XIIIth Colloquium Hippocraticum

Call for Papers

What's Hippocratic about the Hippocratics?

The XIIIth triennial Colloquium Hippocraticum will be held at the
University of Texas at Austin August 11th-13th 2008.

The objective of the conference is to bring together scholars and
students of ancient medicine, science and philosophy to advance our
understanding of the compass of the term "Hippocratic". The term is
used primarily to refer to the authors, texts, theories and practices
of the Corpus Hippocraticum, which share a basic scientific outlook
but which are notoriously polemical one with another. To date most
research has focused on the disparities between treatises and
polemical relationships between authors. We are soliciting papers
which look more closely for specific commonalities and which identify
clusters of shared theories and practices. We are interested in
considering in what ways, if any, the Corpus as a whole, or at least
the major part of it, can be differentiated from other rationalist
medical theories of the fifth and fourth centuries B.C. as
illustrated in, e.g., the theories contained in the Anonymus
Londinensis, the writings of Diokles of Karystos, papyrus fragments
of medicine not duplicated in the Corpus, references to medicine in
non-medical texts. The main question we hope to address is, "Is the
Corpus the result of a haphazard process of collection of rational
medical treatises or were there criteria for selection that deemed
some rational medicine ineligible for inclusion in the Corpus?"
Examination of these issues could proceed either by intertextual
study of two or more treatises within the Corpus or by comparison of
treatises to works not included in the Corpus (literary, historical
and philosophical as well as medical). We hope to elicit papers
dealing with theory, therapy, chronology and geographical
provenance. Papers dealing with the early catalogues of the Corpus
or with later authors who can shed light on this question, such as
Galen, are welcome. Innovative papers only tangentially related to
the main theme of the Colloquium will also be considered.

The languages of the conference will be English, French, German,
Italian and Spanish. Proposals of 500-750 words should be sent,
preferably in electronic format, to Lesley Dean-Jones,
ldjones_at_mail.utexas.edu.
Surface mail: Department of Classics, 1 University Station C3400,
University of Texas, Austin, TX 78712, USA.

Deadline: February 8th, 2008. Authors whose papers are selected for
presentation will be notified by March 15th, 2008. We particularly
encourage proposals from graduate students and expect to have student
bursaries to offset their expenses.

This may be of interest to members of this list.
This year's TEI members' meeting (which is open to non-members) at the
University of Maryland is introducing conference-style sessions, of
which two may be of particular interest to members of this list: markup
as theory, and manuscript markup.

We still have some space for posters at the TEI members
meeting being held at the University of Maryland
from 31st-October to 3rd November.
Have you done something interesting recently?
Discovered a new way of using the TEI? written
a cool piece of TEI-related software?
Take the chance to come and show it to the TEI world!
We can accept submissions right up to mid October or so,
but we'll start filling up the available slots from now
on as posters are offered.
Send submissions to me and to Susan Schreibman
(sschreib at umd dot edu), and we'll get them reviewed
immediately. Make sure you send to both of us,
to cover holiday periods.
