium and the Balkans and their place in international
history, grasping them not as a factor of East-West division but as a
integrative component of the European cultural history.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The course deals with one of the least studied periods
in the history of the Balkans, 500 to 900, a period for which there is dearth
of written sources, but a relative abundance of archaeological material. This
crucial period for the transition between Late Antiquity and the early Middle
Ages in the Balkans is worth a fresh look, if only to compare the situation in
the Peninsula with the general paradigm of the "transformation of the
Roman world," which is now dominant among historians in Western Europe and
North America (see, for example, Chris Wickham's conspicuous neglect of the
Balkans in his "Framing of the Early Middle Ages"). The purpose of
this course will be to give an overview of the considerable progress made in
archaeological research over the last two decades, especially in the field of
numismatics (e.g., the publication of the catalogue of hoards found in the
Balkans with tpq between 491 and 713), small finds (Mechthild
Schulze-Dorrlamm's analysis of so-called Byzantine belt buckles and mounts in
the collection of the Roman-Germanic Museum in Mainz), and the chronology of
the Avar age (Peter Stadler's path-breaking studies based on correspondence
analysis of a large number of burial assemblages, calibrated with radiocarbon
dates). Besides a brief discussion of the problems posed by the few literary
sources available (primarily the Miracles of St. Demetrius and Theophanes
Confessor), this course will take a fresh look at the archaeological evidence
pertaining to urban centers, rural settlements, and burials, as well as the
numismatic evidence (both single finds and hoards). Moreover, the discussion
will involve a re-evaluation of issues of group identity, primarily that
connected to the early Slavs, Bulgars, Serbs, and Croats. In the light of the
historical and archaeological evidence, the course advances a new
interpretation of the spatial distribution of sites and of their occupation
phases that is radically different from that proposed by most scholars who
regard the seventh century as the period of the "Slavic tide"
inundating the Balkans. Similar attention will be paid to the current debate
surrounding the Croat ethnogenesis. The main theme of the course, however, is
the implementation of the social and economic structures that marked a radical
departure from Antiquity and the beginning of the medieval period in the
history of the Balkans.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies (CEMS) at
Central European University, and its junior members are proud to announce the
forthcoming third International Graduate Conference on “Tradition and
Transformation: Dissent and Consent in the Mediterranean,” Budapest, May
31–June 1, 2013. This two–day conference intends to explore a broad spectrum of
aspects regarding the appropriation and transformation of cultural and
religious traditions that informed the spiritual and intellectual struggles and
changes in the Mediterranean from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern period.
Taking into account the dynamic sociohistorical setting of religious and
cultural processes, it seeks to approach the manner in which the permanently
competing communities questioned, structured and performed their own beliefs
and religious practices by disclosing heresies and shaping their orthodoxies.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The vast dimensions of the intellectual and religious
concord and strife between, but also within, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam,
which shaped their traditions and unveiled their dissenting interpretations,
commend a persistent and multifaceted interdisciplinary research. Graduate
students of Late Antique, Islamic, Jewish, Byzantine, Western Medieval, Ottoman
studies as well as students in the field of philosophy, theology, history of
religion, sociology of religion, anthropology, etc., are invited to present
their research on particular themes that reflect and address the complex
formation and development of cultural, intellectual and religious identities in
the Mediterranean.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">En 2000, le Groupe
de Recherche (GDR) « Cultes et sanctuaires de l’Afrique romaine et byzantine »
réunissait pour quatre ans sous la direction de François Baratte des équipes de
chercheurs travaillant sur l’Afrique antique, plus particulièrement sur
l’actuelle Tunisie, issues des universités Paris-Sorbonne (F. Baratte), Lille
III (R. Hanoune) et d’Aix-Marseille (M. Fixot, M. Griesheimer), du Collège de
France (J. Scheid), d’Ausonius-Bordeaux 3 (J.-Cl. Golvin) et de l’École Normale
Supérieure Ulm (V. Brouquier-Reddé, CNRS). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Inscrit dans la
longue durée, le thème fédérateur de ce groupement de recherche s’organisait
autour des phénomènes religieux dans un monde tout d’abord exclusivement païen,
puis dans lequel le christianisme prenait une place de plus en plus importante
pour devenir enfin prépondérant. Plusieurs chantiers de fouilles dans lesquels
les membres du GDR étaient impliqués ont nourri leur réflexion dont l’avancée
avait été marquée par plusieurs rencontres et publications. Depuis 1993, les
recherches conduites sur le territoire de l’Afrique antique ont apporté
beaucoup de nouveau : la découverte de monuments inédits, parfois
spectaculaires, dans tout la période prise en compte, des royaumes maurétaniens
à la conquête arabe, et à travers tout l’espace considéré, de la Libye au
Maroc, et des études de détail rendues possibles par le progrès des méthodes de
l’archéologie permettent une nouvelle approche, plus précise, des phénomènes
religieux, des édifices, temples et églises, et des manifestations du culte.
