Crisis, Criticism and Critique in Contemporary Greek Studies
The Modern Greek Studies Association of Australia and New Zealand's 11th Biennial Conference
The present crisis in Greece creates the presuppositions for a new critical approach to the accepted cultural orientation, self-awareness and social culture. The profound impact of the crisis on all levels of contemporary Greek life has already generated a systematic critique of the overall structure of modern Greek state, historical consciousness and political order expressed in all forms of cultural production through literature, arts, language studies, education and journalism.
The conference is dedicated to the exploration of the new cultural paradigm that is emerging for Greek studies and wants to investigate the parameters and the coordinates of the new critical self reflection that is likely to shape Greek studies in the near future.
Australasian Humour Studies Network Colloquium
HOLD THE DATE: 20TH AHSN COLLOQUIUM, WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND, 14-15 FEBRUARY 2014
The 2014 Annual AHSN Colloquium will take place at the National Library in Wellington, New Zealand, 14-15 February. The conference theme is, “Anything Goes” and the Call of Proposals will be made here in April.
As usual, papers will be welcome on any humour-related topic, but particularly those realting to the limits of humour and those occasions when professional and everyday humorists go too far. Since this is the first AHSN event to be held in New Zealand (ie. not Australia), attention is particularly encouraged for the issue of whether “anything goes” in trans-Tasman joking: given the close relations between the two countries, is it in fact possible to “go too far” in antipodean joking?
The colloquium is likely to include contributions from the New Zealand Cartoon Archive (housed in the National Library), and the New Zealand Film Archive, so issues relating to cartooning and film will also be welcome.
Conference Convenor is AHSN Review Panellist, Dr Mike Lloyd (Sociology, Victoria University of Wellington), assisted by VUW colleagues, Dr Marco Sonzogni (Italian,
Translation Studies), and AHSN member, Dr Meredith Marra (Linguistics).

Word and Image, East and West
October 28, 2011 – October 29, 2011
In the last twenty years the relationship between the visual and the verbal has become a key issue in the humanities in general and, in particular, in the creation of new inter-, multi- or transdisciplinary areas of study. Reaction to the growing presence of images in contemporary culture has, thus, led to a flourishing of publications, conferences and academic courses on the varied interactions between text and image. Yet, a comparative investigation on the way the East and West perceive the interrelation between the visual and the textual still needs particular attention.
Sustainable data from digital research: Humanities perspectives on digital scholarship
A PARADISEC conference
Digital methods for recording information are now ubiquitous. In fieldwork-based disciplines, like linguistics, musicology, anthropology and so on, recordings are typically of high cultural value and there is great benefit in the proper curation of these recordings, to the researcher, to the community in which they worked, and to the broader society.
What are the costs and benefits of these technologies?
Second Sydney Winter School on Experimental Economics
The School of Economics at The University of Sydney is pleased to announce a five-day winter school on advanced topics in experimental economics.
Two leading international experimental economists will participate in the winter school as teaching faculty. They are Professor Simon Gächter (University of Nottingham) and Professor Graham Loomes (University of Warwick).
The winter school will comprise four days of intensive coursework and laboratory sessions. On a fifth day, there will be a research symposium in which participants will have the opportunity to present results of their own research. The symposium will also include a poster session, in which participants will be able to present more preliminary work, including work at a design stage.
The winter school is intended primarily for PhD students from the Australasian region, however applications from early-career postdoctoral researchers and applicants from other parts of the world will also be considered should places be available. It is expected that all participants will either already be using experimental economics methods in their research, or intending to apply these methods to investigate aspects of their current research interests.
