APPLICATION DEADLINE: 1 March 2008.
The European Science Foundation and the EUROCORES
Programme "Consciousness in a Natural and
Cultural Context (CNCC)" is sponsoring a one-week
interdisciplinary collegium/summer school on
contemporary research in the area of social
cognition, theory of mind, and narrative theory
at the University of San Marino in San Marino.

Subject: Esse 9 Conference Panel.
ESSE 9 conference -- Aarhus, Denmark, 22-26 August 2008:
Seminar 20: Shakespeare and Discourse Stylistics.
The next ESSE conference will be held at the
University of Aarhus Denmark from 22 to 26 August
2008. We invite papers for seminar 20 on Shakespeare and Discourse=
Stylistics
From copia to stylistic reticence, Shakespeare's
playtexts map out the extreme limits and
impasse of verbal communication. The present
seminar aims at assessing and highlighting the
discourse strategies and structures at stake in
conversational exchange and interaction in the
very process of capturing the world of human
understanding and relationships. Such a process
involves the difficulty, sometimes the
impossibility, and the exhilaration of mediating
that world through language. Shakespeare's
playtexts should be envisaged as being rooted in
a cultural and rhetorical context in which
meaning (and the difficulties of conveying
meaning) is a collaborative construction,
involving author, text, culture, and reader.
Papers are welcome on the range of Shakespeare's
negotiations with the problematics of the
production of meaning. Areas of exploration
include textual stylistics, semantics, pragmatics, and semiotics.
Contact details for Panel 20:
Dr. Mireille Ravassat (University of Valenciennes, France)
E-mail: mireilleravassat_at_yahoo.fr
Dr. Lene Petersen (University of the West of England, Bristol, UK)
E-mail: Lene.Petersen_at_uwe.ac.uk
Those wishing to participate in the Conference
are invited to submit 200-word abstracts of their
proposed papers directly to both convenors of the
seminar in question before 1 March 2008. The
convenors will let the proponents know whether
their proposals have been accepted no later than 21 March 2008.

Whether discussing high-profile cases like Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin or reviewing works on the subject by notables like Judge Richard Posner, the public appears keenly interested in plagiarism. Plagiarism detection devices, once all the rage are, with greater intensity, being challenged legally and ethically as inappropriate vehicles for detecting plagiarism. Most recently, Turnitin.com is in the middle of litigation challenging its business practices as violations of copyright law. Please join the Center for Intellectual Property as we attempt to address the plagiarism and cheating issues on college campuses and try to build communities that value academic integrity. ------------------- Building a Community that Values Academic Integrity http://www.umuc.edu/cip/ipa/ ------------------- Dates: February 25 - March 7, 2008 Moderators: Gary Pavela, M.A., J.D., Director of Judicial Programs and Student Ethical Development, University of Maryland -- College Park & Kimberly Bonner, J.D., Executive Director, Center for Intellectual Property, University of Maryland University College Studies show that establishing a community of shared academic values fosters academic integrity in the classroom. However, establishing that community may be more difficult when students adopt the values of a digital "remix" culture that challenges the traditional understanding of authorship. How do institutions foster academic integrity values in light of changing cultural norms? Are there special techniques and tools required? Are the best tools to use in preventing academic dishonesty "technical" like Turnitin.com? And are there additional legal and ethical issues involved when using technical measures to prevent academic dishonesty?

In the not too distant future (closer that I suspect many of us thought) the default format for most documents is going to be XML. Humanists readers should be interested in a new markup conference in Montreal, Canada this coming August that focuses on the leading edge of markup technology. Its organizers describe the conference as: "Balisage is a peer-reviewed conference designed to meet the needs of markup theoreticians and practitioners who are pushing the boundaries of the field. It=92s all about the markup -- how to create it; what it means; hierarchies and overlap; modeling; taxonomies; transformation; query, searching, and retrieval; presentation and accessibility; making systems that make markup dance (or dance faster to a different tune in a smaller space) -- in short, changing the world and the web through the power of marked-up information."

The Society, therefore, welcomes papers that discuss current or possible future computer-enhanced initiatives in the areas of Greek and Latin Epigraphy. We are particularly interested in papers that discuss theoretical applications of new technologies to the field of epigraphy and the formulation of international standards and protocols of publication and institutional credit, especially digital projects that go well beyond the mere encoding of the appearance of epigraphical sigla and indicia (which is akin to putting old wine into new wineskins) to include the en-coding of semantic and/or observational distinctions. Abstracts will be adjudicated anonymously by a committee of ASGLE and should not be longer than one page. Please follow the instructions for the format of individual abstracts that will appear in the October issue of the APA Newsletter. Abstracts should be sent to: Paul A. Iversen, ASGLE Secretary-Treasurer, Department of Classics, Case Western Reserve University, 11201 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44106-7111 or paul.iversen (at) cwru.edu.