Plus de dix ans après l’achèvement du GDR, es acteurs principaux de ces études
confronteront leurs points de vue sur la question des rites, de l’organisation
du culte ou des édifices selon les axes suivants : <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Recent scholarship has witnessed an escalating
interest in the study of Greek literary epigram, which was given further
momentum by the discovery and publication of the New Milan Papyrus, attributed
to Posidippus of Pella. Considerable progress has been made in our appreciation
of the development and features of the genre and its exponents in the
Hellenistic period. However, intense scholarly focus on Hellenistic epigram has
led to an under-appreciation of the later epigrammatic material, from the Roman
to the Byzantine period. The aim of this international conference is to
investigate the changes that literary epigram underwent over the centuries, its
interrelationship with other Greek literary genres and with the visual arts, as
well as the factors which influenced its development across time. In this way
the conference aims to advance our understanding of the epigram by shifting
focus away from an author-, garland,- and time-based study of epigrams and
exploring Greek literary epigrams - from the Hellenistic to those included in
the Cycle of Agathias - in a wider perspective, leading to the understanding of
the larger dynamics that shaped the epigram as a literary type, and the factors
that influenced its development and guaranteed its survival throughout antiquity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Le colloque international sur « le répertoire décoratif en Méditerranée antique et médiévale » se propose de traiter d’un thème qui, même s’il a souvent été abordé par les spécialistes ne garde pas moins de nombreuses zones d’ombre et interpelle par sa problématique, d’autant plus que l’iconographie s’enrichit par de nouvelles découvertes nécessitant, ainsi, une réflexion renouvelée et un débat continu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ce colloque ne s’est pas fixé pour but l’élaboration d’un catalogue exhaustif des motifs décoratifs de la Méditerranée depuis l’Antiquité étant donné leur nature multiple, il s’agit plutôt de mettre en exergue les différents éléments de l’acte ornemental : les motifs, les objets décorés ou de décoration, les champs décoratifs de même que les différents intervenants qui se sont livrés à la conception et à la réalisation. À côté de son aspect esthétique, le motif décoratif, doit être situé dans son contexte historique permettant de mener une réflexion sur des problématiques en rapport avec la création, la continuité, la rupture, les significations, etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Voici les trois thèmes autour desquels les participants peuvent intervenir :</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1- Le répertoire décoratif en Méditerranée antique (depuis la préhistoire jusqu’à l’Antiquité tardive).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2- Le répertoire décoratif en Méditerranée médiévale.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3- Le passage du répertoire décoratif antique au répertoire médiéval (continuité, rupture, évolution et innovation).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Notre colloque se veut une occasion pour les participants de présenter et d’échanger les savoirs et les méthodes liés au répertoire décoratif et à la décoration de façon générale. Les intervenants peuvent traiter les motifs décoratifs figurant sur tous les supports : motifs gravés, incisés, peints ou sculptés.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the Department of History of Ghent University
(Belgium), a post-doctoral position is available for four years (consisting of
two two-year periods), as part of an ERC-funded research project on late
antique historiography (A.D. 300-800). The project will a) establish a complete
inventory of late ancient historiography; b) produce editions of fragmentary
texts; c) study medieval compilations; and d) situate late-antique
historiography in its cultural and literary context.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The theme of this international conference, hosted by
Franz Cumont’s alma mater Ghent University, is the way Cumont and his
contemporaries conceived the relationship of Early Christianity to the pagan
mystery cults. We will also include predecessors and more recent scholarship on
this topic. Cumont was a pioneer of the scientific study of the oriental
religions. Many of his publications (e.g. The Mysteries of Mithras, 1900)
fuelled the early 20th century debates about Christianity’s dependence on the
pagan cults through the similarities they suggested between these religious
traditions. Cumont expressed his opinion only indirectly and ambiguously, but
other scholars have been more explicit in demonstrating or denying such
influences.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This conference serves multiple purposes. The first
set of aims is to reconstruct, evaluate and contextualize Cumont’s views on
this much debated topic in early 20th century history of religions, through the
reconstruction of his ideas, as well as of those of his contemporaries. We are
e.g. thinking of Cumont’s long time friend and correspondent Alfred Loisy, but
also of comparative historians of religions, belonging to Cumont’s network,
like Eugène Goblet d’Alviella, Raffaele Pettazzoni, Nicolà Turchi, James George
Frazer, Arthur Darby Nock, Salomon Reinach, Prosper Alfaric, Hermann Usener,
Richard Reitzenstein, Carl Clemen, … We also want to include and discuss the
different scientific, social, religious and ideological backgrounds of these
scholars, so as to create a nuanced synthesis of the factors which could have
influenced the different positions in this discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
