2nd CALL FOR PAPERS

*Women in Classical Antiquity: Between Image and Lived Realities*

*Chairs: Dr. Diana Rodríguez-Pérez (Edinburgh-FECYT) and Dr. Glenys Davies
(Edinburgh)*

* *
We invite offers of papers to form a conference panel at the *8th Celtic
Conference in Classics*, to be held at the University of Edinburgh from
25-28 June, 2014.

The panel seeks to explore women, their images and realia in the classical
cultures including those of Greece, Rome, Etruria, Persia, and contemporary
indigenous societies such as the Iberian. It will pivot on visual culture
and archaeology, including all forms of artistic representation, with
special attention to the problems and methodologies involved.

The aim of the panel is twofold: to study the images of women and the
archaeological evidence regarding them from varied points of view and
methodologies (art-history, iconography, post structuralism? ), and to
address the question of how images can contribute to our understanding (or
misunderstanding) of the lived realities of women in the ancient world.

Topics for discussion may include, but are not limited to:

-       Scenes or images of women in their sociopolitical context
-       Images abroad. Women in the export market
-       Images, symbols, metaphors
-       How (not) to paint a woman
-       Women and death
-       Grave goods and gender identity
-       Women?s pots: only for women?
-       Colonial contacts and women
-       Cosmetics
-       Clothing and hairstyle
-       The beautiful woman
-       Divine models


We welcome proposals for papers of 20 minutes on any of the above (or
related) topics. Please, send abstracts of a maximum of 300 words to
diana.rodperez at gmail.com and/or g.m.davies at ed.ac.uk by *1st November, 2013.*
Please, note that the Celtic Conference is self-funding and all speakers
must arrange and bear the cost of their own accommodation, subsistence and
conference fee.

*The languages of the Celtic Conference in Classics are English and French.
