		<description><![CDATA[I have always been a fan of Sade, as I thought he was way too advanced for his time. Consequently, he paid the price! So, when I saw on H-Net list the advertisement of a new book on him, I thought I should share the news with you. It may be a little bit expensive to buy but I will be there when the library gets it. William F. Edmiston, Sade: Queer Theorist, Voltaire Foundation, SVEC 2013:03, ISBN 978-0-7294-1064-9, x+244 pages, £60 / €80 / $105. &#8220;Following an overview of queer theory, William F. Edmiston examines the categories of sex, gender and sexuality as treated in some of Sade’s best- and lesser-known works. He demonstrates the extent to which Sade erodes the boundaries of sexual opposition through discourses justifying rather than illegitimizing ‘unlawful’ sex. Edmiston reveals the coexistence of two competing discourses on sexuality: a proclivity that cannot be eradicated, and a habit that one can choose to adopt. This pioneering re-reading culminates with an examination of how recent biographies attempt to force Sade into a normal/abnormal dichotomy, manipulating police reports, personal correspondence or narratorial interventions to establish (or not) the author’s homosexuality.&#8221; As seen in H-Net]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago robbers attacked one of the security guard of the Old Museum at Olympia and have stolen dozens of small bronze figurines, ceramic vases and other small artefacts. According to reports, they initially aimed at stealing a collection of gold artefacts but these were no longer hosted in the museum. The police, finally, released a list of these items. I present here the photos. If you want more information on any one of them, contact me and I will see what I can do. Lamps 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;THE BRITISH SCHOOL AT ATHENS POSTGRADUATE TRAINING COURSE IN GREEK NUMISMATICS A. G. Leventis Foundation Student Bursaries The BSA is pleased to announce a number of A. G. Leventis bursaries (of up to full fees) to allow students to attend the two-week postgraduate course in Greek Numismatics 20th May – 3rd June 2012. The deadline for course applications is January 31st. Coins are an essential source of primary evidence for all students of the ancient world &#8211; historians, archaeologists, and literary scholars alike. This two-week training course provides hands-on experience of working with coins, both for those new to the subject and for those who wish to further their interest. The course offers a chronological survey of Greek coinage, beginning in the late Archaic period and continuing through the Classical into the Hellenistic and Greek Imperial periods. The coinages of Greek settlements in various parts of the eastern and western Mediterranean will be studied. There will also be sessions on the analytical techniques that assist the study of coins, such as describing and cataloguing them, the importance of die studies and the information that can be derived from them, hoards and site finds, weight standards and metrology, metallurgical analysis, databases. The course will be taught at the BSA. In addition to lectures and seminars led by the course Director (Prof. Keith Rutter), there will be guest lectures on a variety of numismatic topics, and students will engage in personal and group work, in particular to identify coins which will be assigned to them and to present the results of their study. The course will utilise the rich range of numismatic resources in and around Athens – museums and other coin collections, archaeological sites, and libraries. The course fee of £700 includes accommodation in shared rooms at the BSA, where self-catering facilities are available, as well as 24-hour access to the superb library, entry to all sites and museums, and BSA membership for one month. Free membership for the remainder of the session will be offered to students wishing to remain at the School after the course to continue their research. Travel to and from Greece is the sole responsibility of the course participant. The course is limited to 10 places, and is open to students pursuing post-graduate degrees. Students are recommended to apply to their universities for financial support; a number of BSA-administered bursaries are available for students who would otherwise be unable to attend. Further information can be obtained from the BSA website (www.bsa.ac.uk). Completed application forms and an academic reference letter should be emailed to the Assistant Director (assistant.director@bsa.ac.uk) no later than January 31st 2012&#8243; Classics list]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a conference very close to my research interests. I would have liked to participate. Is anyone else going? &#8220;Call for Proposals &#8211; Annual Conference of the Metropolitan Library of Bucharest, Sinaia, Romania, 20-22 September 2011. Section IV c. WORKSHOP &#8220;Greek and Roman Armies in Northern Balkans : Conflicts and Integration of the Warrior Communities, Vth c. B.C.- IIId c. A.D. &#8221; This workshop is part of the research project &#8220;Warrior Structures and Exchanges between ancient Balkan Peoples&#8221;, Metropolitan Library of Bucharest, Bucharest University, Archaeological Institute of Tirana, University of Paris IV Sorbonne, UMR 8167 &#8220;East and Mediterranean &#8220;. The first workshop on this subject was hold in Bucharest in Sept. 2010 and the proceedings for 2010 will be published in the journal Dacia, Revue d&#8217;archéologie et d&#8217;histoire ancienne, 55 (2011). Strabo, in the seventh book of his Geography, distinguished as a coherent geographical set the regions located &#8220;between the Adriatic and the left part of the Euxine, separate from the first [ie other areas of northern and Eastern Europe] by the Ister and go south to Greece and Propontis&#8221; (Strabo, VII, 1, 1). We propose here to consider the consistency of this whole Balkan area, in terms of military relations between the peoples of the Balkans and the Greeks and the Romans, between the fifth century B.C. and the third century A.D. The different forms of these relationships and the exchanges that have accompanied them can inform us about the structures of these warrior societies, who are among the least known of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. The exchanges are not limited to purely commercial transactions : we will be interested in men and value products exchanged in warrior contexts. These relationships, in a military point of view, are conceived through two components : conflict, conquest and looting raids in one hand, and, in the other hand, the integration of warrior communities of the Balkans within the Greek and Roman armies. We will focus on the progressive integration of the Balkan peoples, Illyrians, Paeonians, Thracians, Celts and other peoples of the Danube valley, in Greek and Roman armies, from the classical area to the Roman rule, which seems to have put an end to a certain form of social and military organization in the region. The establishment of Roman rule seems indeed to be a break in the history of these peoples, whose bellicosity, channeled through the Hellenistic kingdoms by massive enlistments in the armies, then expressed through a resumption of looting raids and enduring conflicts with the Romans. The study of the modalities of the integration of these warriors in the Roman armies could allow a better understanding of the changes in the local warrior structures that occurred during the Roman period. We will focus particularly on coins, which can contribute significantly to the knowledge of the military operations led in the region and of the relationships between the warriors communities of the Balkan area and the Greek and Roman armies. Contributions covering literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources are also very welcome. Proposals should not exceed 300 words and are expected before 15 June 2011. Accepted languages: French and English. A limited number of travel bursaries may be offered. Papers should be sent by e-mail to Aliénor RUFIN SOLAS, Paris IV Sorbonne University, France : alienor.rufinsolas@gmail.com and Adrian DUMITRU, Metropolitan Library of Bucharest : seleukosnikator@yahoo.com&#8221; Classics list]]></description>
