CALL FOR CONTRIBUTION

The Société Internationale des Amis de Cicéron (SIAC), with support from the departments of Studi Umanistici of Università di Torino and Università del Piemonte Orientale et l’ERIAC (Équipe de Recherche Interdisciplinaire sur les Aires Culturelles – Université de Rouen-Normandie), calls for contributions (papers and/or posters) addressing various topics related to Cicero and Roman thought in digital perspectives.

The range of proposals includes, but is not limited to,

•       ideas for research projects (ongoing or completed) conducted via digital methods or tools
•       digital-oriented didactic strategies
•       digital editions
•       thoughts on how the use of digital methods or tools may impact the study of Cicero and Roman thought 

Abstracts must be limited to 500 words (bibliography excluded) and may be written in Italian, French, English, German, or Spanish. Contributors are invited to specify whether their proposal is designed as a paper or poster and, if a paper, whether they would be willing to make it a poster if necessary. By way of generic instruction, posters are better suited for a work in progress, whereas papers are the preferred format of a more accomplished project.

Those interested in contributing are invited to send an abstract via email to cicerodigitalis@gmail.com by 30th April 2020.

The most valuable contribution offered by a scholar at the stages of graduate student, PhD candidate, or post-doc, will be awarded the SIAC Prize, for the value of €200.

The organisation is able to cover the expenses for accommodation and meals, but not the travel costs, for the accepted speakers.

Proceedings of the conference will be published in a dedicated issue of COL - Ciceroniana on line http://www.ojs.unito.it/index.php/COL ISSN 2532-5353). All the contributions presented for publication (by 31 May 2021) will be subject to double-blind peer review. The volume of proceedings will be issued by the end of 2021.
