Subject: PLC: CFP: INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE CLASSICAL TRADITION


FOURTH MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE CLASSICAL TRADITION (ISCT)

University of Tuebingen (Germany), July 29 - August 2, 1998


Papers are invited on all aspects of the transmission, reception, and impact of
Graeco-Roman antiquity on other cultures and later periods, from the ancient
world itself to the present time.

Conference languages will be English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. The
style of the Fourth Meeting will be similar to that of the First, Second, and
Third Meetings (Boston University, March 1991; University of Tuebingen, August
1992; and Boston University, March 1995; program brochures of the Third Meeting
are available upon request). Presentations of 20, 30, or (in a few cases) 40
minutes will be arranged in thematic sections and panels. This time the overall
program will combine paper sequences, including short discussion periods, with
seminar style sessions. While most papers will be presented in several parallel
sections, there will also be a few plenary and semi-plenary lectures. Proposals
for thematic panels, seminars, or larger units are welcome.

Abstracts of papers (not more than 25 lines, one-and-a-half-spaced) and
proposals for panels etc., as well as any suggestions and inquiries (including
about the ISCT and the Society's quarterly *International Journal of the
Classical Tradition*) should be sent to the organizers at Boston University as
early as possible. The deadline for submission of abstracts and proposals is
December 15, 1997. Presenters will be notified
on behalf of the Program Committee by January 16, 1998. A preliminary program
will be available by February 20, the definitive program by May 1, 1998. A
volume of copies of revised abstracts will be distributed for a
fee at the beginning of the Meeting.

There will be a registration fee of $50 (or DM 80) due from all presenters and
other attendants.
